  1. I got my Eagle as a freshman in high school. My parents didn't usually have to issue ultimatums/ae, but it was pretty clear to me that my only way out of Scouts was to get my Eagle. I didn't hate it, but felt dorky about it and it did absorb some time that I wanted more to myself. Also, part of advancement in my troop was acting as an assistant patrol leader and patrol leader, which was considerable work and responsibility. Even so, I stuck around for a year after getting my eagle on "staff," which meant general supervision of patrols, patrol leaders, etc. and was more fun, because you basically just had to handle your own shit and not anyone elses. I also did the national Jamboree, which took place after my year as patrol leader and earning eagle. I thought I'd be on staff there, too, making it more fun. Instead, I miscalculated and they wanted experienced patrol leaders, so I had to fucking revert. In the BSA footage from the 1983 National Jamboree, I can be seen slugging one of my more annoying patrol members in the stomach as we "marched" to some assembly. Not real proud of that, but everyone, including the victim agreed he deserved it for being a pain in the ass.
  2. They're all just convinced that they "did it the right way" and are therefore untouchable. They don't understand that "the right way" is a complete copout by white supremists/bigsby and it's all about being brown and different. And it's not just "model minorities," either. See, e.g., an alarming proportion of Latin americans.
  3. Dallas' logo is old as shit, like 30-40-50 years. Funny thing, they didn't register a trademark and some rapper type has been using the logo for a good long time in connection with apparel and got a registration. The City Attorney's office has failed in its efforts thus far to cancel the rapper's registration, despite long predating the use.
  4. That's not really an elected-DA problem, although the buck stops with Garza. That's a dumbass or unethical line prosecutor problem. Line prosecutors, outside the Trump administration, don't change with the head of the office.
  5. Inhaling anything other than air, or other breathable gases I'm sure is sub-optimal. But vape liquids mostly produce water vapor, with nicotine or THC and flavoring. There are a lot of unknowns, yes, but compared to inhaling combustion products, it's got to be a harm-reduction strategy. So concluded the CDC's former head of the anti-smoking program.
  6. Yeah "we" do. A lot of people obviously don't.
  7. Also, someone needs to ask, "Who's we in this scenario? Do you mean the JP Morgans, the Cornelius Vanderbilts, the JD Rockefellers? How did the working man, woman and child fit into this? Are you trying to sell us some more trickle down'? Also probably worth pointing out that the Fed was created at least partially in response to the machinations of JP Morgan. By most accounts, I think he did right by the country, while self-enriching, but no single private person should wield that control over our economy.
  8. In case anyone forgot history and for a vivid reminder. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/gilded-age/
  9. Surly threadjack (patent applied for) time. I had an 8th grade algebra teacher named, no joke, Wanda Spoonmore. She was a great teacher, but fat and waddling and probably had acid reflux. So she burped into her hand quite a lot and kept a bigass bottle of Rolaids on her desk. She was formidable and it was a pre-AP class, so no one really joked about her. One day, she picked up the Rolaids bottle, rattled out the last tablet, and declared "It's gonna be a long day."
  10. Ur a librul commie faget because you let the gubmint tell you to wear a face diaper. And they weren't even sure they worked. That's real fashism. Not like anything Lord God king bufu orange shitfunnel's doing.
  11. Bloody flux, imo.
  12. Y'know, all this was foreshadowed when the future tech plutocrats thought they didn't need patents, or to avoid infringing patents, or do anything any of the other bricks and mortar businesses did because "disruption." These fuckers are the embodiment of stupid libertarians and laws for thee but not for me.
  13. Seems you do know something about it, then. What about the other 14 accusers?
  14. How do we know it was completely made up? Who's to say she wasn't paid off or threatened to remain silent?
  15. Let's just say there's a shit ton of smoke around Trump porking the younguns. Smoke doesn't always mean fire, but in Trump's case, it usually does.
  16. That's what he said about E Jean Carroll, too. Do you not, Hitch, find it interesting that the Trump administration is now resisting releasing the Epstein files after making such a big deal of it during his campaign? And also giving convicted hands-on sex offenders like Ghislaine Maxwell treatment (incarceration in a camp) that no other sex offender has ever received, but only after being interviewed by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and giving the right answers? And posting the transcript online? I don't recall the Biden crime family going to any such lengths to avoid Hunter's laptop.
  17. So I just heard on NPR that Trump is now saying NO instead of Chicago and citing consent of governor/local officials. Seems their appetite for defying court orders is waning. Even radical left courts.
  18. And there's this: He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance. In the near-immortal words of PJ O'Rourke, Triple George was a piker compared to Trump. I have a feeling PJ would have been having a field day with Trump.
  19. A high-rise apartment developer's world. I'm a bit surprised he even knows that mundane detail about his properties, but that is almost assuredly where that nugget of word salad came from.
  20. JAG lawyers are not going to be much different from any other lawyers, so that aspect doesn't bother me much. The complete lack of experience in immigration law is problematic, as is the fact that they're taking JAG lawyers away from their duty. And, of course, it was stupid and political, DOGE like, to shitcan a bunch of immigration judges right when they're trying to do this.
  21. That's really it. There's a tiny nugget of truth in just about everything MAGA fucks up. It's always the wrong answer to the right question.
  22. But Fauci should be in JAIL!
  23. And, we have the sunk cost of the military but for Trump's political capital, we're gonna dump a couple billiion into mercs.
  24. Wait, about the only Indian I see doing that is . . . Vivek Ramasthwamy.
