But then of course I'm not a highly trained police officer...

Helpful! But they left out the most important tip - have white children.

The Office is absolutely brilliant at depicting casual racism and sexism. That's one of the things that Steve Carrell did so well- drawing the line between appropriate ad inappropriate and showing that even well-intentioned people (Like Michael) can say and do horrifyingly racist/sexist things.

We danced to "In My Life" by The Beatles because my dad is a massive Beatles fan.

I honestly think Warner Bros of all people has the right take on the debate

It's Sons of Anarchy.

It depends. It's becoming less and less common to ban them from a classroom- at my school, we were supposed to use them for occasional fact checking, calculating, etc. if you were caught using it for something else, it could be taken, but often wasn't. It basically had to do with the idea that integrating the…

What I'll miss is Katy Sagal playing as Gemma. If you took took Gemma's character out of the show and just listed out the things she had done and then told me that she died the way she did last night, I'd say that person was a schizophrenic, because no one who did all those awful things would die like that.

I don't think that many people still watch SoA.

THIS IS NOT WHAT I DIDN'T PAY FOR.

BUT THE SIMBALISM.

God, those puns are a catastrophe. They may be your pride and joy, but mane-ly they're just awful.

Yeah, people make their lives a lot more complicated when they attach extensive moral judgement to these types of things. Not sure if this is the case for this particular family, but I can think of several 8-year-old appropriate explanations for birth control, but they are all predicated on the idea that birth control…

Ad-supported games suck, yes, but 8 years old is hardly too young to learn about birth control. My daughter was 6 when she told me she wanted to take the little pills I take, because she didn't want a baby yet. I laughed and told her that her body wasn't able to have a baby yet* and that when it was, she could…

College is different, too, because you're not legally required to be there. If you mess up, you fail, and it's your problem, not the institution's.

At my school, we would just have one selfie per year. A professional photographer would actually come to the school and take the selfie, and then he would take a group selfie, with the whole class. My parents would then purchase the selfie. I never looked great in them. We didn't know how to do duck lips at that time.

So it's basically a Tamagotchi? I remember the first time mine died because I'd neglected to feed it and let the screen fill up with poop. I cried so hard my nose started bleeding. These fucking games are hazardous to kids' emotional health, man.

This thing I got for free isn't exactly as I want it to be! I'm outraged!

Apparently I'm a million years old, because I think that would be perfectly reasonable if the restriction were limited to school hours (meaning that selfies would be allowed during football games and the like). I wasn't allowed to have a cellphone in class at all when I was in school, but I can see there being room…

I agree. I have nothing against kids having cell phones on school grounds, but leaving the devices in their lockers during class time is reasonable. If a student needs to contact a parent or a parent needs to contact a student while classes are in session, the front office is an effective option. If you'll excuse me,…
