Second degree‽

Those are rookie numbers. You gotta bump that up to third at least.

Have you tried taking a walk outside in the sun while eating better and getting more sleep?

And to think it all started with 30-50 feral hogs.

Might have to break out my Newton as a precautionary measure.

Sure, but Who Wants to Live Forever? There’s no chance for us, it’s all decided for us. This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Ugh, and during the start of Pride month too…. Why can’t people just leave these women and their sheep alone.

Without thinking about the validity of the ICCs argument for it, I wonder if part of their concern is whether or not having an antagonist like the ICC doesn’t shore up potentially eroding domestic support from Gantz and his allies.

I wonder how hard it will be to make this all… DISAPPEAR…

I know. It just seemed to me that their influence began to ramp up even more (perhaps that was just my local troop though) when the LDS Church started paying registrations and activities fees in the early 90s but it truthfully happened slowly like boiling a frog over a long time.

In the US they never dropped the mandatory overtures to religiosity. In fact, there was a period in the 90s-early 2000s where one sizable religious group who had replaced their prior youth organization with the BSA got pretty involved at the national level to the detriment of the program as a whole. While it’s not really required in any real sense at the troop level, you do have to affirm a belief in some “higher power” as an adult volunteer. (I’m an Eagle Scout and now atheist)

In Sweden, the Svenska Scoutförbundet was an outgrowth from the original UK scouting movement, but I don’t know how big it was/is.

Less risk of computer viruses, higher risk of bird flu though.

I suspect the “source” they are referring to is Bari Weiss’s “The Free Press” with is all in on “anti-woke” as an agenda, and those that use that derogatorily are pretty much all right-wing sites for pushing an agenda.

And yep, if you read his arguments, they are all basically rehashed right-wing complaints. He misquotes the Muller report for Bill Bar’s misleading summary, overstates the reliability of the Laptop, and gets bogged down in the lab leak theory without doing the sort of authentication that one would expect from someone in the media trying to show how unbiased they are vs everyone else. It’s all right wing pushed talking points.

I really liked Dan Kelly’s response, it bares the partisan bent of the claims and failure of Berliner to put authenticity of claims before partisanship.

This one retreads a lot of the same water but has enough other stuff to justify reading it too: https://carriekaufman.substack.com/p/nprs-uri-berliner-exposes-how-liberal?triedRedirect=true

Look behind you, a Three-Headed Monkey!

Is this because Ukraine forgot to say “no taksie backsies” when this was originally passed?

Oh yeah‽ Well, I’m considering building a fusion reactor around the sun.

No one near me sells oofos, I can go to 3 stores nearby and buy a pair of Hokas that I can also wear at the Gym instead of needing a separate pair of Gym shoes.

If you have plantar fasciitis, it can really help with the added support.

My guess is that it didn’t have to be soup. It could’ve been any other food item but that specifically soups you don’t normally get a dinner roll with it so the inclusion of the dinner roll would’ve been notable.
