sadly, every time we move towards this, people start screaming about "palladium" and "dee-arr-ehm" and "but then I won't be able to install Snarling Sealion!"

I really don't get the idea of young women getting drunk in bars. Or worse, going home with men they met that evening. Do they really expect to not be raped? These women are victims of something very cruel. Someone needs to pay for that tra
