Szilvia Berki was unable to even go to the police to report her sexual assault unless she herself wanted to end up in jail.

Brand and his than partner Jemima Goldsmith claimed she caused them anxiety and distress.

She never went to a full trial - only a summary judgment, never had a lawyer, never got to defend herself and was silenced for life

It will forever be in my memory how I told a girl "your brother looks like he plays CS2, football, and is either in the police or military" and she laughed histerically, because apparently I nailed all FOUR

    Hell yeah, intuition! People seem to think it’s being judgmental or making assumptions, but it’s not. I’ve always been quiet and observant. This is the byproduct of that. I read body language, things they say, etc.

    Nothing wrong with intuition. I think it's saved my life more than once. It's also been pretty wrong more than a couple of times. The problem with intuition is if you think "I'm feeling something about this" is some kind of perfect system.
