"one girl's supervisor stripping off her clothes and taking pictures of her, then reaching for her genitals; when she applied for the job, that same supervisor made her send a naked picture as a hiring condition"

I was trying to think of a super witty comment, but I will not try. You win.

Laughs like this are why I read stories on this site.

Yes, it is nice to see justice against those notorious for escaping it like abusive cops.

"If seven years in prison still sounds way to lenient to you for the rape of a young woman, you're not alone"

Something about being around kids and strangers alters my vocabulary. I get very inhibited. Now, if their parents are around and are cool with it for a long time, I begin to talk more like I do at home. I remember back when my friend's daughter was 13 and he had to bring her by our Saturday night gaming, suddenly the…

I am sure there is Bible-friendly investing. There is certainly Islamic investing (which I first read about in Harpers magazine back in the 1990s):

Reality rarely makes entertaining drama. This is why I am flat-out opposed to fictionalizing real people, real events and history. It confuses people and they end up believing it happened that way. I find a documentaries comparing Anne Frank's diary to other evidence far more compelling than the drama about it, anyway.

Yeah, I don't doubt the cats could take the rat. However, is it worth getting bitten by a possibly diseased, infectious rodent to kill it? This is why predators prey on the weak and the fleeing. Sure, they could take down tougher prey, but why risk the injury? Also, a lot of predators will run at anything that charges…

Domesticated cats hunt rodents much smaller than they are. Hunting animals are very picky about choosing prey that cannot effectively fight back. That is why wolf packs go for the sick deer and not the alpha buck (I have seen footage of a buck chasing off a pack of wolves... they do NOT want to mess with a big buck…

I think people who grope around and do worse still count on nobody saying anything. In fact, I think their assumption that she will not report them is usually correct.

I thought of dear old dad when I read your post. My father eventually learned to tone it down. However, I liked some of his observations. For example, there was a gay conversion therapy group near where we lived and the local news interviewed their ringleader. We saw the segment while waiting in a doctor's office. The…

"(especially knowing that at least in California CPS' goal is to keep the family together when possible)"

Your mom sounds awesome.

Do you know the language well enough to know it is offensive? Did those languages have a term that could mean stupid or mute depending on context?

Reminds me of something I saw in Playboy when I was a teenager. I don't know if the shop was real, but they had penis-shaped eclaires with white custard filling.

I know this is not the thrust of the story, but this is important to know:

Bending to the demands of the powerful has always been called brave by the powerful. A kid testifies against his parents? The prosecutor calls him brave. Someone leaves an insurgent organization and publicly denounces the insurgency? The national leaders call him brave. Someone hides from the people trying to kill her…

"the big debate with this is scientists say life begins at implantation"

Abortifacient has always been a word in English at least as long as modern English has existed. In recent time its definition has been expanded to include substances that inhibit embryo implantation.
