To add context this isn't a hypothetical situation. In New York Two cops Eddie Martins and Richard Hall raped an 18 year old woman they had arrested for marijuana possession. They detained a group of teens, and let all of them go except for the woman who they then handcuffed and raped in the back of their police van. They then dropped her off in another location. She went to a hospital where a rape kit found semen matching the DNA of detectives Eddie Martins and Richard Hall. Both officers claimed that they did have sex with her, but it was consensual. Because it wasn't specifically illegal for police to have sex with someone they detained they were able to accept a plea deal for taking bribes and official misconduct where they got 5 years probation with no jail time. Because of this case New York unanimously passed a new law (SB S7708) making it so that a person “under arrest, detention or otherwise in actual custody” cannot consent to sex. In any other state that doesn't have a similar law it is essentially legal (as in it is not specifically illegal) for police to rape someone they arrested.

I didn't understand the hate Sucker Punch got until I found out that the theatrical release was cut down to a PG-13 movie. To make it PG-13 they had to cut the core themes from the movie since they were not PG-13 appropriate.

I had only watched the unrated directors cut and never saw the theatrical version so any time I talked about this movie people had no idea what I was talking about. The story and supporting scenes were completely gutted and that's why people say the movie didn't have a good story - it was removed.

I have been making stews lately. Takes a while to cook, but most of that time is inactive. About 20 minutes to get it started and an additional 15 minutes as it cooks. Makes a lot of food. Ingredients are simple and can be adjusted to your preference and for what is available for you. I use beef for the meat. Toss it in flour and sear it olive oil to get a good char. Take the meat out add onion and use the water that sweats from the onion to loosen the chard on the bottom of the pan from the beef. Add Garlic then tomato paste, rosemary thyme and pepper. I use better than bullion for the broth. Return the meat to the pot and let that cook at a low simmer for an hour or two. Then I add potatoes, carrots, peas, and corn. Each vegetable has its own cook time so I add them in stages. Potatoes take 40 minutes so I add them first, wait 10 minutes then add carrrots (needs 30 mintes), wait 15 minutes then add the peas and corn. 15 more minutes and it is done. Add salt to taste but that will depend on how salty your broth is and how salty you like your food. I often do need to add any salt beyond what is in the better than bullion beef broth.

I use 1-1.5lb of beef, 1.5lb potato, 1lb carrots. 1 onion, 12oz corn 12oz peas so it makes a lot of food. The quantities are just based on package sizes that are readily available. Reheats in a microwave in 1-2 minutes depending on potion size.

The largest cost is the beef but that can be swapped for another meat or for vegetarian options try a lentil stew. The rest of the bulk comes from vegetables that are very cheap.

The recipe is based on an older version of the Chunky Beef Stew recipe from budget bytes. https://www.budgetbytes.com/slow-cooker-rosemary-garlic-beef-stew-slow-cooker/
