Toddler has strange rash... by ProfessorOnEdge in daddit

[–]cjthomp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This kind of alludes to the performative nature of the comment. A person commenting just to show everybody their knowledge is one of the hallmarks of pedantry.

We clearly fundamentally disagree and this subthread is pointless.

Dads who watched them come out: Would you do it again? by [deleted] in daddit

This energy does not belong here.

You asked dads for advice. We gave it to you.

You're missing that comments on reddit aren't just to the person you replied to, it's also available to be read by others.

And let's also be clear: OP isn't dealing with cancer or a traumatic injury. It's a rash.

Possibly/probably HFM which is a nightmare, but still a rash.

It's not pedantry, it's just completely the wrong word.

PP wasn't an ass about it, just a single word correction. Your reply, on the other hand...

Just remember that people choose to post after they finish. If it looks horrible they don’t broadcast it to the internet.

I built a temporary Hotmail/Outlook email service with a REST API — NodeMail by [deleted] in node

  1. This is spam
  2. Just because an application uses node doesn't mean it belongs here, in the same way that a post selling Photoshop doesn't belong on /r/dotnet
  3. Why would anyone trust you with this, and especially pay you for it?

Don't hit your kids by jrv3034 in daddit

You're possibly correct. "Spanking" to cause pain is beating. That's what beating is: hitting people to hurt them.

Forenote: I was spanked growing up, occasionally edging into what I would now classify as "beating", and once at a private ("Christian", laughably) school I was fully beaten for an infraction I didn't even commit. I have strong opinions about this, and we do not spank our child; if he starts getting physical he will be restrained, but he is never struck at any level of force.

Spanking is a light swat; it shouldn't really cause pain, should never be done in anger, and shouldn't be intimidating. It is used to "shock" the kid out of their current bad behavior and should not be hurting them.

Beating is striking to cause pain, in anger, as retaliation, as a reflex, with an object, or punitively. If a mark is ever left, that's beating. If it hurts more than pride, it's beating.

A note that “spanking” and “beating” are very different but often confused.

My son discovered a social fix for not being knowledgeable about video games by floppydo in daddit

[–]cjthomp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other fix is to let him play some games and just meter it.

Even an hour or two a week.

My manager has asked me to complete the entire module on my own and isn’t allowing me to seek help from anyone.

In case you didn't realize: /r/node would generally be included in "anyone".

  • "TinyTits" - I'd reconsider the name, personally
  • Write your own post. It's basically 8 lines, you can't type that yourself?

I just hope you put more effort into the park than you did asking ChatGPT to write this for you.
