    The UK now? Splendid. It was otherwise not a great day for me but things are looking up.

    "First officer's log, supplemental. It was only 9 am and I already had to get out my trombone. Also, those twins in Stellar Cartography promised to stop by my quarters later. Things are looking up for Commander Riker! And also little Ensign Riker, if you know what I mean, computer."

    First the IL-76 plane crashes in Russia, then the Russian liberation force destroys a couple of BMPs inside of Russia and occupy a town and now this? What a wonderful day, thank you Universe.

    Elon must be big mad today.

    I’m curious about the specific charges facing these assholes. What is the legal definition of “sexual aggression?” I don’t see aggression defined in the UK’s sexual assault laws. Is that a Romanian thing?

    My guess is a mistranslation of "sexual assault" going from English to Romanian and back.

    That would make sense. That’s not a word that shows up in UK law from what I can tell, but the press are all over it. When you search for the term, you get a billion Andre Tate stories, and no much else.

    Seems like a bad translation, then lazy journalism maybe?

    Good for him. Prisons are filled with Alpha Males, not betas or stupid women.

    They're stupid, but also dangerously influential. They're important people to keep an eye on. This is news.

    Sexual aggression is illegal in the UK? That sounds pretty boring, ngl.

    Totally unrelated but your username was the longest ingredient I could find on a shampoo bottle as a child and I tried to figure out how to say it on my own and still couldn't tell you if I'm actually pronouncing it correctly. I'm so happy it made an impression on somebody else hahaha
