First off, I understand that it is wrong, and I'd never engage in that sort of behavior.

Actually, yes. It's apparently super obvious, but it happened to me and I took no mental nor physical damage. If it stops at a grab, it's fairly safe to assume most people would take no physical damage, so it's a mental thing.

No. I'm not going to argue against it. I'm going to try to understand why I didn't feel like a thing that everybody agrees is wrong was wrong.

I don't know how the law works around multiple infractions of similar/identical crimes, but how about we stick him with "10 or 12" counts of being a minor in possession of a controlled substance?

The major problem here is that you keep doing exactly what I said.

I'm having difficulty understanding what you're trying to get at. Women experience something and they don't react aggressively. They explain why they don't react aggressively. I have read these explanations. They all take for granted that the thing to which they are not aggressively reacting is harmful. They all…

You don't need to feel sorry for me.

I didn't filter anybody's experiences through my perspective but my own. This happened to me, and my reaction was very much "so what". The problem with that is that it makes it hard to empathize with other people who went through similar things, because my reaction to them would be very much in the vein of "it's not…

Tangential bloop because I realize I haven't told the internet about this yet and it's sorta relevant!

Your explanation is perfectly understandable...

Segmentation fault.

People can't possibly be that easily influenced.

Optical illusions work because of shortcuts in the image processing parts of our brains. We can process most cases better/faster if we take shortcuts here and there, and these sorts of images exploit that. I'm a lot more comfortable accepting this.

Oh it probably affects me, too. As far as I know, I don't have any condition that would excuse me from it. And I don't outright deny it. The science says so, and I can't put up an argument that says it's wrong.

...O...kay?

You being the second person to link this, I'll probably have to give it a watch later.

You're going the opposite direction of the study. You're saying that people who think they have more power take up more space. The study says taking up more space makes you feel like you have more power.

I'm aware that the studies say this kind of thing makes you feel more powerful. To suggest it actually did would really be absurd.

Every time I hear a result like this, my initial reaction is that it's absurd. People can't possibly be that easily influenced.
