It is not necessarily illegal means, but simply means that the government do not want to expose in open court. Perhaps this is because they are illegal, or perhaps revealing the source of intelligence could compromise an active intelligence

You are literally calling most people in the world 'plebs'. What is wrong with you?

Is that supposed to be an insult? It's not very good.

If you are white, cis and male, you need to understand how that affects positively how society treats you. Because society treats you better than any other group. Then you need to think about how that shapes your opinions so that you can un

Just because little girls like it, doesn't mean it isn't problematic.

I don't think you've read much PUA material. A lot of it is about trying to have sex with a partner who does not (at least initaially) want to have sex. Escalating physically until they say no, lying and saying you'll stop an

>Consent is assumed in the situation because of all the stuff leading up to it. Like the getting the number, the going out on dates, talking a lot, and finally ending up alone with them in their or your own residence. Consent should neve

No you are misreading it. The author is saying do not think that she does not want to have sex. As in, get rid of any doubt in your mind.

Here you go: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:40tT3ne... Search for 'permission' to find him directly telling the reader not to ask for consent.

This is a direct quote from a guide written by the author of the guide under discussion: Never, ever, ever, wait for a SIGN before you escalate! You will miss out on the vast majority of chances if you sit around waiting for SIGNS. Men are

I am not shutting down the debate. I am not declaring anyone a monster. I am merely pointing out that if you are defending the guide, you are defending a sexual assault manual. That is the reality of the situation.

Many HN commenters do not understand, nor want to understand, the reality of the experiences of marginalised groups.

The whole premise of The Little Mermaid is paternalistic and problematic.

Yes of course I have. I have also read the guides on reddit where he tells the reader to sexually assault their partner.

Are you actually arguing that if a woman has touched a penis in her life before, she is consenting to touching all future penises? Either you mean that or your writing is appalling.

brilliant analogy apart from the bit where this guide actually does advocate sexual assault.

Sorry, but if you're using a Disney film as an example of a good portrayal of women, you've already lost.

Yes, because there is something intrinsically wrong with these guides.

HN is ground zero for privilege denying wealthy cis white men.

Right, but it's now harder to hide bad design with your aesthetics.

Do you really think that removing the 'rich Corinthian leather' (which Steve Jobs loved ) from iCal is a bad thing? If anything, I think the real world textures are more childish.

You have always been able to deny calls using the power button on top. Presumably that method is now compulsory.

The new visual language means design is more important. You can't hide bad design with gloss and shadows. This is obviously bad for the Dribble crowd who often seem to favour style over substance, making the common mistake that design

If such an option did exist, no way this app would be cause to use it. There are many other weather apps which have similar use of animation, such as Magical Weather. This app is not particularly unique or innovative.

I very much doubt the app reviewers have any better access to Apple executives than you or I. They are like call centre staff.

How would your browser choice affect that?

if I asked traveline to give me the data so that I could measure how late my buses are, they would decline No they would not. They will give the data to anyone. They didn't even want my name before they gave me test access of up to 1000 A
