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.

Thank god they are so delicious and useful that they are used quickly. It’s amazing how something so wonderful can become a Lovecraftian horrror when forgotten.

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..

D’oh, definitely missed on those..

Where’s Homer disappearing into the bushes, seems like a no brainer companion.

Right, this is what drives me up a fucking wall about the horseshoe types. I hear people talking about how I should think it’s a good thing that turnip opened up nuclear energy again. But his incompetence and grift will ensure it lives up to all the worst public fears about it. It’s going to set back nuclear progress immeasurably.

Probably the point of this kakistoctacy though, keep the oil prices up…

Full on pro-rape party at this point.

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

The stock market does not demand any business case, vibes are all they need.

The only real use case is juicing the stock price.

My high school son dresses pretty much exactly like I did at his age. The other day it was 90’s themed day at school and he was stopped in the hall to take pictures becuase his outfit was so spot on. He had completely forgotten it was 90’s day and just wore his usual attire — a nirvana t-shirt over a thermal long sleeve and a pair of jnco jeans. Kid shops for himself (summer job $$) and I crack a smile every time I see him come home with another thing that could have come from my 90’s wardrobe (except I never could afford name brands).
