My girlfriend and I discipline our 2 year old daughter with spanking if needed.

Spanking a two year old? A child that small doesnt know anything and needs instruction and guidance, not corporal punishment.

A firm no and taking the time to demonstrate what behavior youd like to correct will go a lot further than bullying and intimidating a baby.

My parents spanked us at that age, but it was only for absolutely critical things, such as "Don't play in the road" or other things that could have us die from a moments distraction. Things where if they failed to keep us from doing it, there was no turning back and we could die. Their philosophy was that they'd rather have us afraid of getting spanked and stay safe than dead lying on the road because they were afraid of hurting our feelings. As we grew up and were capable of understanding, it lessened until it didn't happen again. Also, I've never met a child that will listen to just a firm no and instruction and guidance. They don't understand most of what you're talking about and will normally just follow their curiosity and try to satisfy it, but they will understand pain and understand that they don't want it.

I did it with 2 triangles. They move 4 feet away turn left then move 3 feet. 3^2+4^2=25, so the diagonal distance from the start point is 5 feet, since they moved in the same manner you double that and get 10 feet.

I hate essays, I had one semester where I had to write a 25 page essay for my final project, thank god I know how to fluff and format or there's no way I would have finished that on time.

I learned how to look up articles on the internet and just change the words rearrange where certain thoughts are within a paragraph etc. and fluff as you put it. I called it BSing

I just called it fluffing because I thought fluff and format sounded good, otherwise, you're right, it is BSing. Also, I tend to avoid using the rearrange thing since plagiarism programs are getting better and better, I would hate to get caught and lose my degree later on just because I tried to cheat early in school.

Pennywise is an inter dimensional being that, if it just uses it's deadlights, would literally fry the brains of Kefka (who I would place in second) and the Joker. Even disregarding skillfulness or anything like that, human brains are not capable of comprehending WHAT Pennywise's true form (the deadlights) actually are, and attempting to do so will literally destroy them. Other than that, unless they can target the Deadlights in the Macroverse, they can never truly defeat Pennywise, as they could defeat his manifestations, but he can just create another since his true form exists outside of space and time.

That's somewhat subjective. Situationally, each one can be worse in its own way and neither is conclusively worse, as in, there's no situation you can name where I can't think of something worse from the other, and I've experienced both growing up in school.
This is not something we should try to say one is worse than the other, they're both terrible and need to be stopped, but as responding will never be as fact as reacting it's better to teach people to defend themselves. Again, I'm not saying we shouldn't act, but the chances of people who can intervene being present when someone is being abused is slim to none, and even if they're called, they can never act as fast as the target of abuse. If we can teach them to defend themselves, at least enough to escape, and not punish them for doing so (as often happens in schools nowadays) it will work far better for the future.
