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…

This is the way. Sometime I even file down the spring/contacts with a nail file to expose fresh metal rather than corrosion. Just a few light scratches helps greatly.

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.

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.

This is turning into some hunger games shit. They have to know how terrible and inhuman they look. But they keep doing it, keep spending the money to fit into this frightening aesrthetic. It’s all virtue signaling to them, they make themselves look like freaks to signal to the other freaks that they can afford to look like this on purpose, and are also rich enough not to care.

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.
