    The 4 in 10 statistic is the fucking awesome one from that study.

    It directly compares to the 1 in 5 statistic falsely claimed by feminists as evidence of a rape culture.

    So 20% of women suffer unwanted sexual interactions and that's an issue? How about the 40% of men then, you ignorant fucking feminist misandrists?

    As a man, the risk of a false accusation is infinitely higher than the risk of me raping someone.

    Personal evidence : I've been falsely accused of sexual assault. I've never sexually assaulted someone.

    It's not a small risk to me.

    While feminist organisations and politicians are fighting the Safe Campus Act which explicitly demands that rape accusations are referred to the police for a full and thorough investigation to assure justice for the victim I think it's reasonable to suggest that feminists are very much in support of false rape allegations.

    It's the only interpretation for their insistence that the accused get no opportunity to defend themselves, for their insistence that a proper investigation shouldn't happen, and for their insistence that the police shouldn't be invited to arrest and prosecute the alleged rapist.

    If it's a rape, it's crime. Let the justice system handle it. Or can you explain why feminists are so scared of that?

    The college administration will lynch the guy on the college green.

    Metaphorically speaking, yes. Have you fucking seen the way men accused of sexual assault are treated by college administrators?

    Shit, a lynching would almost be kinder.

    ..and yet: the stuntman successfully did actually do it. That was real, so clearly it can happen.

    The article is referring to CGI bridge failures. If they built a scale model and wrecked it the behaviour could well match reality - even though in reality Godzilla just isn't going to walk through the Golden Gate.

    This is why films which still use physical stunts are inherently superior to those that rely on CGI. The Blues Brothers wouldn't be a classic if they hadn't set a world record.

    No. The supposition is that if the prosecution can prove the defendant's guilt beyond all reasonable doubt in a fair trial then the verdict will be guilty.

    Ok, they were warned by Turkey. Was the warning the only one the Turks have ever given, or is this one of sixty a day? Are the Turks reliable or do they give a warning for anything? Did the warning includes the names of the attackers, including the names they were using in France or Belgium? Did the warning include a date? Did the warning include a location? Was the location 'France', 'Paris' or actually useful? Did the warning include the time of the attacks? Did the warning include anything fucking actionable at all?

    Or would you like to assume that everybody in France is malicious and/or incompetent, on the grounds it's easier than thinking?

    I think it's very reasonable to assume that the French did not want an attack to take place, and that they would have acted had they known it was being initiated.

    There's no leniency, just communication and resource challenges, and (even in France) a dogged insistence on mostly obeying the law by not (e.g.) rounding up all muslims and feeding them to pigs.

    ISIS isn't stupid.

    8 people with the benefit of surprise, automatic firearms and explosives died to kill 129. I'd say that's pretty stupid, they could easily have managed that many and survived, then done it again in a couple of weeks.

    Or killed 224 with 1kg of explosives.

    No, ISIS is supported by a lot of stupid people. Shit, most of them are fucking delusional believers in some mythical gay sky fairy.

    For people that do strict Agile that means nothing can be worked on unless you can verify it in the UI.

    Now there's some utter bullshit. I've successfully used an agile methodology to deliver a server application that had no UI beyond basic log files and working downstream systems.

    For us, it means we can't work on problems that cause bad data that isn't exposed in the UI.
