There was a period of time when MeToo was at it's height that there was very little nuance in how people reacted to any abusive behavior. Probably related to a dam bursting releasing emotions that had been pent up with these things going unpunished, and mostly ignored, for so long. And you're right, during this time people who should have apologized and shown some sort of behavior that made us believe it was sincere should have been able to return to public life after a period in the wilderness instead of being treated the same (socially, obviously they didn't get the same legal treatment) as Weinstein and Cosby.

I don't think your theory is tinfoil hat territory at all. I think a majority of people could go either way in life, on a wide range of things. Most people don't really give anything a lot of thought, they just fall into patterns dictated by their environment. If someone in their formative years is exposed to something that tickles their sense of unfairness and that leads them into shittier areas of the Internet, a person that could have ended up a nice, normal, boring person can be turned into a piece of shit.

In case anyone else is curious: here

I see that as a bullshit copout for people that don't want to care about people. Some of the nicest people I know are neuro-divergent, they just need to put a little more effort into figuring out what effects their actions have.

Just because you lack empathy doesn't mean you don't, or can't, care about people. It just means you don't have an automatic, involuntary response to other people's emotions. You can still care about people and desire good outcomes for them and want your actions to be positive for other people.

Neuro-divergence that reduces, or eliminates the capacity for empathy makes that harder because you don't get that immediate feedback, you have to figure out if what you're doing has the desired effect in other ways. Which makes it harder, but not impossible. And definitely doesn't prevent you from wanting to do it in the first place.

If you don't care about other people, you're just an asshole. Stop blaming it on neuro-divergence.

I do, my wife does, a couple Trekkie buddies at work do.

All you whining, terminally online dweebs need to learn to speak for yourselves.

I'm hoping it's a joke.

Maybe someone said "make a stupid generic teen drama poster and watch people lose their shit."

I like all Trek. (To preempt any whatabout responses, here) I consistently downvote and dismiss all "NuTrek" whiners. I don't even like the term. And don't even get me started on the "The Orville is the only good/real Trek in the last blah blah blah" MFers. But this has me a little worried. Is Tilly going to be the least annoying part of the show?

Please be a joke.

"What possible circumstance?"

He was good looking (or good enough for her that night), easy, available, and in her line of sight when she decided she wanted some. Their lack of any future relationship shows she just hit it and quit it.

Male "heroes" bang treacherous ass all the time and no one says shit. Why can't a "good guy" who's a woman decide she wants some shady pipe laid?

This was completely in character for her.

Post the same question in a comm that uses another language that you speak and see what answers you get there.

Why do you have to put it on women to make "good" decisions? They don't have to keep themselves pure, they can do what they want, just like men. You say he just wants to get his dick wet? Sometimes a "strong independent woman" just wants to get her pussy stuffed and she knows the fuc boi is easy.

Maybe what is was meant to invoke wasn't a strong reaction, but a realization that this is different society where women don't have to conform to the same sexuality repressing gender norms, and going forward we shouldn't assume the characters have the same puritanical hangups we're used to

Yeah when I first heard about Resurrection I went all Annie Wilkes for about ten seconds but then I was just stoked for more Dexter. I liked the first season but I felt bad for poor Batista.

I actually looked for one in °C but the only ones I found had big stupid display screens. I just wanted one with 5-6 simple presets without adding unnecessary points of failure.

To be fair, I didn't look that hard though. I wasn't willing to spend that much time and the place I order my tea from labels all the recommended temps in °F anyway.

And make sure to get one with different temperature settings, not just boil.

Being able to do 180° exactly instead of just guessing has been a game changer for white tea.

HOAs maybe? Mine would lose their shit if people started having these things "visible over the porch wall."
