Come on! You don't expect convicted criminals would break the rules, do you? Why would anyone make such a baseless assumption?

A man's purpose is to risk his life to protect and provide for his family. If one 24 hour shift can do that, there's a lot of men who would be ready willing and able to take that risk. It sounds a lot more pleasant than oil rigs in winter, and those'll kill you dead just as fast.
I think we should nuke China for being the cause of auto repeat on shorts everywhere. Annoying and useless.
In a past life I downloaded a lot of abandonware because I had no money but wanted to play video games. When sites like GOG came around after I had a job I bought the games to balance the scales.
All things considered, you own a pirated copy of a thing more than the legit copy with DRM more. The copy you stole you can keep and use as you like, the DRM copy you paid for they can take away at any moment.

I'd do it, but we better do this fast because a million bucks ain't what it used to be!
A great way to protect against misinformation can be to not censor it at all.
Dribs and drabs of the most reasonable and likely to be accurate misinformation barely leaking past censorship can make it look like the censorship is stopping a bunch of good data. Once you open the floodgates it quickly becomes a lot clearer "oooooh, most of this is crazy!"

Reading Twain talking about boys ejaculating and it's like "oh wow that means something really different today"
At any rate, I think three men having discussions about positive parenting strategies is a good indication that we all would, will, or are engaging in careful and thoughtful masculine parenting of our children which all the literature shows is overwhelmingly important to outcomes. The likelihood that you end up with some hypothetical nightmare menace of a child who only understands a strap is really negligible, but the likelihood that playing a positive and active role in your child's life will have extraordinary positive impacts on their lives is near 100%, and the statistics don't lie, being that kind of father will prevent your kids from getting a bad end more than almost anything else you can do.
Definitely the dangerous thing about that. Using "discipline" as an excuse for their own lack of discipline.
Not a lot of people implementing consistent rules and routines with positive feedback for success out of frustration.
"Listen here boy! I'm gonna come back there and give you the same fair and reasonable bedtime every night with a standard bedtime routine you come to recognise and follow. That'll learn you, you little bastard!"

Thankfully, the superposition collapsed for me with a son who responds to positive and negative reinforcement that doesn't require anything physical.
I think if I ended up in that hypothetical scenario where he did need that.... I dunno, might just let the little guy grow up to be a serial killer and just act dumb...

One thing many people say to me is that all kids are different, and as one of 6 kids I tend to agree. It's amazing how different the outcomes can be from very similar beginnings.
There might be alternatives to spanking, and they might work really well for some kids. But there might be kids who need some physical reinforcement. Until the vague concept of "a child" with all its superpositions of what a child could be collapses into "the child in front of you right now" you can't know exactly what will or won't work.
That said, it's something you have to be careful of because the purpose of any discipline is not to make the parent feel better, but to try to help the child in the long run. One of the dangers of using pain as a disciplinary tool is there's always a risk of misusing it or using it instead of better tools for the job because it feel better in a moment of negative emotion from the parent.

Maybe the scarier idea is that there just isn't as much gas in the atmosphere as there has been in the past in general. Most people don't know this, but during the hadean period there were 22 atmospheres of CO2 in the early atmosphere by pressure. A good chunk of that ended up getting locked up in rocks. A lot of the sedimentary rock that we see is carbonates, which came about from life-forming shells out of the CO2 and calcium in the water.
It's crazy to think that there's entire mountains of the stuff now, and those processes do continue today, but on the other hand look at Mars. Now a lot more of its atmosphere went away due to lack of a magnetic field, but the future of Earth could look a lot like the present of Mars.
