The Battery Conservation Paradox

The decision faced when prompted with a low battery on a device such as a phone or ipod you wish to use later. Brought on by the fear that by going through the energy-consuming act of turning off the device you may actually use the last of the battery you are trying to conserve.

As Jenny needed her phone to call a cab later but had minimal battery left, she was faced with the Battery Conservation Paradox. Did she dare attempt to turn off her phone lest it die completely?

Sexual Assault/Battery

Unwanted physical contact of a sexual nature.

Hym "If someone commits an act of sexual assault/battery by, oh I don't know, putting their dick on your shoulder, you should press charges against them immediately. That's LITERALLY sexual battery. Press charges and have them imprisoned so that their 2nd amendment rights are taken away FOREVER. And, if it's in the workplace, sue them and take their money IN ADDITION TO pressing charges criminally for the blatant act of sexual battery against you. Felons don't deserve 2nd amendment rights. And I'm committed to ensuring that their second amendment rights are taken from them. If you have been sexually battered... Go to the police. The statue of limitations is up to 10 YEARS. So, if a know sexual batterer, hasn't been imprisoned for secual battery yet. You can do that now. He committed a crime against you and you deserve justice."
