I'm lucky all I got were spankings because the alternate would have been death playing and tempting life the way I did as a kid. Frankly, I feel the good Lord saved me in certain death scenarios so that he could watch as my parents shredded a hole in my jean bottoms with their belt.
It is no accident that I rolled off my skateboard while flying down an East LA hill right before it deviated into a busy street only to get devoured by a passing truck. It is no accident that a branch broke my fall as I lost my grip 20 or so feet above it. Many, many other close calls where those story's came from.
A kid at that age does NOT connect being saved by a branch or a "lucky" roll off a death board with a life lesson. Nope. What made the connection was a stern consequence laden tirade from my father followed by the "if you ever do it again" fire of a well crafted leather belt.
I got spanked so hard the sound of my crying left the human auditory spectrum. There was a pause between sound of about 8 seconds. All the visuals were there. The face of horror, the tears, the wide open mouth but no sound. I remember it even made my father hit the pause button on the ass whooping as he hadn't encountered an "ass whooping" scenerio that had so much return on investment. Once he realized I was simply catching my breath and that the action simply created a black hole where not even sound could escape he finished the job.
The honest to God truth is that I probably would have loved my father less should he have not disciplined me. No one should respect a wet noodle. My father is no wet noodle.
HS Coaches would use the WONDER PADDLE...damn thing had holes in it and when you bent over the table, the paddle would whistle through the air...AND THEN BAM!!! Feet would actually lift off the floor...
Had, my kid EVER gotten paddled, I'd have broken that thing across the teacher's/coach's/dean's/principal's skull and put them in the hospital. God as my witness.
You DO NOT EVER HIT MY KID FOR ANY REASON. I will discipline my child myself, with NO help from any other. My discipline will be just as harsh, or worse, and will be rightfully administered ... AS A PARENT IS DUTIFULLY BOUND.
I am the parent, no one else. I need NO ONE ELSE'S HELP disciplining my child. ABSOLUTELY tell me in great detail everything my kid did wrong in my absence ... but leave the actual discipline to ME. Keep your F`ing sense of authority to yourself.
Now, that being said ... little liberal princess needs a reality check, definitely.
I am a GOOD parent, thus my kids will never be disrespectful to a NON-Family authority figure to an extent where physical discipline would be considered.
Rest assured, you have stepped WAY OVER THE LINE if you physically assault my kid ... and I will be legally within my rights to defend them to the extent I will. I may spend time in jail awaiting trial, but not longer: jury or judge will side with me.
I can believe you got downvoted and he got upvoted, smh. This people are really trying to justify and cope with the smacks they got, and are jealous and upset that these people didn't have lives like them.
There is no justification for using paddles drilled with holes on children, none, I don't care what they did.
I agree, there is NO REASON for an adult to paddle any child that is not their own, be it AT SCHOOL or anywhere. If A PARENT uses a paddle as a form of punishment AT HOME, that is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Parenting techniques can be way different from family to family, but it is up to the FAMILY to choose what works best. There are always limitations, of course: "abuse" has a WIDE OPEN definition.
Abuse from a parent is WAY DIFFERENT than "abuse" from an adult NOT OF THE FAMILY. If I slap my kid for being disrespectful or rude or for vulgar language, that is A PARENT DISCIPLINING THERE CHILD. If another adult slaps my kid, that's ABSOLUTELY ABUSE (legally defined as ASSAULT) and I will protect my child from the abuser and retaliate to ANY EXTENT I FEEL IS NECESSARY at that time.
Yall understand where Im coming from, now?
I stand by what I said: touch my kid and I will F your shit up. Assign them to detention for the rest of their life .... fine. Kick them out of school... ok. But leave the physical discipline up to the parents.
Bunch of fragile snowflakes on here, truly. I’ll tell you one thing—the paddles worked. Proof: they’re here (and I’m here) and not on some libtard forum.
Yeah it straightened me up too, but only a certain percentage of the population responds this way to spankings, and usually with traumatic side effect that people will deny because their parents loved them and don't want to accept that their punishment methods actually were damaging psychologically...
The issue with my generation isn't a lack of spankings, it's a lack of fathers and strong males growing up. Men don't have to hit children to teach them because children aren't animals they are small humans, so we should use the same methods we use with other humans.
"Damaging psychologically"? Yes yes, that's right. Sometimes when walking the hallway at work I'll pass co-workers up that will randomly flinch while cowering and looking up at me like Smeagol from Lord of the Rings. Then as I apprach a bit closer I can hear them say......"no,..no... papa! I didn't take any candy from the forbidden sugar jar! Please..no more spankings papa! Your going to give me psychological damage up until my 40's!"
They usually come to after I gently tap on their shoulder and tell them everything is gonna be ok. I tell them that life is gonna be fine and full of fucking gum drops and hello kitty shit. I tell them how they'll never encounter pain and trauma but if they ever should feel any fear that they should drop a little gum drop in their yapper and they will come back to "Unicornia" where a fucking unicorn will promptly wisk them away into the rainbow but not before giving them a tour of the hello kitty factory where all workers are 18 or older and suicide nets bounce you up like a trampolin into a ball pit made of warm Smores.
Fuk-outa-here Silo! We're talking about spankings not beatings. You need to Amazon yourself some testosterone, a Penthouse and a pack of reds and man the fuck up lol.
Fuk. I can hear Silo now.."Penthouse objectifies woman and you should really start looking and appreciating them for their barf..(whimpers)...blah..(crying)..blah..(lispy words)..blahh..blah.."
Thank you!. Getting my ass whooped saved me A LOT of trouble. Taught me manners and respect. Granted, my dad's old and frail now, so we are polite towards one another, and everyone else. Kek.
Fuck off, kids don't need to be slapped into submission to turn out right.
If your parents needed to slap you because you didn't know right from wrong, maybe you should learn where you picked up the behavior that got you spanked.
Right because kids know right from wrong before they know right from wrong.
What in your estimation gives gravity to wrong? We know what gives "right" its meaning but what gives "wrong" it's meaning? Words, a talking to? Na. Words and a talking to are simply the warning sign. If one doesn't heed the warning sign than one does not get another warning sign. What happens in the real world is that one carelessly runs into oncoming traffic. If one were to be lucky enough to survive that screw up than consequences of that screw up have to follow. You don't get to walk life without some sort of consequence to bad actions even if one escapes death.
Part of parenting and yes part of being a good parent (IMO) is loving and part of loving is dealing out punishment even when it also hurts oneself to do so. One doesn't get to "parent" the easy way. Parents don't get to play with kids, take them on vacation, ball games and teach them to learn but then delegate the punishment to "life" or for the world to teach ones kids the lessons that should have been taught by the parent. Parents don't get to simply reap the rewards of the good times without also dealing with the agony of punishing our kids when it needs to be done.
With every spanking a parent gives it not only teaches the lesson but also indirectly teaches the kid that life is sometimes not fun but the job has to be done regardless of one's wants. Spanking is a purely selfless act. It ONLY benefits the child. The parent gets no future rewards for such an action. In fact the parent has to live with that decision in agony for ever. The parent caused pain to someone they love more than their own life. Do you realize, I mean really understand the gravity of such action? Parents take on the burden with no return other than the fact our agony will help the very thing we love more than life itself.
You are not only wrong but lack depth of thought and consequence. Your thoughts and words even deceive you.
So many people downvoting you and upvoting those talking about the abuse they received like it was this great normal thing.
They are coping so hard, because they are jealous they weren't treated like kids today..
You are 100% right that it is damaging psychologically, and they are deflecting so hard, and coping that beatings are what turned them into good people, and not good roll models.
My brother is a wonderful child, who has never been beat, and is the sweetest thing in the world. He cries horribly when he's in trouble, because he knows he did wrong and feels guilt. We did not need to slap that into him.
He has had strong male role models in his life, and had people around him with good morals, that is all that is needed to raise a kid right.
You lost me at "coping so hard..", "deflecting so hard.." and "coping that beatings.."
Come back to us StanceDancing. Your words wreak of too much time on the 'LibNet'. The fact that your on this forum gives hope that your still salvageable. Don't fuck it up. Come back to the light StanceDancing. Fight the dying of the light! Come back damnit!
I still remember being told "Dont touch the stove, it's hot..." red hot burner, my smart ass pressed my finger down on it. I never did that again. Picked my burnt fingertip for daaays. I was 4. Good times!
Yes, most likely. But there is definitely a difference. What you and Silo and yes, many of us others might have experienced (abuse) and the type of spanking a loving parent administers. They happen only occasionally and are applied to little bottoms that are naturally padded and can handle a couple of not-too-hard pats. Sometimes they can be a life-saver.
Well shit! My bad. I guess Silo should have mentioned beatings rather than "spankings".
I guess it's my fault for taking Silo's words for their definition. Let me know when this conversation gets back to literal meanings rather than metaphorical.
You can't have it both ways especially when speaking of such topics. You will be held and ridiculed to your words around here.
It was always the threat of spanking that kept us in line. Back in those days, it was the norm so you expected it but (in my case) never actually got it.
I'll bet none of them ever experienced a hard day's work in their entire life. Much less, keeping it up all week, every week, every month, year after year. No wonder Elon carried in a sink....BUH BYE
They are a very specific program batch. I figured out how these programs work even before I was awake.
Manufactured common experience. Milestones, traditions, ceremony, holidays, events, language, music, same needs, same wants, or same lack of needs or same lack of wants. Socio-economics, same primary schools (by zip code), same universities, trade school, military service, generational experience. Then throw on a shared media projection of what the world is, a catalogue of identities to choose from, but all is batch recognition, not choice.
These things happen naturally of course outside captivity -- but if you can manufacture enough common experience, on a population in captivity, then a population can be programmed by batches. The programming is self-protecting and self-enforcing through social rejection and exclusion.
Pavlov's self regulating pack of dogs.
If you fall too far out of the parameters of any batch then you are too divergent to stay asleep. Autism is, at default, too divergent.
Ever see the “rat utopia” videos? Engineered environments with selected specimens for study. Limits structured to ensure eventual collapse. The rats don’t know they’re test subjects either. They get free pellets too.
Ya that shit is a lie. I work in tech industry and women get promoted when they don't deserve it ALL THE TIME. Their skill level is low. However, there are still a lot of smart, hardworking women that deserve their promotions.
Curious, are you on the coast? I'm a women in Tech but in the Midwest. It's really easy for me to get a Tech job, but almost impossible to get promoted. Everyone wants to keep me working myself into a grave in Support roles (Help Desk, Tier 2). Maybe I suck at my job, but I'm thinking it's more along the lines of keeping me from interrupting their "Old Boys Club" meetings and lunches. Honestly I've had at least 7 Tech jobs and not one ever had a woman in Tech Leadership.
I admittedly started sandbagging two years ago when I spent every day of 2021 expecting to get fired for refusing the jab, once SCOTUS shot down the mandate and they started throwing raises at me begging me to stay I've continued to do the minimum while using the extra money to prep. However even still I do over 10x the work in a day that this Twat does in a week.
My daughter met an engineer who worked at SpaceX. She said he told how the buildings were big and spacious and sometimes when they'd go get a water or something from employee kitchen, and stop and chat for a moment with another employee, Elon would walk by and say, "What are you doing? Take your water back to your station and get some work done! What am I paying you for?"
I can't wait to see what he says to these iced maccha-drinking time wasters!
Used to work for someone like that. I was the only person who stood up to him as well. When he used to ask why I wasn't at my desk (grabbing a coffee) I just told him I was still thinking about the work and he should judge me by my results, not how long I glued my arse to a seat like most everyone else.
His face was a picture, but he never asked me again. I was also one of the last on the list to be let go when his company hid the skids.
That was both hilarious and revolting. I know there are other nurses on here that can corroborate, but my day as LPN in a long term care facility goes like this: Clock in, do med count and patient reports with previous nurse. Spend the next eight to nine hours passing out medications, checking vitals, making sure dementia patients aren't trying to escape (they are), check blood sugars and give insulin. Answer call bells that never stop and pretend to take a meal break by punching out and in again. With 30 to 35 patients per shift, that's a lot of work with no break. But worst of all: I've never been able to locate the Meditation Room at any facility where I've worked.
I've been wondering how twitter gets their money since the business doesn't sustain itself with advertising, no way. So basically, US gov funded, foreign gov funds it, and probably used as a blackmail tool against corporations or someone will make up bullshit about them, and send the mobs against them.
They're corporate pets not employees. Its like that Linkdn tik tok chick. A whole day of lounging around, quiet rooms and expensive foods and drinks with pretty much no work. Like human cats.
That's the thing: they're not scared to be fired. Well, check that. They're scared of the process of being fired and having to face the fact that someone somewhere doesn't think they're the bee's knees and super valuable to humanity.
But they absolutely think they'll be able to waltz into another Big Tech job at another office somewhere. Or failing that, they can be a "project manager" at some well funded startup who might not have a fully automated wine machine or their own chef prepared brunch available for rooftop patio dining, but still will give them gold stars for making presentations that say "We need to engage our customers moar! YAY!"
The problem is they've never seen a recession before, and the one we're on the eve of is looking like it's going to grow into a depression. They don't realize that alphabet (Google) has just announced they plan to slow down hiring (which is a prelude to freezing it then doing mass layoffs), or that Meta (facebook) is about jettison a few thousand competitors into the workforce. They think the unemployment rate will stay at 3.5% while the demand for tech employees will continue to grow. They don't realize that as this SuckFest gets going the first thing that's getting cut is the advertising budget which is bad news if you're in an industry that depends on advertising dollars to fund it.
And those side hustles are about to dry up, too.
And inflation is about to wipe out whatever you've been saving up (assuming you've been saving up).
But I actually have faith in these kids (the Gen Z'ers, not so much the millenials). Even though they haven't really been challenged, I see some natural grit and the drive necessary to make it through this. I think when the game is on, they're going to roll up their sleeves and get to work rather than sitting around crying about they miss the meditation rooms and free doggy daycare at the office.
Good developers and computer scientists and architects sure. What we've been seeing for awhile is near zero interest rates allowing for unprecedented monetary expansion. It gets to a point where locking down all available talent is a good business decision so that you aren't left hurting for it when you need to go looking. But with monetary contraction + shareholder obligations, these companies are going to need to shed the less talented and more tangential talent.
I expect to see non-CS people shed. Probably the less apt coders that haven't gotten around to making each mistake twice.
The solid devs and CS/math/stats people will stay and will probably be compensated better. They can keep a company alive when it consolidates back to its mission. They can lead it out when the boom starts. And with some of the chaff gone, its easier for competitors to see and put offers on the prime talent. So there's that. These businesses know that good devs are like good artists and experienced good ones don't exist in anywhere near the numbers people outside the industry think.
Tech surged during COVID because of financial witchery. FAANG wasn't exactly moving mountains with new innovation and disruptors weren't exactly rising up. The cloud was just much better adopted and shareholders jumped on theme while the federal reserve vomited money into the floor of the markets via Blackrock and the Treasury. Bitter insiders were painting the top companies as being even more zombie than they were in 2019.
I would say that comparing this to covid is a mistake. The lockdowns drove more people online and ultimately drove more money into the tech sector. It looked like tech bucked the trend, but it was basically just benefiting from the downturn in other sectors of the economy.
In a recession, spending goes down across the board, and tech is on shakey ground as a lot of the products and services can be viewed as luxuries... or at least optional. When customers stop paying subscriptions, consuming content, or buying the current pretty device, the money flowing into the sector is going to drop. Companies are going to need to start managing costs, and the only way to do that is by managing payroll and product lines.
Bottom line is those hundreds of thousands of job openings are going to start getting yanked while the number of people who can do them is going to increase.
Those who can't be reassigned or are redundant get pink slipped and re-enter the job market. Eventually some MBA will rediscover "outsourcing", and then someone else will come up with a new word for "topgrading" and write a book on it. More competition for less jobs available.
Meta has already started to turtle down, alphabet as well after a terribad quarterly report a few days ago. About to see it from Twitter big time.
It's not the end of the world. Tech workers are still going to have it easier than others in a lot of cases, but I'd expect the salaries to get a littler lower, the perks to dry up, and the process of finding a job to get harder. Will get worse longer the recession lasts.
And if someone's one of the people who's a "project manager" or "community moderator" that likes to say they are a tech worker... they should either be looking into developing high demand skills or thinking about a lateral career change right about now.
To be fair, a lot of tech employees are non-technical. The small group of talented more senior developers and computer scientists that can analyze and implement are few and far between.
It's more likely they start axing amenities staff. Then marketing and communications people. Then some of the non-computer-science non-math non-statistics doctorates. Also the less performant junior developers. And if they're at that point, hopefully they gut HR and burn policies like the one where white people need to get sign off from a PoC.
Yep, when I had a job interview with Microsoft at the Redmond campus, this is almost exactly what it looks like in that video -- cafes everywhere, foosball, ping pong tables and air hockey tables in every building across campus (at least the ones I visited, had them all) and many more.
I thought to myself, "Wow so that's why Windows is a shitty bloatware OS! Way too many people slacking off and not fixing shit!"
Suffice to say, I didn't get the job (wasn't even a job position that related to what I majored in college). Prior to visiting Microsoft, I thought it would be a dream job even though I didn't like Microsoft at all but after visiting the campus, I'm glad I didn't get the job. I felt way out of place at Microsoft so I didn't think I could stomach a day or two working there.
How do you get people to comply with your evil deeds? You pay them off, you install a plush daycare environment where they can drink and socialize and play games all day. It’s called being rewarded for complying.
I'm still trying to figure out what she actually does for a living... other than luxuriate for a paycheck, that is. I mean, I've worked in places like that, but the meetings are power meetings. You have to actually produce something of value to have anyone actually want you there. They give you a ton of free stuff but expect you take it back to your office and work.
So again, what does our affirmative action quota hire actually do for a living?
Nah, never mind. I don't need to know. I'd never sell my soul to get a job like that.
They don't. Notice how all of that stuff looks untouched. Videos like this are how they sucker people into thinking that this line of work is all sunshine and roses.
So these are the mfers running around screaming oppression? You've gotta be f%$king kidding me.. Let's show these people some oppression and make them actually have to work to pay their f#@king bills. SPOILED BRATS!
I made the post because seems like the good guys are trying to make social media better. I’m still on Instagram, nothing like I was a year ago. I agree, it wouldn’t be a loss if they die. I see people all the time say, “I’m on Facebook to talk to friends and family” Didn’t they communicate before Facebook?!
These are not employee's, they're corporate welfare recipients. Elon is going to burn this all down. I do love the list of DEMANDS these pussies sent to Elon! LOL!!! Demands..oh that's rich. None of these people will be able to survive in an actual corporate environment after they're fired.
A bunch of pampered must hires who check the box on diversity, sitting around all day pretending they are adding value by censoring views they have been taught to hate. These people will never have it as easy again. In fact, I doubt they ever become productive citizens.
I had to go back to the work I h8(linux engineer) thanks to all the covid shit killing my fabrication business, but I still do fabrication when people call me, which oddly enough I am getting more and more calls/week lately. I prefer the coalescing of metal than banging on the damn keyboard.
Idk how much welders make in a cold trench I just hope he makes enough to make that type of work worthwhile. Side note I appreciate you as an anon..i see your comments often. I hope moass and the great awakening bring you and your family all the blessings to come.
I can't believe everyone is bitching about what she is saying she does, all the while neglecting the fact that there is no one else around. They have meditation rooms and yoga and the rooftop... no one else. Are they working? Or do they not even exist? was this video a set up for some reason? Did she go in on a Sunday to get the video? Where are the people? If I could play outside on the rooftop at work, I'd be out there. With my glass of wine. Where are the people like me? The only people I saw were the three or four in the meeting.
How can you have a workplace like a spa and still be so hateful and full of rage?
Never spanked as a child, no consequences for anything, everyone gets a trophy.
Spanking isn't discipline.
That’s not how I remember it. Straightened my ass up quick.
I remember, "Stop crying or I'll really give you something to cry about!" as she bare-handed spanked my little girl thigh.
I remember one time she hit me so hard she broke a vein in her hand.
She'd also say, "This is hurting me more than it is you."
You too huh. :/
Me three
Hijacking’s to warn everyone of this fake video. This is actually footage from NY’s new immigrant housing facility…lol.
I remember running in circles to avoid the belt! I even put a magazine down my pants once. Those were the days.
Brother is that you?
Your telling the story of my childhood. 😆
I'm lucky all I got were spankings because the alternate would have been death playing and tempting life the way I did as a kid. Frankly, I feel the good Lord saved me in certain death scenarios so that he could watch as my parents shredded a hole in my jean bottoms with their belt.
It is no accident that I rolled off my skateboard while flying down an East LA hill right before it deviated into a busy street only to get devoured by a passing truck. It is no accident that a branch broke my fall as I lost my grip 20 or so feet above it. Many, many other close calls where those story's came from.
A kid at that age does NOT connect being saved by a branch or a "lucky" roll off a death board with a life lesson. Nope. What made the connection was a stern consequence laden tirade from my father followed by the "if you ever do it again" fire of a well crafted leather belt.
Simple.
My parents would use a fly swatter.
Mom had a swatter!
I got spanked so hard the sound of my crying left the human auditory spectrum. There was a pause between sound of about 8 seconds. All the visuals were there. The face of horror, the tears, the wide open mouth but no sound. I remember it even made my father hit the pause button on the ass whooping as he hadn't encountered an "ass whooping" scenerio that had so much return on investment. Once he realized I was simply catching my breath and that the action simply created a black hole where not even sound could escape he finished the job.
The honest to God truth is that I probably would have loved my father less should he have not disciplined me. No one should respect a wet noodle. My father is no wet noodle.
Sounds like a parent who loves you and just wants the best for you.
Yes, but also one who had never learned any other method to respond.
HS Coaches would use the WONDER PADDLE...damn thing had holes in it and when you bent over the table, the paddle would whistle through the air...AND THEN BAM!!! Feet would actually lift off the floor...
Now, ask me how I know!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😁😁😁😁😁😁😎😎😎😎😎
That business is the gayest shit ever
lol
I remember those. I remember one guy who had no padding on his bottom (super skinny). I think the teach got his tail bone because he was hurting.
... and broke the paddle. Breaking paddles on someones butt is a special frat practice.
Had, my kid EVER gotten paddled, I'd have broken that thing across the teacher's/coach's/dean's/principal's skull and put them in the hospital. God as my witness.
You DO NOT EVER HIT MY KID FOR ANY REASON. I will discipline my child myself, with NO help from any other. My discipline will be just as harsh, or worse, and will be rightfully administered ... AS A PARENT IS DUTIFULLY BOUND.
I am the parent, no one else. I need NO ONE ELSE'S HELP disciplining my child. ABSOLUTELY tell me in great detail everything my kid did wrong in my absence ... but leave the actual discipline to ME. Keep your F`ing sense of authority to yourself.

Bunch of fragile snowflakes on here, truly. I’ll tell you one thing—the paddles worked. Proof: they’re here (and I’m here) and not on some libtard forum.
Silo is talking about narcissist parents that beat the shit out of you for asking a question.
Yeah it straightened me up too, but only a certain percentage of the population responds this way to spankings, and usually with traumatic side effect that people will deny because their parents loved them and don't want to accept that their punishment methods actually were damaging psychologically...

Fuk-outa-here Silo! We're talking about spankings not beatings. You need to Amazon yourself some testosterone, a Penthouse and a pack of reds and man the fuck up lol.
Fuk. I can hear Silo now.."Penthouse objectifies woman and you should really start looking and appreciating them for their barf..(whimpers)...blah..(crying)..blah..(lispy words)..blahh..blah.."
Thank you!. Getting my ass whooped saved me A LOT of trouble. Taught me manners and respect. Granted, my dad's old and frail now, so we are polite towards one another, and everyone else. Kek.
Yeah, because now he's old and you could be the one doing the spanking.
Did you have narcissistic parents? If not, be grateful.
The problem isn’t with the narcissist parents. It’s with the fragile snowflake kids.
Fuck off, kids don't need to be slapped into submission to turn out right.
If your parents needed to slap you because you didn't know right from wrong, maybe you should learn where you picked up the behavior that got you spanked.
Right because kids know right from wrong before they know right from wrong.

Part of parenting and yes part of being a good parent (IMO) is loving and part of loving is dealing out punishment even when it also hurts oneself to do so. One doesn't get to "parent" the easy way. Parents don't get to play with kids, take them on vacation, ball games and teach them to learn but then delegate the punishment to "life" or for the world to teach ones kids the lessons that should have been taught by the parent. Parents don't get to simply reap the rewards of the good times without also dealing with the agony of punishing our kids when it needs to be done.
With every spanking a parent gives it not only teaches the lesson but also indirectly teaches the kid that life is sometimes not fun but the job has to be done regardless of one's wants. Spanking is a purely selfless act. It ONLY benefits the child. The parent gets no future rewards for such an action. In fact the parent has to live with that decision in agony for ever. The parent caused pain to someone they love more than their own life. Do you realize, I mean really understand the gravity of such action? Parents take on the burden with no return other than the fact our agony will help the very thing we love more than life itself.
You are not only wrong but lack depth of thought and consequence. Your thoughts and words even deceive you.
I can recognize when someone is talking about their own narcissistic "parents." I unfortunately know exactly what the deal is, fren.
So many people downvoting you and upvoting those talking about the abuse they received like it was this great normal thing.
They are coping so hard, because they are jealous they weren't treated like kids today..
You are 100% right that it is damaging psychologically, and they are deflecting so hard, and coping that beatings are what turned them into good people, and not good roll models.
My brother is a wonderful child, who has never been beat, and is the sweetest thing in the world. He cries horribly when he's in trouble, because he knows he did wrong and feels guilt. We did not need to slap that into him.
He has had strong male role models in his life, and had people around him with good morals, that is all that is needed to raise a kid right.
You lost me at "coping so hard..", "deflecting so hard.." and "coping that beatings.."
Come back to us StanceDancing. Your words wreak of too much time on the 'LibNet'. The fact that your on this forum gives hope that your still salvageable. Don't fuck it up. Come back to the light StanceDancing. Fight the dying of the light! Come back damnit!
I'm surprised you came back after getting SPANKED so hard for your comments.
Sorry, couldn't resist. (Yeah, maybe it doesn't work for you... that's okay fren)
Violence is the only language some people understand. Thats why cops carry guns.
Humans are hard wired to learn from pain.
I'm not referring to a beating or child abuse, but a smacked arse is preferable to learning what pulling a hot pan of water over myself feels like.
I still remember being told "Dont touch the stove, it's hot..." red hot burner, my smart ass pressed my finger down on it. I never did that again. Picked my burnt fingertip for daaays. I was 4. Good times!
Silo is referring to narcissistic parents that beat the shit out of you for no reason, with no alcohol or drugs needing to be consumed.
Yes, most likely. But there is definitely a difference. What you and Silo and yes, many of us others might have experienced (abuse) and the type of spanking a loving parent administers. They happen only occasionally and are applied to little bottoms that are naturally padded and can handle a couple of not-too-hard pats. Sometimes they can be a life-saver.
Well shit! My bad. I guess Silo should have mentioned beatings rather than "spankings".
I guess it's my fault for taking Silo's words for their definition. Let me know when this conversation gets back to literal meanings rather than metaphorical.
You can't have it both ways especially when speaking of such topics. You will be held and ridiculed to your words around here.
He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
It was always the threat of spanking that kept us in line. Back in those days, it was the norm so you expected it but (in my case) never actually got it.
Try that with your kids. They'll be perfect for Twitter as employees in 18 years.
I'll bet none of them ever experienced a hard day's work in their entire life. Much less, keeping it up all week, every week, every month, year after year. No wonder Elon carried in a sink....BUH BYE
It would have been more appropriate to lug in a toilet.
Lol
They are a very specific program batch. I figured out how these programs work even before I was awake.
Manufactured common experience. Milestones, traditions, ceremony, holidays, events, language, music, same needs, same wants, or same lack of needs or same lack of wants. Socio-economics, same primary schools (by zip code), same universities, trade school, military service, generational experience. Then throw on a shared media projection of what the world is, a catalogue of identities to choose from, but all is batch recognition, not choice.
These things happen naturally of course outside captivity -- but if you can manufacture enough common experience, on a population in captivity, then a population can be programmed by batches. The programming is self-protecting and self-enforcing through social rejection and exclusion.
Pavlov's self regulating pack of dogs.
If you fall too far out of the parameters of any batch then you are too divergent to stay asleep. Autism is, at default, too divergent.
Ever see the “rat utopia” videos? Engineered environments with selected specimens for study. Limits structured to ensure eventual collapse. The rats don’t know they’re test subjects either. They get free pellets too.

I haven't. Looks like a short vid though, going to watch it now.
"all rivers flow into the sea, yet the sea is never satisfied."
Those who are given much without giving much effort always want more and want to give less.
Thanks.
Red wine on tap.
Retard Daycare….
LOL, best description I’ve seen to date.
If they hadn’t gone full woke and censored half the country they could’ve kept these cushy jobs. Now they’re going to lose them, and they should.
Yep. Dumbass retards.
I am going to ask my boss tomorrow where our meditation room is. She probably makes 140k a year doing NOTHING. I hate all these people. Whatever.
Edie: A ton of projects we needed to knock out. Translation: A bunch of conservatives that needed to be censored.
Ok. I underestimated. It is $250k
https://www.levels.fyi/companies/twitter/salaries/software-engineer
Yes working at any of these big tech companies is very high paying.
That is san francisco. 140k per year is low.. she should be raking in $220k per year (includes stocks and comp) minimum
She makes so little because of the wage gap you misogynist bigot you!!
Ya that shit is a lie. I work in tech industry and women get promoted when they don't deserve it ALL THE TIME. Their skill level is low. However, there are still a lot of smart, hardworking women that deserve their promotions.
Curious, are you on the coast? I'm a women in Tech but in the Midwest. It's really easy for me to get a Tech job, but almost impossible to get promoted. Everyone wants to keep me working myself into a grave in Support roles (Help Desk, Tier 2). Maybe I suck at my job, but I'm thinking it's more along the lines of keeping me from interrupting their "Old Boys Club" meetings and lunches. Honestly I've had at least 7 Tech jobs and not one ever had a woman in Tech Leadership.
Cripes, this makes my time-wasting procrastinating lazy ass look like a Japanese salaryman on the verge of karoshi.
I admittedly started sandbagging two years ago when I spent every day of 2021 expecting to get fired for refusing the jab, once SCOTUS shot down the mandate and they started throwing raises at me begging me to stay I've continued to do the minimum while using the extra money to prep. However even still I do over 10x the work in a day that this Twat does in a week.
😂😂😂
At least you probably contribute something valuable to society. You've earned your lazy time, fren.
Red wine on tap? Meditation and yoga rooms?
Welp. There are plenty of places to cut the budget.
That's for sure!
Bagsie the coffee machine when they turf it out
I don't care how hot she could be, listening to that for more than 5 minutes in a day would lead me to suicide.
This is why men have the highest suicide rate.
I thought it was just me...
My daughter met an engineer who worked at SpaceX. She said he told how the buildings were big and spacious and sometimes when they'd go get a water or something from employee kitchen, and stop and chat for a moment with another employee, Elon would walk by and say, "What are you doing? Take your water back to your station and get some work done! What am I paying you for?"
I can't wait to see what he says to these iced maccha-drinking time wasters!
He's a driven person, and they drive people hard.
Not always a good thing.
Used to work for someone like that. I was the only person who stood up to him as well. When he used to ask why I wasn't at my desk (grabbing a coffee) I just told him I was still thinking about the work and he should judge me by my results, not how long I glued my arse to a seat like most everyone else.
His face was a picture, but he never asked me again. I was also one of the last on the list to be let go when his company hid the skids.
People need to grow some balls sometimes.
Brilliant response. Good on ya!
Yes, so many cowardly people.
Learn to wait tables, Libtard!
Just warn us where she will be working. I'll go elsewhere to eat.
Lol, hilarious. Even the supposed 'meetings' don't sound legit.🤣
No, they're legit. How else would they strategize the doxing and firing of people with real jobs?
Makes sense. That & censorship are the only things they would need to discuss.
worthless fucking women with made up jobs to fill quotas. disgusting.
i hope they all end up on onlyfans after being fired.
Not sure these woketards are good enough looking for that.
Then again, I'm sure some white knight soft guy probably also from SF would give her money...
I'm sure watching a video of them drinking shitty box wine and crying while watching videos of their old job would do it for some people.
Snort!
I think I figured it out fellas. You just go to work at one of these woke companies, pretend to be woke, and steal their money
I'm not sure I could be that convincingly braindead.
Just go to the red wine dispenser if you're not feeling stupid enough and start chugging
That was both hilarious and revolting. I know there are other nurses on here that can corroborate, but my day as LPN in a long term care facility goes like this: Clock in, do med count and patient reports with previous nurse. Spend the next eight to nine hours passing out medications, checking vitals, making sure dementia patients aren't trying to escape (they are), check blood sugars and give insulin. Answer call bells that never stop and pretend to take a meal break by punching out and in again. With 30 to 35 patients per shift, that's a lot of work with no break. But worst of all: I've never been able to locate the Meditation Room at any facility where I've worked.
I've been wondering how twitter gets their money since the business doesn't sustain itself with advertising, no way. So basically, US gov funded, foreign gov funds it, and probably used as a blackmail tool against corporations or someone will make up bullshit about them, and send the mobs against them.
Don’t forget data, they collect and package the user data and sell to third parties - it’s an entire industry.
If the black money technologies got released we would all have work days like that
For sure it's a nice workplace, but it's full of snakes.
They're corporate pets not employees. Its like that Linkdn tik tok chick. A whole day of lounging around, quiet rooms and expensive foods and drinks with pretty much no work. Like human cats.
Like human cats, lol. Perfect analogy.
No wonder rhey are so scared to be fired. They'll never find a place to pay them for not working again unless they find a gov job.
That's the thing: they're not scared to be fired. Well, check that. They're scared of the process of being fired and having to face the fact that someone somewhere doesn't think they're the bee's knees and super valuable to humanity.
But they absolutely think they'll be able to waltz into another Big Tech job at another office somewhere. Or failing that, they can be a "project manager" at some well funded startup who might not have a fully automated wine machine or their own chef prepared brunch available for rooftop patio dining, but still will give them gold stars for making presentations that say "We need to engage our customers moar! YAY!"
The problem is they've never seen a recession before, and the one we're on the eve of is looking like it's going to grow into a depression. They don't realize that alphabet (Google) has just announced they plan to slow down hiring (which is a prelude to freezing it then doing mass layoffs), or that Meta (facebook) is about jettison a few thousand competitors into the workforce. They think the unemployment rate will stay at 3.5% while the demand for tech employees will continue to grow. They don't realize that as this SuckFest gets going the first thing that's getting cut is the advertising budget which is bad news if you're in an industry that depends on advertising dollars to fund it.
And those side hustles are about to dry up, too.
And inflation is about to wipe out whatever you've been saving up (assuming you've been saving up).
But I actually have faith in these kids (the Gen Z'ers, not so much the millenials). Even though they haven't really been challenged, I see some natural grit and the drive necessary to make it through this. I think when the game is on, they're going to roll up their sleeves and get to work rather than sitting around crying about they miss the meditation rooms and free doggy daycare at the office.
Then they're dumb because some.of them will be witnesses and others on trial. Another tech job may have to wait.
Pretty sure if you show up at my door with Twitter on your resume I'm not hiring you.
Good developers and computer scientists and architects sure. What we've been seeing for awhile is near zero interest rates allowing for unprecedented monetary expansion. It gets to a point where locking down all available talent is a good business decision so that you aren't left hurting for it when you need to go looking. But with monetary contraction + shareholder obligations, these companies are going to need to shed the less talented and more tangential talent.
I expect to see non-CS people shed. Probably the less apt coders that haven't gotten around to making each mistake twice.
The solid devs and CS/math/stats people will stay and will probably be compensated better. They can keep a company alive when it consolidates back to its mission. They can lead it out when the boom starts. And with some of the chaff gone, its easier for competitors to see and put offers on the prime talent. So there's that. These businesses know that good devs are like good artists and experienced good ones don't exist in anywhere near the numbers people outside the industry think.
Tech surged during COVID because of financial witchery. FAANG wasn't exactly moving mountains with new innovation and disruptors weren't exactly rising up. The cloud was just much better adopted and shareholders jumped on theme while the federal reserve vomited money into the floor of the markets via Blackrock and the Treasury. Bitter insiders were painting the top companies as being even more zombie than they were in 2019.
I would say that comparing this to covid is a mistake. The lockdowns drove more people online and ultimately drove more money into the tech sector. It looked like tech bucked the trend, but it was basically just benefiting from the downturn in other sectors of the economy.
In a recession, spending goes down across the board, and tech is on shakey ground as a lot of the products and services can be viewed as luxuries... or at least optional. When customers stop paying subscriptions, consuming content, or buying the current pretty device, the money flowing into the sector is going to drop. Companies are going to need to start managing costs, and the only way to do that is by managing payroll and product lines.
Bottom line is those hundreds of thousands of job openings are going to start getting yanked while the number of people who can do them is going to increase. Those who can't be reassigned or are redundant get pink slipped and re-enter the job market. Eventually some MBA will rediscover "outsourcing", and then someone else will come up with a new word for "topgrading" and write a book on it. More competition for less jobs available.
Meta has already started to turtle down, alphabet as well after a terribad quarterly report a few days ago. About to see it from Twitter big time.
It's not the end of the world. Tech workers are still going to have it easier than others in a lot of cases, but I'd expect the salaries to get a littler lower, the perks to dry up, and the process of finding a job to get harder. Will get worse longer the recession lasts.
And if someone's one of the people who's a "project manager" or "community moderator" that likes to say they are a tech worker... they should either be looking into developing high demand skills or thinking about a lateral career change right about now.
To be fair, a lot of tech employees are non-technical. The small group of talented more senior developers and computer scientists that can analyze and implement are few and far between.
It's more likely they start axing amenities staff. Then marketing and communications people. Then some of the non-computer-science non-math non-statistics doctorates. Also the less performant junior developers. And if they're at that point, hopefully they gut HR and burn policies like the one where white people need to get sign off from a PoC.
Yep, when I had a job interview with Microsoft at the Redmond campus, this is almost exactly what it looks like in that video -- cafes everywhere, foosball, ping pong tables and air hockey tables in every building across campus (at least the ones I visited, had them all) and many more.
I thought to myself, "Wow so that's why Windows is a shitty bloatware OS! Way too many people slacking off and not fixing shit!"
Suffice to say, I didn't get the job (wasn't even a job position that related to what I majored in college). Prior to visiting Microsoft, I thought it would be a dream job even though I didn't like Microsoft at all but after visiting the campus, I'm glad I didn't get the job. I felt way out of place at Microsoft so I didn't think I could stomach a day or two working there.
How do you get people to comply with your evil deeds? You pay them off, you install a plush daycare environment where they can drink and socialize and play games all day. It’s called being rewarded for complying.
Twitter runs itself, it's a fucking computer program! Employees are just for show.
This is a good observation.
I'm still trying to figure out what she actually does for a living... other than luxuriate for a paycheck, that is. I mean, I've worked in places like that, but the meetings are power meetings. You have to actually produce something of value to have anyone actually want you there. They give you a ton of free stuff but expect you take it back to your office and work.
So again, what does our affirmative action quota hire actually do for a living?
Nah, never mind. I don't need to know. I'd never sell my soul to get a job like that.
They don't. Notice how all of that stuff looks untouched. Videos like this are how they sucker people into thinking that this line of work is all sunshine and roses.
So these are the mfers running around screaming oppression? You've gotta be f%$king kidding me.. Let's show these people some oppression and make them actually have to work to pay their f#@king bills. SPOILED BRATS!
Even more tone-deaf than the LinkedIn adult day care girl.
Hmm.
Wondering who will buy Facebook and Instagram so they can be cleaned up also.
Why bother? Serious question.
If they die, they die,
I made the post because seems like the good guys are trying to make social media better. I’m still on Instagram, nothing like I was a year ago. I agree, it wouldn’t be a loss if they die. I see people all the time say, “I’m on Facebook to talk to friends and family” Didn’t they communicate before Facebook?!
We used MySpace.
We used telephones. No one uses phones to actually call people anymore.
Yes yes yes.
Took one meeting and had a spa day. Fuck these people
These are not employee's, they're corporate welfare recipients. Elon is going to burn this all down. I do love the list of DEMANDS these pussies sent to Elon! LOL!!! Demands..oh that's rich. None of these people will be able to survive in an actual corporate environment after they're fired.
All that’s missing is the kitten and puppy petting room
A bunch of pampered must hires who check the box on diversity, sitting around all day pretending they are adding value by censoring views they have been taught to hate. These people will never have it as easy again. In fact, I doubt they ever become productive citizens.
Ruined my feet doing years of construction and HVAC work. Never got paid what these tadpoles are probably getting paid to do nothing.
These people have a RUDE AWAKENING coming! None of them have ANY skills!
Are you even working??
I spent the day in a cold wet trench welding.
I had to go back to the work I h8(linux engineer) thanks to all the covid shit killing my fabrication business, but I still do fabrication when people call me, which oddly enough I am getting more and more calls/week lately. I prefer the coalescing of metal than banging on the damn keyboard.
Man, who doesn't? :)
please let it pay more than 20/hr
Dunno why someone down voted you on this.
Idk how much welders make in a cold trench I just hope he makes enough to make that type of work worthwhile. Side note I appreciate you as an anon..i see your comments often. I hope moass and the great awakening bring you and your family all the blessings to come.
Thank you very much, fren.
I can't believe everyone is bitching about what she is saying she does, all the while neglecting the fact that there is no one else around. They have meditation rooms and yoga and the rooftop... no one else. Are they working? Or do they not even exist? was this video a set up for some reason? Did she go in on a Sunday to get the video? Where are the people? If I could play outside on the rooftop at work, I'd be out there. With my glass of wine. Where are the people like me? The only people I saw were the three or four in the meeting.
Good points
Actually a very nice looking place there. Be a shame if someone were to... shake things up a bit...
