As it should be.

@lufins-dad said in Minnesota Supreme Court Overturned Rape Conviction:

Can an intoxicated woman actually give consent? I'm not talking unconscious. I'm not talking so drunk she can barely stand up. I'm talking about the level where she shouldn't drive home, but can still carry on a conversation....

If the answer is "No", it begs the question of the percentage of sex acts which qualify as rape?

I take this so seriously because a situation like I described ruined my best friend's life. I mean destroyed him.

Any specifics you’re able to share about this, LD?

All I'll say is that everybody was a little inebriated. We could drive but shouldn't have... My date and I left when his date started saying we should all go back to his place. At this point she was sitting in his lap...So we said thanks, but we really have to get going. The next day his college career was over. It never went to criminal charges, but it came damn close to it.

@jolly said in Four Stars:

Two of the stars are not credited.

I wasn't aware of that. I was only aware that my second guess was one of only a few movies that had a ton of stars from that era.

The third one was, I believe....

:::

Around the World in 80 Days

:::

But, I wasn't going to guess that one because I knew some of the stars you mentioned weren't in it.

Not at all like that.

Did you really just say that on TNCR? 😆

Gauleiter?

@jolly said in Step right up!:

I do believe I beat you to it, several days ago....

Did you? My thread is a couple days old, too.

Who pwn3d whom? 😄

@jolly that’s right.

I shared that very meme with our group a little while back. 😄

(Basically, fireball is a BIG damn spell. It sets EVERYthing on fire. Everything. It's basically a magical IED. So the classic blunder is for an inexperienced wizard or sorcerer to cast that shit in a too-small space and set their party on fire.)

I'm a fire sorcerer in our group. (Read: not a wizard.)

My wife's a cleric.

Good ramen has a depth to the broth.

Broth?

From Wikipedia:

Ramen is a Japanese noodle soup. It consists of Chinese wheat noodles served in a meat or fish-based brothh

You will note she has toned down the outrageous stuff a whole lot.

@george-k said in 16 allegations:

"I want to emphasize at the outset that we and Deshaun recognize that sexual assault and harassment are not only unlawful, but morally wrong,"

Wow, nothing gets past this guy!

How many of these suits are legit, and how many are climbing on the bandwagon because it's there?

The testimony of the first masseuse was that Watkins made overtures regarding where he wanted her to massage him, heh-heh, and she didn't comply, but hung around while he requested it again. And again. Why didn't she just leave? If she stayed in the room because she didn't want to lose the fee and maybe plane fare back to her home, then it's kind of shitty to come back at him later with a sex lawsuit.

Meanwhile, I think Deshaun had better pursue a different profession, cuz his football goose is cooked. If he deserves it for being a disgusting pig, I got no problem. But if he's being railroaded unfairly, that just bites.

Talent

That is talent

Nice
