Spanking is not about discipline. It's about asserting authority. The intended message is "I'm in charge and I can and will hurt you if you don't recognize and obey my authority."

ICE at airports, is actually a good thing. (lemmy.today)
 

My take: If we can't defund ICE until we take back one of the houses of congress, then the next best thing is to give them pointless security theater jobs.

Shoving as many hired ICE agents into Airport lines is a good thing for America right now.

TSA the agency can be shut down. But the employees should be able to feed their kids.

If, one day, it's you facing charges for a very very bad accident, you are going to be really happy that courts aren't a blood thirsty as you are.

You should never judge a lawyer by his client.

In America everyone has a right to a lawyer. Even that guy.

I read the book when it came out. One of the few books I've ever pre-ordered just because it was written by Andy Weir. I wasn't disappointed.

I'll say, the single best part about it is that the story has the best supporting character since Chewbacca.

You should consider putting your kid in Scouts (lemmy.today)
 

I'm constantly amazed that scouts isn't more popular with families. I'm a huge supporter of the whole worldwide program (particularly Scouting America and the Girl Scouts in the US).

Yes, let's all acknowledge that there were past abuses that the Boy Scouts ignored and covered up. But, primarily due to the lawsuits associated with those abuses, Scouting America has instituted a lot of really strong child protection policies that arguably make it the safest youth program anywhere.

It's a really great, comparatively cheap, program that offers amazing opportunities to kids and families.

If you find yourself having trouble making friends as an adult, I really recommend looking into it.
