Brazil has something of a problem of minors committing crime, since they don't get the full jail time adults do. There is a significant political push for lowering the minimum age to throw kids into prison, asking for 16 or 14yo to be judged and jailed like adults - which means the typical "Lock 'em up and forget them for a minimum of 10 years".

Businesses wouldn't offer free self-defense classes -- liability! They'd just put up a ribbon in tribute of all the fallen babies. Maybe they'd sell ribbons too, so you can honor the babies.

You're thinking simile. A simian is a seat that vibrates for reasons.

It seems to ape a metaphor to me.

I dunno, I may be stupid but I think we still need confirmation

There's no way he's actually going to jail.

The reporter guaranteed that by releasing his home address.

No, but Bob, the Baby Serial Killer does.

He’s jealous of the babies’ huge hands.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

The baby's hands are significantly above average.
