Honestly I think she'll be more effective in other mediums. I'm not a fan of hers, or her particular sensationalist, black and white morality method, but I do agree with a lot of the topics she tackles. I don't wish ill on her though, and I hope this new course in her life works out well for her.

So do you play as famine or palgue?

They call her the rider of the black horse, so she would be Famine. However, I think they're using the alternative version, in which case she would be Strife or Fury. Famine is often changed up for some reason *shrug*

A member of a religion called Wicca. It's based in pagan beliefs and is a pretty chill religion overall. Some Wiccans refer to themselves as witches or witch practitioners but nothing they do is really any wierder than what any religious person does.

She won't try and convert you or do anything wierd, so don't worry about that.

That said, this goes out the window if she's a Wiccan for the sake of being edgy. Then expect hours of talk about rituals and how she has a book bound in human skin (even though in Wicca doing harm to other people is literally the only sin).


For the record, not wiccan myself, just someone who likes to learn about different religions.

Juries are fucking waste of time. There's already a judge.

Please tell me you're joking.

why would I want a bunch of random nobodies make important legal decisions when there's a fucking trained, experienced professional sitting right next to them?

Well then that's your choice. You know you can forgo your right to a jury trial whenever you want, right?

However, I'll take my chances with the group where at least half of them have been hand-picked to be able to emphasize with me.

On a less cynical note, the reason we use juries is because they're nobodies. The jury system is the public position within the judicial branch. Judges aren't elected, nor should they be, so it's pretty much the only representation of the common man.

Furthermore, judges can and have been bribed, or received kickbacks for everyone they throw in prison. That's FAR less likely to happen with a Jury, so for the kid who's face life because a cop entrapped him, a jury trial is their only real chance of not losing everything.

I like yaoi because it is a fantasy world in which homosexuality is fully normalized and accepted. It makes me forget how shitty the real world is.

And a lot of people criticize yaoi for this and say it ignores the hardships gay people face. The thing is, I dont want to see that in my entertainment. I am reminded of the hardships gay people face on a daily basis. I like being able to escape for 20-30 mins a day.

I criticize it because it fetishises homosexuality so middle-aged japanese women can masturbate to it, thereby reinforcing stereotypes about gay men, good and bad. Notice how most yaois are borderline rape?

Yaoi is definitely not perfect (far from it), but it ultimately paints a positive view of homosexuality and does more good than bad.

It paints a view of homosexuality as we're all perverts, who coerce each other into sex under dubious conditions.Yeah, a totally positive portrayal.

Oh these motherfuckers. I wish I knew where they lived so I could get CPS on their asses.

Yeah, this is pretty much all there is to Ouran. You are overthinking it.

You've never watched Ouran have you? Or, rather, you've never watched Ouran and compared it to other reverse harems.

Ouran is a parody of the reverse Harem genre, that's why it was so hilarious. No one watched it for the romance, we watched it because it was funny as fuck.

You don't know how impeachment works, right? It's a court case. They have to build their case,t hen present it to congress. The house (which is trumps' bitch, if you didn't know) then has to initiate the impeachment, then Trump essentially goes to court before the Senate and can plead his case. If they don't have an airtight, indestructible case, the Senate, being controlled by Trump's other bitches, is gonna throw it out.

so, do you know how clinton got impeached?

he got impeached simply for lying about fucking some chick.

not because he was actually fucking her, but because he lied and said he wasn't.

that's the set precedent for impeachment.

that means that, pretty much anything involving trump with russia would end up with his impeachment.

and oh look, exactly nothing has happened. if the FBI actually had anything it would be enough.

fun fact: andrew johnson was impeached because he fired someone.

Oh dear lord you're an idiot.

Clinton was impeached because he perjured himself. Illegal.

Johnson was impeached because he was removing the power of Congress. Unconstitutional.

And once again, Congress has to initiate the impeachment, AND THE REPUBLICANS ARE NOT GOING TO KICK HIM OUT OF OFFICE UNLESS THEY HAVE NO OTHER OPTION.

Trump thinks this'll make the investigation into his treason go bye-bye (it won't)

he's been being investigated since he announced he was running

and there still hasn't been anything found

i wonder why, probably because there's nothing to find, maybe?

no, that makes too much sense.

Or it could be because the investigation is still ongoing, and they aren;t going to announce things until it's finished.

And for the record, the FBI outright said they had found evidence. Don;t keep up much do you?

if they found literally anything it would be done and over with.

So no, they absolutely haven't found anything.

also the fact that the FBI wouldn't say they had anything until they actually brought it forth in court.

Meanwhile, Congress is running its own investigation into it, but it's being run by another one of Trump's bitches, so I doubt that'll turn anything up.

Believe it or not, Republicans do not care if Trump is committing treason, so long as they get what they want. Unless the FBI comes up with something they can;t just ignore, nothing is gonna happen, and nothing will be publicly released.

Lets not conflate this one with the first, alright?

The first one was a terrorist attack, this one is some son of a bitch who went to his SO's workplace, shot her, her coworker, and two of her students before taking his own life like the little bitch he is.

I thought the first one was also some disgruntled college student who couldn't get any girls to like him?

They sound fairly similar

What? I think OP was referring to this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_San_Bernardino_attack

There was a UCLA attack that fits your description but now I'm annoyed that you think UCLA in in San Bernardino.

It's a prediction for the future based on what I already know.

The alternative is trump actually starting a fight with Russia.

How this'll probably play out is Trump and his lover Putin withh keep talking up armed conflict, then at the "last minute" come to an agreement they decided on months ago which will benefit Russia more than anyone else. The Trump and Putin become Messiahs who averted nuclear conflict, and Trump thinks this'll make the investigation into his treason go bye-bye (it won't) and make his base love him again (if T_D was anything to go by last night, it won't).

Um... yes they did. Assad has been attacking his own people with all manner of illegal weapons for years. Where the fuck have you been for almost the past decade?

not caring is where i've been tbh

besides that, russia is the ones who were supposed to be preventing this kind of things from happening. they failed. in 2013 syra was ordered to surrender any and all chemical weapons to russia.

moreover, the UN pretty much ignored the fact that they used sarin nerve gas, which, again, is illegal to use. like everywhere.

So instead of doing the, I don;t know, SANE thing, like looking for a diplomatic solution before going to fullscale war, we just go from 0 to Iraq War 2.0?

You're right, they weren't all shot at ISIS, but they were all shot at terrorist cells. We have never attacked the Syrian government directly before now.

Actually, yes, he did, by precedent. Congress had already approved acts of aggression against the terrorist organizations targetted

yep. that's exactly why everyone bitched that he wasn't getting approval before okaying drone strikes.

Those people were right-ish. It's a very gray area, but he managed to remain juuuust on the legal side of things. Honestly, do you really think if Obama violated the constitution the republicans wouldn;t have jumped on the chance to impeach him? Not defending Obama for using it, but to say he did something illegal isn't technically accurate. Plus, to get congressional approval we would have to declare war, which would require acknowledging ISIS as a sovereign nation. No one wants that. Well, except ISIS.

We dropped over 12k missiles on Syria last year.

This is nothing new, so idk why people are so scared now.

The missiles we dropped before weren't 57 motherfucking tomahawks at once, aimed at a military instilation of a government we weren't even (technically) at war with. The missile strikes last year were targeted primarily at ISIS.

Furthermore, he did it without congressional approval, and he announced it after he did it. These are things a dictator does.

them being tomahawks doesn't really matter. they all do the same thing: indiscriminately explode.

them being targeted primarily at isis doesn't mean all were, and they were still shot at syria.

furthermore, obama did them without congressional approval as well. don't cherry pick, call obama a dictator too.

I don;t think you have a great grasp on modern weapons.

The fact that they were tomohawks does matter. Certain types of missiles are, in fact, easier to direct where they will wind up exploding, as well as containing the destruction to what you want exploded. Tomahawks are for when you don;t care what blows up, you just want to blow shit up. Plus, while it is not as important, Tomohawks are LUDICROUSLY expensive. That's why we don't use them very often.

You're right, they weren't all shot at ISIS, but they were all shot at terrorist cells. We have never attacked the Syrian government directly before now.

Actually, yes, he did, by precedent. Congress had already approved acts of aggression against the terrorist organizations targetted. They have never approved attacks on the Syrian government because attacking Assad directly is just asking for WWIII.

Ya, democratically elected dictator

You realize a LOT of dictators start out democratically elected, right? Adolf Hitler, Robert Mugabe, and Ferdinand Marcos were all democratically elected, and not in sham elections either. The majority of their countries made the decision to vote for them (ironically the biggest difference between their rise to power and Trump's).

How someone comes into power does not have any bearing on whether or not they will be a dictator. I'm pretty certain Germans said that Hitler wasn;t a dictator because he was democratically elected as well, right before giving a Sieg Heil.

The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network defines sexual assault as "unwanted sexual contact that stops short of rape or attempted rape. This includes sexual touching and fondling." Sexual assault takes many forms including attacks such as rape or attempted rape, as well as any unwanted sexual contact or threats.
Sexual assault - Wikipedia

You just agreed with me... and really, a wikipedia article? You know law codes are public information, right?

That's not what i read at all they're just calling it rape to make it seem less humiliating

Mr. Turner told the police that he and the victim kissed and then walked away from the fraternity house holding hands and ended up on the ground kissing. He removed the victim%u2019s underwear and penetrated her with his fingers. He said he never took his own pants off.

he was pretending to have sex with her while sticking objects from the dumpster in her
THAT'S why he got off so light

He lied, you twit. That's what people who know they've got a noose around their neck do, they lie.

Who are you gonna believe, the two witnesses, Carl-Fredrik Arndt and Peter Jonsson, who both testified against him, or the person who was on trial and is gonna say whatever it takes to save his spoiled little ass. This was as open and shut as rape cases get.

And once again, STICKING THINGS IN AN UNCONCIOUS WOMAN IS RAPE. Or at least it is as good as rape.

What he was convicted for, unanimously by a jury, were three felony charges: 1) assault with intent to commit rape of an intoxicated or unconscious person, 2) sexual penetration of an intoxicated person and 3) sexual penetration of an unconscious person.

no he found an empty water bottle and ******, someone saw him behind the dumpster and alerted security
she said she had abrasions the next day\

everyone on social media said he was a rapist

there's biblical rape and then there's foreplay

A little research goes a long way bucko. Two men saw him raping her, grabbed him before he could run away (well actually they tackled his filthy ass and held him to the ground), then called the police.
