From NSVRC:

“Nearly 1 in 5 women (18.3%) and 1 in 71 men (1.4%) in the United States have been raped at some time in their lives, including completed forced penetration, attempted forced penetration, or alcohol/drug facilitated completed penetration.

An estimated 13% of women and 6% of men have experienced sexual coercion in their lifetime (i.e., unwanted sexual penetration after being pressured in a nonphysical way); and 27.2% of women and 11.7% of men have experienced unwanted sexual contact.

Great, so you understand now that sexual violence is actually a widespread problem & not an irrational fear. Glad to have helped educate.

Does this remind anyone else of House of Usher?

Vice is basically dead — Thousands of stories written over the past two decades could soon be deleted without any warning (nymag.com)

Vice is basically dead — Thousands of stories written over the past two decades could soon be deleted without any warning::CEO Bruce Dixon told staffers that Vice Media will lay off hundreds of employees and stop publishing stories on the site.

Could you explain more- so you want a la carte options, like pay on a per-article basis? And to be clear, you know that free high-quality print media has never been a thing historically, right? Like, you never could access all articles from the entire history of the NYTimes on demand for free, that was never a thing. The paper for that day was locked in a metal box you had to pay to open, and all you got to see was half the front page.

Or, you know, support libraries...

Libraries?

cheesebag ,

Can libraries not get subscriptions to news services for public access?

Libraries are physical media

Tell me you haven't actually been to a library in the last 15 years without telling me.

Have you not heard of Libby? Of Overdrive? Next thing you're gonna be telling me Libraries aren't a solution because not everyone can use microfiche...

Solidarity is everything

With the amount of leftist infighting, this line is actually hilarious
