It’s fair to say that Clinton wasn’t a good role model and broke his oath to his wife (so long as they weren’t in an open relationship, which I doubt they were).
Concerning the age difference: I think this is where we have a disagreement. Even if the brain is still developing at 22, a 22 year old is an adult. If you make a bad decision as an adult, I don’t think the excuse that your brain is still developing holds. Monica isn’t being judged for a crime (at least as far as DC law goes), but she’s being socially judged for being with a married man sexually, which we know is wrong in our culture.

You’ve made some pretty good points about how disproportionate the response has been. I agree that the proportion was definitely unfair.

I think it’s alright to hold both of them accountable for infidelity in a social sense. Clinton being the more responsible as the man in the marriage, but Monica knew he was married. I can’t see a moral argument to not hold her accountable for this as well (again, socially, not legally). They were both adults. I don’t think the age difference or power dynamic lets either of them off of the hook, even though it would make the then-President comparatively more in the wrong.
I think it’s more alright to have punished Clinton for lying (under oath, right?). Even if I don’t think it made sense to ask him about sexual relations, he still lied about it. I don’t think there’s any legal issue with what Monica did.
I’m glad she’s speaking up against bullying nowadays.
I didn’t follow each update on this situation while it was going on, so if you think I missed an important point that would change my mind, I’m open to considering it.

They’re part of the Old Testament, which pulls from Jewish scripture, but it’s all Abrahamic to me. They should post the Beatitudes if they really want to keep things Christian-specific, but they won’t. Why? Just read them (and the corresponding Woes in Luke) and you’ll see. The Wikipedia article should be enough: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatitudes

Exactly. You have no clue why they’re speeding either. Sure it could be some a-hole, but it could also be someone with a medical situation, or someone that’s about to poop their pants.
When I was younger I used to stay in the lane. Now I move over if it’s safe, and let them pass. Not worth the chance of accidentally upsetting a psycho.

Games going for that uncanny valley aesthetic and not being nearly as efficient. I don’t want a 1000W PSU just to run my graphics card.

I use AI almost daily as a software engineer. I like it because I’m training to jump into infosec, and the job market is going to be amazing as all this exploitable AI code keeps hitting prod.

It’s cool the hate on the US but there’s a reason it was the world super power for decades.
The military industrial complex?

I’ve seen way too many of these cars, both in my town and in other states. I always want to know what could compel this vibe but I keep my distance, and I’ve never seen a driver.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 5 months ago:
Jumped to linux with a new laptop, but not gaming on it. It’s fine for what I need. My old machine will be for gaming only.
