I’m have three kids in scouting and I’m an ASM myself. I find it’s very dependant on the troop. I didn’t have a very good experience as a kid with mine, so I didn’t think I’d bring my kids into it. But when they were interested, we found a troop that turned out to be everything mine wasn’t as a kid. We accepted girls before it was officially allowed, and we’ve built a very strong, open and positive community. Enough that when they asked me to become an ASM, I happily accepted since my opinion of scouts had completely turned around.

There are still some pockets of the old guard that don’t like the direction of scouting these days. But with a good troop, it can be an amazing experience. My kids have grown and learned so much from their involvement. Me too.

It’s called propaganda, and those with money can afford it. There has always been forces that serve to launder money and power throughout history. It’s just gotten so much easier in the last couple decades…

Full on pro-rape party at this point.

So what he’s saying is that he will burn down the US if he loses…

Right, so instead of swinging wildly back and forth, hopping that one weird trick will eventually save us, a smart strategy would realize this and be strategic.

I’m not saying this to defend dems, they are a problem as well, just not as much of an existential one. They have shown that voter pressure still leads to change, maybe not always done right, but Biden bowed out eventually due to pressure, the other side NEVER will.

We have the power, the vote can still work, the powers that be know what our idiotic voting patterns are though and they use us. Time for us to use the fucking system against them.

They lose elections because people are too stupid to realize that change starts locally, starts with the primaries. It’s always taken attention and work, but most people just show up on Election Day and bitch about their choices.

What is the alternative during the actual election? You need to get the fucking party that still contains some sane people in it in power, then you work your ass off to get rid of the shitty corporate ones. A general election is not the place for activism, it’s where you do damage control.

I made sure I said some, as to not even Indict the majority.

But I do find the kind of person who would vote for paxton to be pretty vile…

And yet the race is still competitive. Texas has some truly vile people.

Goddamnit, enshittification comes for ALL paid services eventually. Looks like I have another service to start self hosting…

Dude has ties to Peter thiel, who fucking cares what an actor has to say about anything. Fuck this guy.

He’s such a narcissist that I causes him pain to see other people win awards. He truly belives he is deserving of ALL of them.

Why now? Because he enjoys inflicting pain, he gets off on killing people. It ain’t hard.

Who the fuck thinks it’s a good idea to give zuck access to their bank accounts. Mass delusion we live with… I’m just gobsmacked…

I agree, but I fucking hate that it’s AI that’s breaking the concept. First of all, it’s not like it’s a righteous fight, whoever wins, we all lose. Second, as much as I think copywrite is abused like hell, I still think the idea, one closer to the original, has merit and does provide crucial protections for individuals.

Sadly the fucking plagiarism machine and the anti-human dirtbags running it have found the absolute worst possible way to break the system. Ultimately resulting in nothing for us plebes that copywrite should protect and all the benefits that the shit copywrite coroporate power grab produced for them.

I quit drinking many years ago. I liked beer, but I would have said that it didn’t taste that great, even the best ones were at best…interesting . Once I quit though, I think it must be the alcohol flavor or something because I have found I really like stuff like hop water. Nice and fruity and bitter (in a good kind of way), it’s just lovely.

Oh man, I absolutely adore coffee, it’s one of my all time favorite things. It like happy in a glass. But I’m getting old, and I can’t deal with the caffeine like when I was a kid, and decaf is just ruined coffee (not sure if it’s the process or the missing caffeine flavor, but I’ve never tasted a decaf I like).

But the unaltered stuff, I even munch plain beans every now and again. Then again, I’ve never bought a can of coffee, my entire life I’ve only drank beans I ground myself, sometimes at the store, but it’s always started as a whole bean.

Not suggesting you try it, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Frankly I’m glad because it leaves more for me :)

Bingo. How I see it too, it’s why I became a a leader in my kids activities too. Figure I might as well do whatever I can to help build a better generation.

Thanks bud, I’m trying. Shit ass world to do it in, but them and a lot of their friends give me quite a bit of hope.
