Please explain why you think I am wrong.

And that comes across as a "True Scotsman" logical fallacy, by suggesting that psychological manipulation is erased by distance.

Given that the case in question revolves around a guy supposedly manipulating women, I don't think it's unreasonable for the OP to frame the statement in terms of female victims. But I agree that abuse in general needs to be prevented.

There is a big difference between having a conversation with someone that touches on things vs actively seeking out and exploiting those things.

Lewin was an idiot, but if he actively groomed these victims, then he was not framed.

In the whole history of people being psychologically manipulated and abused, they *all* could have stopped it simply by saying no, and walking away. Yet they don't. Kinda suggests that doing so is very difficult to do, and that there are things in play that you are not crediting.

What he is saying is that people with psychological issues are more vulnerable to manipulation that those without them.

If you read the full article, towards the end it talks about this particular woman having various emotion issues including abandonment. It would seem that the prof in question exploited theses weaknesses in order to groom the woman into sending the naked pics etc.

In addition the article talks about various victims being from cultures where speaking out is not the done thing.

So while no-one was physically compelled to send anything, it sure sounds as if they were psychologically compelled.

After SNL, I always think about McGruber now.

First of all FFS put a link to the actual company in the the summary, and don;t just link to a blog talking about it. How hard is that to do? Local Motors

Ok .. its a 3d printed body of a car that slips onto a pre-built electric car chassis (from Renault according to their FAQ). But the big question I have is about this statement in the FAQ:

What I don't know about US car regulations is what is needed to certify a car as being able to drive on the road. The classic manufacturers basically get a particular model certified and then stamp out millions that conform to that, and have QA departments that verify what they produce is what the expect to be producing.

But in this case the car is effectively being made from scratch each time on a small jobbing basis. So does that mean that every instance of one of theses cars needs to be certified on a per car basis?

And now they are starting to burn the evidence that one particular class of devices ever existed. In another year we'll all be saying "RT, what was that?"

Is there Irony in a vehicle named after a collection of boats, towing an actual boat?

Which, given that there has been moves to add noise to electric vehicles, is art imitating life.

As soon as you said Buell I saw the resemblance. It makes me wonder how much of the deign came from a place like Buell and how much was HD in house.

What I love about the videos on the Livewire website is that they make it sound a bit like Luke Skywalker's Land speeder. Which to me is cool in its own little way.
