Honestly, my parents would sometimes smack me but I don't even remember it, I have much worse memories from my dad yelling at me, saying really mean shit about how useless I am and all that (he's got a very short temper). To this day I get a panic attack when someone raises their voice at me, but I don't care all that much about a kid getting a light slap for acting like an asshole.
That's in my opinion the only reason for ever slapping a kid. When they do something wrong, first you explain why it's wrong, why it might harm other people or be bad for the kid, etc. Then, inevitably, the kid will test your limits and act like an asshole anyway, that's just what they do sometimes. That's when you give them a light smack. Not a full on spanking, just a slap to remind them that they won't get away with acting like an asshole, and that actions have consequences. I see too many parents these days not doing anything when their kid is an asshole to strangers and that's imo wrong too.

Oh I know what he reminds me of now! I originally wrote shark because it was the closest thing I thought of at the time but now I clicked on the post again and I was like "he looks like a f-cking moray"

Tbh trying to dodge people who don't understand social distancing while trying to get all your groceries is a workout by itself.
I mean admittedly I don't have to social distance too hard since I had covid recently and I'm immune for some time now, but still, I don't want to be that idiot who breathes down other people's necks despite having the 2m marks under my feet.

It's hard to read tone from a Twitter post obviously but it seemed like a joke to me, playing on the stereotype of the southern racist redneck rather than condemning every Trump supporter as such. But what do I know, I don't have a Twitter so I can't go and ask Travis personally.

There were a ton of arrests after each riot. So no, they didn't "get away with it".

I'd say pardoning war criminals and Wall Street goons is equally bad, just in a different way

I used to not be able to cook at all in my teens because whenever I'd try to help my mom, she'd just say I'm doing it wrong and take it from me to do it herself. Now that I live on my own, I've realized I actually really enjoy cooking and now I'm pretty damn good at it. Well, I'm still clumsy af so I spill and knock stuff over all the time but the end result usually turns out really good somehow.

To be fair you shouldn't wash jeans too often as it weakens the denim. Once every six months is enough unless they're dirty or smelly.

I'm a woman but I'm rather tall, broad shouldered and dress in all black so I'm also aware that I might seem intimidating to some people (old people especially look at me weird. And this is even more true now in winter because I have this long coat that makes me look like a character from the Matrix lol). I usually overtake them tbh, I'm a fast walker anyway and I don't want someone's prejudice to make me late to wherever I'm going so I sure as hell won't slow down for them.

2020's best diet. COVID19 4 comments

If you want a cheap but still nutritious diet, I recommend going for legumes rather than rice. They're rich in protein and can be made into a huge variety of foods (not that rice can't, but you usually have to add more ingredients to make it taste like something). I'm typing this while eating homemade dal with feta cheese lol.

Some asshole: ha ha short men aren't men
The internet: noooo shut up, they're short kings!
Tall girls who are treated like freaks and mocked (especially by short guys): ._.
.
Don't get me wrong, I think discrimination by height is wrong either way, but man, the venom and bitterness I get from some short guys is unparalleled. Not all obviously, not even most, it's a small minority really. Basically not all short guys are mean to tall women, but whenever someone was an asshole to me and mocked/insulted me for my height, it was a short guy. Some are just so mad at the world for making jokes at their expense they go and bully tall girls mercilessly.

Wow, yeah, it's really striking how few people are aware that the Romani were also one of the primary "targets" of the Holocaust and there are so many Romani victims of WWII.

We were so glad we got such a reaction because if we placed first in the last competition, we'd win the main prize (it was like a pack of candy, but also the bragging rights!) but the organizers decided to pull some "everybody is a winner, the poems were all good" bullshit, I guess not to offend the other kids' artistic sensibilities or something. So everybody got the same amount of points for the last competition, which means it basically didn't count and the other team kept their lead and got the prize! I was so mad back then omg. Those cunts didn't even share the candy.

Bruh this legit happened to me at a summer camp when I was 13. The organizers hosted a bunch of competitions of all kinds, some were athletic, dress up, building a sand sculpture etc, typical teenage crap. Throughout the day my team was always close second behind another team, and then came the final competition, which was to write a poem using certain words the organizers provided. Our team absolutely NAILED that one, because everyone went for happy cheery stuff while we wrote a dark, apocalyptic poem (it was my idea and I wrote most of it because I was an emo shit back then lol) which surprisingly didn't come off as pretentious trash but was actually quite good! The organizers and other teams were actually shocked at how good it was.
