Indeed - how is that not already the case.

Your perception of the world isn't worsening because people aren't abusing their children enough. Your perception of the world is worsening because you're falling out of touch with it. Stop hitting your kids. It's child abuse. It's fucking them up and continuing a cycle of violence.

Stop hitting your dog, too.

Wow I haven't heard that name in a while and had no clue it existed back then too.

that sounds like a recipe for bankruptcy. I mean thats precisely what we wanted to avoid with the subprime mortgage crash right? Are we ok with doing that now again?

There's always something special going on, depends what you're into.

It's a sticker that I put on my OMNY card to give it a MetroCard look! edit: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1429887945/sticker-for-omny-nyc-metrocard-inspired

Last time I had a successful vehicle removed was around the 1st Quarter of 2022. That's probably after getting 4+ cars towed in my area. Since then, all the vehicles I report come back with a "Car was claimed by owner".

First of all, the claim that they are not being taught reading and writing honestly sounds politically manufactured to me. If all of your classes are called "Religious Brainwashing" and you read the bible all day every day and write essays about it, you might not have "Reading" and "Writing" classes, but you sure as hell are able to read and write. (And it doesn't sound like Hasids are graduating school unable to read and write, are they? Historically speaking, their communities tend to prioritize education and work mainly white collar jobs.)

So you took the absence of reading and writing classes and compared that to terrorists learning to blow people up. And now you wonder why people are looking at you side eye...? Hmm.

From your APA source:

As in many areas of science, some researchers disagree about the validity of the studies on physical punishment. Robert Larzelere, PhD, an Oklahoma State University professor who studies parental discipline, was a member of the APA task force who issued his own minority report because he disagreed with the scientific basis of the task force recommendations. While he agrees that parents should reduce their use of physical punishment, he says most of the cited studies are correlational and don’t show a causal link between physical punishment and long-term negative effects for children.

“The studies do not discriminate well between non-abusive and overly severe types of corporal punishment,” Larzelere says. “You get worse outcomes from corporal punishment than from alternative disciplinary techniques only when it is used more severely or as the primary discipline tactic.”

In a meta-analysis of 26 studies, Larzelere and a colleague found that an approach they described as “conditional spanking” led to greater reductions in child defiance or anti-social behavior than 10 of 13 alternative discipline techniques, including reasoning, removal of privileges and time out (Clinical Child and Family Psychology Review, 2005). Larzelere defines conditional spanking as a disciplinary technique for 2- to 6-year-old children in which parents use two open-handed swats on the buttocks only after the child has defied milder discipline such as time out.

I have a very good friend who trains working dogs, and the above method sounds very much like his approach to nipping dogs. The purpose of a small electric shock is not retribution, it's to force a break in concentration. A beagle on the scent of a rabbit is a very special kind of focus, and sometimes they just don't listen to commands so the electric shock is only used after verbal commands and warning tones have failed. To me this is exactly how my parents raised me, when I was disrespectful a warning was given, and if I continued to press the issue the threat was acted upon.

As far as I can tell, this is how the real world works, people will only have so much tolerance for verbal abuse before they will solve their problems with physical violence, and the reason you're seeing the rise of the Karen is because this lesson was not instilled in them as a child. Getting licked by your parents for disrespectful behavior is a lot better of a place to learn that your words have physical consequences than getting beat down by an underpaid & overworked Amazon Employee.

The way I see it is that if you are paying for your child to go to a specific school it is because you are approving of the curriculum they are teaching and the methods they are using to educate your child (be it hasids hitting kids or nuns slapping with rulers). And as long as the amount of physical interaction is not to the extent that it is illegal were it to happen in your home, then the state should leave it alone.

(And this is also an excellent reminder of why ZERO tax dollars should be going to any private religious institution -- for ANY reason!! In "real" schools, you don't get to hit my fucking kid.)

I assume that wells fargo et al provide the banking services for free and give interest.

If New York builds its own bank will it also be free?

What’s the definition of “corporal punishment” in this context?

Edit: I see, deeper in the article. This bill defines it as physical force used, which is appropriate. That is not the same definition for corporal punishment that is applied in public schools in NY lol

I've reported multiple vehicles with no plates, and with an hour the SR notice is closed out with various comments all stating that vehicle not found....... always BS. I've sent pics, address, descriptions. Completely BS

Apparently Billy's hot dog stand on the upper west side on Central Park west still uses Sabrett.

It gets middle class people into projects most of which were originally built for low income housing. I want tens of thousands of units to be built for the express purpose of middle class rent to ownership.

The briefest of googles nets a mountain of evidence to the opposite.

WHO: "Corporal punishment is linked to a range of negative outcomes for children across countries and cultures, including physical and mental ill-health, impaired cognitive and socio-emotional development, poor educational outcomes, increased aggression and perpetration of violence."

American Psychological Association: "Many studies have shown that physical punishment — including spanking, hitting and other means of causing pain — can lead to increased aggression, antisocial behavior, physical injury and mental health problems for children."

UT meta-study: "Given the strong link found between corporal punishment and aggression and antisocial behavior in childhood, it is not surprising that this association would continue into adulthood. Having learned that they can use aggression and force to compel others to do what they want in childhood, children persist in using aggression to control others’ behavior into adulthood."

Child abuse just does not lead to positive outcomes. Stop hitting your kids.

Their savings rates are atrocious though. I’m a city employee. My salary is already less than private as it is. Gotta maximize savings elsewhere. I personally bank with Chase and Marcus by Goldman Sachs.

I'm not convinced that'll have the effect you expect it to, and as contradictory as it sounds it seems more likely to me that children that grow up without corporal punishment are simultaneously more likely to be excessively cruel and victimized themselves as adults.
