orange juche posted:So an ex-prostitute is a sex predator? wha? gtfo dude. You do know that prostitutes are on the victim side of the power dynamic right? Or are you one of those "dudes with money have a right to sex" idiots. Uhhh no dude. There’s nothing wrong with being a sex worker. There’s a lot wrong with seducing and drugging men to rob them, and then later claiming the men were aware and consenting.

My grandmother broke with (then-)longstanding family tradition and voted for Herbert Hoover in 1928. And then, none of her relatives or friends allowed her to forget it. Every single person in her life (me included) called her "Herbert" until her death in the Eighties. Like, for a long time I never realized that was not actually her name, or that "Herbert" was normally a male name. I think there needs to be a lot of people being called "Donald" for the rest of their lives.

Because you’re ignoring the part where she defended what she did by saying the men were “willing” and “aware” after she drugged them. quote:In her Instagram post, Cardi seems to acknowledge that the stories she talked about in the old video were true — although she also adds that the men in question “were men that I dated that I was involve with men that were conscious willing and aware.” It’s not entirely clear whether or not Cardi means to say that she did not actually drug anyone, or whether she’s saying that she did drug people — but only men she was romantically involved with. https://www.vox.com/culture/2019/3/27/18284220/cardi-b-drug-rob-controversy-scandal I’ll break it down for you Barney style. You can’t “willing” and “aware” if you’ve been drugged, and claiming so afterwards just shows how predatory she was and how she doesn’t own her past actions.

She didn't slip roofies in their drink at the club and then take their cash, she stole their money when they thought they were going to get some tail from a woman who was hard up for money to put food on the table and keep a roof over her head. When you're poor like that you do what you need to do to survive. They were willing and aware that they were gonna get some tail. What they got was an empty wallet and no tail. I mean, I'd love to see the police report for that, "I propositioned a stripper for sex in exchange for cash(which is illegal), and then when we went to the hotel room, she drugged my drink and stole my wallet!" Gotta say though, she's quite lucky she didn't get shot by a vengeful dude after he woke up. What she was doing was literally turning the table on them, because they thought that they would take advantage of her because she was a poor girl who was dancing for tips. orange juche fucked around with this message at 21:37 on Aug 17, 2020 |

You're technically correct but I definitely wouldn't call her a sexual predator for it. Using sex to take advantage of people is a world of difference from taking advantage of people for sex.

orange juche posted:Why doesn't the US move to metric and SI units for fucks sake. I want this so badly. Why do we have to use the worlds most convoluted measurement system that nobody else uses? Especially since if you’re a vet you get a taste of how simple it is to use. It’s multiplier is in the drat name at all times. Just move the decimal point. Highway speeds? 100km/hr City speed limits? 50km/hr Water’s Boiling point? 100C Water’s freezing point? 0C Small measurements? No loving fractions because we have millimeters. Also no 13/16 and 7/64 sockets or some poo poo. Dick measurements? Bigger numbers because it’s in centimeters Liquid? So simple you can properly mix a drink while drunk What’s the US alternative? How many feet are in that quarter mile? Idk better get google and a calculator ready How hot to get water to boil? 212F for some reason. Freezing temps? Partially positive partially negative because reasons. Is that socket bigger or smaller? Idk give me a sec to find a common denominator Dick measurements? A measly 6 instead of 15.24 even small dick measurements sound cool in metric. 4 inches is 10.16cm Liquid? How many ounces are in that gallon? Better hope it says it on the label. Also are those fluid oz or not? gently caress the US systems of measurements.

Anyone around 25 or older in Canada is used to a mix of both and as your northern neighbour About half of the Vancouver region uses a number-based naming system for streets running along cardinal directions where every 8 streets is one mile, and so if you're going from, say, 200th and 96th to 176th and 56th, you know you've gone about 8 miles. I think Seattle uses a similar system but it's every 16 streets is a mile.

Vincent Van Goatse posted:Finally got a haircut today after I think six months. Thanks to my COVID beard I was able to ask for the Ulysses S. Grant look. Honestly? Not really. Even going with trash-tier CW uniforms you're looking at something like $300 for coat, waistcoat, and trousers. That doesn't include hat and boots. The good news is that Grant tended to eschew the fancy uniforms appropriate to a man of his rank (a double-breasted frock coat with velvet collar and cuffs, two rows of nine buttons each in groups of three) in favor of a private's issue jacket with his rank on the shoulders. The man was pretty utilitarian where his appearance was concerned.

Grip it and rip it posted:What exactly are you describing here? Is this what you thought the Obama administration was? I mean that's what the Obama administration was, Democrats at the federal level trying to compromise with Republicans by abandoning progressive positions, and Republicans saying "gently caress you and the horse you rode in on" while dropping racist dogwhistles as well as drumming up support at the local level to take over state legislatures and governorships, gerrymander, and pack the circuit courts with conservative judges. Yes, that is precisely what I'm describing. Democrats need to capture enough seats that they can ignore the Republican members of congress, and ram through stuff that allows them to actually govern without fear of being held up by conservatives trying to block poo poo, i.e. getting rid of the legislative filibuster so that they can proceed with votes without needing 66 people in Congress to end the filibuster. Right now, Republicans are still able to control legislature as a minority party in the Senate by simply hopping up on the podium and reading Green Eggs and Ham, for as long as they want.

The one major quibble I have with your righteous anger is that the Democratic Party of 2009 isn't the Democratic Party of 2020. The 2009 Democrats were much, much more conservative than they are now. Pelosi had to absolutely slam the ACA through the House, and got it through 220–215, with THIRTY NINE Democrats voting against it. Her majority had a fuckton of those Blue Dog conservative Democrats at the time and they were adamant that they wanted Republican buy-in. I would argue that if that particular bill got more liberal, needing the death of the filibuster in the Senate, Pelosi would've lost too many members in the House to make any use of it. So it wasn't really 2009 Democrats abandoning progressive positions. They never had the progressive positions to begin with. Then their stupid Blue Dog weenie-ism led to their collective extinction in 2010 and onwards because BLACK MAN BAD. There's still a bit of Blue Dog-ism in the "Majority Makers" of the 2020 House Democrats, but their numbers are not even close to 2009 and they're way more liberal than the Blue Dogs were.

There's a lot of speculation that the pro sports leagues (that can't bubble) have insurance policies that pay out if the seasons shut down, but they need to at least run games to get the insurance payout when they shut down. One interesting thing is that there's apparently no central database that reports out schools' COVID cases state-by-state. That's why these numbers were suddenly a surprise to me: https://twitter.com/ashtonpittman/status/1295462052757221378 And the governor is all like HELL YEAH DIAL ME UP SOME COLLEGE FOOTBALL

The Obama admin folded from the get go because they just could not believe that the GOP would not work with them and they huffed their farts so loving hard that right until Trump was sworn in they thought that gently leaning on the levers of power would bring them to the table where they could all cut Social Security bipartisanly.

MrMojok posted:Never, ever forget this. They have known full well what Trump was, longer than the general public has. They knew what he was, when they voted to acquit. They knew the types of things he was likely to do, and they don't get to try and distance themselves from Trump now, or ever. After the Trump acquittal I was wondering if any of you history buffs could tell me... Did President Nixon give up too early? If he was impeached would Senate republicans protect him with the same blindness that Trump was protected? Even without the virus shutdown, it's surprising the Republicans would rather hang on to an unpredictable and in over his head president that will likely lose reelection, than find a way to get him out of the picture and put their faith in President Pence to not gently caress things up so stupidly and visibly.

Some of was bad timing; the impeachment trial ended at the beginning of February and COVID didn't hit the US hard until March. Most Republicans are more worried about getting primaried then the general election because of gerrymandering and impeachment would have definitely gotten them primary challenges.
