I don't know your case, but the term "rape" has been legally expanded a lot from what we might imagine when we hear the word "rape" (forceful sexual act).

Legally it can mean a case where a man met a women in a bar, she was not drunk and wanted to go home with him. She explicitly consented. Later it ends up that she was using a fake ID to get into the bar, she was only 17.9 years old in a state where the age of consent is 18. Or alternatively, the guy recently moved a block over. In his old location the age of consent was less than 18, but now he moved and he committed rape (aka, the opinion that got Richard Stallman to step down).

And no, there is no exception for mistaking the age. https://scholarlycommons.law.wlu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?art...


YMMV but I don't think in my state either of those things would be tried as just "rape".

If there's no force/threats/drugs etc involved and the minor consents, it's charged as statutory rape which is different than capital-R rape.

Statutory rape can be a felony, but in cases like an 18 year old and a 17.5 year old having sex it's a misdemeanor and realistically 99.999% of the time it happens there are no charges


I don't know it it helps but one of the reasons that the nra was against banning guns from people on the no fly list was that there was no legal process to get in or off the list. Am angry bureaucrat can put anyone (including senators) on the list for whatever reason.

So, based on that I guess that there is a non insignificant change that you will be put on the no fly list

Except it doesn't. Situation a: Facebook knows what I did last night. Result: I get ads tailored to what I did.

Situation b: Mom and Dad knows what I did last night. Result: I get grounded.


Guess what a teenager cares about more, coincidentally it's also the joke you just missed


There is a high probability that you did something wrong last night. /s


Do you dry yourself before putting your pants on? If so how?


This is the most important. Use toilet paper before and after water use to ensure cleanness.


The hand towel


Or TP to dry.


I carry a portable electric hair dryer. It's rechargable and lasts about a day.


imgur is another reason to want that feature.

Wait until you go abroad and instead of saying "find the street signs" it says something in Japanese with no way of changing the language.
