You’re doing that thing again where you secretly have a bit of hope that justice will prevail. Headlines like this give you that little hit of dopamine, don’t they.

Oops, looks like this editor missed it too. It's spelled r-a-p-e. Easy mistake to make apparently.

Cue the "well actually" stuff from the people saying a minor is not really a kid...

I did and I actually get that you were essentially making the same joke to which I replied. I still thought it was funny that the wording matched.

Got it.

Yeah, this one landed very badly. I try to find balance between too obvious and too cryptic. I figured I would get knee jerk reactions but it seems even when pointing the second part out readers don't get it.

If almost everyone is confused by your joke, you didn't tell it well.

Well, actually, a minor is not a kid. Charles Darwin hypothesized that during the evolution of our species, people would tend to cue a fight they anticipated would happen in hopes it would then not happen.

Tell us exactly when a teenager stops being a child, because mine is two years into it and she's definitely still a kid.

Please explain what I missed, because I don't appear to be the only one.

This is a very stupid game. If you're not going to tell me what I missed, forget it.

I see that people didn't see the comment by Charles Darwin and/or didn't read my entire comment.

I read your entire comment. I've read it again. I have no idea why that means you are refusing to answer my question. Especially when you said "Well, actually, a minor is not a kid." Not Charles Darwin. Nothing to do with fighting.

So, I will ask you again, exactly when does a teenager stop being a child?

I think people are kids into their 20s. Or colloquially, your children stay your kids their whole lives.

Cue someone writing, "Well actually, the comment was referencing the user CharlesDarwin and not the theologian turned naturalist."
