I don't see how those are plus-sized, in any way. I don't really pay attention to fashion and stuff, but wouldn't the "normal" market just have no one in it if the above are plus-sized?

Hence the problem with using "plus sized" as a terminology.

Essentially these women are considered too big for "normal" modeling, hence why they have to be labeled as plus sized. There are many plus sized models much bigger than these, but there's a reason the term is problematic.

If I bring my girlfriend with me while we're scuba diving and she's on her period, will we get eaten by sharks?

That depends. Can you swim faster than her?

Varies by state. There are 1 party consent states and 2 party consent states.

Neither are mutually exclusive actions.

You can record someone, use it for evidence, they get sued/charged afterwards for illegally recording them.

If you were a cop, then the evidence (was) dismissible if acquired illegally. But if you're a citizen, anything you have is fair game if provided to authorities.

The UK isn't my country, but I feel like upgrading Trident was the smart choice. I'm against war and nuclear weapons mean war, but they can also mean peace if they keep discouraging wars. Only the US have used nuclear weapons so far.

When would we ever use Trident?


Hopefully never. Nuclear weapons are also for defense. I think they serve this purpose very well. Otherwise, I'm against their use as aggression.

Edit: Imagine Trident is abandoned. What will you do against Russia, China, North Korea, etc?

What would a nuclear weapon do to help us against North Korea? The only time we could possibly justify using one would be a total war to the death of one of the two civilizations and North Korea doesn't have many regional conflicts with the UK.

Consider this hypothetical. There is a cold war between two large blocs which collectively cover the globe. Each has enough nuclear weapons to completely obliterate the other and each vows annihilation if the other attacks. One day you hear reports that the other bloc has launched and that in 30 minutes your entire civilization, spanning half the globe, will be utterly destroyed. The question at this point isn't "can you stop it?", you're all going to die, it's over, the question is "do you still launch your own counterstrike?". I would argue no. It doesn't matter at this point to you, you're all dead and so is your entire civilization, all you can do is upgrade that to the entire of humanity. From a game theory perspective you want the enemy to believe you would fire nukes out of spite, even when they couldn't save you, even if it were to destroy the world, but from a practical standpoint it is never the rational choice.

you have a fail hypothetical. if you have nukes to "completely obliterate the other block" and "your civilization, spanning half the globe, will be utterly destroyed" it means that, by the logic of how nukes work, you'll destroy the whole globe.
so, face with total extinction you also fire your nukes because why would you leave your nukes as legacy to whatever monkey comes next?.

Edit: but even if magic is real and your exact scenario happens, you still launch your counterstrike.



Care to elaborate on the bolded part? what logic of how the nukes work mandates that you can only destroy all of human civilization with them, and not only say the american continents worth of civilization?
Obviously, there will be adverse effects for the entire world, especially with globalism and what not, but it's not like there is some quirky physics that automatically makes the whole planet automatically uninhabitable.

How much nuking before the end?
Where can I find some kind of study about this? Especially about the "only nuke on participant" scenario. (not the sponsored and published by yx hippie organization kind)
I got nothing.

Yes, but the scenario is not the one talked about there.

The question there was originally: There are two blocks, both of which have the nuclear capacity to annihilate the other. You see the other guy launching. There is nothing to stop the missiles. You are now dead, and your civilisation destroyed. Do you launch yours to also destroy the other guy?

Not talking about the pregame, where you want to make the other guy not launch with the threat of also annihilating them. The situation is done. The missiles have been launched. Do you destroy the remaining half of humanity out of revenge, or do you not do that and give humanity a chance, even if it is the people that destroyed and murdered you.

Edit: And now the question is "Even if you don't launch, are the nukes the other guy used to destroy you enough to also destroy their civilization through effects like global radiation and nuclear winter?"

My fiancee got into an accident with someone driving on an expired license. She is fine, it was not her fault. What are the likely outcomes for the asshat who hit her? He provided valid insurance of the owner of the car, but his own license was possibly not valid from what I know.

Edit: And now the question is "Even if you don't launch, are the nukes the other guy used to destroy you enough to also destroy their civilization through effects like global radiation and nuclear winter?"

we assume the blocks are somewhat evenly matched - territorial spread, number of inhabitants, tech ... etc.

- do they have bunkers?; to destroy those you'd need a second and maybe third nuclear strike. (it complicates things to much so it's better they don't exist).
- define "destroyed civilization" and "annihilation". does it mean 99.9% of people have to be killed?(i left a 0.1% for possible mutant superhero shenanigans).
based on that definition you start calculating:
- find out the surface you need to cover with nukes.
- the range in which a nuke has a 99% mortality rate; compensate for obstacles.
- realize you'd need bazillion of mega-tonnes; wave goodbye to earth.

if by "destroyed civilization+annihilation" one means merely demoralizing your opponent with some half assed genocide, then there's no point in talking.
And my fury stands ready. I bring all your plans to nought. My bleak heart beats steady. 'Tis you whom I have sought.

He will get whatever punishment there is for driving with a expired license as well as whatever punishment there is for whatever fault it is. The judge will also likely be less lenient on the second offense based on the first. The owner of the cars insurance will try to claim that they are not responsible and pay out your wife then probably sue asshat for the money.

I like the sound of that, feel a bit sorry for the policy holder, but not so sorry.
