I can’t decide if he would be good at weaponizing it because of so much practice creating virus vulnerability at Microsoft or be bad at weaponizing it because of so much practice creating bugs at Microsoft.

I interpreted the sentence that way since it calls out a specific event. Like “9/11 happened and people were killed by terrorists.”

And then have sex.

I am. I read “Often times a word or a warning was necessary, sometimes a strike was.” followed by planning to bring that behavior, along with the positive stuff, into the next generation. If you are reading mine you will notice the only point I’m disagreeing with is that a strike is ever necessary.

When you have a child and you can look them in the eye and then hit then that’s who you are. But would you beat a dog until it cries to discourage bad behavior? There are negative reinforcements people prefer to use with dogs that don’t involve violence. Children have many more of these options than dogs.

You guys are changing the subject from violence to discipline. Of course kids need to learn discipline but using violence to teach it is unnecessary and causes adverse effects in other parts of their psyche. Drill instructors teach discipline professionally but are not permitted to strike their recruits. Why can’t parents be held to that standard?

Did they call you fat to help you learn to be thin or stupid to make you learn to be smart? Is that helping someone grow? No. And beating your children doesn’t help them learn to form healthy relationships which is how they don’t end up thugs on the street.

If I came up to you and ejaculated into your mouth or nose you would call that sexual assault. That’s what pollen is and you are defending the trees’ right to perform these horrific acts? Trees should be held accountable for the raping of our sinuses. Someone burn down the Amazon again. (Not the company, I have an air fryer on order.)

If you think the people who you are supposed to protect you at all costs made you better by beating you then I assure you it had the opposite affect.

I agree you shouldn’t punish unless they understand why but violence doesn’t command respect, it creates fear and distrust. There are any number of consequences you can administer for bad behavior that don’t make your children fear you.

It not random actually. Whenever we found one of our users with a phone cord that was all jacked up we would move their phone to the other side of the desk and it wouldn’t happen again. It’s caused by picking up the phone with one hand and then using the other to put it to your ear. When you pass it from one hand to the other you spin it without realizing it.

The crumbs!

On top of that I’m sure whatever agreement you signed to enroll in the university has contract language stating that things like the fitness center aren’t guaranteed.

Biological waste
