Narcan is just a nasal spray, right? I'd probably take a class and carry that of it weren't so expensive.

It reminds me of when dumb old shits talk about how being physically disciplined had "no effect" on them. "Look at me I turned out fine!" And it's just like "No, you really didn't. You flip your poo poo at almost everything and have an incredibly short fuse."

My boss surprised me with her stance on this. She's only 39 and always talks about how her mom "wouldn't have put up with that, she'd set my rear end straight!" and then without fail pairs it with "and I turned out fine so there!" This woman bitches literally every day at work about mostly the same things/people and has the worst temper/attitude of anyone I've met. She's a two-faced bully who just made a girl quit because she couldn't handle dealing with her every day.

"You didn't turn out fine, you consider hitting literal small children to be acceptable"
There's a flow chart somewhere about physical discipline but I don't have it on me right now, I have it on the computer. It leads to "don't hit your child rear end in a top hat"

Whenever you see someone post that stupid image of text about if you “grew up in the #0s” hold them to it by telling them and their family and kids/grandkids to stop wearing a seatbelt and that you are going to beat the poo poo out of their kids/grandkids for being a oval office and see what they say.

Hopefully they do stop wearing a seatbelt though.

The flowchart is pretty much "does your kid understand why you are hitting it?" No? Well then hitting it wont help in any way. Yes? Well than you can explain that it did something wrong and that will help way more than hitting it.

Doesn't work. The boomer logic is that if doing X results in getting beat then naturally it leads to the child learning to avoid X, because children are merely small, hairless dogs that transform into Functional Humans on their 18th birthday.

In reality it leads, quite naturally, to the estranged parents forum.

I don't know where this "children need to suffer to become strong" thing came from, because I've seen a ton of people who suffered as children and grew up to be right assholes, and plenty of folks who barely ever played outside except when forced and never broke a bone in t heir lives but came out to be really good people.

Right, if that worked, wouldn't it have only happened the one time? Sounds more like you and your parents were constantly working against each other, at that point.

Hitting doesn't work for dogs either. It doesn't teach them to not do something, just avoid getting caught doing it.

If I could afford an AED for my car, I'd have one. On my person I always have a minimum of a TQ- normally more. I nearly always have my messenger bag, which has more in it- a small trauma kit, extra TQ, candy, sewing kit, zip ties, Narcan, and other assorted everyday emergency needs. It seems like over kill, but I would rather have to means to help, than to not.
I should note I'm also trained in everything I know how to use, not just sime random dickhead who watched YouTube.

It comes from "I need there to be an acceptable reason that I suffered as a child, because if I agree that my parents did lovely things, that will mess up the nice balance of coping mechanisms I have."

Particularly if you still have a relationship with those parents, because then you have to find a new way to deal with "I love this person, who loves and supports me,* but also they hosed me up in major ways."

Extra points if you ALSO have children you've "disciplined" with that way, so you get the EXTRA fun of "In the process of trying to be a good parent, I have irrevocably hosed my offspring up, and I can't take that back."

It's really uncomfortable to face all that poo poo head on, to say nothing of the fact that they probably have extra emotional/mental issues on top of all that compounding the issue, because brains are total bullshit.

Rudy talks to (female) reporters on text all the time. It seems bonkers that a guy who was the mayor of NYC and generally thought of to be a serious person five years ago is constantly incriminating himself on television and in newspapers but the rumor on Rudy is that he's a huge alcoholic so he's probably drunk pretty much 24/7 these days

I mean yeah, if you talk to a CEO or other obnoxiously rich person in a personable way you can tell they’re a human being who has likes and interests and feelings like any other human being. I dunno what that’s supposed to prove or help though when they view their workers and other working “poor” as subhuman interchangeable peons at best

My gran will go straight from "kids get sick all the time these days, wasn't always like this" (almost reciting George Carlin's "the immune system needs practice" routine) to "yeah us two were the only ones to survive until adulthood out of a whole loving litter of kids" without batting an eye.
