This is my worry as well. Limiting access to things that people want - see abortion, drugs, sex work, cosmetic procedures, alcohol - doesn’t make those things go away, it drives access underground into unregulated spaces. I haven’t read enough to know whether the Unilever and J+J products were safe. I am assuming they…

Exactly why doesn’t he deserve support? He’s arguably the second greatest quarterback of this generation, yet he’s had practically zero help from management and coaching to actually win games. I’d say because of that he has reason to be an asshole.

Best episode of the season, hands down. I can’t think of a single sketch tonight where I didn’t get at least one good laugh in. Hader sticking around after the cold open for arguably the funniest game show skit in ages was just the cherry on top.

What made it work for me was the pay was good and I got to shoot around all I wanted in between games. I got paid double if the other ref that was supposed to work the gym with me didn’t show.

Damn, from Super Bowl winning head coach to just another mom’s new boyfriend in like 4 months

When I was growing up, what the adults now call “political correctness” was once referred to as “good manners.”

It doesn’t have to be. Sports/team culture definitely can get toxic, but the good teams and the good coaches that I’ve been involved with haven’t functioned that way. Good leadership can curtail a lot of abusive team behaviors. 

Walgreens is convenient for a quick or cheap option, but their quality is all over the map and I would never rely on them for a print that is meant as a gift or a larger size that I intended to frame.

When they refer to plaids in medieval Scotland, I want to kill someone.

I thought I was the only one!

Ooooooorrrrrrr.... if you live somewhere that is not Flint, MI. Drink tap water. Stop buying bottled water.  

My brother is an Eagle scout and my family isn’t religious at all. I honestly don’t think my brother has ever been in a church unless it was for a wedding. He bullshitted something about spiritual connections with nature during the religious part of his eagle ceremony. It was not a thing.

I was just looking through the “Duty to God” style religious awards - awards that are technically given by a religious organization, but recognized by BSA. Amongst the couple dozen flavors of Christian organizations, there’s Sikhism, Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, and Judaism. But, there’s also Unitarian…

I agree with you, though it probably is no surprise given that I’m an Eagle Scout. While I love the GSA, especially their focus on empowering girls in broader society, the two programs are not really in any way equivalent. The BSA, for all its problems, can be an amazingly worthwhile program, especially with regards…

All it takes is one gung-ho husband who was all about scouting when he was a kid... and bam, you’re suddenly at one of the local schools one Wednesday night a month doing Cub Scout meetings.  

“Admittedly, the scouting experience varies immensely depending on your local troop leader; you might be stuck with a group that is all about sewing and cutthroat cookie sales, with a daughter who would rather die than knit and wants to go camping every weekend and build a fully electrified tiny house out of scavenged…

I’m an Eagle Scout. The organization has changed for the better in many ways, even if many of these changes are way overdue. But there’s still a long way to go, and I refuse to donate a dime to them until these sex abuse cases are resolved.

Every Little House fan should read Prairie Fires: The American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder by Caroline Fraser. It is great and gives so much information and context. Also, Rose Wilder is the worst.

That is all.

You guys should consider stepping out of your echo chamber a couple of times a decade to calibrate some of this stuff with, like, actual grown-up society. I’m a lefty/progressive/ally type dude but this IF YOU WEAR THIS POPULAR DRESS STYLE YOU LITERALLY COMMITTED THE MOUNTAIN MEADOWS MASSACRE is not grounded in reason…

My sister and wife were going to get prairie dresses, but they died of cholera.
