Why do you think she doesn’t clearly understand the magnitude of her actions as well as a 25 year old who murders while robbing a store? You could say that about everyone who commits a crime because, logically - the magnitude of the punishment and crimes almost always exceed whatever “benefit” the criminal received.

There’s a process to determine whether a particular individual is mature enough to understand what they did wrong before trying them as an adult. For murder, though, generally pretty immature people understand that it’s wrong.

For anyone under 18 - they take into account maturity, especially individual maturity to understand particular acts before trying as an adult. So for something like shoplifting or the typical crap teenagers do, and if the 16 year old is a slow maturer, they’d go typical 16 year olds aren’t mature enough to understand…

If you read the linked articles, she actually did kill the man herself. Shot him directly in the chest. This was straight up murder, not felony murder. (bit sexist to assume the guy did it)

Though, on the flip side it also makes it harder for younger male actors to get started in their careers - with 20 year old actors being considered “too young” to play a high schooler.

A writer who created prison officers who made an inmate fester in their own urine, and another prison officer who made an inmate eat a live rat, and other prison officers who turn a blind eye, and a prison officer in a leadership row openly coach officers to avoid blame, is someone who “believes . . . prison officers…

Yes, the idea that it is rogue “malicious racist cops” who “are actually in the KKK” who kill or injure people is just an easy way to avoid facing reality, and to deflect blame from the policies and culture that lead to it. It feels nice and comfortable to just blame “monsters” while telling yourself you’re better…

Yes, which is why it’s important that the show put it out there. Protesting the wrong thing, at the wrong time, without understanding the full story, and thinking you’re right just because you’re raging can often do more harm than good.

I get that, though - only one of them was truly awful (baby rat guy). I don’t think Piscatelli was a veteran. The other vets basically just acted like every other guard, like Mendez, Coates, Luschek ignoring a bleeding inmate etc. I think the show did a decent job of actually not aggrandizing the veterans, and I don’t…

I think part of the important commentary is that while Taystee came to the conclusion that shielding the guard meant there wasn’t going to be justice for her friend - Caputo’s actions actually worked towards getting real justice.

I think that the “nice” guard doing it actually brings forth one of the most important points in the season. In all of the commentary about african americans getting killed by police, there is always a focus on both sides of demonizing either the victim, or the police officer - which as we see in the MCC planning -…

I think part of it - to have a real-life explanation, and I think they made a point about it during the conference meeting about why they didn’t hire veterans before - is that these guards are not supposed to be a cross-section of veterans. They are the veterans who’ve had untreated mental issues, who really do have…

I think it’s an important message, that, in all of the real-life incidents there’s a reason there’s so much pushback on either side. CO Bailey may have killed Poussey, but it’s not because he was a bad person, racist, misogynistic, blind with power or anything. The real villains are the people above him and the…

Or bring a phone. Problem solved.

Ah yes, good point, that as well - as people get older, they tend to have less time for constant messaging, twittering, etc. so don’t have as many notification hogs.

My theory is that it is a habit holdover from being recently in high school/college etc.

Well for one thing, not everyone survived. I’m sure there have been plenty of instances of say a child getting an allergic reaction or something and an inexperienced babysitter not knowing what to do.

And people had kids get seriously ill with an ill-equipped baby sitter at home for decades without phones. They did not live.

Commissions are in essence meant to be profit sharing, letting the employee share a part of the money they make from selling a product. If it gets returned, there’s no profit to be shared.

The i4 is further down, you have to scroll to near the bottom of the list (it’s not up with the diesel 4, but right below the V6. Weird way to list it on the website though, it’s sort of hidden.
