Jammy. Real pain to clean, though I've heard you can do it in a dishwasher on cold without the soap

I would guess they were using this as a rhetorical device to emphasise how much they dislike Trump. I don't think they're actually planning on voting for the guy

There's a pretty obvious difference between a kid who's 12, and someone you could reasonably mistake for being an adult (UK age of consent is 16).

Dunno about you, but when I was 19 the thought of raping a child never crossed my mind. He's spent less than a year in prison, and hasn't repented for what he did. Redemption has to at the very least come with an understanding that what he did was wrong.

Edit: slightly more than a year; 13 months

You could well beat a pro poker player in a hand -- point is you're never beating them over the course of a game.

Really interesting -- thanks for sharing!

Whether you're able to take a point depends on how much of the game/sport depends on chance. At one end of the spectrum, chess is minimal percentage dependent on chance; you're never beating Carlsen in a match (though nor is 99.9999% of the population!), but on the other (e.g. poker) there's a big element of luck, and the skill element is knowing how to play to your best odds.

One of the nice things about the internet is that people are able to peer-peer share life experiences that vary so completely from one another. Polygamy for me is something I know wouldn't work, but I value hearing the experiences of those for whom it does, and a lot of the lessons (a key one being recognising jealousy within yourself early) they have to teach.

No, I think it's because you took a dismissive tone towards media that other people enjoy, which is bound to rub people up the wrong way.

Love me some rugby sevens -- the France-Fiji men's final was chef's kiss, and seeing Canada's women go so far was also a delight.

Also had one eye on any racket sports
