I agree. I like my lossless, so iTunes store and amazon digital downloads are out. I still by CDs (and in fact am rebuilding my substantially pirated library) because it's the most affordable way to get lossless albums. The premium you pay to download digital lossless is stupid. The investment in gear I'd need to…

I whole-heartedly disagree with you. You either want this kid to stop being bullied or you want him to be the poster-child for the bullied. You aren't going to get it both ways. His life is ruined thanks to his mother. You pick the hill you want to die on and she picked it for him. Sometimes you fight, sometimes…

Please, compare bullying to rape one more time. RAPE IS NOT THE SAME FUCKING THING AS BULLYING AND NEITHER IS THE VICTIM BLAMING. You cross an abysmally stupid line when you compare the two, because if I walk up to a rape victim and say "I know just what you're going through, you should just get over it because…

It doesn't matter how the data is stored because (unless I'm mistaken) it isn't tied to the user, just the demographic.

You're pretty sure? Regarding what law or laws? This isn't collecting photographs of minors. This is collecting keywords so they can target ads at that demographic. Like I said in another post, if you don't want your data collected for targeted ads, pay for your email service or build your own email server both…

"Education needs to be a safe space," she said.

Exactly. Nothing is free. If you don't want an email provider to use your information for targeted ads, pay for an email service or build your own damn email server.

Huh, it helped me when my parents took the time to listen and offer solutions. It also helped when the teacher offered solutions. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you, but he shouldn't have to suffer more because this is the hill his mother wants him to die on.

No, it's a solution, just not a solution you or his mother like. It was probably the best way to minimize the bullying of the child. Instead, his mother made it a giant issue and probably guaranteed that he will be bullied at whichever school he attends. Since teachers are not babysitters, school budgets keep…

And I really fucking wish everyone would stop comparing this to victim blaming rape victims. Otherwise, I had the most horrible childhood ever and being bullied was just like rape. I actively had my head punched from behind on a regular basis, and worse. But bullying is not the equivalent of rape and this was not…

If you're comparing bullying to rape again, I could use your support. I was bullied all through school. It was just like rape, I assure you.

Gross? Really? Their solution was the most economic for the safety of Grayson and for that they should not have to apologize. The worst decision made in this whole débâcle was his mother going to the press. He's now miss two weeks of school and every kid with an internet connection now knows his face. I don't…

Coincidentally, it's the most appropriate use of the song Radioactive I've seen.

I liked the guy who got speared. I know his character was a trope, but it's a trope I enjoy.

I found Clarke and the love interest to be likeable characters. Clarke reminds me of Julia Stiles in 10 Things I Hate About You (which is probably on purpose). Octavia's personality was grating from the get-go. Her brother's motives for his crime were not introduced, but he is, so far, a Grade-A asshole. What I…

Do they still sell censored albums? Because that's not what it's called on the album.

Well, to be fair, it is true. There is no crying in baseball.

If you did it in a bar, you could be arrested for it. It only makes sense that the same types of threats were punishable online. At least you can face your attacker in a bar and know his face. Online, it could be anyone. Hell, they could live in the next apartment over.

What happened to their ear mounted cameras?
