The sign is funny on its own, this caption is just terrible.
This is one long strawmen: you're generalizing my argument for this single situation to every situation.
You're basically accusing me of doing what you're doing: thinking in black and white. In my case if I think that ruining his life here with severe punishment is wrong, it must always be wrong.
Ask yourself this. Is there anyone who did something very stupid in HS that turned out to be a good adult without facing severe consequences for their actions? I can think of a few.
Common or not, they did not make the argument. You presumed a position and then used that made up position to launch an ad hominem.
A kid was arrested, but released pending further investigation, so I'm hard pressed to believe there is no punishment for this. But we're talking about teenagers here, the fact that he could be punished is there, but was not given serious consideration if any at all...because he isn't a fully mature adult. So what would a more serious punishment do?
This is something probably solved with education rather than more punishment.
The human mind doesn't even really fully mature until your mid 20s. A 15 year old still has a good full decade until full maturity, and they are notorious for making impulsive decisions without realizing the consequences of their actions.
What he did was wrong and he deserves punishment, but ruining his life too for being a dumb teenager does nothing for the unimaginable harm caused to this girl, it just makes more victims.
I don't know what the right answer is, but I can tell you the wrong answer is to ruin a teenagers life over a stupid act when that isn't going to solve anything.
Ultimately I'm not sure where I fall on this issue, but the fact that you just mindlessly claimed that this person wants to see tits and clits, when they said nothing of the sort, just exposes how fully you realize you can't defend an actual position.
I can't say I actually know how they made it work, because I've never designed or worked on one, but circuitry that cuts out when the voltage drops is pretty common. More of an electrical/electronics engineering type of thing than audio engineering.
I would be shocked to learn it's cheaper than producing a CD. I can almost guarantee that it's simply some kind of kitschy thing.
society just fucking hates neurodivergent people.
Let's keep in mind what I was initially responding to.
my son is gifted and can’t be neurodivergent because he is (proceeds to list a bunch of things that aren’t actually incompatible with neurodivergence).
Except I didn't say this. The other poster made the claim that gifted means neurodivergent, and the neurodivergent are rejected by society. I pointed out that my kid is gifted and socially very accepted, challenging either of their claims.
You can be liked by your peers and still be mistreated by society
A fair disagreement, which certainly is also not true for my kid, but I think we might be wandering into pedantic territory, but either way I certainly did not say that my son can't be neurodivergent because he does well socially.
The top level commenter was the one who made the comment that being gifted makes you neurodivergent and the comment that society doesn't like neurodivergent people. I simply pointed out that my kid meets their requirement of neurodivergent and is very socially adept. I made no generalization about what neurodivergent people are or are not like, that was the other commenter.
I wonder why it's me you challenged and not the other poster, when your criticism is similar to my criticism of them and doesn't really apply to anything I said (although I can see why it was inferred).
