Deteriorata posted:Sorry, my misunderstanding. Others have cried doxxing over the picture of her at 14, which is in the article. Her name and identity are public info now and anybody can look up anything they want about her, so I'm not sure how much doxxing is going on anyway. Generally people consider posting someone's home address or workplace online doxxing even if that person's name was already public knowledge.

Even if the statute of limitations was 3 years, wouldn't it have started when she turned 18 in 1983, extending in to 1986, which would be picked up retroactively by the amendment?

I'd have thought the Democrats would go balls to the wall on this one; it's like a 1-in-a-century opportunity. If they lose, they lose but may as well go whole hog.

I’m really bothered by Jordan Peterson’s suggestion that the decline in traditional marriage is responsible for a rise in sexual assault. Besides being completely pulled out of thin air, what is he suggesting the link here is? If women were more clearly marked as property of other men, there would be fewer assaults?

Thaddius the Large posted:This is super weird to me, who the hell are the 16% of respondents that want a republican, but feel Jones is more representative of their beliefs than Strange? This is a foreign concept in today's political environment but historically political coalitions were a lot looser ideologically and it wasn't unusual to occasionally find yourself preferring the other party's guy. A lot of voters are still stuck in that mindset, particularly older voters, meaning generally Republicans. A portion of that 16% is probably also Republican voters who are so embarrassed by their local party they don't want anything to do with it, or at least are willing to pretend they don't for the sake of a survey.

Probably the ones who know that Strange won't win a write-in campaign and already hated Moore. Or they hate the GOP for trying to get rid of Obamacare. I dunno, they don't explain it any deeper than that.

I don't know the intricacies of the Alabama legal system at all, I'm just saying all the press reporting is saying the statute of limitations has expired. I'm assuming someone called an Alabama criminal attorney and asked.

That would make Trump's victory look respectable. he allegedly diddled kids. you and i and millions of other americans accept these allegations at face value because we have no reason to disbelieve his accusers and because his behavior seems plausible. but there's enough space there for people to dismiss these allegations, because he hasn't been (and won't be) convicted before the election just remember that if he gets elected, the people of alabama didn't elect a child predator, they elected an alleged child predator, which is still bad enough while being accurate

I remember them spending 10s of millions on their lovely website, and everyone was trying to figure out where that money was actually going. It was around the RNC, so we had other things on our plate, but I remember that being really loving weird at the time

Shimrra Jamaane posted:Unless your brother was in circles with Wilt Chamberlin I suspect he may be exaggerating. Yeah my brother's a turbonerd. Not him, his friends. I've gotten the numbers from different people over multiple conversations over different years, in contexts where they'd have no incentive to lie or exaggerate. Basically they got that estimate by doing the math of "Well, I went out the bars almost every night for three to five years in the seventies, every night I hooked up with a different random person, 360 x 5 == lots".

I'm pretty sure our parents did a hell of a lot more drugs than we do as well. My mom's a nice middle aged lady who occasionally just drops a story about her old cocaine dealer or the little weed garden she used to have, and I'm pretty sure my dad did everything under the sun

A friend of mine's college roommate that I used to play D&D with long ago is one of those nutball "I vote republican!" types. He's pro choice, pro gun control, pro immigration, pretty much across the board about as not republican as it gets, but "His dad voted republican, and he will too!" Something like this might convince him to not vote, but it'd be a cold day in hell before he voted for the D.
