I have a feeling the dumb police are actually sitting around truly believing that he DID do it. Which makes it so much easier/liklier that they will try to frame him for something else. Because framing someone who “deserves it” is easy to justify. That’s what it looked like happened with his uncle in the first place!

You can try but babies eat about every 3 hours. That time spreads out a bit more as they get older. BUT when you’re running late and have a massive list of a million things that you need to grab and think you can pop into the mall for whatever and make it home on time for feeding that’s not usually gunna work out so…

It is literally for shotgun marriages where dumb fathers think it’s better for a pregnant daughter to be married and “respectable”. It’s disgusting really.

It’s not molestation but actually rape... statutory rape but still rape.

Well I’m sure in countries with a lot of those problems women don’t have jobs that would qualify them for mat leave. Also just because there is a policy/law doesn’t mean it’s enforced. It’s possible women in countries where mat leave is a thing aren’t being paid what they should be and have limited recourse ,…

Lots of midwives in the US are also Nurse Practitioners and can administer/prescribe certain meds. There are restrictions on this of course. I would also argue that you would want to be under the care of a midwife that has this type of background. It tells you they went to nursing school, went back for their…

So rapey yet such a common reaction. The whole she didn’t say “NO! STOP!” loudly and obnoxiously so how was I supposed to know excuse is maddening.

Honestly I think this will not impact his reputation at all- I think it should but I doubt it will. After all most people see Foos as the villain and Talese less culpable. While that is true (Foos committed actual crimes), I think his whole writing is indicative of the lack of understanding/ actual caring about…

I have had a male co worker tell me they would only share pertinent project information with me if I made them cookies! Since we were on a project site and the car was rented to me, I said ok fine then walk to work. I doubt he would have actually withheld the info for cookies but I was not impressed with the threat.…

Yeah I’ve actually had that happen to me on vacation in Spain, but I was with my boyfriend and the scammers were a norwegian couple. They were a little older (mid 30's) and saw we’d just gotten engaged. They said they wanted to buy us a few congratulatory drinks. Sat down and were chatting for like 3 hrs - food drink,…

I feel like we are getting closer and closer to living out the handmaiden’s tale....

I’m going to go ahead and assume it’s just being racist and having no one care that he misses.

Well “rape victim” is clearly a coveted status in college. Those lucky one in four!!

Let’s just all remember her step daughter is 19 and in her first year of college. I remember having very similar opinions at that point in my life - guys are better at casual sex, you CAN have casual hook ups but more than 3 times with the same guy is problematic, or if you actually want a relationship you have to act…

Ha yeah I’ve had guys get clingy from drunken make out sessions... not even sex! and this was in college (so 4+ years ago)

I’m 25 and my parents STILL say these things....

They just throw as many charges as they can possibly reach for in the hopes that they will intimidate them into taking a plea. If you’re looking at one charge vs 15 it’s a lot easier to fight it. In the case of many charges, as a lawyer I would worry they would be found guilty on one and then get slapped with punitive…

I’m just wondering how he managed to get the real senator to show up a month later or know about the scheduling error in the first place? No way he could’ve pulled this off if they showed up together.

This is a good perspective. Especially because as a vet tech you probably could take photos of pets during procedures or surgery and not get in much trouble. Certainly could lose customers or if it was super egregious and went viral or something be publicly shamed/shunned by a local community. BUT because pets are…

I think in context it is important to specify because it could be seen as being designed to protect “native German (ie white)” women from the nasty refugees/immigrants (non-white) in general- thus a xenophobic, racist move. When it’s more likely that it’s meant to try to make all women more comfortable on the trains.
