One thing that I kept coming back to while I was reading the accusations was the idea of enthusiastic consent.
We need to be clear that saying "I'm not interested" for an hour and then finally saying "okay" is not consent, it's manipulation. When you say "no" or "I'm tired" it is not okay for your partner to interpret that as "you really mean yes." As an individual, you need to sit down and think about your boundaries and set clear limits. Don't be afraid to enforce those boundaries if you feel safe enough to do so. Recognize that if someone crosses your line of comfort and safety that they are in the wrong, not you. You get to decide what you are comfortable with and they have to respect it. Situations like the ones involved in Alex Day's incidents are not okay because he crossed personal boundaries. He only cared about his needs and desires and not those of his partners. Good partners don't do that.
I also think we need to think about the effect that we have on our friends and acquaintances around us. We need to stand up against this type of behavior before it escalates into serious crimes. Here is a great resource for scripts you can use when someone you know does something uncomfortable. This is a great resource if you are worried about being a creeper. Finally, an example or two of why we shouldn't just sweep accusations like this under rug for the sake of harmony.
I am a Nerdfighter and will not tolerate any member of our community who uses their power and influence against other members. Those people forgot to be awesome, but we don't have to.
*Edited to add more resources.

Fun comic!
A book with some really great information
Wow. You're super insecure about this, aren't you? I can't think of any other reason you would be so condescending when someone disagrees with you.
Of course there are many different types of bread, but to say that bread usually has dairy in it is just factually incorrect. Bread cooked with just flour, water, salt and yeast is absolutely delicious. It is the epitome of European bread (or, as we in the west self-centredly call it, bread). Maybe you enjoy it more with extra ingredients, and I'm not going to say you're wrong for doing so. I'm not going to call your bread "taste-less".
What you're doing is pretending that the culinary history of bread doesn't exist, because you're trying to prove someone wrong. Acting as if the bread you learned to cook is the only way that professionals cook is, frankly, astonishing.
Here's a book written by a professional: Flour, Water, Salt, Yeast. I'm sure you can guess why it's called that.
Here's a book by the French Culinary Institute: The Fundamental Techniques of Classic Bread Baking. Here's one of the reviews that they list under praise:
> "To make a perfect loaf of bread, the baker needs just five essential ingredients: flour, water, salt, yeast—and this indispensable book!”
>—Iacopo Falai, Owner of Falai, Caffe Falai, and Falai Panetteria"
Of course, these people must be amateurs compared to your experience of:
> hundreds of loaves of bread
Reading two books at the moment, one audio and one aloud.
How to Save a Life by Sara Zarr is the book my wife is reading to me. The main characters are odd and hard to like, and it alternates between them each chapter, but it makes for a compelling story.
The Raven Boys by Maggie Steifvater is what we are listening to together as an audiobook, and woooo boy. It's very gothic and creepy, and I'm loving it. All of the characters have been enjoyable so far, it's almost as if Poe or Shelley decided to write YA. I'm hooked, and my wife is enjoying the fact that she just finished The Raven King, so she knows what I have in store for me.
The authros are bnot in an specific order, but the books under each one are in suggested reading order for leisure maximization:
Douglas Adams
Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels
Aldous Huxley
I would also add to deltatag's choir about George Orwell's 1984.

Still one of the best books on the subject.
Agreed. You definitely need to read it, then pick up The Te of Piglet.
Ah, yeah, I did see that Kristof op/ed. I don't necessarily agree with some of his conclusions but it was still an interesting read, and he does make the point that it's more complicated than it seems.
Also, Kristof cites the 2006 book Who Really Cares, which makes the argument that conservatives tend to donate more to charitable causes than liberals and where, I suspect, Takuwind is basing their claim on. I'd have to read the book to have a meaningful opinion on it, although I do want to point out that an academic paper published in 2013 disputes some of the findings in the book.
I would like to suggest the excellent book Fool Moon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fool-Moon-Dresden-Files-Book/dp/0356500284/ref=pd_bxgy_14_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=J7FJCH72ZMB80D764CVT
There's actually several comic books credited to him: http://www.amazon.com/Wonderful-World-Horses-Coloring-Nature/dp/0486444651/ref=sr_1_7?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1395472451&sr=1-7
I got mine off of amazon but I know it's also available at Barns & Noble, Target,Walmart,
Indiebound, Books-A-Million, and the scholastic website. Amazon is cheapest if you order online, particularly if you have prime.
That's such a hard question! I mean, there are just so many really awesome animals to choose from... I'm particularly fond of lionfish, since I got my PhD studying them. But blue-ringed octopus are just so cute (and, you know, deadly). And then there are the wasps that manipulate minds with their venom, which is just so badass. This is probably why I ended up writing a whole book on venomous critters... :)
And it is a bit frustrating! Both the scientist and writer in me get annoyed with a lack of precision. I wrote a whole blog post about it to get out my frustration.

Does this mean that existentialists believe in a meaning for life? Or that meaning is irrelevant for life to exist? Or that Humans create meaning in order to live? Or that meaning creates Humans to exist?
Also, is it wrong to think that Humans are an unfortunate byproduct of our genes trying to survive (see Dawkin's book )
1984 actually, but having it banned across the entire continent is a good thing.
This book thoroughly details the issue. There were practically no restrictions at all before the EU regulations. How you think a quota is causing more damage than no regulations is beyond me.
