that's what I use it for too. It's like Instagram but pics that are too dumb or pointless to save and more often for only a few recipients.

lol... I'm pretty sure he's trolling everyone. I don't like him at all; I've always found him creepy and not particularly amazing at acting. But this sure is getting his name in the news and it doesn't seem like he's having a mental breakdown or anything. So my bet is this is all planned and he think it's hilarious.

Is Florida really as crazy as the headlines make it seem? I've never been there but it seems like all the totally batshit stuff happens there. Like not just crime, but like wtf are you on stuff. Or maybe it's just confirmation bias.

I agree. If she had been male or a lot younger, I don't think this would even be news. We like to think of a 93 year old woman as nice and sweet, but the reality is any person of any age of any gender or demographic can be violent. We shouldn't discriminate to say a certain group is more violent, so we also shouldn't

That's why I really can't blame cops for using force if they really are threatened with a gun. I couldn't imagine seeing all that and having to be on edge constantly and be responsible for not only staying alive in such situations on a regular basis, but keeping other people safe too. I am absolutely for

Yeah I definitely don't think it makes sense to blame her too much, because people make errors in judgement and I'm sure she'll be more careful next time because that would be so scary, even as a non-parent! But yeah it does seem weird to just leave a 3 year old outside like that. Now just turning your back for a few

It says he admitted she didn't say yes. That means he's admitting to rape to me. I'm pretty shocked he actually said that; to me that's as definitive as you're going to get without an actual trial. So normally I'd agree, but not when it's saying he admitted there was no consent.

Can they really do anything about him transferring? It sounds like they completely messed up the whole process and the witness thing and time they took to get her a hearing is completely unacceptable, but I don't quite understand how they are responsible for him going to another school. Is there something schools can

Maybe I'm just not into clothes enough or it's because I'm on the smaller size breast wise, but what kind of shirt could you not wear a bra with? I just let straps show if it's a spaghetti strap shirt. I would love to just not wear a bra now and then though. It'd be so comfortable. I'm just worried it would be seen as

oh yeah I personally wouldn't even do that. I know a lot of people do it, but it seems pretty risky and too much for a kid that age. I was just thinking at least it'd be slightly better than totally alone, although still pretty far from ideal. But yeah, I agree that it's probably not the best situation. I had friends

I have to agree. Under no circumstances would I feel guilty for not doing this just because a charity is involved. I doubt seriously they always give money for charity when asked at the checkout line, on the street, etc because they just can't say no to charity. That doesn't even make sense and is pretty infantilizing

And at least in that case there's a slightly older child there; here it sounds like there was no one. And even then with a 7 year old, it still seems kind of dangerous to leave two kids in their care.

Yeah I can remember doing things I logically knew better than to do out of a weird impulse/curiosity I couldn't control at that age. I remember touching a car light bulb that wasn't covered I'm pretty sure I knew was hot just because. I probably was 3 or 4. Then when I obviously got burnt, I hid in my room and cried

Oh yeah I can totally understand that. The way I read it made me think he was playing outside alone, but I probably assumed that. And I definitely wouldn't blame her or anything; I just thought the idea of a 3 year old playing alone outside without a fence (I'm assuming with it being a farm and him getting a mile

Maybe it's different living out in the country, but it seems a little odd to not have your 3 year old in sight of at least an older child when there's no fence in your yard. I'm not a parent and definitely not for smothering your kid, but isn't 3 too young to have any semblance of safety/impulse control? I have

People could still be empathetic to it as mental illness, instead of isolating him further. He might not come around, and no one can force him, but a little empathy for what he may be going through could potentially reach him. The more isolated he gets, the worse he will most likely get. I'm not convinced he's

This is a hard one. On one hand, she could've had dementia and this is so sad. But on the other hand, cops are justified in shooting when someone is pointing a gun at them and refusing to put it down (assuming that is entirely what happened). I am absolutely against police brutality and it happens way too often to

Why does anyone like James Franco? I've never thought he was that good at acting. And he always comes across so pretentious even when his character isn't supposed to be. I don't hate every movie he's in, but I like them despite of him, not because of him. I just don't get why he's so well liked.

I'm posting my reply to another comment here because it's relevant to the "just go get help crazy person, I'm assuming your parents can afford it and will pay for it" argument that is not realistic. In case I get any replies like that with my comment getting more recommendations or whatever, please read this first, as

I really do not believe he is attention seeking. I understand the anger. But I unfortunately understand mental illness too. Society has a responsibility to help the mentally ill just as they do for people with any other disability. No one asks to be raised like he was or to have their brain go haywire, just like no
