...don't we all? It's one thing to support basic human decency without going out of your way to defend a clearly predatory industry or person, as she did. As the lack of oversight here allowed this individual to rape 300 people.
It's not that. She supported Gerard Depardeau. It was a controversy about sexual assault in the French film industry. There's a bunch of articles covering it.
I'm 40, and that was the first time I used it, so¯(ツ)/¯
Slides aren't registered. Just buy a new one, use that for the crime, and chuck it in the river. Replace it with the original, so the wear matches. Hell, a whole new slide is only a few hundred bucks.
I'm sure Brigitte Bardot will be along shortly to protest the injustice...of a sex criminal suffering the consequences of their actions.
Oh no shit? I've been doing it wrong this whole time, thanks for letting me know. My neighborhood just got a lot safer.
That's what I'm assuming as well, but the article didn't really elaborate, and I just tried to sum it up with the facts provided.
I'm ex-military as well, though. If someone raped me, and the justice system didn't do anything about it, I see the thought crossing my mind. That's exactly the way I'd do it, too.
"Oh my god, I had it all wrong, I just wanted to apologize! I know I was drunk/asking for it/didn't say no. I spent a lot of time out in nature to come to that conclusion. It would really help me if you'd walk with me up this trail I know, so I can have closure." something along those lines. Then BLAM. No struggle, it took three days to find his body.
Should have ditched the barrel of that pistol, and I'll bet she'd have gotten a lot less time.
After reading the article, you'd be correct.
Based on the mediocre article, she accused this dude of rape in 2017. Nobody did anything, so she continued on with her life (Pornin', I suppose) and in 2021 she cold walked this dude out into the forest after spending the night with him (no idea what happened) and shot him in the back of the head.
Then the guys mother tried to find out who did it, shot some innocent woman, and then killed herself when caught by the police. Real shit show, but nothing really to do with either of her careers.
Well, except you really shouldn't try to rape someone that's ex-military, cuz they'll walk you out into the forest and blow your brains out, at least occasionally.
I think that was actually the point of that movie. Like the only time he actually tries to do any detective work, it turns out to just be a sketch of a dude with a comically large boner.
I kinda thought the disjointed nature was part of it, sending him through different social strata. Maybe I've watched it too many times while zooted, idk.
Same. I mean, it wasn't a bad movie, but I didn't walk out of the movie theater and think about it a lot after, either. Even though it's supposed to be a movie you think about. I like all sorts of foreign films, so it's not that.
You asked for sources, I them to you, lmao. Also, I don't give a shit about Japan. I live in the US, which is why we've been talking about the US. Did you hit your head recently?
Well, as long as it's not ridiculously contagious, we can have a little measles in our religious enclaves.
This is from Wikipedia, but the only other instances I could find were clearly biased sources, like the Cato.

There's actually a few that do break almost even, I didn't think any did.
As to what your point is, I have no idea, and don't care. My initial comment pointed out that conflating public transport with the tax sources for roads isn't the ven close. I was correct, as pointed to your sources, and now my own.
Those numbers absolutely don't back your point. Most of those states provide greater than 50% of the revenue for their roads from local sources, whereas public transport is less than 50% in most cases. None of them get close to funding themselves.
Road maintenance is funded by the people that use them, in the form of tolls, registrations, and gas taxes. Public transport is mostly taxpayers that don't use it, subsidized by riders. That's a massive difference.
Like the great warrior philosopher Wesley Snipes once said, "Some motherfuckers are always trying to ice skate uphill."
I was a big fan as a child, but I haven't re-read them in about 15 years or so, since Sanderson finished it. Whenever that was.
It's not at all well paced. That's some fandom cope if I've ever heard it, good lord.
I can tell you 100% that I don't plan on reading it again. It's not worth it.
The author's story was also pretty terrible. I re-read it again last year, and man does it drag. You could most likely cut it in half and make a better series.
Hilarious, considering that Harvard didn't even admit Americans for the first 140 years it existed.
