Weird that the cop said he didn't threaten the officers, though (rather surprising the lack of BS in that statement - is there video around of it ?). Ah well, I'm sure the cop will be upset or something

Old joke, but Schafer really should have put a Project Manager as a stretch goal.

Still plodding on in WoW, healing people in dungeons is fun. Got a crappy group for one but we soldiered through it, remarkable lack of bile in it - but we are all new so it's not that big a deal. Also as a healer my queue times are a joke, so I can easily laugh at the other party members if they do get uppity - they need me, but I don't need them.

Shame the cop didn't die in the accident though, I guess he wore a seatbelt (another hero here died last year while speeding on a wet road and no belt on). Rather surprising the way police investigate themselves in Quebec, not even a token agency like the SIU we have in Ontario.

Eh, just an email. Though if it were the right kind of victim, I suppose there'd be hell to pay.

Oh no, not bashing police! Doubt it'll quiet down after PoE comes and goes, most of the chaff so to speak already did that when the campaign ended. Most are probably sticking to the PE specific forums - heck it might even get worse when they wander out of there.

Man I wish Eve was really that instead of what it is. Well I think it is like that, need to hook up with a major alliance to get some of that thrill with larger scale pvp. Even small gang ganking can get tense. I should go back and try to become a trader

Wrong That *.gif is rather well done.

CCP's creative with trailers.

Well, people should have a really good reason why they want to put your DNA in a database, rather than asking me for reasons they shouldn't. Saying it'll make police work easier isn't all that good of one to me. Risks of having a government agency with your DNA on file might be alarmist, thinking of possible negatives (some loon deciding eugenics is a great idea again, for example).

We could also monitor everyone in and outside of their home. Implanting gps would be nice and lets not forget a kill switch. All problems solved. I understand the extreme you are going to but why would your DNA being on file be an invasion of your privacy? I've heard people concerned it can be used to frame people, though that might be tricky. Not sure myself but I think it a better policy to ask "why do you want to know?" rather than "why don't you want me to know?"

I imagine it is any sexual act without clear-minded consent.

Yep, you're still a ****, but I guess you had to get that with your studies. For non-science stuff like this, it can be a bit irritating to look up what a term is supposed mean as that doesn't always mesh with what the person speaking means, anyway. Not sure how the "culture" part fits into it, the term really seems improper when it can directly reference perception more than anything.

He was not alpha male enough for this board.

Well, battling it out with other strangers online is more stimulating than pictures of women. Now if it were actual women, then no, but alas we have but photos.

I've seen that plenty of times, easiest to pluck, here in TO, would crime in the black community. While not saying that they are right or wrong, people get testy when someone approaches it in a way of the culture present there or something else. Perhaps it is a poor term chosen by whomever came up with this, on the first encounter with it one could be forgiven for thinking it means the culture is one permissive of rape and when someone says you are part of that it comes across as "You like rape!" which then leads to hackles up.

Yes, I've seen all of that before, but thanks for the sermon. When I think of rape I recall my Calc B exam, myself, not necessarily savage monsters jumping people in the dark. I did laugh at the last example though, it's rape culture to see women and not think about them being raped, but I still got the underlying point. Hm, have to imagine most people think of violent crimes in dramatic ways barring any experience indirectly with it in their lives and more unpleasant than the average offense. Wil have to ask around but in the past people's idea of murder has been a violent attack or robbery rather than getting hit by missed shots or your husband, or something.

Indeed, my home country is competing with Jamaica for most violent place in the Caribeean (excl. Haiti) so I am not throwing stones seriously. Some of them said they didn't want to speak up as he was famous and they'd be a backlash, etc. against them due to suspicion of blackmail (though, without proof it's a bit BS to label him a rapist), also wealth usually helps a lot with any court case that does come up (better lawyers for one).

Talking about Dark Heresy games while waiting for an elevator with strangers in earshot is perhaps not the best idea. Though I guess telling a tale of us torturing some elderly couple and then shooting their mutant baby with a shotgun was not the best idea (we were talking about cases when you make the DM give a "WTF" expression)

I did read the article and the concept of "rape culture" isn't all that new to me, though I suppose mainly interpretations varying in zealotry of the speaker/writer, heh. Will have to find a widely accepted version of what it is, beyond people having improper (the frame of reference is the varying part, naturally) attitudes towards the crime and victims.

You need to have wasted your time with a gender studies course, TrashMan. Get with it. Hey, could be a rape capital like SA

Probably because you're **** as always ? My comment was more on the discussion that followed the article, as I didn't quote Bruce's post, shirty. Large part of the reason these women, at least the ones I've read, waited so long was more due to Cosby's fame and wealth than some concept. Also, shouldn't there be a trigger warning on this article ?

As usual, I have the worst luck in loot. Slowly grinding my way up to the uber castle, think it's about 2-3 days away. The 10th anniversary is starting, along with the revamped MC. Got a laugh out of the fact they made the window behind Golemagg take you to Rag
