I considered being extremely granular with the sexuality options (asexual but romantic, aromantic but sexual etc.) but decided I was over-engineering it and just went straight/gay/bi/other. Based on the responses I received I think it was a sensible decision.

His reasoning was significantly more convoluted than that:
During [Clinton's] deposition, he was asked "Have you ever had sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky, as that term is defined in Deposition Exhibit 1?" The definition reads as follows:
a person engages in ‘‘sexual relations’’ when the person knowingly engages in or causes contact with the genitalia, anus, groin, breast, inner thigh, or buttocks of any person with an intent to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person
On the basis of this definition, Clinton denied having had “sexual relations” with Lewinsky. He subsequently clarified: “I thought the definition included any activity by [me], where [I] was the actor and came in contact with those parts of the bodies” which had been explicitly listed (and “with an intent to gratify or arouse the sexual desire of any person”).
In other words, because Clinton had not touched Lewinsky’s genitalia, anus, groin etc. with an intent to gratify or arouse her sexual desire, he had not had “sexual relations” with her; but as Lewinsky had touched his genitalia, she had had sexual relations with him.

I'm not persuaded that the existence of people who break a rule is a good reason to abolish the rule.

At the risk of unmasking myself, you'd think so, but in the same way that a certain branch of the populace rounds bisexuals to straight or gay depending on their current relationship status, there's a pretty broad stroke who don't think you're poly if you're either fucking or seeking to fuck a side piece.
My understanding of monogamy is that it's a mutual arrangement, where two people both agree to be romantically and sexually exclusive with one another. "I'm going to be romantically or sexually exclusive with you, but I don't care whether you're exclusive with me" sounds... rather far removed from a conventional understanding of what "monogamy" is. I believe @ymeskhout once had a rather lengthy back-and-forth with Aella regarding her personal definition of what polygamy is, which seems to overlap with this person's conception of themselves as monogamous.
Wonder if there's enough information to point in direction of causation. I could imagine either a world where people who were cheated on were more likely to become poly (either in the charitable 'let's be extremely explicit about boundaries' or less charitable 'might as well get in on the action')
I had the same thought myself.

I strongly suspect that a man being pinned to the ground by six burly security guards and violently struggling throughout would end up with more external injuries compared to an old woman being smothered in her bed with a pillow.
Analysis is live now! Although you may have to wait for the mods to approve it.

A few weeks ago some Irish rent-a-cops suffocated a man to death.
Now sources have told The Irish Mirror that an initial post-mortem examination which took place this week has not found any signs of foul play - and no visible external injuries on Mr Sakila's body.

My understanding is that the autopsy has yet to determine if that was the cause of death.

Glad to hear you're feeling better. Last year I had Covid for probably the third or fourth time and it was some of the worst pain I'd ever experienced, just splitting headaches for days.

Brazilian women is "too overwhelmed" by living in a new country to be in a relationship, which is such bullshit because she just changed all her hinge photos.
In her defense, Brazilian women tend to be very promiscuous. Just because she doesn't want to be in a relationship doesn't mean she doesn't want to fuck lots of American boys. Also, I thought you'd already lost interest in her?

Indeed, there are two scenes in Goodfellas in which Tommy DeVito responds to comparably mild insults ("Now go home and get your fucking shine box", "Why don't you go fuck yourself, Tommy?") by outright murdering the people who voiced them. The point of these scenes is to establish that Tommy is a psycho.

I believe the videos recovered from Nowak's phone/Snapchat depict him calling Digwa a "bad man". I guess technically calling someone a "bad man" is an insult, although a laughably mild one. Even in the parallel woke universe in which calling a person of colour a "nigger" or a "Paki" constitutes such a grave insult to their character that they are entitled to murder you in retribution, "bad man" doesn't rise to that level of insult.

The term "fight", to my mind, implies that the two men were attacking each other. Likewise "fistfight" implies that both men were punching each other. I don't think "one man insults another man, to which the second man responds by physically assaulting the first man" can reasonably be characterised as a "fight". Despite Digwa's insistence that Nowak attacked him first and he was defending himself, he was unable to present any evidence that this was the case, and there were no cuts or bruises on his person at the time of his arrest.
So: I think the claim that "Nowak and Digwa got into a fistfight" is simply untrue. No one has presented any evidence that Nowak punched (or even tried to punch) Digwa. If you said "Nowak insulted Digwa, and Digwa responded by stabbing him", I'd have no objection.

One was a case of "two hotheads get into a fight at pub closing time, unfortunately someone is dead because someone else brought a knife to a fistfight".
What a despicably misleading gloss of the Nowak murder. There is zero evidence that Nowak assaulted Digwa, or that he was a "hothead".
Yeah, I think @100ProofTollBooth's interpretation was warranted.
