Of course the season is far from over, and I think they've chosen great situations for each of the characters to explore potential comedy, but it's not quite hitting it for me overall.
There have been some fantastic moments (Minna, Jonah's blind dates, the scary CBS morning show anchor), but some scenes haven't been as economical and efficient as they've proven they can make it - the episodes have been a little meandering. There also haven't been any of the finely crafted climaxes of past seasons.
I can see that they're building to something as everyone is gradually ending up in Selina's entourage again, so I'm hopeful the pay-off is going to be great.
I was able to pair the Tradfri Control Outlets to my conbee and expose them to Homekit via Homebridge but the Conbee paired them as lights and therefore show up as lights in Homekit as well. I can't seem to change them to outlets within the Home app. Is there anything I can do change their status from lights to outlets?
I'm sure everyone's heard of the famous "Spare the rod, spoil the child." But the concept of beating children to discipline them has never made sense to me, at all. Oh, it makes perfect sense through the lens of the church and its doctrine on punishment, especially divine.
Growing up, I'd always hear adults around me say "It's like when God needs to put us in our place. You just give so-and-so a good whipping and he'll/she'll know right then not to do it again."
I could go on about this asinine line of thinking all day. But to keep it short - no, it fucking doesn't. Punishment, as I've mentioned in another thread, is corrective. We do it as a society to teach someone/a group that what they've done is wrong and that actions have consequences. You teach someone why something is wrong, so that they'll be able to apply that knowledge for later and grow as a person.
Beating does nothing but traumatize poor children unfortunate enough to have that be used for punishment. It doesn't teach anything about why what they did is wrong. All it does is make them fearful of their parents' wrath and the thought that it could happen again over any small circumstance. They don't learn why something is wrong, they learn that pain and suffering is undesirable and avoid whatever they did in the future to avoid getting beaten again.
That's all there is to it. Beating is straight up lazy parenting. If you can't explain to your child why something is bad and furthermore need to liken it to how God behaves in the Bible - I really have no words. It's just unfathomable that people consider this a good thing.
Hell, I still hear mentions in my hometown (privately) that the reason school shootings happen is because "These kids don't get beaten in front of the class anymore." What does that tell you?
