This is my concern. Not that he wants to manipulate her to harm her, but that he wants to "save her". Her being subjected to that pressure could seriously damage her relationship with her family.

It's really disappointing that there is so much opposition to the existence of sogi minority people. My position is that rainbow crosswalks should not be installed in places where people with minority sogi are not safe.
It's sort of a self selection. We shouldn't tell people with minority sogi they are safe and welcome if they are not.
At least Removed Richard keeps it as an adjective instead of making it a verb.
Yeah! I'd worry about directly incentivizng men to sexually harass women, conversely: providing harassers the cover of "fame seeking" to obscure genuine harassment.
Stacy and her mom can get the fountain working. They've got it going on.
If anything we need more Wayne. Buckets of Wayne, piles of Wayne, FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE!
I'm very curious about the alternative hypothesis.
It has a weight inside at the top. Before being knocked is balanced, then the the weight 'falls' forward causing the tire to seem to be rolling up the ramp. But the center of gravity is going down.
I don't think anybody is suggesting that Tesla had a sign that says "heil" in Tesla's font manufactured and installed on their factory next to their name. It's a projection by a protestor to draw attention to Musk's Nazism.
there is NO way the US would allow that without things getting much, much uglier.
Or they could you know reverse the tariffs that caused the counter measures...
I think you're neglecting the Manifest Destiny period of westward expansion, and you're limiting your consideration to the paradigm of colonial empire. The American empire is different, it's a neo-colonial empire.
I'm a rank amateur but in my limited understanding of history it seems similar to the ancient Persian empire: basically a system of client states each with a permitted level of autonomy within a framework of tribute/favorable trade relations. Enforced with a network of garrisons.
When the CIA backs a coup and installs a friendly government that signs a defense pact, and makes it easy for American capital to thrive, what would you call that state other than a client state?
That's just my understanding as a lay person though, how do you understand it?
I recall from elementary game theory that the ability to provably bind oneself to an action (ie make a promise you can't back out of) is extremely valuable in negotiation. It is hugely important in our day to day lives (loans, service contracts etc), but also politics.
The US ability to have people believe their promises has been shredded by Trump (Eg Iran Nuclear Treaty). We just renegotiated NAFTA to the USMCA, and now all of a sudden it's no good? How can we trust that this deal will last more than 15 minutes? How can we have any sort of partnership with an organization like this?
