It doesn’t have to be a rape situation. In fact most of the time it isn’t. That doesn’t make the system any better.
You are presupposing the that you can know with certainty how she will react given the situation before any consensual sex occurs. You can’t. Throw in sperm jacking and lying about birth control and it gets even worse. And those are not crimes. Heck there have been case where a woman had sex with an underage boy, gets pregnant, and the kid is still out on child support. So I’m that case a statutory rape victim is still on the hook.
I’m not saying no child support. If you want to be a part of that child’s life and have parental rights you should be expected to support the child. Again, authority linked with responsibility.
This may be an unpopular opinion, maybe not but I believe in balance and linking authority with responsibility.
In this case if she can choose to abort unilaterally, then men should have the option to terminate parental rights and not be on the hook for support.
If she can choose to be a parent or not post conception, then so should men.
Haven't done this in a while. With the big up move today I added 4 calendars (5 days apart) centered at 4355C. This flattens my deltas and gives more upside room in exchange for some downside risk. Going into a weekend I think this is a good idea. The only risk today is a big pullback before close. We'll see.

I’m not a Trump voter but how can you can consider yourself a credible news source and not cover the poll leading Presidential candidate? It would be one thing if he were polling in the single digits, but he’s not only in first place in his own party but he’s polling ahead of Biden. To not cover anyone in that position would simply show extreme bias. What are you afraid of? If he’s that horrible, let him speak and let everyone see and hear how horrible he is. That’s how elections are supposed to work. The media is free to any commentary they like about him and in the case of an interview they can ask whatever they like. That’s what a free press should do.
Or do you just want to squash speech with which you do not agree? That’s far more fascist that anything Trump has actually done.
My money is on Scalise, but I think Jordan is the only declared candidate. I say Scalise since Gaetz has said he’d support him and he’s already in leadership so the caucus may get behind him. But we’ll see.
She wants a traditional man but doesn’t want to be a traditional woman. Yes, that’s basically wanting one’s cake and eating it too.
Go long box wine and cat litter, folks.
You aren’t being asked what women can bring to the table. You are being asked what you specifically bring to the table. You want your independence in a relationship, you want to be an equal. That makes the question relevant. If you were willing to take on the traditional female role, then the answer would be obvious and the question would not be necessary. The fact that you don’t want that makes it a legit question.
I went back and forth a bit on whether to do this trade this week but I kept it to a 2-lot to keep it small. I put on an 11-day put diagonal with the shorts at 4315P and the longs at 4325P. If we keep doing down it will be fine. If we pop, I'll consider adding a call diagonal to flatten it out and give more room. Will look at a bigger trade likely on Weds.

That is a good recipe for expatriation of the very wealthy. The thing about these kinds of crazy tax rates is that they are for show to the masses. No one actually pays them.
I held out and around a year and a half ago Verizon offered me a decent upgrade deal so I took it. Of course they apply the discount monthly so it doesn’t make sense to pay off the phone early, but that’s fine.
If your phone is that old, call them or go into a store and see if they’ll cut you a deal. You should be a free agent with a 4 year old phone. Find a deal for new customers at a competitor and get them to match it. If your phone is paid off, they might do it.
Look for small independent theaters that usually show art films. Many of them will have film series for classic movies, sometimes genre based. Sometimes a bunch over a weekend, other times a monthly series.
But how does one determine the “profit”?
You’ve got it backwards. Inflationary forces (like massive money printing, increases taxes/fees/regulations/etc. and restrictive zoning laws) drive up demand, increase costs, and suppress supply which drives up prices. The landlord is responding to market forces and should try to get whatever he can for his property. His cut of the rent is not a fixed variable.
A quick update. I think I found a way to do it. I'm in the process of testing it now. No promises. Like I said, if it works I'll set up a separate bot that will do this. Testing could be a few days..and it might not work. We'll see.
Given the situation I got a vasectomy at age 28 (many years ago now as I’m on my 50s) so as to avoid the trap. I may have made a different had the system been different.
