In the US, of 100 rapes against girls and women reported to the police, 18 will be prosecuted.
Jeffery Epstein and his cohort abused hundreds of girls, and all anybody cares about is what powerful man might be embarrassed. Has anyone proposed or suggested anything to protect girls from rich perverts?
From the founding till 1951, raping your wife was legal in all 48 states. And that protection extended in several states beyond the federal change. Some states even made common-law husbands immune.
The Christian Bible considers rape to be a property crime. in conservative circles, girls as young as 12 are regularly married off to their rapist.
The leading cause of death for pregnant people in the US is homicide.
I think young women considering men to be a threat is pretty rational.
An (American) football team my family follows used to have a coach that got so upset over plays and calls that he would advance onto the field gesticulating and screaming, causing the team to get penalties.
Did they council this guy to control himself? No. They got someone on staff to physically restrain him when he lost his mind. Like the kid's only job was to grab the coach by the belt-loops and keep him off the field.
I love this story because it's about a masculine man engaging in a masculine activity who cannot be expected to control his own hysterics. I keep it in my back pocket for when the "men are stoic, women are emotional" BS comes up.
Play it just like soccer. Ref's calls are final, and the clock doesn't stop unless their is an injury.
It would make the game much more fun to watch, cut the runtime by two thirds, and force teams to hire athletes who can maintain vigorous activity for half an hour without dying.
What's the deal with people hating on astrology? DAE get the vibe that there's more to this than "astrology doesn't work"?
The thing is that even in the James Randy world of people taking advantage of the credulous, astrology is still a pretty small fish. The skeptic doth protest too much.
Domestic GPS is plenty accurate to use in weapons. It must be accurate to <1M to be useful for navigation. If google maps can find your iphone in your house a missile can too.
I suspect that the Government has plans to make the signal less accurate or even turn it off in the case of an emergency.
GPS is also trivial to jam or spoof since the signals are weak anyway. In Ukraine the EW space is so flooded that they use wired drones, and old rockets with inertial navigation are popular.
Crush patriarchy. That's the system that's failed these men after all. It wasn't progressive values that promised them women to dispose of. It wasn't feminism that promised them easy success and automatic status.
It's the promise of patriarchy that has "been stolen from us". And it's the restoration of patriarchy these men are clamoring for. Men want their privilege back and the Left can accommodate them for the low low price of jettisoning feminist values from the movement.
This is really the most Democrat bullshit ever. Left politics is getting more support than ever, but we're going to get obsessed with pleasing the groups that hate and oppose us instead of championing the issues of those who support us.
Spaces like 8cun and kiwifarms are very welcoming to regular type dudes with centrist politics and mainstream opinions. They're not nasty, unreasonable, and deranged like us. They'll never challenge a man who identifies as normal.
I'm rocking a GTX 1660 and have no plans to upgrade. Ray-tracing is a scam and all the "AAA" titles that are too vram hungry for my card are not that attractive anyway.
Psensor is a graphical widget on top of lm_sensors that's shows constantly updated temp/fan/usage info. It's similar to HWMonitor on Windows.
