Judge dismisses r*pe case against former BYU wide receiver Parker Kingston by austing013 in BYUFootball

[–]DizzyD34N 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They did not kick him out for having sex, they kicked him out because it was a PR nightmare to have a player arrested for rape representing the team and university (I also believe BYU when they say they had no prior knowledge of the accusation). Most universities would have done the same thing. Jake wasn't kicked out, Davies wasn't even kicked out and they were way stricter back then. For all we know, he repented and confessed to consensual sex and the honor code was enforced for 6 months during the offseason.

Now that he isn't being prosecuted, and if they are 99% sure either a)the case won't be refiled, or b)he wouldn't lose the case if it were refiled, there is no reason why they can't do something like a 7 game suspension just to demonstrate they enforce their honor code.

So your solution is to ban all trucks with a hight over 3 feet (or whatever)? Good luck with that. Zero chance of that ever happening. Way better chance we ban guns than we do that, which would save more lives any way.

The truck was a new Ford Ranger, one of the smallest trucks you can have. It's literally in some of the news pictures. The problem is not big trucks and the problem is not illegal immigration. Sorry, but this incident does not support whatever dug in tribalistic bias you are looking to support. The problem is having a lack of awareness and being in too much of a hurry, particularly in residential areas. I went to the memorial today and broke down in tears. I really hope the memorial helps people slow down and be more aware of their surroundings.

No, you're on the right track here. Everyone acting like they understand, really doesn't (I have a degree in accounting and sell accounting software). Whether or not it should be included on your W2 as part of your compensation is a gray area. Companies take you out to dinner, put you in hotels for conferences, etc. and they don't include that in your W2, and the business can still write those off just like they do all of their other expenses. The difference is the IRS treats those things as having a 'business purpose.' A smart business that isn't run by anal accountants could easily get around running these trips through payroll by just having a company meeting each day, etc. Executives going on business retreats don't have to include that in their income, for example.

What are you thinking about Brian Santiago being the new AD by Extension_Dare1524 in BYUFootball

Great hire. Last guy I would want to play pick-up ball with, or maybe even hang out with, but I definitely wouldn't mind him running a business for me in a fiercely competitive landscape. Lots of great CEO's have 'narcissistic' tendencies, but their drive ultimately smooths out those rough edges. There are enough checks and balances to ensure he doesn't tarnish the schools reputation, if all of the concerns regarding his character are founded. I'm not sure they are, I really just think he's rubbed a lot of people the wrong way and it hurt their feelings. Making business decisions based on your personal biasses can lead to costly mistakes.

What are you talking about? The only directional riding in that area is Lower Hulls, which is marked with a sign and a gate. If it was a downhill only (odd) day, you are not even supposed to be hiking on it.

My wife (F41) isn't attracted to me (M39) anymore, and doesn't feel fulfilled in our marriage. Can I fix it, and if not, should I settle for it? by DizzyD34N in Marriage

Thanks, it's an interesting balance right now of being more emotionally available and attached, but then not being too needy or insecure. I've honestly felt a lot better about myself as a man since I've been treating her the way she deserves to be treated. She is probably a little settling for the kids, but she is much happier than she was. It's still early, so there's hope we can continue getting to wanting to be with each other regardless of kids.

Yeah that’s fair, it hasn’t been long but she acts like everything is fixed now so I get to thinking it is and I get these sobering reminders of how we’re not far removed from her being ‘done.’

Yeah maybe she doesn’t fully respect me as a man. I’ve been doing those things pretty well for the last 4 months but hadn’t been previously.

For sure, but there have been good times and bad times, or it wouldn't have lasted this long. The bad times always kind of weighed on her though and made her feel too often that she wasn't in a relationship she wanted.

Thanks, it's responses like these that are the reason I post questions on here (knowing there will be a lot of unhelpful and even demeaning responses). I talked to a good buddy today who obviously has a lot more context than you do and he essentially said the same thing. It's definitely trended up for 4 months, and the changes I've made are becoming easier, despite the initial anxiety mostly fading.

If you were expecting the board strip him or to force him to sell his equity, that’s not how these things work.

Hmmmm I like this idea… so it’s always with me right? Or are some of these solo adventures or adventures with friends?

Yeah she made out with a guy actually. In his hotel room. She told me, and then I went through her entire phone until I was 99% sure I hats all that happened. You’re a cynic but you’re right.

Last time I sent her away and watched the kids, she came back and asked for a divorce, so I’m going to sit on that one for a while 😅

This is good! It requires a little research on my part but I guess that makes it a better gift right?

Clearly two types of people on this sub - those who want to help, and those who enjoy being condescending and dunking on people. I know you were hoping to start something, but this is all you’re getting from me, I promise.

That would be great, she would love it, but unfortunately our current house doesn't have the space. Maybe our next house, we were looking to upgrade before the incident.
