    Ahhhh right, simple mistake to make. Middle school kids definitely deserve solitary confinement. Fucking what??

    I hope that maybe you’re just ignorant to what “solitary confinement” means, but even then, you’re talking about locking children away in fucking prison for misbehaving in 6th grade art class. Get a grip.

      Jesus, who’s talking about solitary confinement? Not even the original comment mentioned it. I definitely didn’t. Relax. It’s a shitty situation but getting angry about things you imagined is not going to save anyone.

          So reddit of you. Ignore the entire thread, look only at the headline, talking about related things is forbidden, only the headline matters.

        The original article is about putting a child into solitary confinement. You don’t even need to read the article. But keep moving those goalposts…

        Is it really that much harder to just admit you were wrong (or literally just take the L and not respond at all) than doubling down on something so easily disproven?

        The mindset is just fascinating to me.

          And ladies and gents, we have the ‘moving goalposts’ comment, it’s ‘reddit bingo’ and we can close this thread. Thanks you everyone.

            But… You moved the goalposts?

            Lol, I guess I gotta admire the effort you’re willing to go through to avoid admitting you might have said something wrong.

            But no. You can’t just judo flip the conversation like that when you get called out for saying stupid fucking shit.

              Just because you don’t agree with something doesn’t mean it’s wrong. Ever heard of opinions? I guess not.
