  • Without any evidence, it is more likely for someone claiming they’ve been raped to be saying the truth, rather than to be humiliating themselves for a fake accusation.

    You should believe rape victims (and not just women) whether there is evidence or not, because the way the world is right now makes it very unlikely for someone to make a fake accusation, while making it extremely hard for someone to legally prove that they’ve been raped. If someone is saying that they’ve been raped, in all likelihood they have been.

    Everytime you decide to “first look at the evidence”, you pick the side of an unfair system. You should implicitly believe a rape victim, and then you can think about the evidence at your leisure.

    Also, your strawman of changing “believe rape victims” into “believe everything a woman says without evidence” is a bit of a red flag. Might not have been intentional, so I’m telling you just in case.








  • Why are so many dumdums encouraging this?

    Other than the obviousness of the fact that there’s not any good reason to try, weed is known to cause a lot of issues for young people. Even medical cannabis is generally not recommended unless you’re pretty old, because the risks are not worth the effects.

    If you’re feeling the need to consume weed and alcohol that young, what you need is therapy, not to get high.




  • Assuming that you are not going to be cheating, you can have a deck of cards where you mark the back with a random number. You let the other player know which cards are marked with each number (ideally in a way that won’t let you memorize them).

    Then you just handle the cards. You shuffle, you pick the cards, and when you pick for the other player, you do not look at the cards, just at the numbers, that you communicate to them.

    This way, they know which cards they have without you knowing them, and you have a simple system.

    Obviously it’s very easy for you to cheat, but if it’s just friendly play there’s no reason for you to do so, and therefore for your friend to believe so.
