external hard drive I got for Christmas for my Xbox one seems to have failed already

I am extraordinarily pissed off about it, beyond rationally angry at it.

I know it's not a big deal, but I am raging about this.

My 14 year old daughter making 'exotic' brownies at a mate's house on Saturday night. In her favour, she did do it because all the other kids were allegedly smoking the stuff and she didn't want to do that...

They were caught by her mate's mum who came home early....

We have had 'the chat' on numerous occasions, plus having two older brothers who have 'dabbled', she is well aware of what she was doing. That could be a good thing or a bad thing....

It was a fine balance betweeen a bollocking and advice. We sat her down and explained that irrespective of what the other kids were doing, she is ultimately responsible for her own safety. We said that choosing not to smoke it was sensible for loads of reasons, not least that it can lead to a nicotine addiction which can take decades to shift (I used myself as an example), but that putting it in brownies carries its own risks too. We explained that chances are the weed was 'skunk' from a factory in Burnley or similar where slave-trade methods are used to mass-produce the stuff, and that the dealer probably mixed it with other drugs to get repeat custom. I told her that recently 'skunk' had been found with heroin traces for that very reason. We also told her that getting the proportions wrong could lead to a very unpleasant few hours, potentially culminating in a trip to A & E, which never looks good....

The bollocking part is difficult because we know she will experiment whatever we say, so we'd rather she feels able to talk about it than not. She grudgingly accepted a two week grounding, no going out after dark until the trust comes back, and not going to the house of the lad who supplied the funky green.

There is no manual unfortunately for raising kids.

Easy M.C. It is hard enough trying to guide a kid through to adulthood without worrying about R.Kelly and his ilk...

I know you're trolling but it all stems back to a racist society/police/justice system, where an actor can get away with drugging and raping (mainly white*) women for years, and a singer can engage in child porn, film himself clearly engaging in said child porn and still get found not guilty

*important as there are those saying now no one cares about R Kelly cos he's abusing black girls

Edit: to keep it on topic this grinds my gears...

You've never heard of Bill Cosby??
He was rather famous way before any allegations were made, and not as a rapper.
