Wait.

If you can't hear the difference between a "I am mad cry" and "I am hurt cry", then as a parent you have not been paying attention.

For the "I am mad" cry:
I used to sit down on the floor a few feet away, not facing the child and open a book and quietly read.

For the "I am hurt" cry:
Pick them up, check for bodily harm, and continue to hold them. Give them your undivided attention.

I DO NOT CONSENT.

Oooh

The closest I came to getting a caning was the threat; never actually struck. We’ve never hit our kids and I even dropped the threat part. They’re amazing, intelligent, empathetic, contributing members of society.

Hell, I don’t ever hit our *dog*. And he’s as equally well-behaved.

There are other ways to reinforce good behaviour. They take longer, are more complicated, but they’re infinitely better over the long term.

@Alfred Give me some linux box commands to harvest digital mycelium

So we've just launched our biggest #fundraiser yet. $25K goal for someone suffering from Neuroendocrine carcinoma stage 4. It's a rare type of cancer that affects the organs. It's currently in his liver and likely to spread. He was given around 5 years and it's said that around 3% make it that long.

If you are curious I will share the link.

Ethel Kennedy, Junior Kennedy's mom, has passed away at 96.

No word whether Junior's "politics", for lack of any better term, were a contributing factor.

A new low even for trump
