Who considers vandalism and defacement a "time-honored" part of the human experience?

Definitely a part, but time-honored???

Schway!

We call that “productive procrastination.” But I like how you call it weaponized.

Why Asheville? It’s a pretty heavily Democrat area of NC. Seems like an odd choice for a Trump rally.

I feel personally attacked

Some know, but it’s very hard to see how to have a positive impact. I don’t have millions of dollars, and getting into politics is daunting (also, no money).

I’ve seen some say that the best thing is to make sure you have strong local communities and that at least I can try to work on. It doesn’t have huge visibility but knowing there is a network of people to count on when everything gets worse is a good thing.

Right?? I can’t believe anyone is “on the fence” at this point.

I just waxed the chain on my gravel bike and it’s going great so far. Maybe time to consider the mountain bikes. I do spend a lot of time lubing chains.

Scout Troops can be very different and it all really depends on the people and the community.

My experiences haven’t been overly military, though some scouts from the troop have gone on to join the military. Likewise, we don’t push religion hard, but some of our scouts are deeply religious and others are not.

What I see is a program that at its heart is trying to teach youth about being responsible for themselves, being a good citizen, giving back to the community and country through charitable service, and learning some basic principles of leadership. Where else do youth get those experiences?

I have been pleasantly surprised by The Acolyte so far. I’ve seen lots of internet hate, but I can’t really see what they are complaining about.

It’s doing a nice job expanding on the lore and while there are certainly some tropes involved, the writing hasn’t been bad.

It’s rough, it’s course. It gets everywhere…
