    I feel like the internet could use a good smacking. And the US.

    It’s rude to smack people without their consent.

    You should make sure they’re hydrated and communicate effectively so they know to come clearly inside you.

    Then you can smack them if they don’t comply.

    We had an old black and white set where the magnets of the CRT often went out of alignment. You had to slap it in very specific ways to get it to work again. We had that fucking thing until the mid eighties, when my parents finally bought a colour set.
