I don't know your case, but the term "rape" has been legally expanded a lot from what we might imagine when we hear the word "rape" (forceful sexual act).

Legally it can mean a case where a man met a women in a bar, she was not drunk and wanted to go home with him. She explicitly consented. Later it ends up that she was using a fake ID to get into the bar, she was only 17.9 years old in a state where the age of consent is 18. Or alternatively, the guy recently moved a block over. In his old location the age of consent was less than 18, but now he moved and he committed rape (aka, the opinion that got Richard Stallman to step down).

And no, there is no exception for mistaking the age. https://scholarlycommons.law.wlu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?art...

I don't know it it helps but one of the reasons that the nra was against banning guns from people on the no fly list was that there was no legal process to get in or off the list. Am angry bureaucrat can put anyone (including senators) on the list for whatever reason.

So, based on that I guess that there is a non insignificant change that you will be put on the no fly list

If you want a good alternative try xmpp. It is basically email but for chat. Completely free, open source, distributed. And, you can have as many as you want with no need for a phone number.

Except it doesn't. Situation a: Facebook knows what I did last night. Result: I get ads tailored to what I did.

Situation b: Mom and Dad knows what I did last night. Result: I get grounded.

I don't know how to say it kindly but there is a difference between "what" type of people the car killed. If the fatality was another rule abiding driver on the road or a pedestrian crossing at a crosswalk that would be really bad. However if it was someone not following the safety rules by j walking, then that person accepted upon themselves a higher probability of being in an accident. When making laws, for the most part, they are for the benefit of law abiding people.

You are right, a better analogy would be if a person tried to cross in the middle of a random track segment. The woman didn't cross at a crosswalk so that part of road was not designated to pedestrians at all.

Cars (at lease autonomous ones) signal before changing lanes and slowing down.

I think that flashing lights is too annoying, but forcing cars that drive in the night to have lights sounds like a reasonable (and existent) rule.

Is there a way to go to a phycologist on the condition that all of the notes and recommendations are kept secret and after all of the treatment the records are destroyed? There would still be an issue if the agents directly ask the applicant if they were at a phycologist, but it would prevent the agents from seeing everything.

Maine's law is pretty weak. All one has to do is register more than a day before the election and then they don't need an ID. I don't know how easy it is to register in Maine, but California is laughably easy. Just check the boxes saying that you don't have an ID, SSN, address or phone number, and then you can register with very little information.

So if I understand correctly all that the right to work laws do is forbid companies from making a contract that requires them to hire exclusively from one union. I was under the impression that a majority of the workers of a company can unionise and then require every other worker in the company to join the union.

If you are correct then I can see why right to work laws are not so good. However, keep in mind that there are many laws preventing people from entering certain contracts. Such as laws forbidding a person to work at a company if the company doesn't want to pay minimum wage, or offering to give someone some money but requiring that they pay back a large amount in a set amount of time.
