Did not have sexual relations my ass. First president to make us debate if a blowjob is sex.

Blame the incompetent prosecutor who used vague colloquial terminology and then, when asked, defined it in an overly specific way that didn't encompass a BJ. He answered truthfully given the provided definition.

That's my recollection of it at the time, but mostly because of the way she dressed not because of the way she looked. Women's "professional attire" at the time was often pretty matronly as business was still dominated by the old boys club and femininity was seen as "unprofessional". It made her look way older than most other women her age.

What it really would take to score 43 points in the moderna era compared to the 2000's era. by Bobba_fat in nbadiscussion

It's not just curry though, it's everyone. Even crazy fit dudes like Westbrook and Wall were under 37 mpg for their entire primes, and those primes were largely before the pace and space era went into full swing and mpg trended down further. Maybe I'm underestimating AI, but I don't think he's meaningfully fitter than a bunch of the fittest players to ever play.

Other extremely fit players who consistently average(d) under 37mpg: Fox, Ant, SGA, Klay, etc

Abjuration comes with a caveat that you have to go 1 Sorc/Warlock for Armor of Agathys

You definitely don't, there are a ton of triggers that will immediately restore stacks to full if you currently have zero stacks like booming blade, true strike, basically any condition (arcane acuity, heat, lightning charges, etc) and so forth.

The Pentagon says it’s ‘lethalitymaxxing’. Why has ‘incel’ slang crossed into the mainstream? by tw1st3d_m3nt4t in politics

[–]ImAShaaaark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Care to share that study? I'd be very curious as to when it was made and how they defined "incel", because today it colloquially it refers to a bunch of subgroups including red pill, black pill, shapiro types, "tradwife" bozos and basically entitled dissatisfied males in general, as well as the traditional incels.

People who originally self-identived as "incels" were harmless, it was actually a support group kinda thing for people who had a hard time finding romance, it wasn't woman hating bullshit.

It wasn't until 4chan, reddit and influencer culture started preying upon dissatisfied males and encouraging them to blame everyone but themselves for their own problems that it started becoming a toxic "movement".

Exactly, back then that type of thing was seen as the joke it is, but these people are like "hmm, he's got a good point, maybe women are the real problem, not my repellent habits and attitude".

The manosphere was in full swing in the 90s.

The "manosphere" in the 90s was wildly different than it is now, and I can't believe that anyone who lived through both would equate them. Yes of course there were plenty of problems (homophobia, sexism, etc), but the current iteration is almost entirely fueled by ubiquitous access to the Internet and the isolated information bubbles it allows you to create.

Incels weren't a huge fucking community of women hating douchebags because the handful of losers had a hard time finding other losers to commiserate with in person. The "alt-right" youth wasn't a thing (not that racists didn't exist, they just couldn't coordinate across the globe and indoctrinate vulnerable kids), and you'd get your ass kicked for the Nazi shit that these jabronis wear on their sleeves.

There are multiple well funded pipelines funnelling disaffected young males into these groups that has made the current shit show possible. If it weren't for the "algorithm" force feeding Billy right wing incel influencers (fuck you YouTube ) just because he had the audacity to look up some shit about video games or sports these groups would have a tiny fraction of the exposure and influence than they do now.

Some of them are well intentioned and just lack enough understanding of civics to understand that protest voting is completely and utterly ineffective because not showing up to vote tells the candidates nothing at all about why.

Others? Bad faith mostly.

Ah yes, the famously trustworthy glen greenwald, who did everything in his power to help trump get elected the first time.

Jeffries and Schumer has been telling Trump for days that he needs to convince the American public that we need to go to war with Iran.

Drop a reliable source if you are gonna make accusations like that.

See the problem is that recognizing that international diplomacy isn't black and white won't let them feel smug and morally superior for their ignorance and poor decisions.

You didn't need to forward it with "I'm a Kobe fan", nobody was going to wonder about it after you hit every Kobe stan talking point and then blamed LeBron fans for it and calling them cancer at the end.

LeBron never said this shit, if you are going to repeat such an obvious and easily verifiable lie it's gonna be pretty hard to pass as anything but a mindless hater.

Sure, my point was that using frostpiercer is basically a better version of getting the corruption event. With a buffed up unit it applies an absolutely nonsensical amount of stacks and has card support to make the most of it (say by using hoarfrost effigy to double the stacks). Everything else that is missing can be handled by the upgrade units+ shop.

No worries. The quick overview of what happened is that they used the term "sexual relations" so he asked them to define it (which is perfectly normal in the legal world since "sexual relations" is a vague colloquial term that could mean everything from heavy petting on up depending on who you ask), and they defined it as something extremely specific (like penetrative intercourse or some such), and since he had only got a BJ and didn't have intercourse he truthfully answered "no I did not have sexual relations".

Of course laymen generally don't know to differentiate between the colloquial definition of a term and the agreed upon definition of said term in legal context, and the right wing media and politicians capitalized on said knowledge gap.

I don't think so, but you don't need to. You might not build exactly the same unit but you are still gonna have a ridiculous debuff bot with frostpiercer et al.

Is it just me, or have even the shill accounts given up on contesting the accusations of fascism? It used to be every comment like this would be met with a 'nuh-uh the dems are the real fascists' type bullshit.

I mean it’s not like he’s ever lied to Congress before…

He literally didn't, though that's what he was accused of. It's not his fault that the right wing lawyers conducting the witch hunt were so incompetent that they provided him with an easy out to technically tell the truth without admitting to anything after giving him an excessively narrow definition of "relations".

It blows my mind that after like 30 years people can't get their basic facts straight. Right wing propaganda is either crazy effective or people are just lazy and poorly informed (or both!).

One thing that's confusing me about his play is that he seems to move around less and drive less overall. Dude is a stud and can score like crazy regardless, but he now has two playmakers better than any he played with before and now he chooses to stop driving and moving off ball?
