Is this the equivalent of the guy who always asks "what if we're both drunk?" during every sexual assault briefing?

The Atlantic seems to publish this same loving article every 9 months since the Rolling Stone article a few years back. It's such a weird pet peeve of theirs and they've wasted so much ink on centerist-conservative hand wringing, that I think it's their main draw for subscribers at this point.

Dalmatians also have a tendency to be a little bitey, but are every bit as trainable as a working dog as any labrador. Their temperment with children isn't great either. Also the deafness.

My great-uncle had one when I was a teenager. Wouldn't let you out of your car on his property if he didn't know you, but once approved, he'd love on you all day. Used to follow me when I rode the mower, then would follow me a half-mile down to a corner to see me off for the 2 mile drive on mower to cut my grandparents grass. He was a cool dog, only bit me once.

Did you guys actually read the article? She's pointing out how dumb it was that this idiot was able to run to the Title IX office and get that girl kicked out of school because the university operates on the assumption that whoever reports first is the victim.

The guy who has successfully sued a bunch of other universities over this stuff has taken up her case, and there's a recent circuit court ruling that tells universities to stop being dumb about this stuff.

Trump's legal team sent a 20 page memo to Mueller earlier this year outlining the president's defense against any obstruction charges. The tl:dr; is they focused on the wrong obstruction statute, basically concede that he's obstructing justice, and then try to say the president cannot by definition obstruct justice. Their legal authorities include

It's full of hail mary attempts and brazen slight of hand because there really is zero defense for any of his actions.

However congress is the only authority that can actually act. This means 51% of the house has to vote to impeach and 2/3 of the senate with John Roberts presiding as judge has to vote to convict. So nothing matters and he's going to continue to get away with it.

I think Roberts would vote to convict. Good luck getting 2/3 of the Senate to vote for it though.

I did, I was just commenting on the editorial board's inclination to publish title IX stuff. I don't have a problem with the content, just the publishing agency behind it. They ping pong on the issue between their staff, and the message gets turned into white tower academic nonsense instead of a pressing issue. (Execution of title IX protections, rather than the provisions of the ruling itself)

As an actual insult, not for at least a decade. The borderline (or not so borderline) emotional abuse that passes for affection between friends? Absolutely.

anecdotal, but its still very common amongst eastern european immigrants in america, as well as just eastern europe in general has some deeply rooted homophobia.

The last time I did this was probably 20 years ago when I did it in front of a gay family friend. Ive heard it a couple times past that but not in the last decade for sure.

I did read the article, but you only have to read the first paragraph to realize that using a single incident to answer the question "What the hell is happening on American college campuses?" is a silly idea.

Yes. His ex wife committed suicide after he admitted to raping her for years. He’s also stated he only got married to make victims. The real quote is substantially more hosed up.
