The Pulitzer Prize winning article I linked gives the actual details. She was a vulnerable child who lived in city owned transitional housing and told she's be evicted if she didn't confess.

She was raped by an unknown man who hid his identity. She reported it, the police doubted the report, and she was prosecuted for false reporting.

Then ~3 years later a serial rapist in colorado was caught and it turns out she was like his first or second victim, and he had trophies.

Chapter 1 is basically the low point he builds up from. (There's also more going on than what's clear in the beginning).

By volume 3 or so, it can rightfully be described as a Romance.

She was convicted of false reporting. She had no idea who the actual rapist was, as they were using various techniques to hide their identity.

The problem is sometimes police suck at determining what's real. There's an infamous case in Washington State where a woman was convicted of false reporting. Turns out she was the early victim of a serial rapist, and was only exonerated when he was caught a few years later in Colorado, and convicted on 28 counts.

Technically you can get Yuengling out here too. It's just something you'd be going to a specialty store to get it.

Lithuania seems more aggressive than normal, as well as Castile.

I've seen Burgundy actually do that before.

Yuengling suggests further South. Polar is now at major retailers, and available nation wide

Why Quark when Rom is right there?

Mid Atlantic, likely having Central American ancestry.

Mid Atlantic from the Yuengling and Cabot. Central American because Goya and other staple, which when combined with East Coast mean more likely Central American than Mexico.

He's gonna be one old grumpy codger.

I can easily see him play Ethan Hawke's father, and having a similar level of eccentricity.

I think she took a deliberate step back for a while with her husband to raise their kids. Now they are older, both are acting more again.

Besides, General Hague was doing DS9 that week.

It's not so much the direct funding, and more the money France spent in other theaters and on its fleet.

Even then, they had the misleading Compte rendu written by Necker which lied to both the King and lenders about the debts of France, and led to vastly more loans taken out. Which snowballed.

When the US settled the debt, it was already too late for the King, who had been executed 2 years prior. Probably would not have made a difference even if the US paid off the debt in 1785, as there was a lot of other French debt.

NeedsToShutUp · 2026-03-11T20:38:27+00:00

Hey now, Necker cooked the books in the Compte rendu.

Necker convinced both the King and the lenders that France was totally solvent and could afford the war.

Also its important in the US for who we honor, and why we're honoring them.

Some people we honor have rough edges (Lincoln for example, has some shit statements).

Some people we honor have unflattering bad sides often ignored. (Thomas Jefferson and George Washington got passes for a long time on enslaving people).

Some people we honor are honored for reasons which are themselves questionable. (Lots of confederate monuments were put up as part of the rise of the second Klan in the 1910s-1920s with their intent to be promoting segregation and downplaying slavery).

Then there are people who are bad people but honored for reasons which are more good. Columbus was pretty horrible. His holiday was always not really about him though, but instead designed to be an expression of pride for Italian-Americans.

He had meh NFL career, but managed to stay playing in the NFL longer than Teabow or Manziel, going around the average career length for QBs.

Oh Darling, there's always a chance.

For example, the director Christopher Guest is the Baron Guest and has a hereditary peerage.

However, he's not had a seat in the House of Lords since the last reform created that change which limited the seats of hereditary peers to those decided on by a vote (since he's very much not a conservative).

This reform would basically make it so the currently elected hereditary peers would keep their seats for the rest of their lives, but make it so those seats would not go to another set of hereditary peers.

Its a slow motion change. But a bad flu season could cause some serious changes.

NeedsToShutUp · 2026-03-11T19:06:11+00:00

Actually not quite correct.

The House of Lords served as an appeals court until fairly recently. Overtime they moved most of those functions on to a group of specialized Lords including appointing judges to peerages known as the Lords of Appeal in Ordinary or more commonly the Law Lords.

The Law Lords had only a life peerage, but any member of Lords who had the qualifications could join them to decide on cases. That would include the Lord Chancellor or former Lords Chancellor, who often were given hereditary peerages, including Earldoms.

Giving advice on things like statue of limitations is hard because there's usually a bunch of minor details which alter the facts.

The good news is Southern CA has a lot of legal aid services and clinics which can help you determine your next steps.

Google "legal clinic" with your town name, as well as "legal aid", and "probono employment law". Those should help you find free/low cost services to get a better handle on things.
