“investigators determined that a faulty instrument reading forced an automated “safety feature”...”—could someone translate this in simpler, more specific terms please? what does this actually mean?

I totally understand your sentiment, and agree with a lot of what you are saying, but, it still doesn’t excuse him or make him innocent.

I believe there’s not way he didn’t know. Unless he was willfully ignorant because it benefitted him. The kid’s a idiot—by his own mother’s admission.

If you look at her instagram she doesn’t have one picture of herself on any kind of exercise machine, and it looks like she documents most of her life on there, so she doesn’t just have them pics of her exercising laying around. It’s also clearly stated in the indictment that the picture(s) were staged for the purpose…

Jack’s parents arranged from the beginning to have someone else take the ACT test for him and get him around “33-35" score. They said they needed his writing sample because he had taken it before (and i’m assuming got a much lower score). They had arranged for him to fly to Houston* for one day to appear to take the…

The exercise machine was a rowing one, and they set up a fake crew profile as well.

She posed for fake photos in order to pretend she was on a rowing team. She was also cc’d in at least one e-mail her mom sent asking the people helping her commit the fraud to have someone else fill out the application form for USC because Olivia basically was too dumb/lazy to figure it out and do it herself. This…

Call me cynical as well, but I wouldn’t be surprised. Kind of like a Paris Jackson situation, worrying about her “career” (and making light of MJ accusations) instead of the actual consequences it means (and has meant) for others.

I wonder if brands like Sephora and Amazon are embarrassed to have collaborated with her now, and If other brands will be put-off from sponsoring her in the future.

Where can we find the indictment? I’ve been looking but can’t find it. Can you please provide a link?

Yeah, it’s interesting how a worse case-scenario like that, could actually be the best case-scenario in this situation, ‘cause at least it would explain away a racist motive. But again, highly doubt it. One of the poc writers mentioned he didn’t think anything of being seated next to two other poc writers so it…

Yeah, I also don’t see why they would need to do that. Also I think in the example you gave, the actors would be aware of the reason why they were being separated. In this case it doesn’t seem the writer knew they were being segregated, and it really doesn’t benefit a show to do that—writing for a tv show is a very…

“Was there a creative reason or a social reason?”--Either way there is no good reason. 

now that’s a good joke ;)

Oh I have to clarify, I didn’t take your comment as mean, or critical, or w.e. I felt it was very lighthearted, I just wanted to offer my own view as well, but it wasn’t meant to disvalue, question, or criticize your comment. If it came off that way I apologize.

It’s kind of funny looking at the picture, you have to look very closely to notice there’s actually a man behind Kelly, restraining him. But, if you just glance at the picture though, it looks like it’s just a floating hand holding him back by the arm. One could almost imagine the mythical power of Oprah was reaching…

I didn’t watch it because his face and voice just trigger me now. But did Gayle ask about Aaliyah? Because that whole situation was the first time I heard about what’s now become his history of abusing young girls.

I’d say not jealous, just proud. She’s probably known Gayle’s been this strong all along, but more people can see that now.

You can hope for it, but it’s not guaranteed.

You really are not entitled to anything in a public space. I think people forget that because you’re in an enclosed space when on a plane, but it’s still a public space.
