not really since my driver got taken out. And then everyone else got taken out. But I'm cross stitching to the end of it now
Yeah, but they weren't playing ISU, so the incredible, unbelievable super comeback mojo won't work.
I have all of his incarnations on my ignore.
I wasn't able to watch the game, but saw the final score.And Boxster is probably kicking himself since it was actually a higher scoring game.
Also, unrelated, but finding sources to show that something didn't happen is a lot harder than finding sources that something did happen
Short answer: that there aren't a ton of guys getting accused of sexual assault in Wisconsin because they thought the woman consented when she actually didn't.
Longer answer: I'm writing a paper that Germany should adopt Wisconsin's sexual assault law. Wisconsin uses an affirmative consent standard. Affirmative consent is where in order for sex to not be considered sexual assault, the other person needs to show you through words or actions that they consent. One of the arguments against this standard and for a "no means no" standard (where it's sexual assault if the other party tells you/demonstrates they don't want to have sex, but you still have sex with them anyway) is that you'll have situations where guys think they have consent, are mistaken, as a result unintentionally commit sexual assault, and are punished for it. I'm trying to prove this doesn't happen by looking at the caselaw, but you can't really say "I can't find cases where this occured." So what I'm doing is citing to cases where the guy claimed there was a mistake, but their arguments really weren't that convincing.
And here's the statute if people would be interested: https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/statutes/statutes/940/II/225
Ha, I watched the last 10 minutes or so. Was pulling for MSU though cause niece is a big Sparty fan now (her hubby).
I thought they were pulling a terrible Miss Universe/Steve Harvey joke. They announced La La Land won and while they were doing speeches I noticed two backstage guys run out and start doing stuff with peoples' statues. Emma Stone goes "oh my God" and then Kimmel comes out and whatever guy was speaking (maybe producer for La La Land?) Is like oh there's been a mistake. Moonlight actually won. So yeah.
Warren Beatty had been given the card for Best Actress, Emma Stone in La La Land.
But Emma had already won, so were there two cards, or was that card inadvertently handed to Warren?
Hey Academy?
Poor Emma Stone.
Emma, if you need comforting after this and you happen to be reading the Random Thoughts Thread on Cyclonefantic, let me know and I'll do all I can to help.
Price Waterhouse obviously messed up.
And glad anyone but LaLa Land won.
And Amy Adams was still robbed.
