The real reason this is a false claim is that a FISA warrant, as I read, would never be granted on a single piece of evidence, especially one as unconfirmed as Steele. There was plenty of other evidence. The memo simply omits it.

And let us not forget how large a proportion of individuals out there have no actual interest in D/s, itself, and just want to get off to something transgressive while being completely un-submissive and super-demanding.

Yeah, my reach for “subversive” was an attempt to try to find something positive. It was half-hearted.

I assume the worst-case scenario involves NYSAG Schneiderman bringing state charges. 

they often seem to think the money they spend dissolves the boundaries that have been put in place

These guys go the commercial route because no woman would give it for free. And that’s not due to a shortage of dominant women.

Feet are another big earner.

Yep. I have a really icky relationship with Findom. As someone rather kinky with friends in the “adult industry” I’ve come across these types before and it just makes me feel really uncomfortable.

I drive an ‘06 R18 Civic. Have for over ten years.

That thread is downright frightening. These people seem to exist in some parallel universe which has a completely different set of laws and social standards as the one I step into every morning.

I just can’t wait for this to be a storyline on the next series of W1A.

That’s the core of everything for me! I have not yet seen the film. And not because I’m inherently hesitant but because I don’t really “jump” to see stuff at all anymore. There’s a world of reaction, and I’m sure I won’t hate the film or have it spark some kind of “oh god Star Wars is awful and you’re awful for liking…

That is so far from an actual source that supports your argument.

It is like you don’t read what I post. At all.

Non-verbal cues are a form of communication. Indirect verbal cues are a form of communication. There are legitimate reasons why those are used in all social situations, including sexual situations.

It is almost as if intense police reform meets the core needs of a number of vulnerable and exploited minority groups.

You can try to find ways to maintain conflict or you can try to repair problems and create betterment.

I’m not “condemning” anything. I was sharing an anxiety that I have and discussing a nice bit of personal Star Wars expereince/love with others.

On a more serious note, I say “guys” for everyone. Your gender doesn’t matter to me. I also may refer to people as dude.

I wonder what the root of the split is, or possibly there are many different roots converging?
