My takeaway from all this is that the entertainment industry is brutal, especially to women. Also, Tommy Mottola sounds like a terrible person.

I have worked with the UNH library before, for my job. I can assure you that they are amazing and also desperately in need of funds, as are most university libraries. This is a horrible decision and UNH deserves all the public shame they are receiving over it.

That’s like when you see the red carpet from the celebs’ point of view – I can’t imagine having that many people staring at me (or taking pictures and shouting) all at once. That right there is nightmare fuel.

From another angle:

Kids want to be older; adults want to be younger.

There’s no consideration for the child’s privacy here. His well-being is clearly secondary to the object lesson he can provide in the eyes of this department.

Missing from the FB post: links to resources people can call to report/help addicts, decency, empathy.

So public shaming is ok with you. What’s next? Shall we also bring back public stonings?

It’s worse than that. I think the cops are trying to say “Look at what we deal with every day, aren’t we heroes? Don’t you feel bad for us?” They are using a child’s circumstance to elevate themselves, that is highly cynical.

That’s fucked. Heroin is destroying lives and this is the response? Not advocating good rehab programs, not railing against a rehab industry that exists only to Hoover up government money by keeping people hooked for as long as possible and relapsing as often as possible...nope, let’s just post photos of people at…

Yikes. My family always had a lot of disposable cameras/camcorders around on our family outings. I’d actually be pretty upset if I found out that my dad was getting paid to take us camping and film our pathetic attempts at fishing by some fucking brand rather than doing it simply because he loved spending time with us…

I have no problem with this.

What were you wearing when you were stabbed, that’s going to affect my decision.

Now I wanna see this movie, so clearly this publicity stunt was brilliant

This is a pretty cool thing. I wish that I worked with more women because this would not play out well in IRL. I work with mostly men, older men at that, and I have just resorted to ignoring what they say during meetings and then pardoning my memory loss by offering my own ideas. It works for me but obviously is not…

But whats even better is that her OFFLINE activity is also what gave them concern. Not many parents nowadays notice any of that stuff.

Of course it does. Men’s abilities to get boners is a human rights issues.

Women of California: go one full month without using a tampon, maxi pad, or diva cup. You know know those ratty sweatpants and snug but ugly grandma panties you only wear when you have your period? Wear them to work and during your daily errands while you have your monthly visitor, so as not to ruin your nice clothes.…

But Viagra remains exempt in California Hopefully somebody will orchestrate a “bleed in” where we sit down and menstruate all over his chairs.

Parent thumbs-up: Monitoring your 14-year-old’s online activity when you notice suspicious behavior.
