Google the #Metoo movement. It is significant movement regarding sexual abuse and began within the last year.

now i get your point but not the movement.
if assaulted hit them back and stop the action. if its mental or verbal then get in their face and stop them.
if you acquiesce then no one can help you when you are a willing victim.
i do feel sorry for them though but not able to help them.

Yes, I'm shy.

I have a 200 word allocation per week. If I go over that, I have to be silent and away from people or I start to become an *******. I also often go a week without talking to anyone, so I do get a bit of rollover words.

Unless I'm drinking. At that point, I have 220 words per week. That's a 10% bonus!

I'm lying about being that quiet (and I seldom lurk into ******* territory), but ugh... I'd rather not have "a talk" with her at a ****ing bar. I told her to go ahead and contact me and the phone lies dormant, which is whatever.

Ray, you don't want to dive too much into that whole MeToo thing. Just trust me on that one.

I would be okay with me too if it wasn't presumption of guilt and automatically nuking people's carer. Of course people saw that happening and had no problems grinding axes. It ended up toxic with psychopaths on each side.

I just wanted to let everyone know that it's 109 degree in Los Angeles right now. It feels like a million furnaces blew up on 4th of July.

wtf?

Wow. First day it's been under 90 here in about a week. Long week, too, it seems.

Absolutely perfect here today as well. 75 and sunny with a nice breeze, it's good to give the A/C a day off

Just stopped in to say that this is the greatest baseball song ever written. At one time, we only had radio and names in the box score.

Damn I miss perusing the boxscores in the morning paper. Lots more info on the internet but it loses a lot of the mystique. That video makes me wanna watch Ken Burns baseball right now! As a kid I would practically memorize the baseball encyclopedia. I'll never forget the first baseball game I ever went to at age 5. It was the White Sox versus the Red Sox and my father leaned into me said "See this guy batting now? That's Ted Williams he's the best hitter there ever was."

Not to be pendantic (except for being totally pedantic obv) but this one was well into the 90s.

One of my favourite songs by DD though.

It's 9pm in Los Angeles and it's still 100 degrees.

I think I brought Austin out west with me.
