Yes, false rape accusations happen. Run the protocol anyway. I’ve heard that perhaps the military has the highest number of ‘em. True or not, RUN THE PROTOCOL ANYWAY. Because in 15 years of investigating rape accusations, I can count those that panned out as false on one hand. Meanwhile, the one time I almost skipped the protocol, the one time I almost didn’t believe a petty officer, because I was naive as an investigator and a young woman, because her commanding officer described her as “a party girl, always late, always out drinking, don’t bother with this one”, she turned out to be the victim of one of the most brutal assaults I’ve ever investigated. She shouldn’t have still been -alive-, let alone up and making the accusation. So let me repeat: five false accounts in fifteen years. And one time I almost failed a woman ‘cause of the bullshit way it’s normal to talk about us. Take your shipmates’ word, and then run the protocol. Every. Single. Time.

There is this iPhone app for Virgin media that contains a remote that allows you to control your TiVo box.

My brother is currently in the living room watching tv, I am in the dinning room with my iPhone remote. Every time he turns the tv on I turn it off. I can just hear him shouting and getting angrier and angrier because he had no idea what the fuck is going on. 

This is the best thing i’ve ever done. 10/10 would recommend.

so there was this post — I think the rest is pretty self-explanatory (heads up for early-onset Alzheimer’s)

&read rose’s take on it while you’re at it

The neighborhood is a quiet one, which is perfectly fine with 22 year-old Vanessa and her young nephew, Jake. She goes into the city every so often for her journalism work, but it’s always a relief to return home to the gentle suburb mostly comprised of the elderly.

Their neighbors, however, aren’t that old at all. As far as Vanessa can tell, the two men living next door that occasionally take afternoon walks with their arms linked are only around their mid- to late-forties. She has never met them, has only seen them every once in a while — and every time, she smiles, simply because they seem so at peace with each other.
