If there's enough lateral space to do it in.

When I was a child we didn't have bike lanes, and biking to school was always an interesting endeavor. Thus I will always take off a bit of speed and give cyclists a good bit of space. But if there's two or more bikes side by side, then they can take up enough road that you can't pass them without crossing entirely into the other lane. And then they're just a big pain as slow moving tractors and other farm equipment, except they're even more annoying because they could just go single file.

Cyclists going side by side are inconsiderate assholes and this comes from a guy who bikes to work daily.

I've got another addition to my comment, but it does warrant more attention than an edit.

So I've found a Danish language interview on this topic, from earlier this year, so before the man in this story was arrested.

From https://soundvenue.com/film/2023/05/nej-danske-skuespillere-er-ikke-selv-uden-om-det-naar-deres-sexscener-bliver-delt-paa-reddit-522555

Generationsforskelle til trods lægger 57-årige Andrea Vagn Jensen og 23-årige Malaika Berenth Mosendane vægt på, at samtykket ryger, når klippene bliver taget ud af kontekst. Det samme fortæller Angela Bundalovic, der for nylig var aktuel i ‘Copenhagen Cowboy’, til DR:

»Jeg oplever det som en krænkelse, at nogen bruger et klip eller billede af mig i en kontekst, jeg ikke er gået med til. For mig hersker der ingen tvivl om at der bliver begået noget forkert mod skuespillernes frihed og materialets ophavsretshavere«.

Translated by yours truly:

Generational differences aside 57yo Andrea Vagn Jensen and 23yo Malaika Berenth Mosendane emphasizes that the consent is lost when the clips are removed from their context. It's the same for Angela Bundalovic, who recently appeared in ‘Copenhagen Cowboy’, who tells DR [Danish national radio and TV]:

»I experience it as a violation, when someone uses a clip or still frame in a context, that I haven't agreed to. In my mind there's no doubt, that the freedom of the actors is being wronged as well as the copyright holders of the material«.

The police even has a statement on the matter which I suggest that you run through your preferred translation service https://politi.dk/national-enhed-for-saerlig-kriminalitet/nyhedsliste/39-aarig-anholdt-for-at-dele-noegenscener-fra-film/2024/09/03

Will the US respond? Yes! By reimbursing the ammunition used

My wife's been reading this book that references this. As well so many other cases of men assuming genders or disregarding women in science, among other things. It's crazy. "hmm that skeleton has wide hips, but it is also buried with a sword, so it's a man". Female physiology traits in a man is way more plausible, than a woman being buried with a sword ... wtf?!?

Anyway, the book is next on my reading list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invisible_Women:_Exposing_Data_Bias_in_a_World_Designed_for_Men

I'm pretty sure she means molested as in abused or misused.

On a side note, as to the molesting aspect, I can't see how this is any different than 14yo me having a couple of VHS tapes where the boob-parts were more worn than the rest of the tape. Or going frame by frame on the Taxi 2 DVD in the scene where Petra does kung fu in a skirt. Or golden child where the mythical woman behind the curtain is revealed. Or the shower/locker room scene in robocop. Or the bath scene in coming to America. Or the playboy mansion in Beverly Hills cop 2.... Anyway I digress.

If you appear naked in a movie, expect teenage boys and creepy men to jerk off to you. Not the perfect world would be, I know. In the perfect world everyone would respect that the actress was only nude as an artistic choice, and it wasn't meant to be spank bank material.

Copyright on the other hand, I thought that was just a civil law matter. Wonder why the guy was arrested.

Edit: Oh shit, good thing that I don't sail the seven seas, and definitely never has. 2 years ago a Danish guy got 30 days probation for doing less than some of my friends did in high school and university.

I like the fairphone idea, I really do, and I realize that maintaining the fairphone ecosystem is expensive... But! 550€ on sale for a 128GB storage and 6GB RAM phone? GTFO. Update promises are great, but a small company promising 7 years? I hope that the fairphone company survives that long, and even longer, but I wouldn't be basing my phone purchase on that promise.

For my usage I can get comparable phones for the same cost per day, but with less of an initial investment, and without the risk of time.

Depends on where your sensors are and how much dispersion the dish has. If you are flying a surveillance plane into the "beam" then you can passively spot the ship.

I here I initially only had an issue with the phrasing "Each missile [...] per missile".

Well, first aid for an arterial bleeding is to "stuff a finger in the hole and get the person to lay down on the floor". I suppose that could still be relevant here.. If you have a cock ring I guess you could apply it as a tourniquet

How many drinks a week?

One! One shelf

Mighty big leap to assume that whoever made that map hasn't surveyed young people and taken the observed distribution into account.

I definitely didn't grow up in North America. And the culture in which I live, gender equality may be more prevalent.

I'm not a stranger to the idiom of picking on someone your own size. Thing is, though: I don't think anyone should be picking on anybody else, at all.

While I don't disagree that there are physiological differences between men and women, jumping to the conclusion, that women can't handle themselves, is just propagating the sexual stereotypes of our past generations, which has lead to women being considered weak and by extension thereof worth less than men.

Women are not weak by default, but keep telling a girl that she's not able to do the same things as the boys, keep telling the girl to wear pink dresses and keep her hair long, keep telling her to play with dolls and let her bother's matchbox cars and BB gun be. Keep telling her, that good girls don't play wild games, and that little girl will start to believe you more than she believes in herself.

Through my job I've gotten know female carpenters, painters, electricians, machinists, mechanics, butchers, truck drivers, and smiths. All trades typically considered to be male trades, but these young women I've met, have been as motivated, as big assets for their employers, and as hard working, as their male colleagues.

Telling a woman that you won't hit her, no matter what she does to you, is keeping her down, locked into that inane stereotypical gender role.

And if you don't buy my shoelace analogy, then how about this: a guy tells you "oh no, I wouldn't dream of hitting you, not under any circumstance. You're too weak and defenseless, it wouldn't be fair." How would you like that? I'd bet you'd like that guy to fuck right off with his superior attitude.
