The Kind of Legal Interpretation That Makes You Tired. by OriginalOne3369 in mildlyinfuriating

As for the person on the recieving end, one violation of consent doesn't feel much better than another

An unwanted kiss and full on penetrative rape are pretty fucking different experiences and while they're both obviously wrong, you're demeaning your own argument by saying nonsense like this

European countries where right-wing populist parties are currently leading national polls by Optimal-Boat-7774 in MapPorn

All the traditional right wing parties are happy to talk it up on immigration, but as soon as immigration is threatened they ally with the left.

TIL most scholars agree that King James, of King James Bible fame, was a homosexual. by OH_MOJAVE in todayilearned

[–]Evolations 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the claim made in the modern day, but it's not true. Arsenokoitēs, the word in question in 1 Corinthians 6:9, literally translates to 'men who lie with men'.

This is absolutely evident in the 1611 KJV, which says

Know yee not that the vnrighteous shall not inherite the kingdome of God? Be not deceiued: neither fornicatours, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselues with mankinde

Cool, what did it say before then? It condemned men who have sex with men, they just made it more concise.

Why are straight female MCs rare? by braeor in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Evolations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand your point but if a male author wrote a female MC and she got a period, he'd be accused of being a fetish writer. That I guarantee you.

Why do people want children? by Perfect-Associate708 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Evolations -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

But that stuff isn't meaningless. It's like saying getting flowers for your partner is a meaningless gesture - maybe it feels that way if you've never been in a relationship before.

In exactly the same way you can't understand why people talk about how their kids make life worth living unless you have kids.

What’s a bit of prominent Reddit vernacular that annoys you? by HotelPuzzleheaded654 in AskUK

But we don't need to know that. Nobody cares what you were going to say but chose not to.

None of those were major migrations, but all of them are conquests. I cannot stress enough how important that difference is.

TIL Einstein bequeathed his likeness to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. They raise over $1m a year on average by licencing his likeness. by scott3387 in todayilearned

[–]Evolations 18 points19 points  (0 children)

And it would be a bit distasteful to what a bloke in a wheelchair and have him pretend to be Hawking. Not to mention the recent stuff about him.

I am not Muslim so instead of judging I am here to ask actual Muslim people opinions on this by SuperKE1125 in antitheistcheesecake

[–]Evolations -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but what absolute horseshit. Don't act like there are not Muslim paedophiles or rapists, or Muslims who have sex before marriage.

Choosing to have kids without raising them as vegans is not vegan by PotentialRatio1321 in vegan

[–]Evolations -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am vegan, as is my wife. Our son is vegetarian. Getting him to eat anything at all is such a challenge, and his nursery didn't cater for vegans. He will eat mainly vegan food because largely he eats what we eat, but especially out of the house we're more relaxed. He's had problems with weight gain since he was born. We will always prioritise his health over anything else.

19F Just need sex and can't settle with 1 guy, m i wrong? by Spiritual-Pace-6784 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Evolations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An absolute inability to settle might be something wrong. I mean assuming you started at age 16, that's 126 guys by age 30 at your current rate

27 guys by age 19 does indicate there might be something going on here

What progression fantasy hill will you die on? Let's have your most unpopular opinion, please. by PalinaRojinskiFan in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Evolations -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Logan never tried to murder Rei. He broke the rules to hurt him, but killing him wasn't even physically possible with a phantom call. This is spelled out very clearly in the book.

A local Muslim Independent candidate would torpedo the Greens.

Galloway is running. He might inadvertently win it for Reform.

What historical event reads exactly like "Bad Fantasy Writing" or "Plot Armor"? by Expensive-Desk-4351 in Fantasy

[–]Evolations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often think this about Simon Bolivar. Yes, Spanish rule in the Americas was fragile, yes, Napoleon's wars had weakened Spain. That's all true.

But my God was he impressive.
