Look, I'm fine with punishment if it serves a purpose. But if you are trying to teach her to connect with her parents' values or respect her parents as people or at the very least empathize enough with them not to drug them against their volition, then juvie is not the way to go. She will likely just meet other…

I heard this particular case left a bad taste in his mouth.

I know we're supposed to mature and thoughtful and react to the issue of her age, but...Ondria?

Yeah, sticking this kid in juvie with a bunch of other young criminal minds is definitely going to put her back on the straight and narrow. Good call, there.

Ugh, that man is so vanilla.

Maybe it's all some desperate campaign to get out of her contract? Like the Stones writing "Schoolboy Blues" to piss off Decca.

Yeah, I though throwing shade was being witty at someone's expense in such a passive aggressive way that it is impossible for them to respond directly without looking like they're slightly crazy. I see nothing like that here.

I think it should also be acknowledged that clothing that complicated could only exist because of the social inequalities that forced some women to live in bondage to others.

Hehe.

I realize I do not actually know what this word "trashy" means.

I would much rather make fun of that hoodie-puffy-evening-vest.

Wait...how was Martha Burk et al responsible for delaying this from happening? Are you saying that the AN delayed changing their policy in order to not appear as though they were bowing to pressure from critics?

It's pretty insane how many people are responding to this with dead earnest holding-forth on breathing technique and phrasing as if they were official internet judges of vocal ability.

Strangely (and I acknowledge, very strangely), I find this kind of comforting.

I find your defensiveness very triggering. I suspect you are privileged.

Oh, ugh, she really is very, very young. My heart hurts a bit.

I feel like sous-viding is just a step away from microwaving.

Ugh, I feel like the Killers listened to the same bands I did, but chose to borrow all the worst bits.

Happy Kwanza!

Yes, I didn't realize many of them were much shorter than fashion models.
