That’s EXACTLY how my boss made fun of him afterwards.

I agree. My 9-year-old has a tablet and a phone, but no, she doesn’t have Facebook or email or anything like that. “But my friend does!” “But your friend is breaking the law. It is illegal for people under 13" and that is the end of that.

Unless he’s soon to be 13, tell him no because that’s supposed to be the age limit for facebook. I’m all for using the parental controls to block the app and the mobile site. I try not to judge parents because I am not one but I give a serious side eye to some of my friends that let their 9 year olds run loose on…

I watched the episode, and it seemed to me that Nicole’s parents basically want to use (can’t think of a better word) their daughter’s story to encourage other parents to pay more attention to their kids’ internet activities. The dad said that his older daughter sent him screenshots from Nicole’s instagram and kik and…

My god. I just...I think that’s enough internet for today. I’m gonna vomit I think. Between this and Cleveland fucking sending Tamir Rice’s family a BILL FOR THE AMBULANCE I just can’t.

I have been saying basically that since the Al Gore debacle.

“But he got it back and continued to communicate with...”

The superdelegates’ votes seem to benefit both candidates the way they’d prefer to benefit. They make Clinton appear more vetted, trusted by the party leaders to win the general election. They make Sanders appear like the populist underdog, taking a stand against a corruptible system.

Why can’t it be both??

It’s not hard work and long hours that explain the success of diverse companies — and I have no doubt that the women who are able to make it to the top work harder and longer than the men on average. It’s the diversity itself that produces innovation and profits. Think different: the most successful companies in…

What kills me is that they admitted to drugging the girl, but with what? With the internet it IS easy to buy rohypnol or knock-out drugs, but those kind of ‘customers’ aren’t the types to test the drugs in their own chemistry sets to check if they ARE the real deal (and not some counterfeit or other chemical that…

Makes you wonder if they traveled to Croatia for the express purpose of finding victims to drug and rape.

The problem now is that they don’t appear to be particularly ashamed of what they’ve done. It’d stand to reason that since these colossal pieces of shit fail to recognize that what they did was abhorrent, they also can’t feel remorse. They’re proud of it. And every time one of these shitbags is allowed to walk free…

Also compared directly to this case here:

This story is awful on so many levels, but what’s really upsetting me most is the fact that these dudes are completely unapologetic, and yet they’re being released back into the public. They are a public safety hazard.

I’m glad you’ve brought this up. I couldn’t believe it when I read the story last week. For people who can’t access the newspaper article (paywalled), here’s a summary: https://au.news.yahoo.com/nsw/a/30724520…

OK, you’re clearly enthusiastic and I was going to let this go, but I see you’re ejaculating all over the comments with this spunk so I can’t.

I need this to stop. I need these things to stop happening. Every time I read an article like this, I feel like I’m being crushed, so I turn away, I stop coming here for awhile, I stop reading. But I know the stories are still here, still happening, one after another after another, and these are just the crimes that…

That is the worst part isn’t it? I GET why she took the money. It’s SOMETHING an admission of something as opposed to the horror of a trial that could have ended in nothing. UGH. This is really where we are, isn’t it?

Yeah I can too. I lost about ten years of my life emotionally recovering from my assault. I missed going to college at the normal time kids go to college. When I did go I already had the usual debt that one has in their late twenties. Car payment, credit card debt from emergency situations, etc and my parents spent…
