  • Using violence as a deterrent teaches kids that it's OK to use violence against others in the future.

    Except as others have pointed out, there's cases where a violent response (or the possibility of one) is necessary. There's a couple of good adages on the subject:

    It's better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war

    A man that is incapable of fighting isn't peaceful, he's helpless

    And like one of the other responders, I was spanked as a child but that didn't lead me to resolving problems with violence as an adult.

    I never once threatened violence or used any sort of violence against my kids, and they never used violence as they grew up.

    Tbh, that sounds more like they were fortunate enough to never be in a situation that required violence

  • Especially if there's a clear stating of "if you continue doing [bad behavior] you're going to be spanked" and the kid keeps doing it.

    When I was a kid, I got warnings before getting spanked. If there's a clear line drawn and you continue crossing it you should get some kind of punishment.

    That being said, I view spanking as the nuclear option nowadays. It needs to be a "credible threat" (aka an actual option), but you want to avoid escalating to that point because there's nothing else to escalate to.

  • And optimizing for maximum interior space and comfort for aerodynamics

  • Remember that their generation were the same ones who beat black protestors and spit on drafted Vietnam vets. They're also going to die off soon and the world will be better without them

  • Lawn grass is an invasive species in the Americas and should be removed whenever possible

  • It's time to play "Is this Fascism or Bad Sarcasm?"!

  • By that logic, they'd hoard carbon fiber since it's even more conductive

  • And for those, yes it bears repeating over and over again =>Nazis are not to be negotiated with<=.

    To put it another way: don't argue with people John Brown would've shot

  • They're like the flat Earthers that actually try experiments that end up proving themselves wrong, yet they continue denying it afterwards

  • You clearly don't understand what an analogy is.

    Maybe if you'd stop using AI for all mental activities you'd fucking understand that

  • it's very stupid to think the world needs to cater to you and your tastes

    They're trying to curate their feed, not yours.

    Yes, there's some assholes in the comments, but I think you're going off on the wrong person here

  • It's super easy to just not click on them.

    Bad argment. You don't have to tap/click for the comic to show up on your feed, regardless if you're on desktop or mobile.

    To avoid seeing it you'd have to know it was coming up ahead of time and refuse to scroll down too far

  • Off topic, what does "ITT" mean? I can't figure out the acronym

  • he cares more about looking cool than human safety.

    Just a reminder that "aesthetics over function" is a common trope for fascists

  • Did it refer to weapons that can mow down an entire crowd in several minutes with one pull if the trigger?

    At the time, a private citizen could own a cannon. And as was demonstrated when Napolean first took power, a cannon loaded with a canister shell could rip through an entire crowd of people.

    Not only that, there were actually repeating rifles available during the American Revolution. The inventor even tried to sell them to the Continental Army, but they cost so much that the Continental Congress wasn't interested.

    Also, "arms" referring to "weapons" is a very old definition.

  • If you're seriously making this argument, you clearly don't understand what "well regulated militia" actually means
