Demonstrating once more why rape accusation victims should have anonymity.
At least he doesn't have a boss that'll ask him awkward questions, and is in a country where his female employees wont sue the company for forcing them to work with an accused rapist.
No, not all date rape is fake. The moment the girl says or indicates that she wants you to stop, you stop or it's rape.
It's not difficult. Well, it can be if she times it really badly, but the principle is basic enough that even you should be able to understand it: Girl says no, you don't fuck her.
While Martin Fowler does program, it's farcical to describe him as a 'programmer'.
Other labels might include software engineer, thought leader, visionary, author, scientist and 'probably the greatest software engineer the world has yet known'.
I'm sure he'll welcome people disagreeing with his writing, especially if they speak from informed positions, but he's one of the rare people that you really should look to understand and respect before you dismiss their views.
I have tremendous gratitude to people like Gamma and Beck; they're pioneers and have done more than almost anybody to turn programming into an engineering discipline.
Almost, but not quite. You see, there's Martin Fowler..
Ben Elton is the first person I heard saying the word cunt on British TV, so given the prevalence of that word in Australia your anecdote feels highly ironic.
Note that thorpe (and thorp) is a common suffix for a place name in that part (and others) of England, and generally means 'hamlet'. Scunny has grown a little since being named.
What was that? Teenagers just brutally thrust the London Gherkin through the gaping pleasure passage of your suggestion, rendering a whole sentence worth of new words taboo?
Good luck constructing sentences when your allowed language is down to three words.
Ah, the distinction between the law and its application. Not only were Title IX investigations lacking in due process and not only were they also overwhelmingly used to target men and not women, but shit, look at the hypocrisy that flies when a woman is accused: https://jezebel.com/what-are-w...
On top of that, you're telling me Amherst settled Doe vs Amherst because they felt they were in the right? Have you read page 18 of the lawsuit? http://s3.documentcloud.org/do...
How the fuck was that a fair and balanced process? Shit, there are countless examples. E.g. one where two students were both drunk and had sex, but only the male was subjected to disciplinary proceedings: https://www.armstrongteasdale....
You're the one making the claim that there is a large amount of positive stories that are being ignored. Back up your claim.
No, I'm refuting the claim that there are no positive stories. I've also provided evidence that the claim is false.
If you're standing by that claim then you're being obnoxiously and intentionally ignorant.
Trans people are now being harmed by this, because now there is nothing requiring schools to treat them as people
What the fuck sort of bullshit statement is that? There's nothing requiring schools to treat men or women as people either, by that logic. What part of this exclude trans people:
No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.
Forgive me if I fail miserably to spot the part of that which says, "unless they're trans".
There are also women being harmed by this due to removing the requirements to investigate their real complaints.
If a woman has a real complaint and her school isn't investigating it, she still has options. She may well have a title IX complaint against the school, and if the complaint is relating to sexual assault or rape then the justice system is also available and supportive to her.
Curious though that you're worried about women here. The whole point of Title IX is to assure equal treatment of people irrespective of their sex. Men have exactly the same requirements to investigate their real complaints too.
So no, nobody is being harmed.
If it's a provably false accusation, then that's a crime and the woman also faces civil liability.
This is why there are multiple Title IX related cases against women and institutions by men that were false accused and received no justice at all.
You don't need to fuck over every woman and trangender person to get revenge on the girl who didn't actually want to have sex with you.
No woman or transgender person is getting fucked over. They're being treated exactly the same as men, which is hopefully with care, compassion and full access to the police.
If a girl doesn't want to sleep with me, I sleep alone. This is easy. It doesn't however stop me showing empathy to the men thrown out of college following a petulant false accusation by the girl that they didn't want to sleep with.
I also believe that I should be able to walk down the street, or board an aircraft, safe in the knowledge that there are no guns around me.
I believe that I should be able to walk down the street, or board an aircraft, carrying a gun.
I don't generally want to, I just think I should be able to. You on the other hand, I don't think should be able to. You're too fucking scared of them and irrational people shouldn't be allowed firearms.
My favourite is overturning the Dear Colleague letter. I fucking hated the sexist bullshit that caused, and greatly welcome the equal protection Title IX can now provide.
Mandating equal treatment irrespective of gender is surely something liberals must support, no?
So do your own fucking research. He's not my fucking president, I'm just not stupid enough to believe that everything he does is inherently wrong. You can't convince me of that unless you list absolutely fucking everything he's done and why it's wrong.
Even then, you'd be wrong. E.g.
Also, #3 is only good from your perspective. There's lots of people who will be hurt by it, and coverage of those is inherently negative.
Nobody will be hurt by reverting Title IX back to assuring people receive equal treatment on campus irrespective of their gender. Nobody.
Which is a vast improvement on the situation before Devos was appointed, with young men being railroaded out of college based on spurious and frequently provably false accusations.
Rape and sexual assault are serious crimes. Don't fucking hide them with a flawed kangaroo court that fails miserably to dispense anything resembling justice, call the fucking police and let them investigate properly.
Why is that so fucking hard to comprehend? Who the fuck loses out from that? Not a single fucking victim.
ooh, lets see. 1 - Black unemployment under 7% for the first time in US history. 2 - Diplomatic progress with North Korea including a commitment to denuclearise the peninsular 3 - Reversed the horrific 'Dear Colleague' letter that led to so many miscarriages of justice under Title IX
Other things that have been welcomed by his supporters would include withdrawal from the Paris climate accord, something considered to damage the US, his actions against sex trafficking (even if it did kill backpage), renegotiated the trade deal with Mexico, investments in US based energy production..
But shit, I'm not American or in America. Do your own fucking research.
The fact that you think there are some good things coming from the current administration horrifically demonstrates the partisan echo chamber you occupy.
Holy fuck. You really think everything is bad? Nothing is good?
You're so fucking isolated it's painful. Seek help.
Maybe you should seek a broader set of news sources that can offer you a more balanced view.
I know you're trying to be funny but really, when someone dares to acknowledge that sometimes people you don't like don't always get it completely wrong, that's not actually a bad thing. It's real life.
There is plenty of shit Trump is doing that I don't like. There's some stuff he's doing that I agree with. There are some outcomes he's achieving that are good for the US.
Who'd have thought. Well, those of us that actually access a broad spectrum of news, as it happens.
That's because stupid fuckwits react to tiny innocent things like playing a computer game and panic, call the police, charge a poor teenager with a serious crime when all he was doing was playing a fucking mobile phone game.
to reflect that the situation is being taken seriously, and being given proper respect, even virtual simulations using "augmented reality" should not be allowed on school property
That's not proper fucking respect. That's creating a culture of fear while entirely fucking ignoring the factors that actually lead to school shootings.
How many school shooters ever played AR games? How many ever shot zombies in their school? How many shot up schools long before computer games even fucking existed?
Shit, you're more of a problem than kids playing computer games are. Your reaction and the actions against this poor kid are substantially more likely to lead to school shootings than a fucking AR mobile phone game.
"Hi, we just fucked your entire future because we're paranoid idiots that don't understand shit but feel free to alienate and drive you out of normal society, giving you nothing to lose and a lot of grievance against the people causing you this hell."
Yeah. Do us all a favour, save the music licence budget and knock a fiver off the cost of the game.
I very rarely listen to in-game music. In a way that's a shame, as there's some excellent music added to games, often original. I just can't devote my entire hearing attention to games, and music on top of the game's ambient and activity related sounds is just too much.

What about those of us that fit into neither camp? Are we not allowed to impartially suggest that self victimisation is foolish?
Well now, I don't mind you using those words. I may just challenge their accuracy when used to describe me.
Ben Elton is the first person I heard saying the word cunt on British TV, so given the prevalence of that word in Australia your anecdote feels highly ironic.
Entry #2 in the Urban Dictionary?
Must admit, seems a bit of a fetch to me.
While I tend not to utter those words myself, I do think it's farcical that others allow them to exert such power.
As Wikipedia notes, "The town appears in the Domesday Book (1086) as Escumesthorpe, which is Old Norse for "Skuma's homestead""

Sure. Eliminate all slang and vulgarity.

Curious. Efficient pattern matching minimising false positives isn't a computer science thing?
Sure as fuck isn't a software engineering problem.
No contortion at all for muff to be deemed 'naughty'. It explicitly means vagina.
Sure, it's a tamer word than minge but if a site is censoring then it's a legitimate target.
Do you always reply before reading the other comments, or are you just being stupid on purpose?
Scroll up.
I want to give birth. Please provide me with an equal outcome to women.
Or shut the fuck up about stupidity like equal outcomes, you utter imbecile.

I'm pretty sure a drone can take out 300 armed hillbillies in about 5 minutes.
Really? It can work out who they are, where they are, kill them without killing 3000 others, all in five minutes?
Good luck with that, and with dealing with the inevitable consequences of killing 3000 people whose friends and relatives will react badly to that.
That GI kills my parents, my friends, enables his government to lock them up camps, torture them, oppress the people around me?
Fuck yes I'll kill his family members. It will take a lot to make me to go to war; enough that if I ever do, it will be a total war.
I don't agree civilians exist in total war. Fight for what you believe.
