13·1 day agoYou don’t need a fast charger at home. But if you live in apartment or something, then yeah you’re out of luck.
But do they know if they are a rapist? Even then, there are definitely people who knowingly invite rapist to a party. Epstein famously did that.
I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not… But there are legitimately people that do rape roleplay.
Fair enough. Just seems like it’s a cartoonish scenario without any ambiguity that really isn’t worth pondering.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•My right foot is swollenEnglish
3·2 days agoIt could be the sign of a weak heart. I’m not saying you’re in heat failure, but people in heart failure get fluid build up in their feet/ankles because the heart is having trouble pumping the fluid around. This might be a sign you need to get checked out.
And the average ticket was far more money back then as well. It was an event. You spent all that money so you dressed up for it. That’s the difference between a luxury and a commodity.
You’re also describing an extreme scenario. What about the scenario when you’re both drunk and just too impaired to make good decisions? The other person isn’t in the right mind to consent but you were both fooling around before you both got too fucked up. That’s a scenario where bad decisions get made. From my understanding the facilitating of those scenarios is “rape culture”. Not every case is going to be a simple as one person was sober and the other was passed out.
Even then, you’re not raised a rapist, you would have been raised someone who is more likely to become a rapist. You aren’t that until you actually become it. I don’t think we should be accusing anyone of anything before they’ve even done it. You should absolutely call out any shitty behavior that leads you to suspect they’ll do harm to others wither it’s rape, murder, or some other crime. By saying they already were a rapist or raised as a rapist you’re taking away their free agency and kind ironically saying it wasn’t their fault that’s just how they were raised.
That’s 100% not how that works. You’re getting into thought crime territory. You’re not a rapist until you rape. You’re not a murderer until you murder. You can’t accuse someone of something they might do.
There might not be any rapist at the party until they become one at that party. It’s not like they’re born a rapist. It’s a consequence of their own actions.
You really need to check your privilege.
And they just gave you ways they have given back. Get off your high horse and maybe you would see that. You don’t know that person’s spot in life. They might be doing the best they can. You’re speaking from a point of privilege to demand more.
Oh, it’s definitely that everything sucks.

I think millennials in the military had it first. The military couldn’t figure out why fighting pointless wars was causing more of their members to commit suicide.

Technology@lemmy.world•EV Charging Doesn't Need to Be as Fast as Gas, Ionna CEO SaysEnglish
5·3 days agoThat’s a weird goal. I’ve never thought about how long I’m taking at a gas station. If I’m just getting gas it’s a very efficient, straight forward process that I’ve never felt the need to time or rush.





I also preferred when we fought and hanged fascists instead of electing them.
