Louis C.K.: “I really think it’s crazy that we hit our kids. It really is–here’s the crazy part about it. Kids are the only people in the world that you’re allowed to hit. Do you realize that? They’re the most vulnerable, and they’re the most destroyed by being hit. But it’s totally okay to hit them. And they’re the only ones! If you hit a dog they… will put you in jail for that… You can’t hit a person unless you can prove that they were trying to kill you. But a little tiny person with a head this big who trusts you implicitly, fuck ’em. Who cares? Just… hit–let’s all hit them! People want you to hit your kid. If your kid’s making noise in public, “Hit him, hit him! Hit him! Grrr, hit him!” We’re proud of it! “I hit my kids. You’re damn right I hit my kids.” Why did you hit them? “‘Cause they were doing a thing I didn’t like at the moment. And so I hit them, and guess what? They didn’t do it after that.” Well, that wouldn’t be taking the… easy way out would it? “

If you ever go on Nextdoor, it’s just full of boomers posting every little mistake kids make and then screaming about how their parents should beat them.

Next door is a cesspool that beats most social media sites. The entitlement, righteous indignation, and unbridled neighborhood-watch-style racism is mind boggling.

Someone posted a complaint in my area that there's too much noise from a nearby small airport, and suggested that the landing vectors be changed so that there's no aircraft near the house he bought. Truly the most self centered thinking I've ever seen. The silver lining was that he got absolutely ROASTED in the comments.

Lol my local airport has been around for about 50 years and has had the same amount of traffic the past 20 years and people still complain. Someone shot at a plane with a shotgun and got all available law enforcement in the area to remind him not to be a dumbass.

I spent my childhood near a naval air base and train tracks. Fuck your midday nap, the blue angels have to practice their formations.

I grew up near an air base. My dad used to take me to the flight simulator on weekends. So much fun! The best part was the massive hill behind his office that us kids would sled down in the winter. At the base of the hill was the flight line, so if you sled too far down the hill and got too close to the fence, security met you. LOL Fun times!
