Yes, I agree. I understand the point the article is making, and it’s an important one, but it’s disingenuous to say that this means the sentence isn’t lenient or that the judge didn’t engage in “coddling,” since that’s comparing apples and oranges.

These stats are old, but no reason to think they are not still pretty close. (From Wikipedia). So the sentence is ABSOLUTELY "lenient" compared to a usual sentence for a *convicted* rapist.

The Daily Beast said Persky “coddled” Turner; the petitioners said the sentence was “lenient.” Yet they’re both wrong. The truth is that Brock Turner will spend more time in jail than 97 percent of rapists.

Clearly you need to change the title to read:

I’m with you, man. But I’d take it one step further and say that there’s no difference between reading the first paragraph or two and reading the entire article.

“Guys, we already fired like all of our customer support and quality control departments but we still need MORE money. Is there anyone else whose work we could outsource for free?”

Beyond Good and Evil was one of my favourite games I’ve ever played. And I’m certain a sequal could improve a lot of the first games mix of open world/sneaking and platform gameplay. But alas it was never meant to be.

I can understand why Tyler got personal, he just assumed the Tenman didn't have a heart.

-Remember that time I wrote a poorly-worded and confusing email to you that was just a hair under the length of the Infinite Jest?

-I do, ole chap! I had such a silly haircut back then. Welp, let's bury the hatchet and get back to completely ruining the entire fucking world.

Is it possible to make a movie without offending someone anymore?

Congratulations. You just said something FAR worse than a random kid in a video jokingly saying "I'm gonna rape you".

Premium, hand-built, kevlar woofers, silk tweeters... the Audioengine A2 Desktop Speakers have the qualities and reviews to back up their price. Audioengine is a brand loved by audiophiles, and the step-up Audioengine A5+ System was a contender in Lifehacker's voting.

To be fair, those were pretty badass flower pots.

Actually, Fun comes second, silly Square-Enix.

Well crap. I put some finishing touches on it and everything. You are a rat bastard, Owen.

Somebody had to do it!

I much prefer the ending where this was all a prequel to Malcolm in the Middle.
