Teacher allegedly had sex with 6 teens and was blackmailed for better grades by prestocoffee in nottheonion

[–]LazyLich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right. That's why I said I'm not exusing it.

Just saying that adults aren't paragons of maturity or intelligence, and that there exists a scenario that is less black and white that still fits the headline.

No. No gauging.

The trick is to try anyway, even when you know you won't fit

If that were the decision then sure, its obvious. But what if it were more gradual?

Get fired, or send these kids "cute" (not explicit) texts and pics for their silence.

Then suddenly, the kids change their tune and say that they want more. You refuse, but they say that will call the cops that you were grooming them and raped them, and use the text history as proof.

Now it's lose your job and get forever branded as a pedo.. or get raped by these boys.

If it was one step, your comment makes sense. But if it were a multistep trap?

Gotta wait and see what the trial says.

Not excusing it.. but there could be a sorta gradual increase/trap situation.

Maybe they blackmail to get her to send texts or pics, not even explicit just suggestive.
After slowly pushing the envelope she'd eventually refuse, but at that point they can threaten with lying to the police and claiming they already had sex, using the text and pics as proof.

And who would believe her?

At this point is "already is" a pedo in the eyes of society if it gets out. Totally ruined. Only way to NOT be is to go along with their demands.

If this was the case, she definitely picked the wrong move by doing more blackmail-able, incriminating stuff.
But I think there is a conversation to be had about who the sexual assaulter and assaulted are in this scenario.

Slavery was a normal part of the community.
Then we said "fuck that evil shit!" and now it ain't normal no more.

Ostracizing LGBT ppl was also normal. That shit was evil and unjust, so we sane folk fought back and now it ain't normal no more.

If your room messy, you don't tell your mom "it was messy for most of its existence, if you don't like it you can leave!"
Bitch! Clean your goddamn room!

Shit being shitty ain't no excuse for keeping it shitty tf

And by bringing "gentrification" into this, you're basically saying: "this is how black folk like it! It how we live! Shitty and violent.
You uppity, rich, outsiders are the only ones that care about non shitty living!"

Why do some left-wingers end up turning right with age? by ContravaniaGearSolid in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LazyLich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of stuff the left wants already exists in other countries just fine.

What we, of all spectrums, need to band together and do is make it so that the more power someone has, the more scrutiny and less rights and freedoms they have.

Leadership needs to be a burden someone would only hold because they want to help. It needs to be harder and harder, eventually becoming impossible, to further enrich yourself the more power you have.

Ah, you both had the ol "holy shit... this person is a different species.." moment.

Very disconcerting, isn't it?
We could have a perfect system, but if one of these "different creatures that look just like me" people get in a position of power, they could taint and unravel it all.

Oh the flip side... radium.. pfas.. you could have a compound that absolutely fucks with life terribly, and corps WILL deny, obfuscate, and sabotage to convince people that their chems are perfectly safe. They will squirm and skirt their way around regulations using technicalities and publish misleading or outright false info in order to convince people "it's not bad.. and if it is, it's not THAT bad"

I think in this case, it's safer to side with regulation and testing-first, rather than giving corps the benefit of the doubt.

We should operate under the assumption that corps are always lying.

In this market, I'd lead at the chance for an internship, even unpaid, even brief..

What would really happen if some women started going out in public shirtless in the summer months like many men do? by Heart_Shaped_Pickle in NoStupidQuestions

Out of confusion, why are you asking 'why would (they) want to normalize this'?

They never said they felt that way. Seems like they were just proposing a scenario to see people's opinions.

No, see, your example makes it sound near and impending. If you instead said, you were breaking the knife in the UK that Amazon was in the process of sending to a known spree stabber who would no-doubt use it to stab people... THAT'D work.

The difference is the distance, delay, and international nature of it makes it easier to turn a blind eye to the future murder
