Not directed at OP:
In evangelical Christianity the roster of Heaven doesn’t come from the leaderboard of goodness. It’s given mercifully to those to accept the love of Christ. Goodness is an outgrowth of faith. Not the other way around.

Stop with the good=heaven shit

I’ve always tried to avoid this descriptor for groups. I appreciate the importance of avoiding this for trans women. Extra vigilance is easy enough. Many ways to describe a group beyond “you guys”.

Final marching band competition this weekend. It’s in the Vikings stadium which is really cool. It’s been a successful season and the students have been great. I AM ready to have my Saturdays back though.

When your whole thing is bragging, boasting, and overhyping everything you do it’s not surprising his addled brain would do that with impossible numbers too. Or that’s at least how I wrap my head around it.

Totally fair, I’m sure the bubble touring players would be pissed. I’d rather see them out there too.

They explain it away for USDGC and Worlds as a cost coming from the organizers of the event, but you can cook costs like that into your overall formula. Biggest events of the year and the smallest live viewing audiences.

You get invites based on particular wins many of which are not on the tour. You also get invites for past winners. Perhaps some are also from the Monday qualifiers. Other that those reasons, IDK.

I like this plan minus one thing. Keep that asshole far away from my beloved state.

I played a bit of a prank on all my classes today, and you should join them! I caught a fairly big mistake many of them made and said...

"You should look yourself in the mirror and say: I am deserving respect and love"

Mistakes are made, you are a person of value. don't get confused 🙂

I think the answers to this in Minnesota are Scandinavian or Native American and then who is the tourist exactly?

Yeah, that was underwhelming. Generally, FPO has been very compelling this year. Much more so than MPO. Snooze fest with the men most weeks.

The facts are always inconvenient to voucher proponents, so school vouchers can't be marketed honestly.

They never were and aren't meant to "rescue" low-income students from bad schools or give parents more "choices" or lead to improvement in the public schools through competition.

A lot of stuff sucks, and this place carries constant reminders of that fact. But a lot of good disc golf people are on here too. Better than some of the alternatives at least!

The beauty of that battle was that, either way, the win would be historic.
