I’ve matched my son’s outfit since he was 2 …this is unfortunately where we’ve arrived.

Regardless, the archive pics from innocent costumes to totally offensive will be epic.

The real irony is that KO is probably more harmful than smoking. …I know I’ve never used tobacco to clear a drain.

I don’t think anyone argues they got a lot of it right. But, they certainly avoided the impact all of the additional water and fuel tanks they stacked on deck for that particular trip.

Best STOCK ever.

It’s not even hyperbole. It’s the best performing stock over the past 150 years.

The only reason it hasn’t performed better is because of the likes of Cramer denouncing addiction/vice stocks. …but that entire landscape changes now that kalshi and draft kings have bought their way into the mainstream.

I watched it recently. It's not very good, despite having a great cast.

The color and saturation of the scene where they hit the motherload just before the storm perfectly captured the mood before the storm.

Again. There are zero co-ed boy scout troops. A stand-alone all girl troop in boy scouts has no impact on the stand-alone all boy troops in boy scouts.

Maybe I don’t understand…Peak lunacy is a stand alone group of girls that are Boy Scouts.

These are families of male cub and boy scouts who saw what kind of crap that girl scouts was and liked what the boys were doing. These families' daughters can now run through the same program with all girl dens and troops. Given the choice of girl scouts and boy scouts, they choose the better program.

This thread basically sums up society in 2026.

If the Girl Scouts are poorly run, you should be entitled to join the Boy Scouts. If your school is poorly run, you should be able to enroll in someone else’s.

But, my favorite response in this thread was the poster who was a single dad and wouldn’t have had the time for his daughter if she couldn’t be a Boy Scout with her brother.

If this is true, it would be the easiest way to put it to bed and reinforce the controversy is a stupid hill to die on.

Instead, the only news has been the Dem candidate said she didn’t know about it so we won’t speculate about hypotheticals…but will gladly share our thoughts about why the republican hypothetical is so hypocritical.

None of them are even considering the most obvious potential abuse.

How many towns has Daniel Sullivan campaigned and said something ridiculous he knows will offend voters and connect the opinion with Dan Sullivan?

I’ve noticed there’s lip sync issues too. Thought it was something between the cable box and my Sonos, but it caught my attention today while watching tv on the ipad contour app.

We talking about fast passes here?

Think the fast passes allow one skip per hour, and lightning lanes let you pay a fee for each additional skip.

You can also buy the concierge service where an employee personally escorts you throughout the park.
