I mean Russia is back to bartering for goods the Ruble is struggling so hard.

I imagine the the reason China is ok with it is cause they view Russia as collateral that they can claim for their cheap labor force and supplies when they try to push their own economy out of so much manufacturing.

Similar to what they are doing in Africa but with a closer contract to push on since it’s closer and easier to control.

Well I wouldn’t turn to Russia for economic growth. That’s for sure.

They already blocked you to keep their echo chamber pure.
Cause if you can’t see people that disagree with you they don’t exist and you can be surprised and angry when things just don’t go your way.

I would hope that to be true but know that it’s not how life works. So maybe stop thinking you know who everyone else is and what they know.

Obviously the perpetrator knew and from testimony some others certainly did but not everyone thinks about their life so closely.
Hopefully it inspires more people to take vocal recorded consent and have safe words/actions but even then people will still be stupid because people don’t know what they don’t know.

Best we can educate others, pity (where possible), and hold accountable for their actions as needed.

Told that it was the wife’s kink to pretend to be asleep and that consent was given earlier to be passed on since they would be roleplaying as soon as they got in the bedroom…
Fuck that’s fucked up, typing out.

If stealthing is rape by altered consent then this certainly falls somewhere in that spectrum too.

Edit for a quote but yeah I mean this is a huge deal and full of insane testimony that should be the basis of this discussion.

Basically threesomes where 1 of the participants have not been given a chance to fully consent and 1 was given none. Because of 1 guy who enjoyed the power he felt.

Your comment doesn’t attack the person upset it just leaves out other victims as if they don’t exist.

You can edit a comment at any time and you don’t have to be miserable or rude just cause someone else is.

Its a shame an obviously inflammatory sign and clickbait seeking article image has made it so that the discussion is mostly off topic.

Its insane and the whole evil piece of shit that perpetrated his kink of having multiple people raped by omission and literal drugging and rape gets away from conversations by the obvious bullshit of absolutes is insane to me. how about no victim blaming on either side and recognition that rape is awful abuse of power dynamics that occur whenever its viewed as possible.

But also this post should probably be removed because that sign is meant to cause this kinda of angry response and it leads into a lot of hurt victims and happily ignorant people hand waving it away.

Said as another absolute that you shouldn’t, as if PTSD doesn’t exist for men that do get raped but just not as frequently.

Yes it’s skewed but seriously try to avoid absolute statements like that cause it absolutely will push the same victim ignorance that we try to avoid with women comig forward and it will upset people.

Just say “most” or even the “average man”

Make your point then and make it factual? Cause so far you have said America doesn’t have immigration to fall back on which it does in spades even though I agree it looks like, and is in all practicality, slave labor.

Then said, incorrectly, Chinese immigrants worked in mines and used unrelated other slave labor immigration as whataboutisms.

The point was that America can sell the idea of itself to keep import of cheap labor high and you have wafted about without a point just yelling at people about all the things you think are wrong with the world and nitpicking, poorly, other people.

You don’t stay on topic and you basically don’t have a point other than be angry. If you have a point make it. If you want to be angry and rant then fine but be honest about it and just be angry and rant.

You get yelled at because you slip off topic to sputter out a “fact” that you think wins an argument while it being tangentially related and off topic. Your dog dying is not a good excuse for failing gym class. Yes it’s sad. But it’s not the point.

Take this as a learning moment from someone that agrees with you and won’t back down at telling you, find a different way to talk to people.

This “holier than thou” shtick where you say random factoids as a way to feel superior in a conversation ain’t doing you favors and isn’t accomplishing anything other than stroking yourself out. And it’s fine if you want to do that but do it in private. We don’t need to see you jacking off your ego.

Also you are wrong about how the east asian populace in California was used, as it often wasn’t about working the mines as much as them racking up a debt trying to get rich and then owing money so that they could be used as cheap labor elsewhere. God do you even actually have a point or is it just be angry at whatever people say?

Oh it’s awful but I’m saying people are paying the privilege to be treated like shit in the US cause it’s “better” than their crumbling local country or beats the idea of their false impression of their crumbling country of origin.

I didn’t brag about it. But the US sure does have this happening at a rate hard to be ignored.

I mean I literally used an example that is historically known to have been basically a scam to import cheap labor and you still got defensive and hostile.

Your need to be right will kill any conversation you are part of.

It sure predates lake Laogai

Soviet Union

Its an Avatar the Last Airbender reference… =__=

Does it?

People still pay upwards of $10,000 US to get smuggled into the country that they will only work in for 4 years as basic farm and factory workers in a house of 20 people.

The world is a mess and America is the gold mines of california with no gold in it. But a lot of people are getting rich selling immigrants the shovels.

Ignoring the fact that I keep saying the point is to not bother including it at all and has been since the beginning. That any bias source is pointless unless you are using it for moderation purposes at which point it is none of our concern cause we won’t be able to see the untrustworthy articles you would decide to delete.

Demanding an alternative when being told the concept of picking any single source bias checker is pointless, insists that you refuse to accept any idea on this other than a deep seated desire that you want it for emotional reasons. Last time I repeat this. You are a waste of time and truly a poor communicator.

Wow that response is exactly my point. It’s like talking to a wall.

You aren’t accepting of other ideas you just want someone to tell you what they are apparently. These “fact checkers” are for making a profit or paying themselves and mostly exist to make you feel good about being picky with what information you ignore in a world where there mostly isn’t good options for any number of reasons depending who you agree with.

You can’t seen to get the idea that we don’t view it as necessary and visual clutter. And the option we are aiming for isn’t a replacement that you seen to be stuck on because, see above.

People aren’t likely to change their stance either it just reconfirms set feelings for the most part unless it is a lie at which point it should already be removed right?

So this is at best a badge for pretending civility. It’s pointless.

The only idea you will accept is yours, literally has to be there cause of no particular reason other than personal desires and wants.

Its like saying the only option is punching or kicking children cause you won’t accept the answer of “stop abusing them!”

Maybe just back off and listen? Or at this point I am forced to assume the mods are being paid for including something that has not been positively talked about once. And they are just taking payment.

LOL this is the hilarious response of
“Oh yeah?! Don’t have anything better than putting a biased source of credibility attached to every article for no reason other than for people to use to dismiss articles and not read them?!
Well too bad removing it isn’t an option! Find me a different one cause it makes me feel good!”
