Not for nothing, none of that is relevant to whether it is legal or moral that the police killed him. Luckily our legal system has evolved beyond your bronze-aged mentality.

I'm not sure you understand what the phrase "less likely" actually means....

I was at media/industry day yesterday and attended the Lexus presser. I'm new to the industry AND on the legal side, so I don't hold my own opinion in particularly great esteem, but couldn't help but wonder if I was crazy to think this thing was terrible.

I'm not nearly as long of a reader, but I guess I'm confused not only by your expectations, but by your apparent belief that this article is intended to be taken seriously, as some kind of moral commentary. Was Jezebel of the past really earnest or something?

I grew up in this school district. The rationale that they always gave parents for closing on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur when I was a kid in the 90s was that the district did not have enough substitutes to cover the teacher shortage. That makes sense.

I would actually be all for an article that details how to effectively disable an attack from a woman, even if on a men's site, so long as it had a similarly nuanced discussion regarding the necessity of having a good reason and understanding the consequences.

My advice is to nurture your respect and affection for each other. Romance and passion will ebb and flow, there will be times when you can't stand you spouse's face, shit will get real. But if you still feel genuine respect and affection for your partner, you can weather through the tough or boring or tedious or…

I, like nearly all of the commenters here, think it makes no sense to argue this should only apply to women.

I understand the impulse not to live next door to a burglar. But what if incarceration is actually more damaging to society in the long run? The evidence is starting to make it pretty clear that we need to find alternative means of punishment and rehabilitation.

I'm with you on the fact that there isn't some vast conspiracy. But the lobbies behind the prison system are powerful. It is just like many other issues: (1) there are people with money who are invested in the status quo; (2) those people are willing to further invest in maintaining the status quo; and (3) those…

The first story reminds me of my father-in-law. When he visits he insists on taking us out to eat. He isn't horribly abusive to the staff, but he tends to be rude then leaves a 5% tip, max. My husband and I have an understanding that as everyone is getting up to leave, one of us will say we need to run to the restroom…

Also prefer the Prince episode. Granted its like ranking a good night's sleep and hitting all the traffic lights green, but Prince for me (and probably sleep).

In fairness, Catholic right to life groups do. I used to be one of them.

In fairness, Catholic right to life groups also oppose the death penalty.

So the system worked. She is in control, and got to reevaluate her decision and change it.

THIS. She is conflating social services with the fleeting joy children feel receiving and enjoying candy. The actual fuck?

I am generally a big fan of striving to understand actual risk. But the point of such an exercise is to grapple with whether the preventative measures someone is taking are too high of a cost compared to the actual risk.

I'm blessed (?) to have a retired mother who loves to knit/weave/crochet and is anxiously waiting for me to have a kid, so I can usually give a homemade baby blanket. I coordinate the color palate with the future mom, it is always washable, and I'll shell for the organic cotton for the people I know will care.

Yeah, NOTHING in California. I wonder if my husband, who is an even bigger fan than I am, would object to a long road trip to your neck of the woods....

To my knowledge yes. For example, the kind of thing they would note during stakeouts is that the victims had no free range of movement out of a store-front. The purpose was to show that the victims were held by coercion, not simply that sex work took place in the building.
