He volunteered to go on tv as an undecided voter in possibly the nastiest and most obvious presidential election in modern history. I’m having a really hard time mustering sympathy for him.

I’m almost fifty, and I’ve always known that if a person is passed out, she CANNOT possibly give consent. I’m not sure what’s so ambiguous about that.

So everything is hunky-dory then? “It’s the way it was” is FUCKING BULLSHIT, for your information.

Has anyone ever known a Shane that <i>wasn’t</i> an asshole?

Yeah I’d trade having to use an inhaler for living on an Amish farm any day of the week.

A quick scan of the comments here seems to indicate a general agreement that this woman indeed raped her charge, because his mental faculties are so impaired that he is incapable of giving consent. And she certainly does sound unprofessional!

One thing few people talk about is the terrible cognitive load being poor has on people. The article touches on it but doesn’t do it justice. You are constantly thinking: ‘I need to do this,’ ‘I need to do that’ and ‘I have do that thing right now or things will really cascade out of control’. There is no ‘I want to…

Holy shit this is all so fascinating. MOAR MOAR!!
