id like to second that on him being dead and not her.

Welker then responded that the $14,000 was likely all eaten by the "tote magoat."

I thought the universal greeting was "Bah-weep-graagnah weep nini bong."

That might be the first time I have ever heard of someone saying they Bluebook for the hell of it.

You're confusing legal ethics with personal ethics, which is understandable in this context. As a matter of legal ethics, its clear that Hiedstand is in the clear. There is nothing professionally unethical about representing an outrageously evil bastard.

Huh. My immediate reaction was "yes, of course it is - it's very easy to avoid assaulting someone." I understand why people might read it in the context of rape culture/victim blaming, but I guess I am somewhat surprised that it's so problematic it must be taken down and not doubled down on as a "Yes, we mean it,…

One of my old high school buddies, who has leaned right since we were in high school, posted something about the thought police on his Facebook feed. My response must have hit the right conservative tone:

But they can still be confidential in the sense that they won't be made public.

I have a question about rights to privacy. Let's say something is done by a man, in seclusion, away from the general public. And then a woman, on her own volition gets her hand on an electronic device and uses it to further her own personal agenda, to the vociferous objection of the man and the lurid fascination of…

Ditto. I have no interest in being jack-hammered into the ground by All-Day Jay.

Pearl Jam > Nirvana. No "because" or explanation necessary.

No, it's illegal to record a private conversation without the consent of all parties irrespective of what your purpose is. It opens you up to criminal and civil liability. See Cal. Pen. Code Section 632.

I liked that scene better in the book, where after Jamie checked his privilege and gave up his position as Kingsguard to an underprivileged transgender womyn from Flea Bottom, he and Cercei go on to smash the patriarchy by writing a 25 page personal essay about their father and leaving it passive-aggressively on the…

Does this mean Northwestern is going to abandon the traditional purple and employ a pinker tone?

I think it's safe to say that if Northwestern drops women's fencing, we've got a full blown epeedemic on our hands.

He will be taking the bar this summer, I think. I haven't followed up on it, but yes, that was also one of the major concerns people had - you're giving a spot in the class and money to someone who has a pretty high chance of not passing character and fitness?!

A. If a victim doesn't remember the encounter, and has hostile feelings when she wakes up, it's rape. Not probable rape. not anecdotal rape. LEGAL RAPE.

PROOF is reserved for logic and mathematics. Everything else just requires sufficient evidence.

I'm not arguing that people don't have a right to change their minds. I'm saying that you can't negate a rape that's already happened. I don't really see how it could be otherwise.

I dunno, I don't find it complex at all. If you have sex with someone against their will, it's rape. Whatever happens afterwards cannot negate that deed.

What's that Louis CK bit about men who press women for sex, because even though she's saying no she might really want it? Something about the fucked-up-ness of…
