Gen X might be the absolute worst generation.

It would be wild if Julie and Ruth were drafted

I was still hoping for more Peggy and Stan.

I’m getting so frustrated with people’s perspectives on this because it really lacks an understanding of dementia and what it would mean to be in mental decline and not be allowed physical intimacy. Someone with alcohol can be prevented from having sex because we know they’ll be sober tomorrow. However, it’s a lot…

That’s the thing! My same reaction to that girl who shot the giraffe “for the villagers”. Even if you are “helping”, how can you be so happy about it?

Yes. This. The dark chocolate sea salt Kind Bars are great as a between meal snack when you need something with actual substance. I get that the saturated fat content is a bit high, but the sugar is low, the energy is long lasting, and the saturated fats are coming from a healthy source.

Sweet Thai Chili!!!

Make it spinach instead of kale and I’m in!!

Dude, you’re supposed to leave it after you’re done. No wonder they don’t have them any more.

I don't do diets but I could get behind a pomegranates and salmon diet. Yum.

Because the 90s Fat Free myth really got us into the great place we are, today.

also fruits = sugar/carbs and sugar/carbs ≠ unhealthy?

The honey mustard one

I might agree, but also suggest the Garner-Affleck kids.

They’re little Foodie Howsers, CNS.

I think, more than anything, I’d like to know his side (not the statements of his lawyers). Most of us here are fairly comfortable with the concept of somebody not being capable of consent, but for a guy who’s almost 80, if his wife seemed coherent and consenting I don’t think there should be any surprise he would…

At the same time, adults who are not fully in control of their facilities might still want intimacy and desire sex. Who gets to decide if they can have it?

I agree it sounds like he was informed. But, just as a hypothetical, what if he has early dementia/Alzheimer’s? He’s 78 so not out of the realm of posibility. Maybe he completely forgot the conversation with the doctors and thought she consented when he was visiting with her?

Not trying to justify, just a thought that…

Listen, you really believe that a bunch of strangers who are only paid to warehouse someone and meet minimum medical needs are more qualified to determine someone’s sexual intent than the person’s spouse? Go read the New York Times article this is ripped off from and then I think you’ll better understand the issues.

All of the commentators are in arms about this because it appears they’ve decided to completely believe the prosecution’s version of events. That’s usually a bad idea!
