Has Moop been on strike lately?

It’s a sound effect generator. It only has a few different varieties of SCREEEEREEEECH and some weird telephone tones, though.

Inquiring minds want to know!

Read it, you can read it, you can read it, you can read it…

Metric. I’ve had my phone set up to display the temperature in Celsius for the last ~8 years so that I can get a sense of it without doing math all the time.

I mean…

Corporal Punishment Sucks.

Definitely. It’s why I only milk bulls.

My head hurts.

If there’s a legitimate health and safety concern, I’m not saying a parent can’t say no, but a parent telling a kid their expression has to be limited by their parents’ own biases is too far. So… no playing tag on the freeway, but a parent shouldn’t be able to tell a kid to expeess themselves in ways they don’t want to or follow a religion they don’t want to follow.

In the US when I was growing up, some kids got kicked out of their homes for being queer or for not being “Christian” enough. This is what comes to mind.

Agreed.

Everyone (including kids and teens) should have full bodily autonomy. This includes how they express gender. Parents should not be allowed to circumcise/mutilate their kids’ genitals for reasons that aren’t medically necessary, nor should they be allowed to lay their hands on their kids in a violent way (and yes, that includes “only” spanking). Parents who hit/spank their kids should be charged with assault and child abuse.

Kids and teens having basic rights might not be controversial here, but in the rural area that I’m from, it certainly is.
