    I know lemmy can lean weird left sometimes where it’s quite alright to kill someone but other physical violence, like beating somebody up, is taboo, but . . .

    My dad always told me that sometimes a man just needs a tune-up. Sometimes its you, sometimes its the other guy. Maybe its both of you. When I was younger I handed out a few and received one good one of my own. I think all were probably necessary and healthy, and I am a firm believer that sometimes someone is just in need of a good ass beating to help correct their perspective.

    Such a course correction, if applied earlier to this guy, might have saved his life.

      I’ve seen a good argument that personal violence between men may very well be mentally healthy outside of sports. Basically as you said sometimes you need your ass beat to put things into perspective, funny enough I stopped doing my twitch elbowing reaction in middle school because I did it to someone and he punched me in the face. Stopped the tic and fair is fair.

      I’m really starting to feel like my youngest kid is like this. But obviously I can’t tune him up myself, he’s only 6.

      Can I hire some other first-grader to beat him up?

      He’s a pretty solid kid…could I get a fourth-grader?

      I joke…I love him but man sometimes it feels like no punishment works with him. I know that it’s really just his ADHD and him being exactly like I was as a kid…except my hyperactivity was internalized while his is externalized. Adderall helps. Both of us. Maybe I gotta see about upping his dose.
