(I actually have no idea if he was ever a scout or what rank he may have attained, but if it was Eagle he'd never shut up about it, so I have to assume he wasn't.)

Modern scouts are so much boy friendlier than the scouts I was in. And my scouting experience was largely positive, even.

But I remember the bad shit and it is so enraging these assholes are nostalgic *only* for the worst parts of scouting history.

The judge here is fucking awful, too. "I dunno kiddo, you don't *sound* like a victim of harassment..."

What is maybe most sad is that Google at its nadir is still one of the best information retrieval systems available to people, because instead of taking the opportunity to kick 'em when they were down, every nominal competitor jumped in the hole with them.

Could we get even *one* "free speech" advocacy group that isn't like this?

GL. Can't even get people to stop being misogynistic at MTG.

Put them out for the junk man.

Screens, cases, boards, too complex/laborious usually. But they'll snap up cords/cables and save you a trip.

I was... unaware that people didn't generally think chan/etc sites should be wiped out.

Caveat - nature and science programming. We had the Tuttleman (big ol' IMAX dome) at Franklin and experiencing flight like a bird, seeing the deep sea like you are in a diving bell... was transformative as a kid and still awe-inspiring as an adult.

But for regular films, it's a minor novelty.

The singular thing that makes any of these people… unique viable and in a sick and deranged way “useful”

Is their willingness to do great harm to themselves and one another for attention

Y’all Tom and Daisy.

Or if the reason it's "okay" is because it's actually Nuzzi's sex life we are laughing about?

Like how the whole bubba trump shrimp co thing brought out hastily dusted off Lewinsky memes?

Examining stuff sucks sometimes.

Alas, anorexia, as in "pro ana."

🤣🤣 After a few decades so are mine, but momma didn't raise a quitter.

Gotta get on the "so dysregulated that breakfast is coffee and cigarettes" train. A little more expensive but it can take your misery to the next level.

Yeah, but that might provide someone, somewhere with joy or human connection. Even worse than paying someone a wage!

You'd think being a Van Drew staffer would be enough, tho!

Less expect and more "this is the lie we went with when we missed Q1 and Q2 numbers"
