Hmm. Consent during an altered mind state can definitely be a form of coercion. It is very tricky.

Because enough ruling dudes literally, publicly said it was going too far because now a drunk girl could claim she didn’t remember most of the previous night and was raped.
And a bunch of other dudes said they had sex with a drunk girl who later said she never wanted it. All these dudes knew they wouldn’t be having sex if the girls had to be conscious and aware.
And so now a bunch of dudes were afraid their continued sex with a drunk girl was going to get them arrested. So they stopped the harder rape laws.
True story.

That’s how the state of Texas in the US ended all rape. The governor declared rape was illegal, even though it already was, and suddenly there is no more rape.
And that’s why Texas abortion prohibition doesn’t need an exclusion for rape, because the governor declared rape was illegal and now there is no more rape.
Texas Republicans are pretty magical like that.

I’m pretty sure each person has personally saved weeks of time by having the connector always work the first time, because of the reversibility of the plug.

Wow, Trump’s border wall sure had a lot of holes if this kept happening for 8 years, including 4 years of Trump rule.

I wonder if Russia will start to put back doors in military equipment they give out, so it can’t be used against Russia in the future.
Didn’t Ukraine start out defending themselves with a lot of Soviet military equipment?

Sucks for North Koreans to have their fellow citizens constantly disappear, no matter what the war is.
Did anyone ever find out of they started with the lower ranked soldier? Or the higher rank, more loyal soldiers that North Korea would prefer to keep?

Well, sometimes bad things happen to racist societies.
It seems that they are so anti-immigrant, that “immigration reforms would make it more difficult to attract high fee-paying international students.” Thus part of the reason for losing money to pay for programs.
Notice it’s journalism that would be cut. The one thing that would help dispel the misinformation campaigns that led to Brexit.
Also, taxing the ultra rich would help fund school programs.

Whoa. Interesting. Just the speakers probably aren’t expensive. But maybe try unplugging and replugging them before ordering new ones?

Yup. And I’m American and voted against fascists, but here we are, and the world has to now start defending itself from the US.
- BigMikeInAustin@lemmy.worldtoEurope@feddit.org•UK on verge of deal with EU to let Britons use European passport e-gatesEnglish233·26 days ago
Why do Britons want to visit countries of people they don’t want to live next to?
Yup. Russia does not plan to give up any occupied territory, return Crimea, or stop trying to expand.
The Russian rulers are not dealing with their own death on the battlefield. They can stay in their offices, comfortably, for years, while others die.
