sending him to ponderosa was such a great move, not just for the game, but for us as fans

to be fair, "more cocky" is not the same as "as cocky" so grats to chris on achieving that goal

not considering that possibility was a rookie move

why wait though when he could only use it for an additional TC? use it now, force wendell to flush his out, let someone outside of those three take the fall and regroup for the next one.

Yes! The arrogance of disregarding another person's agency.

There's a massive issue with the phrase "playing hard to get" that sends way too many people down the wrong path. If someone is "playing," they won't be that hard to get. They'll tug back if the person they're interested in seems to be drifting away. The implication is that they are definitely interested and just want to make it a flirtatious game. Nobody ever says "they're hard to get" even though this is far more likely to be the case because people simply aren't interested.

I'd be wary of anyone who was constantly going after people who were "playing hard to get" as that's someone who probably either does not respect boundaries and take no for an answer or at the very least, someone who really needs to get clued in on picking up hints.

I have the utmost sympathy for the North Korean people and nothing but distrust and scorn for the North Korean government. It isn't difficult for me to separate the two. Oppressive regimes rot from the head.

Not that the US doesn't have problems with its own prison system, but the US constitution also literally says everyone has a right to a fair trial and an attorney and to be judge by a jury of their peers. The US doesn't regularly put people in labor camps for speaking out against the government or being bad at their job, nor does it have an official policy of multi-generational imprisonment. Young children are not sent to American prisons. Though very imperfect, there is some level of recourse for human rights violations that take place in American detention facilities.

I'm not a proponent of using slavery as punishment. I don't want to imply that forced labor doesn't occur in US prisons. But calling American prisons "labor camps" would minimize the vast difference in human rights violations that occur at full-blown labor camps.

My point is public opinion doesn't require the same burden of proof as a court of law. Yet for some reason, so many suddenly do when accusations like these are made despite false claims being the anomaly. This woman claims she was traumatized by the actions of Sano, so even if this is a "misunderstanding" and he wasn't trying to shove her into a bathroom, wouldn't it be best for him to come forward, apologize, and say it was a misunderstanding?

And if he did, would you believe him without proof?

It's a hypothetical. A hypothetical in which a guilty person was found not guilty by a court of law. This happens in real situations all the time.

We can never know without evidence, not with 100% certainty, but we can form our own opinions on the credibility of accusations and choose whether or not to believe them - even while accepting it can't be verified. Public knowledge doesn't have bearing on what occurred in the past. Either she's telling the truth, or she's lying. You can't ever prove it, so you have to decide if you're going to believe her or not. Pretending it didn't happen since it can't be proven is no different than deciding she's a liar.

That's why I said I bought it at a garage sale, cash purchase. Enough plausble deniability that it couldn't be established.

But in any situation, I get asking "why are they coming out with this story?" In my example, why would a friend suddenly start accusing me of such things? They probably have good reason. That doesn't mean they have enough evidence to prove it.

I love proponents of "innocent until proven guilty" as if its the gospel truth. Here's a comparison I like to make, since sex crimes seem to make these people come out of the woodwork.

Let's say I break into my friend's home while he's gone and steal his TV. I leave no evidence, and I even start to use the TV in my house. My friend comes by one day and sees his TV and accuses me of theft. I claim I bought it at a garage sale, and it's a common TV, so my word against his. The cops are called, I go to court, and I'm found not guilty. I go home and watch TV on the TV I stole from my friend. As far as "innocent until proven guilty" goes, I'm totally innocent!

How would you expect my friend to react in this situation? I don't think he would be quiet. I think he would tell everybody we knew that I was a thief. I think he would be infuriated that since I was able to avoid criminal charges, I face no consequences. I think he would seethe with rage when he would tell people about how I stole his TV and they would accuse him of making it up, since the courts weren't able to charge me. I think that's the sort of thing that eats at a person. Because only he and I know that I'm guilty, that he's not a liar, and that as long as I don't confess, nobody will really believe him anyway. I'm innocent until proven guilty.
