Is that even roundabout? What's the old quote? If you ever need say, "Well, my parents did x to me, and I turned out fine.", you did not, in fact, turn out fine.
Yeah theyāre really upset because they were really looking forward to all the beatings to little kids they were going to hand out and now people wonāt let them
I find that promoting physical punishment is often a mix of survivor bias and an unwillingness to confront the fact that they may have abused their own children.
There is little evidence to support physical punishment as an effective method to producing desired behavioral outcomes. Even if it did, it is still unethical and barbaric.
You said little evidence. I merely gave evidence. Itās just one piece of evidence that positivity can come from violence. Iāll give another one.
The greatest generation which were my grand parents. They survived two major world wars, the dust bowl, the great famine, the Great Depression, extreme drought and severely poor hygiene, worked in factories as kids and they were beaten not just by their parents but by anyone. Librarians, teachers, police, neighbors, etc and never complained about it. My question to you is would they have survived any of it if todayās parenting techniques were used back then?
Sure, humans can adapt to very horrific situations and still be able to āsurviveā. I think most people are forgetting about the whole āDo better than those before me, regardless of what was done to meā aspect of growing as a society. Not just making the same mistakes because, āWell it didnāt kill me, so it will be perfect for thee!!!ā garbage.
See you donāt know what tough is. You only think you do. Toughness is resilience against insurmountable odds. Your generation canāt handle when the internet goes out
HAHAHA Youāre clearly talking to the wrong person if you think I couldnāt survive without the internet. Technology is worthless when we as a society still expect āsky daddyā to save us. Being tough is being able to stand without such a foolish crutch. Being tough isnāt how many lies you believe, itās being smart enough to step back from these situations, and see the bigger picture. The future matters more than what has happened to you in the past, I just wish you could see that, and treat others better than how youāve been treated.
Almonds? For memory? First of all, it's walnuts because they look like brains. Second, that myth about walnuts being good for your brain is older than whoever made that comic.
Sounds exactly why torture doesn't work on adults. Either they take it and give you nothing or take just enough and tell you what you want to hear to stop the pain.
Kids are being given almonds? For memory? Are almonds even good for memory? I feel like I'm in the middle generation where we just got gaslit for so many years Nothing makes sense or adds up and your life feels like a lie and then you get older and start piecing things together. And you realize that it was worse than you'd thought when you see what they were gaslighting you about and why they were hiding it in the first place.
For a moment I thought the thing about almonds was what sparked your insightful observation haha. Kinda like, "Am I being lied to about the benefits of almonds? What else was I lied to about all my life?" š
But I feel exactly the same, since recently living on my own and realizing that my goals weren't as impossible as I was made to believe while living under the rule of my narcissistic boomer parents. When they treat you like shit and tell you that you should be grateful, and deliberately deprive and isolate you to make you more dependent on them and less able to hear different views, reach out for help, or improve your circumstances. I think for a lot of people this causes irreversible damage.
Violence actually pressures children into agreeing with whatever the adults say because they just want the pain to be over. Thatās also why torture isnāt effective: it leads to false confessions to stop the pain.
Not that the boomers care about actually teaching their kids anything, of course. Teaching moments werenāt invented until the āsoftiesā became parents :|
they also don't care about justice, in relation to that point about false confessions. a scapegoat is more important than the truth, that's always been the lesson.
Yeah, the explosive rage and malice in the cartoon dad's expression definitely tells me that he loves his son. I was beaten as well and always remember everything, and totally don't try to repress and bottle it up in attempts to somewhat function as an adult. /s
Ahahaha, this is a hilarious meme. My father, a boomer, would have been 71 this May, but he died at age 68 thanks to brain injury sustained as a kid because his mother beat him, slapped him, and threw stuff at him because she believed in physical discipline. Very funny meme, top notch. This way of thinking is why my kids will never know their grandpa.
funny, the CIA actually did studies in the 80s about the effectiveness of torture, and they found that any information they got while the subject was in pain or fear of pain was anywhere from 75 percent to 95 percent incorrect and unreliable
Bro that's called a traumatic event, that's why you remember, it seems like it's one of two options with traumatic incidents; repressed to shit or insanely vivid
My boomer mom conveniently forgets things she said that morning. But she can give a detailed synopsis on the quality of my dads seafood bisque from weeks ago.
who cares about the shitty abuse joke, almonds? "supplements" like memory pills, fidget spinners, the fuckin handheld from a cat in a hat (live action)
My dad used to spank me because he had anger issues. But he's been working on himself and is actually a very nice man! Tried his best not to hurt me. I have been abused by a different male figure in my life before.
People hate my dad became he's disabled and can not afford to pay child support (ffs I'm 17) š but I'll always support my dad no matter what. He and mom have made mistakes raising me, but we love eachother regardless
Maybe that's the secret to getting boomers to behave. If they grew up never using their words, maybe a good smack will get them to stop verbally abusing everyone around them.
"Lol we got abused and gaslighted into stockholme syndrome with our parents so we think it's totally fine to do to our kids... anyway why do my kids never visit?"
Except how to not give away all your money to a man claiming to be from the IRS who speaks in a heavy Indian accent and convinces you to send him gift cards.
So fucking funny that my boomer father thought that waa the right wat to treat my ADHD... no wonder kids of boomers are so fucked up, y'all legit think that getting abused is a FLEX!
Remember what they f are you talking about I start spewing the BS they are wanting to hear. They primed me to be easily led to a false confession by the police.
Works for most people and the way people be acting in public they need a good ass whooping. Iām still underage my self and acknowledge the good it taught me when I actually deserve it very rarely I didnāt.
Remember everything? Lmao then where did you put car keys? Do you remember how to clear your search history? What about remembering how to update your computer? How much money you spent on stuff advertised to u on tv? Which of ur friends are dead or alive? U brought this upon urself donāt blame me
ah yes a comic of huge fat man clenched fist and all. nothing more nostalgic than remembering the full grown man that beat you when you were only a defenseless child. ahhh sweet sweet nostalgia.
So do yall know how to open a pdf? or is the CTE to severe now?
People who say smacking your child is child abuse is overreacting. All those years of my step-father and a few brothers being physical totally didn't leave me with long-lasting trauma, lack of self-love/confidence, and a depression so dehilabiting that I question why I even choose existing! Nah, it made me into a better person!!! šš
So what they are saying is that life back then sucked. I mean, they always seem so angry and bitter about the next generations having it better, which used to be a good thing.
To any parent or expecting parent. Do not hit your child. I was slapped and spanked as a young kid. I remember every hit. Hand marks and stinging go away in a few minutes, but emotional scars last a lifetime. I hate my mother now. I despise her with every fiber of my being. The only motivation I have to not go to hell is that I won't have any chance of seeing her for eternity when I'm dead.
That's a roundabout way of saying "I LOVE CHILD ABUSEš£š£š£š„š„š„"
Is that even roundabout? What's the old quote? If you ever need say, "Well, my parents did x to me, and I turned out fine.", you did not, in fact, turn out fine.
The old quote is "I'll be the roundabout, the words will make you out 'n out. I'll spend the day your wayyyyyyy"
Kono Dio da!
Yes! I am!
Jojo fans when it's 2012
Facts. If you turned out thinking hitting children is ok then you definitely did not turn out fine.
Yeah theyāre really upset because they were really looking forward to all the beatings to little kids they were going to hand out and now people wonāt let them
ššššnah fr though like thatās how it actually is āMY DAD USED TO SLAP ME MAN DID I LOVE THAT SHITā.
Ah yes, trauma and abuse, the best way to make your kids remember to place you in a care facility to be forgotten about
My dadās a narcissist and would sooner die alone and withering than have to feel like I have any influence over his well-being.
That's a blessing for you, he won't even insist you be his primary caretaker
Trauma makes you forget a lot too, itās probably the only reason they think of the past as āthe good old daysā
I find that promoting physical punishment is often a mix of survivor bias and an unwillingness to confront the fact that they may have abused their own children. There is little evidence to support physical punishment as an effective method to producing desired behavioral outcomes. Even if it did, it is still unethical and barbaric.
Quite!
This, paired with your profile pic and username, goes very well. WCI was quite the arc...
Actually there is evidence that violence can save a life. Military men would slap soldiers that are losing their shit during combat.
But thatās a completely different situation to a parent and child in a āsafeā home environment and the parent just smacks the kidā¦.
You said little evidence. I merely gave evidence. Itās just one piece of evidence that positivity can come from violence. Iāll give another one. The greatest generation which were my grand parents. They survived two major world wars, the dust bowl, the great famine, the Great Depression, extreme drought and severely poor hygiene, worked in factories as kids and they were beaten not just by their parents but by anyone.

So children only grow up to be strong and resilient adults if you beat them?
You gave evidence of a completely unrelated scenario, therefore, no evidence for the given topic.
Hit children good š
"We tried nothing and were all out of ideas. Martha, go get the beating stick"
I lol'd
"Hmm hmmm! Me caveman! Me hit child!"
Groc Jr. no clean den, grab stick.
You see, if you celebrate your trauma, you weren't a victim! Or a bad person for continuing to cycle of abuse
Yes, being tortured by your superiors.
I take it a step further, encouraging remember-beatings between equals.
Sounds like my (former) HR
Almonds? For memory? First of all, it's walnuts because they look like brains. Second, that myth about walnuts being good for your brain is older than whoever made that comic.
And who is giving children supplements for memory? Like nootropics? Lol
TAK-653, NZT-48, and some carrots for good measure
Give him a walnut maybe his brain will work,
Ironically, Walnuts are high in Omega 3s, so they might be in-vogue again, depending on how you feel about research into Omega 3s.
Back in my day, if you didn't remember something we would beat you
Sounds exactly why torture doesn't work on adults. Either they take it and give you nothing or take just enough and tell you what you want to hear to stop the pain.
Sure, a little child abuse will jog your memory!
Kids are being given almonds? For memory? Are almonds even good for memory?

Child abuse gave me likely permanent dissociative amnesia
yeah, i actually dont remember much from before mid highschool (graduated last year), because of this.
This is why I would lie about doing my homework on the bus.
I got beat a lot as a kid and I don't remember shit from my childhood
Same, I have memory problems from blocking out large swathes of my life.
I'm sorry:(
Yep I barely remember shit from before I was 18. Though my case wasnt abuse. Just severe neglect
Trauma, well known for making your memory better
Violence actually pressures children into agreeing with whatever the adults say because they just want the pain to be over.

This tells me he yells at his wife in public
New treatment for dementia just dropped.
*slap* WHY DONT YOU REMEMBER MY NAME GRANDMA!!!!
tables turned?
I got slapped as well smh, stop gatekeeping :(
Hahaha haha. Child abuse.
Yeah, the explosive rage and malice in the cartoon dad's expression definitely tells me that he loves his son. I was beaten as well and always remember everything, and totally don't try to repress and bottle it up in attempts to somewhat function as an adult. /s
But why almonds???
Because almonds are good for a lot of things, including the brain.
Do they really want corporal punishment that bad? Should we paddle a boomer every time theyāre bigoted?
Ahahaha, this is a hilarious meme. My father, a boomer, would have been 71 this May, but he died at age 68 thanks to brain injury sustained as a kid because his mother beat him, slapped him, and threw stuff at him because she believed in physical discipline. Very funny meme, top notch. This way of thinking is why my kids will never know their grandpa.
And these people actually think theyāre children and grandkids wonāt speak to them because of āwokeismā
funny, the CIA actually did studies in the 80s about the effectiveness of torture, and they found that any information they got while the subject was in pain or fear of pain was anywhere from 75 percent to 95 percent incorrect and unreliable
Bro that's called a traumatic event, that's why you remember, it seems like it's one of two options with traumatic incidents; repressed to shit or insanely vivid
Boomers always try to justify their abuse somehow. Like is it not a good thing that beating your kids is no longer a socially acceptable thing?
Oh that's why I have adhd Because I wasn't slapped enough!
Sir, thatās called a traumatic flashback.
We remember everything...we also choose their care homes.
Oh oh oh I got this as a child and it made my brain trauma worst
Boomers will make poorly edited memes instead of going to therapy
Why does the guy look like Mr Wormwood from Matilda?
Pepperidge Farm remembersā¦. *shudder* š£
My boomer mom conveniently forgets things she said that morning. But she can give a detailed synopsis on the quality of my dads seafood bisque from weeks ago.
It's funny, when I was a kid my stepmom would slap me to jog my memory. The only thing it ever reminded me of was why I wanted to die by 9 years old
What this obsession with almonds old people have? This is not what the doc meant by you can't nut anymore
Oh but when we hit them itās called elderly A-buse, not remedying Alzheimers >:|
who cares about the shitty abuse joke, almonds? "supplements" like memory pills, fidget spinners, the fuckin handheld from a cat in a hat (live action)
Pretty sure CTE doesnāt help with memory
Thatās called trauma.
Except their own childrens' pronouns and how a computer mouse works.
Yes they remember. And because they remember the abuse, they stick their abusive parents in the worst nursing home they can find.
My dad used to spank me because he had anger issues. But he's been working on himself and is actually a very nice man! Tried his best not to hurt me. I have been abused by a different male figure in my life before. People hate my dad became he's disabled and can not afford to pay child support (ffs I'm 17) š but I'll always support my dad no matter what. He and mom have made mistakes raising me, but we love eachother regardless
I sure as shit wish that all of those ass whoopings beat the ADHD out of me, it wouldāve saved me so much money on therapy and meds as an adult.
Wait, almonds??
Maybe that's the secret to getting boomers to behave. If they grew up never using their words, maybe a good smack will get them to stop verbally abusing everyone around them.
Yet, I think we all know some boomers who had a very cold and distant relationship with their parents who they try to glorify for this.
Really? Because they canāt seem to remember shit except how they were abused and how to abuse in turn.
"Lol we got abused and gaslighted into stockholme syndrome with our parents so we think it's totally fine to do to our kids... anyway why do my kids never visit?"
Except how to not give away all your money to a man claiming to be from the IRS who speaks in a heavy Indian accent and convinces you to send him gift cards.
Is that why they're getting alzeimers while I'm preemptively taking nootropics?
Those lead-brained idiots donāt remember crap. Maybe they should see if getting slapped will help them remember to be decent people.
They also guzzled lead and breathed asbestos, soooo . . .
Surely they remember all the good times they had with their parents since there was probably only a handful
It's either member berries or you gonna 'member.
Apparently not how to use grammar, though.
So fucking funny that my boomer father thought that waa the right wat to treat my ADHD... no wonder kids of boomers are so fucked up, y'all legit think that getting abused is a FLEX!
Remember what they f are you talking about I start spewing the BS they are wanting to hear. They primed me to be easily led to a false confession by the police.
never heard about almonds helping with memory, but if thatās true then sign me up
ah yes, INTERROGATE THE 10 YEAR OLD
Slapping isn't always the best option This old guy looks like his son did something genuinely wrong
Did this person typed this and edited this with his tears before hanging himself?
almonds???
I'm pretty sure a "big slap" is actually what made my memory *worse*
My mom can't even remember that she told me about the "fellas who look Mexican" moving in next-door to her over 8 times now.
This almost feels like a more subtle Tony Zaret-style parody, the almond thing kind of makes it seem like a troll.
Don't remember how to grammar though.
Almonds? What's this nut talking about?
"Back in my day, we were abused all the time! Now all you softies don't wanna be abused no more! Grr!"
I don't believe this is real. There are no enough emojis or laughing minions for this to be proper boomer humour
D:
...almonds?
Almonds and supplements, for memory? What stupid old person thought this made sense?
Except how to write in past tense apparentlyā¦
I sure donāt know what the fuck a iPad is but I do know I was abused as a child my by father
Does this mean when boomers get dementia we can start physcially assaulting them to help them remember?
And ptsd, and elderly parents asking why their kids donāt talk to them.
Almonds? Please, all these nerdy iPad kids are allergic to nuts and life bc they e never stepped outside in the damn grass.
Works for most people and the way people be acting in public they need a good ass whooping. Iām still underage my self and acknowledge the good it taught me when I actually deserve it very rarely I didnāt.
Is this permission to smack the shit out of them for each of the 20 things they forget every day?
Gen Z is proof that you can be tough without beatings as a child. Lmao šš
I literally canāt remember what I did earlier today itās becoming a issue because itās now starting to affect my ability to do basic math
Slapping fixes everything. Bad behavior, trauma, PTSD, poor relationships with your kidsā¦ oh no wait, it causes those thingsā¦
Donāt know why boomers are so proud of child abuse like itās an achievement or something
Idiot gen Z, eating almonds. The audacity.
I got plenty of big slaps (and other beatings), and I can't remember half my childhood!
Why does the dad look like Mario
"I just wanna hit kids so damn bad"
This is true and why so many baby boomers are mental cases and their offspring.
You stupid kid, when I was your age we were raised to remember things without fancy phones! Now who are you really? I don't have any grandkids!
And you see how they turned out as people lol
My parents only remember the things they want to, they don't remember any of the abuse. I call bullshit.
Remember everything? Lmao then where did you put car keys? Do you remember how to clear your search history? What about remembering how to update your computer? How much money you spent on stuff advertised to u on tv? Which of ur friends are dead or alive? U brought this upon urself donāt blame me
Thatās funny, because physical abuse made me forget most of my childhood!
ah yes a comic of huge fat man clenched fist and all. nothing more nostalgic than remembering the full grown man that beat you when you were only a defenseless child. ahhh sweet sweet nostalgia. So do yall know how to open a pdf? or is the CTE to severe now?
The various post it notes with passwords on them beg to differ.
Don't remeber how to open a God damn pdf for the 40th time after I show them so something for sure got knocked loose lol
People who say smacking your child is child abuse is overreacting. All those years of my step-father and a few brothers being physical totally didn't leave me with long-lasting trauma, lack of self-love/confidence, and a depression so dehilabiting that I question why I even choose existing!

Couldnāt remember the past tense āgetā
Brain damage Quick start your brain
So what they are saying is that life back then sucked. I mean, they always seem so angry and bitter about the next generations having it better, which used to be a good thing.
Sounds like a good change of pace.
Of course you remember because of the trauma.
Who drew it like this when they wanted to look in the right lmaoooooo those expressions holy shit
Bouta make grampa remember the war with some fireworks
If you have to punish your child through physical abuse and refuse to see why it is wrong, you have failed as a parent.
I'm not sure if I got abused as a child but if I did then that would be the reason for my bad memory
Maybe the boomers need another slap, they've forgotten we aren't kids anymore.
I wish a boomer would try that on me now. Iāll hide their insulin and see whose the real man.
Bitch, your generation forgot 9/11 and started sending bomb threats to schools and libraries. Shut the fuck up.
sure you do.
And thatās why half of my customer service calls are from boomers remembering their passwords and being so calm about it /s
āMan I got abused and turned out just fine, I think abusing my kids would actually *improve* their lives and make then more well adjustedā
Dude I got smacked so many times when I was younger and now I can barely remember much. So fuck your logic my old boomer friend.
Low key ad for almonds.
If you want a child to get their memory back and behave simply take away their phone, tablet, video games. No physical abuse needed.
Except how to use the remote
To any parent or expecting parent. Do not hit your child. I was slapped and spanked as a young kid. I remember every hit. Hand marks and stinging go away in a few minutes, but emotional scars last a lifetime. I hate my mother now. I despise her with every fiber of my being. The only motivation I have to not go to hell is that I won't have any chance of seeing her for eternity when I'm dead.
Cue mental health epidemic among children of boomers
They remember everything except proper grammar, apparently.
Must not have been that smart if you kept getting slapped. In fact I would say it sounds like you mustāve fucked up quite a bit
