This answer is from Kagi’s search summary: I don’t know how accurate it may or may not be:
As of 2024, the specific U.S. states that only define rape as requiring penis insertion are:
These states have not updated their legal definitions of rape to include other forms of sexual penetration or oral sex, which can lead to underreporting and inadequate prosecution of sexual assault cases. It is important to note that federal law and many other states have broader definitions of rape that encompass various forms of non-consensual sexual contact.
A suggestion, since you don’t like the plot:
It is a visually stunning movie, try watching it just for the cinematography. IMO… every frame could be a photograph. Here - I’ll grab one, totally random. You can do this close to anywhere in the movie, take a frame - hang it on a wall:

Bonus… I could seriously do this all day and come up with amazing shots: https://i.imgur.com/gmhfZ7k.png
I don’t really mind…
Maybe I’m the only one, but I wasn’t enamored by his take on Max. Fury Road is an absolutely fantastic movie and is easily in my top-10 right now, but I credit that much more to George Miller, Charlize, and Nicholas Hoult. Max seemed like almost an afterthought.
I’ve been using a Briggs and Riley (checked bag)since 2006 for quarterly business trips (including overseas: it’s been to England, Ireland, India, France, Norway, Russia). Still going strong, nothing’s ever broken.
I think it was ~$350 when I bought it. I just looked, and the equivalent model now goes for $750. God-damn, inflation’s a bitch.
No, not the website: the git project.
If you want a web app, try redact.dev (yes, there’s a paid version where you can download your old messages, but the free one wipes out your posts (with random text) for free.
I spent a chunk of this afternoon nuking my old reddit posts. Thousands and thousands of posts… thank goodness for shreddit.

If the GOP wants, they can swoop in and pay a small number of people to vote her to the top. Mind you, I don’t know that the GOP actually wants her to continue on the national stage?
If you’re having trouble watching dark shows/movies – might be time to jump to OLED. Silo looked fantastic.
Same here - not sure if this is a cloudflare problem, but i’ve been getting these more and more. I’m on a Mac, I’m pretty darn sure I don’t have a virus, so I don’t know what’s going on.
Never did get to the article, btw.
I was around: it was a depressing time (and I even liked Carter):
• The Iran hostage situation was ever-present. It was nightly news, to the point that all the major broadcasts started out with “this is day #X of the hostage situation”.
• Carter tried to rescue the hostages, and failed badly - 8 servicemen died, and this was just a few months before the election.
• Carter pissed off a lot of people by boycotting the 1980 Olympics (boycotting USSR’s invasion of Afghanistan - Ironic in that the US eventually did 20 as well years later). Lots of atheletes spoke out, their only or last time to make it to the Olympics. Turning the Olympics into a political weapon left a bad taste in general.
• Inflation rates were incredibly high, I think 12%-ish.
• Housing interest was through the roof, heading towards 13% (it eventually hit 18% under Reagan, I think)
• We were in the beginnings of a severe recession.
• Carter was never very charismatic - he was smart guy, but gave pretty boring speeches (IMO)
And then you have Reagan show up… optimistic, charismatic, and people just wanted change.
