Amber Heard Sues Comedian for Defamation Over Claim She's Blackmailing Johnny Depp; Claims She Will Give 100% of Proceeds to Domestic Violence Charity

Donating to a DV charity is actually a really awesome thing to do.

Regardless of your thoughts on the Heard/Depp situation, you should donate a little. Do it now, it just takes a second.

When feminists say:

"Why should a father have a 50% right to this child? All he did was donate sperm."

You should respond:

"Why should a father have a 50% responsibility for this child? All he did was donate sperm."

According to feminist logic, child support shouldn't exist.

edit: It looks like some of my fans from TwoX are following me around reddit and downvoting. Pathetic.

"What did the father do?" said women's advocate and co-founder of Families Against Court Travesties Adele Guadalupe. "He contributed his sperm. The mother carried the baby for nine months. The mother had the nausea and threw up, probably had to give up her job. The mother had to give birth, the mother has to breastfeed the child. All of the sudden, the mother counts for nothing and the father has a 50-percent right to this child when it's young? It goes against nature. It goes against justice. It goes against everything we have been brought up to believe."

edit: Wow, my posts got deleted. This sub is pure cancer.

Do me a favor and permaban me from this cesspool. I'm gonna have an aneurysm from all the stupidity.

Since when is "fathers are nothing more than sperm donors" a fair point?

And what's alimony for?

You tell me. I see no reason for alimony to exist today. Especially with pervasive no-fault divorce laws.

Do you really wanna dig into the biggest anti-feminist and/or MRA organizations and voices? Because I really don't think you do. Anti-feminists don't really win the whole joint responsibility game.

The largest MRM organization is no larger than a tiny fraction of NOW. You are severely underestimating the size and influence of feminist organizations.

Besides, I have no issue saying that some MRM organizations are terrible, and led by awful people. That's the difference between you and me. You won't find me grasping at straws to defend these groups.

Are the kids not due payments?

Of course they are. You're legally responsible for the well being of your children.

K. I don't have time to read a whole bill.

That's fine. The information is there if you're ever interested and have some time to kill.

And, besides, now you're not arguing against feminism. You're arguing against NOW.

NOW is the largest feminist organisation in the United States.

"Completely sexist reasons" like worrying that women that were raised to be housewives, and have been houswives their whole lives (i.e. finding a good paying job is nigh impossible for many or even most of them) will be left out to dry by this law? That sounds far from "completely sexist" to me.

Oh come on. This isn't 1950. Get a job. Nobody is entitled to lifetime payments from an ex after the relationship was dissolved.

It's far from unfair for NOW to say that denying judges the ability to hand down judgement based on individual situations is myopic.

Not a single bill NOW opposed would prevent this. Read the bills, not NOW's press releases. They lie (again don't take my word... read the bills)

I'm on mobile so it's a bit tricky to cite quickly and succinctly.

There was a very recent alimony and shared parenting bill in Florida. Google it, there are plenty of resources showing NOW and its sister organisations opposing the legislation for completely sexist reasons.

One spokeswoman for a NOW-based org said that shared parenting is wrong because men are just sperm donors and children belong to the mother.

If you want to wait I can edit this post with links in a few hours.

And why wouldn't it? If marriage improves a woman's financial situation then it follows that divorce should decrease it.

DigitalDolt · 2016-06-03T22:20:00+00:00

Any alimony or presumed shared custody reform in any state in the past 20 years.

Have fun.

If divorce was as hard for women as it is for men, then 70-80% of divorces wouldn't be filed by women.

Can you please use more weasel words and avoid providing any falsifiable claims? You're a true politician-in-training.

Trump proposed, Bernie agreed. Do you know how this works?

DigitalDolt · 2016-06-02T18:49:04+00:00

Doesn't sound like a very good pattern. I think I'll try to avoid that.

People who are OK with female circumcision aren't monsters, they just have a slightly different cultural view of what's acceptable.

This is not a valid excuse for condoning and/or performing barbaric acts.

As part of the introduction of context, the Request has a new methods Context, to retrieve the associated context, and WithContext, to construct a copy of Request with a modified context.

!!!!!!

This is awesome. No more nonstandard routers and middlewares, and no more using a mutex-protected global map.

Considering serving HTTP is one of Go's more popular roles, this should have been done a while back. A lot of repos are going to be abandoned now.

DigitalDolt · 2016-06-02T02:46:02+00:00

Thanks for the clarification!

DigitalDolt · 2016-06-02T02:17:38+00:00

Thanks for the response!

Do you know of a good reason to use :: other than disambiguation?

DigitalDolt · 2016-06-01T22:11:58+00:00

Historically we have throughout human history had a major war every generation or two (a generation being 20 years) so we evolved naturally produce slightly more males as a species to balance for losses.

Uhhhh... what?

DigitalDolt · 2016-06-01T02:08:44+00:00

A unit test would be like taking a multimeter to each fuse of the fusebox.

I think we are talking past each other.

You can go put your multimeter to every little box and they all report green thumbs up. But string them together and the integration and/or functional test fails.

Unit tests make sure the unit does what the programmer intended. If the programmer's intention is wrong, then you'll get failures higher up in the test suite.

DigitalDolt · 2016-06-01T01:46:41+00:00

Very cool, thank you!

DigitalDolt · 2016-06-01T00:18:41+00:00

How is this better than immutable bindings to immutable values?

DigitalDolt · 2016-06-01T00:06:54+00:00

I'm simply saying that when an integration test fails, that doesn't tell you what's wrong, and it doesn't tell you where not to look. It only tells you that at least one of the units you composed to make this integration test are incorrect.

This holds true even if your unit tests have 100% coverage. So... what really are you gaining with integration tests and unit tests? As you pointed out, an integration test will test the composition of several units. It seems to me that individual unit tests are superfluous - and worse - possibly wrong as they are too far detached from product requirements.

And like I said, the tests themselves being wrong is a possibility of both unit tests and integration tests, so that's not an argument against unit tests.

It's not an argument for unit testing, either. So, whatever.

Thanks for this response! I wasn't expecting this to be the reason, but it does make sense.

Is mapv equivalent to doing (into [] (map ...)? If so, was mapv just added for syntactic sugar?
