She asked to “slow down” after they both had oral sex within 2 minutes of entering the apartment on a kitchen counter - “slow down” in that context would logically be interpreted to mean, let’s slow down and move to a couch or a bed instead of the kitchen.

Just want to add that this is told entirely from her perspective, and edited to support that, so it is probably as biased as you can get to making it seem like the “nonverbal cues” were super obvious - and even then they seem to have been ambiguous. Especially in the overall context of getting and staying naked, and…

TBF, have to keep in mind that this is told entirely from her perspective, and edited to support that, so it is probably as biased as you can get to making it seem like the “nonverbal cues” were super obvious - and even then they seem to have been ambiguous. Especially in the overall context of getting and staying…

Remember, the babe story is entirely from her perspective, and edited to try and support Grace’s side as much as possible - so it’s pretty much as biased as can be without any provision of Ansari’s perspective. If you actually look at what was objectively done and said, getting and staying naked and giving two…

You’d be surprised at the parallels between Trumpism and National Socialism. National Socialism was intended to combine right wing “nationalism” with the populism aspects of socialism (but without the socialist left-wing aspects.) Pretty much what Trumpism is, adding populism to nationalist right-wing ideologies.

not that those who seek power are blinkered low intellect idealogues, but the electorate that they need to appeal to.

No he was not, and it’s basically what everyone’s stories are trying to clarify about “black outs”. Blackouts occur when alcohol can affect memory but not decision making, which are two separate things. So, while consent requires the person to be able to make decisions, it does not require someone to be able to…

It is, but it’s important to remember that if you consider “depreciation” to be the cost of running a car, you have to consider the monthly payment to not be a cost at all.

One thing that always bothered me about edmunds TCO (and if I’m the only one please comment). But I think it should be made clearer is that the number given is not in addition to your monthly car note. I always see this discussed as “costs that go beyond your monthly car note” but in actually this calculation…

I don’t think you know how tax deductions for charitable giving works.

As you pointed out, it saves 10 minutes of your day (probably 15 if you include time cleaning stuff).

My job too. Just pointing out that while it feels like they’re getting punished for a “new” crime that they had not been actually convicted of, there is no new punishment for that - the punishment is for the original crime that they were convicted of. They have the option to not opt for probation.

While you talk about the “dangers’ of the Central Bank control over monetary policy (and true, that in the long run governments can do shitty things and cause problems), you ignore the role it does have in stabilizing the currency as well - as that is the entire purpose of central banks.

It actually does, and is the entire basis behind the creation of a Fiat currency. Not something you’ll get to in Econ 101 lecture - but commonly accepted once you delve deeper into understanding monetary theory. Fiat currency being supported just by common belief alone is a common fallacy.

Money has because Governments require tax payments to be made in money (though of course, that currency is only as strong as the Governments ability to enforce taxation). If the government says you need to pay 20% of the value of your labor in taxes - then suddenly there’s a value of money in terms of something real -…

Well yes of course, nothing in the world is certain - but there’s “more” there backing it up - namely for the US Government - I just named “force” i.e. the ability to criminally enforce its laws as one of them, but of course that in turn is backed by a real and diversified economy. Investing in Venezuelan currency…

Well in the case of real currency, it’s backed by more than just everyone’s general belief - but by laws designating it as legal tender, and a government designating it as the required form of payment of taxes. While still requiring belief and acceptance at the end of the day - with government backed currency - that…

Truffle Oil doesn’t actually have any real truffles in it. It’s made from an artificial flavoring that is similar to truffles.

It doesn’t go against innocent until proven guilty - probation means they were already found guilty - but just given the option of postponing the punishment as long as certain criteria are met.
