FEMA cuts, MAGA cries: the hypocrisy hits home
Big Blitz replied to Homelander's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Omg you’re arguing with AI on a situation that just happened. Separately, while DOGE cuts impaired NOAA broadly, NWS warnings for this flood were timely per experts (CNN, WIRED). No direct link to deaths; the event's rapidity was key. Facts evolve with sources. It still knew that tho. You’re a freaking loser. -
Maxwell Hairston named in civil lawsuit for sexual assault
Avisan replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
I just want to say that I definitely experienced the squickiness of the language pertaining to his actions. That said... I think it's an unpleasant but genuine reality. Statistically, a huge chunk of men commit at least one sexual assault in their lives and will admit to behaviors that qualify as sexual assault as long as you don't refer to it as sexual assault. The statistical range is roughly 1/5 to 1/3 of college males. Paradoxically, young men that have lots of consensual sex are actually more likely to commit sexual assault because they are more likely to find themselves in scenarios where they expect/anticipate sex based on prior experiences, which leads to them either not noticing or ignoring cues of uncertainty or non-consent from someone they want to have sex with. It's very likely that a large number of current Bills have committed acts that could be accurately described as sexual assault from the perspective of the other party, and most of those dudes are likely not even aware of it. While it's at lower rates than men, women do it, too. I am far from god's gift to sex appeal, and I had two different situations in college where women tried to take advantage of the fact that I was inebriated. They didn't mean harm, they were just trying to get laid, but if I were not a 6' dude that felt comfortable just waiting for a moment to physically get away it could have been a very unpleasant situation. At least two of my male friends that I know of also had close calls, including one where a girl was very clearly deliberately taking advantage of his inebriation and inexperience to try to keep him from leaving, and he ultimately had to be bailed out by friends who realized something was wrong. At least one male friend that I know of was successfully assaulted by a woman in college. It's an unfortunate element of human behavior that is very prevalent. We have a daughter, a son, and another daughter on the way. They're young, and we're doing our best to help them understand consent and boundaries both for themselves and others from the get-go. Honestly, it's rough going, and we're going to have to work our butts off to get it to stick. Not everybody innately understands the potential harm in what they want, even when it's harmful, which is why it's so important to consistently hammer this stuff home. Things that seem like they should be obvious aren't always obvious to otherwise decent, well-intentioned people, and sometimes otherwise decent, well-intentioned people commit sexual assault to get their perceived needs met. It's why it's such a tough problem to solve, and why people struggle with it so much. We want to believe that only monstrous people are capable of committing sexual assault, but sometimes it's normal, everyday folks, including the sweet, empathetic elementary education grad student that has always wanted to work with kids, posted a ton about her own genuine experiences during the height of #metoo... and also tried to prevent a drunk dude with a girlfriend from leaving her hotel room at the end of a group get-together when she was feeling lonely and horny as a college undergrad. -

Trauma dumping never helped anyone. I also think she made it up, that's my opinion. If she didn't, I'll be the first to apologize -

I did no such thing. I made zero assumptions. In fact, I did the opposite. I stated the facts, which are that we do not know what happened, if anything. In fact, you made assumptions by saying you know what this girl is going through and how she feels. Well, you simply don't, because you don't know if she was assaulted by Hairston or not. You don't know if she is being sincere or not. None of us know anything, so assumptions should not be made either way. If he is guilty, he should go to jail and never play a down in the NFL (which won't happen because this is a civil case, but still). But we don't know if he is or isn't. -
@Gugny @SinceThe70s @ExWNYer Had on WFAN this morning. Listened to lots of unhappy Yankees fans calling in. Especially with Boone. I think this was a point Gugny has made over the years but the Yankees aren't ever winning a World Series with him as manger. A seemingly decent guy but not a championship type manager. The rivalry between the Yanks/Mets to me isn't really that big a thing anymore. I looked at the series as more important to the Mets as getting back on winning track vs NYC bragging rights. In the past I admit I wouldn't have saw the series like that. No biggie on today's game. The Yankees really needed it more than the Mets to win. I liked that Mendoza got thrown out there at the end. I'm a fan of managers making scenes like that every now and then if they feel they're being screwed over. So be it it's not like every day. Then the outbursts lose their meaning.

perfect. CONCUR -
Give the guy a chance to defend himself, that’s all I ask. A good judge will not make a judgement until he sees all of the facts. Buffalo knew about all of these accusations before we drafted him. Beane says that they feel good about him and that they would vouch for his character. This guy is set to make millions, if you know what I mean. And I will say this, if she is lying, I hope Hairston counter sues her into oblivion..

That's not what I did at all. In what way did I talk smack or say females are evil?
