Sean 'Diddy' Combs hit with a wave of 120 new sexual assault allegations
  • Precisely. Imagine someone doing something to you that you do not want, something that takes away your sense of autonomy, something that humiliates you. You know if you say something, some people will accuse YOU of doing something wrong, instead of your attacker. Now imagine that person has tons of money, and through that money tons of power. You know if you say anything about being attacked, it could hurt that person, and that person will use their money and power to make your life harder. You also know that even if everything goes best case scenario, it will be terribly hard, humiliating, and your personal life (and maybe some of your own behavior) will be out there for everyone to see. Then, think of all the ways it could be a worse outcome. I don't fault anyone for not coming forward. If I were a target for this behavior, I'd like to think that I would fight, but who knows what I would actually do. I hope I never have to find out.

  • Some things never change
  • It does beg the question of whether you could intentionally do it. Scotty was very limited by the technology available to him, but the later versions of the Enterprise might have been able. It's interesting to think about. All of that said, I think you support your position very well and I appreciate the thoughtful response!

  • Threw a wrestling watch party, made special food, and was very disappointed in the outcome.
  • Two things:

    • Did your friends know you were going to have a bunch of food and they were expected to eat it?
    • Was your party at a time that people normally eat?

    I find that if it's too early/late or if you didn't tell them what was expected, your results are suboptimal. Could just be your friends, though.

  • And if you are registered, a great day to verify.

    Someone from my family was just purged due to unverifiable address. Of course, they mailed her a notification of this, and she hasn't moved since the last presidential election, and has voted since. Oh, and she's registered as a Democrat in a Republican -led state.

  • Playing a dangerous game
  • When I discovered his original 3 stand-up specials on Netflix, I watched them with full attention. After that I watched them when I went to bed. Watch until I fell asleep (usually within 5 minutes). The next day pick up where I last remembered and did it again. I rotated through them at bedtime for months. Gotta have something entertaining, but not actively engaging so I can fall asleep to it. Comedy specials the 2nd or 3rd time through work for this. No surprises means I don't miss anything by falling asleep.

  • Trump's 'body odor' leaves people 'gagging' as Republican says 'you need a mask'
  • It is dumb, and not the reason anyone should not vote for him. That said, someone who foreign leaders don't want to be in a room with could present a problem.

    I hope this article doesn't convince people, but instead they are convinced by the many, many others showing he is criminal and selfish. It is somewhat satisfying to have someone you really dislike have other undesirable qualities.
