If you know that I am emotionally vulnerable and that you have a great deal of influence over me, then yeah, it might just be criminal for you to use that influence to badger me into (or even just suggest) that I do something harmful to myself or others.

If the “just a teenager with an undeveloped brain” argument worked around here, it wouldn’t get shot down so hard every time some joker tries to use it in a High School Jock(s) Rape a Girl case.

Men’s Rights Activists would tend agree with you, then ask where you and your outrage were the other 97% of the time when it was a man being ordered to pay a woman..

Kenny and the Llamas :
The other side of neighbors deciding easements aren’t actually a thing: Them unilaterally deciding that they are! Right after I had moved in, I had a neighbor claim they had an easement through my driveway to get to the back of their lot. (Their lot was L shaped, and they had put up a sheet…

“My intentions was to have God kill me. I ran out of bullets,” he said. “Suicide by cop was my intention.” 

Advice: before you start, put a loose round in you pocket. That way, if you miscount or otherwise unexpectedly run out of ammunition, you have that one round left to ‘finish up’.

If so, is calling for its removal an attempt to erase white culture? And isn’t attempting to erase someone’s culture a Bad Thing?

Nope. Southhampton NY municipal code :

Too bad the fire alarms didn’t go off, requiring the evacuation of the building and the disruption of the gala.

$100 isn’t going to phase celebrities at all. NYC needs to either adopt the Scandinavian system where fines are related to income, or give the health department police the option to give jail time to individuals to whom the monetary penalty is insufficient to deter the behavior.

Of course this will never happen. The…

Look! Twenty something catalog models wearing lab coats & scrubs! Frankly, none of them look old enough to be doctors or inspire confidence. maybe I am just getting to be an old fart, though.

Sounds like a place I used to work.

Men : no “unnatural” hair colors, no visible jewelry except engagement/wedding rings, Two (+) piece suit, dress shoes, and conservatively colored button up shirt (white, maybe a very subtle pastel) only. Tie must not be clip-on.

Women : Purple highlights on fake ginger hair (an…

Hey, if you’re pregnant, you stop having your period. No extra 3 days/month of paid period leave for you! You get to work every workday until you go on maternity leave, unless you use vacation or regular sick time. My friend who had the hysterectomy (cancer) wouldn’t get these days either. One wonders, in fact,…

A nice starting point for change would be to stop using “guess who is never gonna fuck again” or variants there of as the go-to insult for men one doesn’t like or agree with.

Uh, no, it wasn’t. After the 1848 war, (white/mestizo) Mexican citizens living in the ceded territories were given the option of retaining their Mexican citizenship and leaving the ceded territories, or exchanging their Mexican citizenship for US citizenship and staying.

The “Mexican Repatriation” with its forced…

Most of the “anarchists” I’ve met are the 20 something equivalent of petulant teenagers who don’t like having their parent’s tell them to go to bed by 11 on a school night.

Washington and Oregon’s ports handled 106 million tons of cargo compared to California’s 189 million tons in 2013. But yeah, every major port on the Pacific is in California...

“What is the requirement for life?”

Other than the getting hit on part, this sounds a little like my experience trying to shop at a fabric store. Nobody would wait on me until I basically accosted an employee, then they were amazed that I was there on my own and for myself.

Well, the other major difference: Once they got over their initial surprise,…

Its been nearly 30 years, but I seem to recall Biden’s Presidential run in 1988 falling afoul of a plagiarism scandal too. Give her 30 years to ripen, maybe she will become everyone’s wacky aunt...

And here is why high fashion isn’t making any headway into getting men to pay attention to what it offers men.
