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

If you look at the study that proposed Alpha males in wolf population, it only occurred when studying wolves in captivity. They do not occur in nature.

So the only way to become Alpha male is to get incarcerated.

Glad they have been arrested.

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?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

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?

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.

Don't unnecessarily remind me that that shitstain exists.

What color is YOUR prison jump suit?

[–] [email protected] 158 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I thought this guy was already in prison...

[–] [email protected] 88 points 8 months ago

I think I remember reading he was basically released awaiting trial. I had honestly given up on seeing any justice in this case, so this is a positive development.

"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."

Ahhhhh it's been a while since I saw one of these :)

Riker would 100% have already promoted his dick to at least lieutenant

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

[–] [email protected] 35 points 8 months ago

Hopefully this is just a harbinger for the rest of the day.
