It's not just physical force, but emotional force. Sure, he might have been able to physically force himself out of the situation - but would he have been able to do that without hitting or hurting the woman? A lot of us guys are old enough to have been trained from a very early age to _never_ hit or hurt a girl, or even touch her without her permission - no matter what. It's extremely hard to break the conditioning.
Actually no. Given enough stimulation, you'll get hard and orgasm no matter your conscious opinion in the matter. And that makes it all the more horrifying. And not just men, some women have orgasmed when being raped and that makes them feel even more powerless and self-disgusted.
My first uni calculus class just went with the 'very hard first test' a month in. The average score for the class was 30%. There were two people who broke the curve with scores over 80%. Both were mature (ie. older) students. For dozens of students who had never gotten less than an A in their lives, it was a good wake up call that it was time to actually study. Still didn't save me after 2nd year when they stopped spoon feeding and we were expected to do independent research. I eventually got a degree, but only after padding it out with some easy electives.
Not Tokyo, but I've done commutes into London. Because the train is light instead of dark, you're only dozing, and hearing your stop is like hearing someone calling your name. You can even learn to doze standing up by resting your head against the arm hanging on to the strap.
I've pretty much completely switched to the Kindle Fire 10". Wasn't that expensive (apart from the cover. I'm sure they're subsidising the device with the price of the covers). Took a while to get used to in comparison to the eInk though.
These days, absolutely. Sure, when I got my first Sony eReader, I pirated a lot. Actually paying for books was a hassle and the range of books then was very limited. But since I got a Kindle and Amazon introduced Unlimited and 10,000 self published authors came on, I'm happy to pay a small amount for a good story (even if they aren't edited well/at all.) The 10% preview is great to check if I like the writing style of an author I've not read before. I think I've only bought 3-4 duds where the rest of the book didn't live up to the first 10%.
Or at least not a house where they'd have to take a bus to get into the center of town so they can beg. Give them a room in the town center so they only have to walk 3 blocks for prime begging position and they'll never leave.
Must not have tried it on the early ones when UI hadn't been invented yet and the manual was translated from japanese to english via chinese. The way to set the clock was something like : Press and hold the channel up and down button simultaneously for 5 seconds, then press the channel down 5 times, then press and hold the CH up and down buttons again for 2 seconds, then use the buttons to select the day, CH up and down again for 2 seconds (hoping that you were close enough not to change the day), then adjust the hour, repeat for minute, then repeat for seconds, and then a final double press for 5 seconds to set it.
And then, after you've achieved this, powercuts were commonplace in those days and people just gave up after a few times, hence the flashing 12:00 in many homes.
It was public toilets for me. Could never use one without my mother looking around suspiciously. Luckily we lived out in the countryside, so we were free to fall down wells or attempt drowning without supervision. Didn't even have Skippy the Bush Kangaroo on hand to get help.
I almost never (maybe once or twice a year) use my phone while waiting at stop lights or in stationary traffic....because I don't have many friends. (#insert forever alone#)
Yes, start smaller, with more defined outcomes by tapping the nerves on the less important things like toes that aren't going to ruin a persons life if it screws up. Once that's going really well, one can move up the body, and yes, eventually the eyes and the brain.
If they were considered actual people, then they'd lock up their assets for 10-20 years for corporate manslaughter. Maybe with their 'assets' being used by Bubba in the meantime to get the full prison effect.
In a completely free market, you'd be allowed to have indentured servants too. Contract law can't override peoples rights. And in a free society, you have a right to do whatever you like as long as it's not restricted by law. So all you need to do is remove/amend the law that restricts people from repairing their own devices and all the clauses in contracts stopping that won't mean a thing. Sure, they can encrypt their code up the wazoo, but you'd be free to buy software to replace it or do a live patch. You know, like you can replace the OS of your computer or add/replace a DLL.
When I heard this story on the radio this morning, the most surprising bit was that Syria is responsible for the rise of ISIS. I'm sure last week it was the destabilization of Iraq that was the cause of ISIS.
Can someone send me the memo from the Ministry of Truth as I missed that one.
I remember once reading the advice at interview to dress at the maximum you'd be willing to work in every day. So if you're not willing to work in suit+tie every day then don't. And it works for every industry. If you're interviewing to be a lumberjack, then you won't wear a suit+tie, but you would at least wear the jeans that don't have the grease stains on them.
And the only job I've worked at that insisted on suit+tie every day I didn't last at. I simply can't concentrate with a noose around my neck.
Actually, Jewish criminals were hired as police by the Nazis. They did in fact get a sweet deal for ratting out their fellow Jews. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Ghetto_Police
It's pre-salted at the local cinema here...and it's _far_ too salty. Not really interested in consuming 3tp of salt in one sitting. So I just skip the popcorn entirely.

The actual people are too busy calling you during dinner trying to sell you insurance or claiming on an non-existent accident.

I spent a year in Dublin bunking with 3 other people.
Would they consider us all married?
...so you've seen the movie 'Cherry 2000'?
Yep. They'll deny and lie and lie again until it comes out in the Press - you'll only know for sure about 3 hours after the rest of the world does.

Nah, if it wasn't for US foreign policy, they'd still be known as 'oh yeah, the place where the movies come from. Love those guys.'

The carparks would be outside of the ring and they'd use light rail to move the people and stuff to and from the terminals?
No worries, we'll just have the water indoors out of the weather!

Yeah, I used a broken pressure cooker when I was young.
Now I use a large glass topped pot.
Watching the popcorn pop is fun in itself.
