I've seen a few episodes, though I've been looking more into Kitchen Nightmares, Bar Rescue, and Knife Fight. There's always the "Hollywood" aspect, but they do install and instill proper business practices and such. The last one shows interesting and outrageous ways to use weird ingredients in delicious ways, and studying the knife techniques helps my own. I actually made a recipe for Sweet and Spicy Chicken en Papillote for class (which I believe I mentioned before). Pretty delicious.

Edit: I love the smell of banned bot. It smells like I'm destroying more and more annoyances to everyone's good time.

That one sounds like it would be much more intense if it wasn't about food! No Hell's Kitchen though?

Valkyria Chronicles. A+ game. Except the bullshit one hit kill boss battle which ended up dragging on for 5 hours because I was unaware there was a save function.

If somebody has sex with a prostitute against her will, will it be considered rape or shop lifting?

Hmm never thought of that, I think it would still be considered rape.

Philosophically, it'd be considered both.

Legally, it's rape, and she's guilty of prostitution.

I never understood what's so morally abhorrent about prostitution.

Rape.

Simply put, Wikipedia defines Rape as:

"Rape is a type of sexual assault usually involving sexual intercourse or other forms of sexual penetration perpetrated against a person without that person's consent."

Status, clothing, profession, and the like can't justify the action.

Oh, I don't mean it as I have a problem with it. It's literally illegal to be a prostitute. It's weird, considering porn is legal and they're essentially doing the same thing. But yeah, if she's a prostitute, she's breaking the law.

it's more solicitation, and it makes the city look shitty.

But the main issue isn't prostitution itself, but more who makes money off of it. One of the reasons Weed is illegal has nothing to do with the drug, it's the people that sell it.

Weed may be illegal in whatever dump you live.

Not in my states, cowboy.

Just ask Jutsu, he's the resident chief of talent, or Mod Recruiter.

Inbox him with a full bio, and a picture of yourself so we can verify you're not a bot. Preferably shirtless, if possible.

You're a little late for me to nominate you for next mod.
