Clickbait has reached a totally new level with this headline.

But we don’t need blockchain to do any of that, someone still has to be trusted so might as well just use normal database tech.

I think it’s actually a pretty good episode up until the final few minutes when the questionably sentient lizards show up. How reviled the episode is says more about how people react to that than the overall episode, IMO.

On top of that, I almost always carry a pistol with tritium sights or a light. So maybe that’s another reason I’m a bit more confident in the dark?

Yeah, carrying a gun everywhere might have something to do with why you feel comfortable and other people don’t.

The lack of fireflies aren’t a rural/urban thing, I don’t think. I’ve always lived in suburbs of a mid-size city and definitely remember fireflies swarming around as a kid, too.

Writing a letter with the intent of reducing the sentence of a convicted rapist counts as a coverup in my book.

Also, individuals who continue to defend rapists are not good people. Doesn’t matter if they are friends.

I think it’s fair to judge someone directly involved with covering up a rapist when that person is also very vocal and actively involved in combating exactly that crime. That’s a pretty massive lapse in judgement and more indicative of his true character than someone that had a single instance of road rage or similar emotional outburst.

Not surprised at all by the hypocrisy. These are the same people that have continually voted against taking care of veterans and 9/11 first responders.

Thanks for this dose of reality. It doesn’t matter who you are, I should not judge how anyone reacts to inappropriate touching (or just unexpected events in general).

instead of slapping the douchebag.

I’d imagine that is the reaction that at least 50% of male reporters would have had.

Of course, most of us dudes are so rarely sexually assaulted in public like this that it would be a unique thing, further underscoring the parent’s whole point about the reporter’s reaction being the most tragic part.

It was strange to read an article about something recorded on video and see so many uses of “alleged” and “appears to”. Then I watch the video–which, as a surprise twist, the article doesn’t even include–to realize it’s definitely not ambiguous!

Maybe Spanish libel laws are more strict than I’m used to, but that is some seriously cautious journalism!
