Gangsters? Well no I've never been in a gang. So you're right.

No. You don't have to be in a gang to know its fucking retarded.

Drug dealers? That's another story.

LOL Oh god. Yeah a story. Exactly. A fairy tale. Don't try to be something you're not.

OT: nothing at all is wrong with hitting your child. Fuck this new age parenting bullshit when no children are disciplined.

Hitting solves nothing. I know kids who would get hit all the time and they still ended up fucked up.

Don't try to be something I'm not? You don't even know me other than words on a screen and a picture or 2, get real.

Hitting solves everything. And I know kids who didn't get hit who never had an ounce of respect for their parents because of it. Hitting works.

God damn your bait game is strong PSU. You should be on the cover of Fisherman's Weekly.

But I'll take the bait.

You'd actually be right. Hitting works to some degree. If it didn't, people wouldn't hit their kids and they would'nt have been doing it for so long. But the issue isn't so much if it works. It's if it's right. Hitting your kids to make them listen is the shortcut way of doing things. It's the easy way out.

Rather than sit them down and make them understand what you're telling them and why you're telling it to them, all you have to do is slap them up a bit and say they were bad and your problem is half solved just like that.

Like anything people do, there's always two ways of doing it. The right way, which usually requires more effort and thinking, or the fast way, which is easy to do and makes the issue temporarily dissappear quicker. Most people take the easy way on things.

Please stop making me aware that I've never met a person who's remotely even loved me.

Nevermind the hallmark take over of Valentines. It's the worst because it's a time for couples.

No BC, I have not once ever met or seen a person who I said I was going to get. Nor have I ever committed because naturally I had nobody to commit to. How long did it take?

23 years and counting.

Don't forget to brush your teeth and floss.

Also there are several ways to teach your kid not to do something spanking doesn't have to be one of them, something as simple as not validating their bad behavior via attention is one. I learned a bit about it in my psychology class, though I'm sure Psy could explain better.

If I remember some passages from my long reads, spanking does some serious neural fuckery in kids as they grow up in certain circumstances.

Depending on the scenario, let's say a kid doesn't get enough attention from their parents. But they get spanked when they do bad things. In their sub-conscious, things get reversed. They begin to associate getting spanked as an expression of love or attention.

And you really don't need to look much further than that to see what happens to the kid as they grow up with that. The kid will do bad shit, and more if it, because he's now mentally fucked on the inside of his head.  This would probably relate to what you're talking about because it's the opposite of not being validated.

Still depends on the kid though, I got spanked and sure I'll admit my mind is less than stellar, but I sure didn't do bad things for attention, would like to know more how it directly affects certain kids though.

Like I said, the circumstances are important.

Spanking also causes issues with trust. When you're a kid, you've got a special biological mental bond with your parent(s). In your little sub-conscious head, your parents are the best fucking people ever. They're supposed to care for you, and be there for you.

When a parent intentionally hurts their kids in any fashion, this bond is ripped up and thrown in the garbage. And it can never be recovered. I don't know the finer details on this one, but it speaks for itself. Kids trust their parents, absolutely. And breaking that trust through physical violence or any kind of abuse creates heaping truckloads of potential problems, depending on the severity and the circumstances.

And of course there's the whole chip off the old block shit too. "Dad spanked me so I can put the WWE beat down on my kid too."

Because you have to be a true cunt to be a politician.

No you don't, but all right.

I mean, what an asinine thing to say, but all right.

Maybe in previous years long since passed, there was such a thing as an okay politician. In present times that's not the case. Being a politician is like sitting on a big ladder. And in order for you to get to the top, you've gotta kick all the other fuckers off the ladder because they're all gunning for the prestige of the same spot. It's a competition.

I don't want to say elitism, or classism, but I wouldn't know any other words to put it in context. But there's a lot of that in politicians. My problem with them is that they live in a partially fictitious world. They're caught up in the "social life" of being a politician.

Putting on the fake bullshit show as if they're really invested in their job or as if they really give two shits or even know what the fuck they're talking about half the time. For instance. Take Rob Ford. The previous mayor of Toronto I believe.

There was a big stink a while back about him getting into drugs. So there he was, sitting in court, along with all the rest of the various political figures of toronto. Now, he said something, which I guess was funny. Not funny haha, but he got the other political figures laughing at him.

And through the whole thing, looking at the people there in that session. You know that Ford wasn't the only guy doing shit behind the scenes there. But they ganged up on him like a pack of fucking wolves. And fucking hell were they all more than happy to toast his ass when he was up on the spotlight.

Most politicians these days are cunts. It's not a requirement for the job. But in a way it is. In order to be a politician, and to get to the top, you have to be ruthless. It is so, sooooo, fucking fake. You see these people shaking hands or smiling at each other but you practically have to check and see if they're not holding daggers behind their backs.

And that's their little social circle. Disconnected from the rest of the world. And it gets in their way of them doing their actual job.

Halo 5 Resolution and frame rate scaling

The frame rate and resolution in that gif is way too high for it to be a representation of an Xbox One game. Now this gif is more true to life about showing the power of the system.

Coming up with a blank. Six years is a bit of a stretch for me to remember anything. Especially christmas. But I'll take a guess.

Family drama.........

and socks.

You can always discard it as well.

And Trump's only used his own money to campaign.  So what?

Bernie isn't rich. Sure, Trump's spending his money, but he has it to spend. Bernie earned his support on his own.

That actually really doesn't say much at all, really. Use the right words and you can gain a lot of support on your own. Hell, use stupid words and you can gain support because there's a lot of stupid people out there.

What's truly respectable about Sanders though, really, political stuff aside, is that he seems like a genuinely decent person. He's just not cut out for politics.

Crazy, no. Dumb, yeah.

Only through one ear. But good enough!

I think my biggest problem is not being able to talk to another person about my problems.

I mean, I have people I can talk to, I just either don't want to or I can't.

Yeah, see, that's a bad one to have. Everybody needs a little bit of communication. Even the lonliest fucker out there needs to talk sometimes. But it's real important that you know how to communicate your problems. That's also how you stand up for yourself if you have a problem with somebody.

Otherwise, if you don't, everything just stays cooped up inside. And that's real bad. That's how folks have meltdowns and go on school safari hunting trips. Or they develop a psychosomatic disorder, which is all the bad stuff in your head actually having a physical effect on your health.

How's my day? I'm fucking tired. I'm having trouble with oxygen intake and distribution and I've got bumps and bruises all over that aren't healing which only makes me feel like more shit.

And I'm caught in a bit of a pickle. I can sit here, rest, and not tax myself because I'm sick with the most entertaining disease possible. But I've got winter cabin fever and everything in me is telling me that I have to move.

So if rest, I start spiraling down and getting agitated because I'm not moving.

And I've got a million shitloads of things to focus on right now in a small time frame. Lots of physical work to be done, and soon.

My day is fun.

Damn that sucks, I hope everything gets better for you.

That ain't happenin' anytime soon. I'm gonna be dealing with it for a while.

Verb. I've got a story you'll love. Fits right in here.

I was coming home at night one time, and my four wheeled death plow decided that it wanted to have a blowout on one of its older tires. I let the thing come to a stop and pulled over on the side of the road.

Didn't have a spare on me. So I had to walk back to town at midnight. Conveniently the night when there was no traffic. I walked 14 miles.
