I have no children, but grew up in a house that did spank. I too would spank 🤷🏼‍♂️ it was quite effective to/on me.

Proverbs 22:15

“Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.”

I think God is right.

I hit my kids all the time

With the cardboard tube from wrapping paper. It's not about inflicting pain. It gets their attention with a unique popping sound, and physical touch. Plus, you learn very quickly that you *can't* hit hard at all or you'll break the cardboard sword.

yes , to a certain age (we stopped spanking around 5 yo) and NEVER out of anger. use it sparingly.

Yes, spanking is effective and appropriate at times for young children. A little pain reinforces better behavior. But, spanking is only effective for young children. When they get to a certain age, and reason kicks in, incentives and disincentives are more effective, e.g. "Oh, I thought you wanted to get some ice cream tonight, but if you keep doing X, we may have to delay that to another day when you're not doing X." Anyway, it seems to have helped with my four kids, who are now all grown. I'm very proud of what they've been able to accomplish.

Worked for me! Was never excessive. I don’t even remember it hurting ever. Think it was just the concept of punishment. Which is something everyone should understand and young kids (and some adults) maybe can’t reason about yet.

There’s a huge conversation going on in my notifications about this, so I thought I’d just make a post and let everyone weigh in.

Is spanking children effective/appropriate?

Lots of jubilation about Trump coming out with a pro- #Bitcoin script, but I’d just like to remind everyone that Trump’s DOJ indicted Julian Assange under the Espionage Act, he didn’t free Ross when he was President, and he didn’t pardon Snowden.

Actions speak louder than words.

Anyway, goodnight.

Bitcoin conferences are just big circle jerks of people who are obsessed with status.

How are plebs still falling for that shit.

Stop wasting your sats on people who don’t give a fuck about you.

I’m really struggling with the idea of nuking my twitter but I’m 50% more likely to do it this month than I was last month.

The more breaks I take from Twitter, the more I realize was a toxic cesspool of mind poison it is.

It is a source of unhappiness.

Bluesky announced DMs today. Yikes.

Several weekly shows or Nests. Plebchain Radio is weekly. Hatching Ideas is weekly, though I don't have one scheduled this week. Several other global Nests happen in other languages.

Who is funding #Amethyst?

Who is the Influencor that shills it constantly?

How come Amethyst has very likely the most number of unique features on #nostr and nobody talks about them or push other famous client to implement them? Like..

- zapstrem visible in client

- zap pools

- sensitive content flag when creating note

- split zap when creating note

- scrollable feed only image/video like TikTok/Instagram

- so many other features I forgot and really don't have time to put all them down since they are so much..

#Amethyst, the most underrated client, will keep saying it, since others are sleeping on it, for a reason or another.. 👀
