It's true that sex wasn't paid for. The role of pressure in this case is complicated.
If anyone is curious to read Daniels' own words on this, check out the pdf court transcripts for May 7th and May 9th.
The transcripts are long, but interesting, and worth reading if you have a few hours. As a normie, I was only interested in the sex stuff. The facts surrounding documents seem pretty clear.
"We don't understand. Why aren't people simply searching for Taylor Swift"
I think "they're just words, get over it" is a good argument in favour of pronoun declaration, no?
The moral of the stone soup story is that greedy people can and should be tricked into sharing. Everything old is new again.
Oh look, the sequel to birth certificate.
As soon as I learned that Crank wasn't cinéma vérité, I couldn't take Jason Statham seriously ever again.
Anyone have a link to the actual police report? Asking for a friend.
So bad it's good. Personally, I like the description text on the video that makes it seem like the teen who was autopsied is speaking:
An autopsy of a Massachusetts teen who died after participating in a spicy tortilla chip challenge says he died from eating a lot of chile pepper extract, and 14-old Harris Wolobah had a congenital heart defect.
Editorially, it's a hilarious article. Though, respect to journalists out there. This might be a situation of, "Johnson, I need that tortilla chip death article on my desk in 5 minutes".
edit: Per the correction in the article, I guess AP style guidelines dictate 'chile' instead of 'chili'. It looks super weird to me!
'Killed her 14 month old dog for misbehaving' is the clicky headline. But the subtext is, this person might be the republican running mate, and her story is presented as a parable about how killing is 'a job that needs to be done'. It's not crazy to put those pieces together and be anxious about the direction they point in.
I can see where you're coming from. You're right that her story is divisive. I think that's the objective. It's an engineered, populist, fascist move to present the story in the way that she does. No one in the public eye writes that kind of thing in a book and expects it to fly under the radar.
You're also right that there's a strong rural/urban ideological division. Best way to fix that I think is to talk to each other more, IRL, and try to honestly understand the perspectives of others, especially if they're different from our own. My 2¢.
Time to dust off the tennis ball walker.
How? What country is going to jump at the chance to take in a 70 year old immigrant?
