Love it! I’ve been reading about positive parenting because apparently both spanking and timeouts are bad for kids now. So what are you supposed to do? That seems like a logical consequence that would work. I want there to be rules and respected boundaries, bot not fear. My son is 7 weeks. I am hoping if I study for…

What do you do for your rosacea?

I will definitely see it. I am terrible at watching movies. Just terrible. But I will try for this one. :)

What is this movie?

When I cashiered at Total Wine & More, I always cringed when an older man and younger woman approached my register. It basically meant that I was going to offend them, no matter whether they were father & daughter or a romantic couple. TW store policy is that you have to check everyone’s ID no matter what, and that…

I had an ex who was Purto Rican and looked black. His ex-wife was black. He didn’t mind when people identified him as black, but he pointed out that he felt culturally more aligned with his family’s Puerto Rican culture – and in his family, he was ‘el negrito’ because he was noticeably darker than many of his…

In driver’s ed classes, the most important thing they teach you is defensive driving. This is no different.

I didn’t say we should accept his behavior, just that a nifty, free tool on her phone could make it harder to casually breach her privacy. Before this Jez thread, I really thought more people were in the habit of locking their phones. This reminds me of Any Schumer texting Katie Couric’s husband from Couric’s…

Yep. That’s all I meant. The boy is a shithead; she should not be fired, but it’s weird not to make use of a simple tool that helps keep one’s privacy safe.

I think I am done with the faux outrage regarding my original comment. I said the boy was responsible for his actions, but it’s weird not to use a smart feature that keeps your information private, even from unscrupulous dickheads. That is not the same as saying she deserved it by dint of her gender or cyber security…

If someone didn’t lock their house and an opportunist walked through the front door and left with their blender, would you not think, “Man, that thief should totally not have stolen that blender and he or she should definitely get in trouble with the law, but still, who doesn’t lock their house?”

That kid sounds seriously evil. What’s happening with him? He should be in so much more trouble than she is, and this should follow him around.

I always fear the screen lag! But that’s usually because that’s how I butt dial people. I’m not trying to throw stones or say she deserved this, but I don’t trust teenagers – seriously, look at the news! – and I wouldn’t want to leave any personal possession unattended around a group of them. Maybe my high school…

Why is everyone glossing over the part where I said the boy is at fault? If he hadn’t behaved inappropriately, obviously those photos would have remained private.

I think the kid should be in a helluva lot of trouble. If I knew or met this lady, I wouldn’t ever suggest to her that she deserved this for not taking more precautions. That kid is solely responsible for his actions, without which the photos would never have become public. Personally, I just found my time as a…

That’s totally fair. Most people only have, like, one password for everything. Perhaps that’s what happened.

That’s...not really what I said. I stated clearly that the boy is responsible for his actions and, to be clear,I find those actions reprehensible. I just really thought more people password protected their phones. Apparently not.

I assume the possibility of malicious intent from everyone. That’s why, with even fewer people than this lady having access to my phone, it’s password protected. I thought that was a more common frame of mind than it apparently is.

I just found it startling that she wouldn’t have it password protected, especially around teenagers, who are notoriously shitty. Not saying she deserved it, but it seems odd to me. I also said the kid should be in boatloads of trouble and that she should have her job. Not really blaming her, but if someone’s house was…

I feel for her, and agree that the boy is to blame and she should definitely still have her job. However, why wasn’t her phone password protected and why would she leave her phone unattended near adolescents? I work alone in an office, and my phone is password protected.
