    I think the real lesson to take from this is stop getting in the last word and then asking people to drop it.

    If you actually want to drop a subject, stop talking about it. Making a point and then saying "but lets drop it" is bullshit.

    Yeah, as a child, ear infections are completely fucking awful. I used to get them so bad I had to get tubes in my ears.

    There's nothing to do about it either. Just sit there and be in intense pain all day.

    Nowadays they have drops that will kill the pain.

    I don't know why you'd risk child abuse charges by striking your children when electrified nipple clamps don't leave marks.

    I played RDR in the same room as a friend so we could talk without bothering to mute everyone.

    You could replicate that fairly easily (can't believe I forgot about scallions, old people obsession number 1)

    bread pork cutlets as usual, slice them into thin strips after cooking
    slice shrooms up as desired
    marinate eggs in whatever soy-based sauce you desire
    dice scallions

    throw all that into a stone bowl with a good instant ramen (good = literally nothing on the label is in english)

    Hitting a child doesn't make them learn the lesson you are trying to teach them. It just teaches them to fear and resent you. among other things.

    This is too simplistic a statement to be useful except to people who don't have any concept of the difference between a swat on the butt and a punch in the face.

    Also it presupposes that children altering bad behavior because they fear punishment is always undesirable, and I don't believe that is the case.

    he gets it from me, I'm sure

    I had to have tubes in my ears (3 sets through childhood), then had tonsils and adnoids removed

    I can clearly remember times when the pain was so bad and insistant I would be banging my head against the wall

    I am still not sure if I've suffered anything more unpleasant than ear infections, which I got a lot as a kid.

    WAIT NO I did have a couple of migraines that were worse. But I wanted to die for both of those experiences.

    Ear infections are pretty bad but I think the worst I've dealt with was bronchitis. I felt like somebody had stuffed tiny knives and saran wrap down my lungs, and then beat on my shoulders with a hammer.

    Edit: Oh wait, no! I remember now, the worst is when I had impacted ear wax removed with a hook. Felt like my ear drum was being ripped out.

    I haven't played a public multiplayer game in forever. The closest I come is team ranked starcraft, where the fun comes from using really frustrating play styles that turn the members of the opposing team against each other. I don't consider a win a win unless a member of the opposing team first enters the global chat and writes a childish tirade about how shitty his team is before dropping out. Bonus points if the opposing team throws a tantrum, like pausing and unpausing the game or alt-tabbing to cause it to lag.

    Appreciating the fact that Henroid's rallying appeal to end bigotry in gaming is "hit more children." 8->

    I'm able to mentally distinguish the difference between a swat on the butt / smack in the mouth vs. full on punches and kicks. If people want to disagree with disciplinary actions, that's fine, but don't turn my take (which is very specific and narrow) into "you child abuser." That's a real low bar to set and a real extreme reaction, akin to idiots who say "marijuana is a gateway drug!" Or maybe things do stop right then and there and don't go further.

    ENT-related conditions are far and away the worst thing as a child. Exterior injuries are at least understandable to some degree for the toddler mind, but like, sinus infections are inexplicable and awful

    Making the argument that authorial intent is not sovereign is a lot weaker when you're talking about literal narrative events rather than thematic implications

    Perhaps, but some narratives are garbled, ambiguous, or deceptive.

    In the specific jokey post that lead to this conversation (Ned Stark and Syrio Forel), the narrative could not have been more clear and to interpret those events differently is to stop reading the book as written. Think of it like... uh, people still being on team Jacob after Edward and Bella's wedding or deciding that Bruce Willis was really alive the whole time in the sixth sense and the movie's events were actually an illuminati plot to drive him insane.

    Oh wow.

    No no, the indoctrination interpretation of the ME3 ending is nothing that ridiculous. It is certainly supported by numerous observations, and actually fits better with the rest of the story leading up to it than canon interpretations.

    As I said, it is a player interpretation. No one is claiming it was the writers intent. BW made it clear that it wasn't. But that in and of itself does not render the interpretation "wrong" merely non-canonical.

    not that spoilery, but just to be safe
    My first playthrough of ME3 I totally assumed that was what happened. Shepard was being indoctrinated, the Reapers were playing with his head in one last ditch effort to stop him, etc. So I took the only ending that made sense under that assumption and was reasonably satisfied with the results. It wasn't until my insanity playthrough that I tried another ending just to see. Unfortunately, I didn't get either a game over screen or a "lol Reapers tricked you" ending cinematic and I was disappointed.

    Apparantly Bioware has also come out and said the indoctrination theory is wrong, which is a real dick move IMO.

    Please consider the environment before printing this post.

    Well marijuana is a gateway drug from a purely statistical standpoint, ignoring the correlation/causation issue.

    But in many locales, hitting a child in the face is considered abuse.

    I mean....dude....you've made two posts on this subject since you said you were going to drop it.

    I guarantee that if you had rolled your eyes at the initial wave of posts and called them idiots under your breath instead of making a point and claiming you were going to drop it, we'd be talking about what you actually want to talk about, which is sexism in gaming rather than child discipline.
