SocketWrench posted:Man, this blows. Even in my adult years wandering a Toys R Us was like turning into a kid again Well the weird thing is that people keep saying that they fell victim to amazon. But they still account for the largest share of toy sales and there’s no other store now that’s dedicated exclusively to toys. I find it hard to believe that they lost in some sort of fight vs a competitor.

I watched a classmate get paddled almost every day in 4th grade, NE Alabama. Once in a while the teacher would pass him on to the principal, who used a cricket bat with holes bored out of it.

I’ve seen a lot of corporal punishment in the classroom having gone through school in the 60’s and 70’s. I’m glad this practice has stopped for the most part. Never saw anybody get hit with a cricket bat though. Why would you drill holes in it? Reduce weight or reduce wind resistance?

pumpinglemma posted:Drastically unpopular take incoming: reading between the lines I think the principal was actually on the students' side here. It sounds like he was forced by school board rules to punish the students either with a two-day suspension or a paddling. Normally they'd get the suspension, which would go on their permanent records and potentially gently caress up their college applications. He decided to give them the option of taking a paddling instead, using the leeway the rules gave him to interpret "paddling" as two light swats which, according to the student, were "not painful or injuring". Essentially a more-literal-than-usual slap on the wrist. That's... not what corporal punishment looks like when the person administering it wants to actually punish someone. And the dean-of-students did stress that "not all punishments like this ended this way". my god, pumping lemma has a lovely opinion, how loving surprising (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

That charming map showing the states where children can still be beaten in school? That's public schools only! I believe only two states forbid beating children in private schools, or at least that was the case the last time this discussion happened. There's a bunch of sick loving assholes all over the US, no question!

I feel like there's a profound thesis to be written about the compulsive and futile longing for the past are animating almost every element of our society right now, from our politics to our entertainment industry, which literally has no idea what to do except reboot and reimagine every single piece of minutiae a Gen-Xer might have enjoyed in childhood. Like they're obviously different, but I think Ready Player One speaks to pretty much the exact same emotional longing as MAGA.

not child abuse chat-related, but this is an interesting article about why Japanese consumers don't buy American cars. obviously, it has nothing to do with Trump's ridiculous mushbrain bowling ball fixation it's because American cars have the rightly-gained image of being pieces of poo poo, and American manufacturers don't even give enough of a poo poo to try to sell to a japanese market that doesn't accept the American Way of treating your customers like garbage

DLC Inc posted:if loving in the white house didn't bring down Clinton, why would it bring down an infinitely more "who gives a gently caress what I do" president? Not the same situation. Clinton's situation was ultimately about perjury, which he WAS found guilty of but it was such a bullshit "AHA! Finally found something" result of years of digging that no one in the Senate was going to touch it. The Trump situation at this point involves: Violating campaign finance laws, violating legal agreements (through sheer idiocy), violating regular financial laws to try and cover up violating the Campaign Finance laws, and (if Stormy's lawer isn't blowing smoke) threats of physical harm from a sitting President, potentially involving threats of abusing the power of the office to faccilitate them. And that's not even counting the social bullshit which also puts Trump's philandering at a much higher level than Clinton's sketchy poo poo. AND AND that's not even counting the 6 other potential women who may be in the same position as Stormy.

A flat paddle damages the underlying tissue but it doesn't do much to the skin. A paddle with holes in it can break the skin or create welts as the skin is deformed through the holes on contact.
