Absolutely not. These would be illegal in Canada (though not when I was a kid) and corporal punishment hasn't been popular at schools since before I was born.

Also, calorie counting works, but the crux is that for many overweight people, their intuitive sense of when to stop eating is misadjusted. That makes losing weight a lot harder, because they have to do consciously what other people do intuitively.

Your body might be telling you that you need to eat more, and you have to constantly, consciously, fight against it at all times.

My own diet suddenly makes a lot of sense; I'll finish dinner and have to remind myself, ten minutes later, that I've already eaten and don't need to get dinner. It's not like I'm always hungry, but it's like I'm always ready to get something to eat.

Over the last several months, I've dropped nearly 50 pounds and still have to remind myself of that.

Also, those paddles look like props from half baked, no, dazed and confused. The one where seniors were all super Psycho hazing freshmen. One of the characters had holes drilled for speed.

I like the comments criticizing these for being very poorly made. The handles aren't turned at all!

My Mom caught a lot of poo poo because she told the principal of my school he had to call and get her permissions before he could beat my rear end for misbehaving.

Yeah, I went to public school in Texas for a few years and most every teacher had their paddle on display as a "deterrent" against bad behavior. The nasty ones did have air holes for swinging faster. Don't know if they (the holes) actually worked. The paddles didn't, for the most part, as 12 year olds are going to act like 12 year olds no matter what.

I had to look it up but I guess beating children in school is legal on a state by state basis (everywhere has banned it by now but the most recent ban was less than a decade ago), but the entire concept of a teacher being able to hit me as punishment would have been completely foreign to me as a kid in Washington state.

Conservatives say that they are anti child sexual abuse, but they also support sexually abusing children with paddles. Isn’t that contradictory?

Everywhere hasn't banned it lol

It's legal in 17 states iirc for public school.

Save fetuses, then beat them. No other care. Vote for me.

He's not trying to convince anyone of anything. It's just an opportunity to call someone he doesn't like a liar, and so his fans can link to the tweet if they want to also call that guy a liar and pretend they have evidence.

Actually since my parents spanked me too I developed massive issues about trust and honesty with authority figures in life because apparently adults can hit you until you cry whether you're honest with them or not about doing something they think is wrong.

I don't know what you're looking at, but that's wrong:

quote:

As of 2023, corporal punishment is banned in state schools (known as public schools in the U.S.) in 33 states and the District of Columbia

Colorado banned it only this year.

Yeah, I misread something. I think I saw the thing about Colorado banning it and assumed they were the last hold out.

A tangled skein of bad opinions, the hottest takes, and the the world's most misinformed nonsense. Do not engage with me, it's useless, and better yet, put me on ignore.
When I was a kid I got beat with a big wooden spoon with a hole in the middle and a big angry face drawn on it. It was called Mr. Mean Spoon.

I think that's really funny -- "Mr. Mean Spoon." But any time I share this anecdote I'm the only one laughing :mad:

Wonder if any formerly abusive parents have met the ‘find out’ stage of loving around when they hit nursing home stage, and their now grown up kids bring their equivalent of Mr. Mean Spoon out.

My father used to have a spatula he kept in the visor of his car that he called "Mr. Spatula" and when I or my brother (usually me, because my brother was 5 years older than me and would silently hit me and then make me cry and my dad would get angry about me crying for no reason because he believed my brother wasn't the psychopath he was/is) made him mad he would start threatening to get out Mr. Spatula unless whatever made him angry stopped, then if that wasn't enough he'd whack whoever he was mad at with the spatula. At some point this midlly abusive behavior became a joke in my family because he had stopped with the spatula but there was a spatula-print in the padding of the car where he used to keep it. I mean, it's messed up, but funny. I think it's funny.
