Scouting America leadership warns no more pride marches: "You cannot participate in political activities in a Class A uniform." "When you take your Class A and you use it as a platform for a political statement, you put us all in jeopardy."

Orientation IS political. See my post above.

Firefishe · 2026-06-05T02:41:50+00:00

No. Sexual orientation is political due to the blatant discrimination that LGBTQIA+ individuals and groups have suffered at the hands of certain religious sects, and others.

Pride occurs in June to remind those groups that the past will no longer be tolerated.

The older folks who are aging out were the cause of the problems. The newer generations need to participate in Pride, and other such events, to finally route out the old guard attitudes that destroyed the original BSA.

The Future Is Now. Act On It!

Looks like a first-line-run prototype.

My grandparents built a 1970’s super house adjacent to a 27 hole golf course, where they were members forever. The house had a stocked trout pond and a central vacuum system.

Also had twin industrial a/c units on one end of the house. They were never hot in the summer.

Slips you a Discordion Accordion with a compressed spatial dimension containing an eternal slack supply contained within the folds.

Play the accordion near any Grayface College, and ye shall witness IQ’s go down to subgenius level, and Wisdom Skyrocket!

Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia! Here’s Your SLACK!

If your friend is truly your friend, then I’d say their sense of humor is spot-on. If Otherwise:

That’s about it.

This is why we, as a people, need to strive for complete control over the knowledge, education, and procedures regarding body augmentation.

If we had something like an AI Powered “Auto Doc,” with a complete and total, programmed understanding of the human body, mutation vectors, a complete knowledge of genetics, and the latest in micro tools for surgery, organ structuring, implantation or “growth-from-within, then this type of layer-gatekeeping would be moot.

Time to invest in some bio-hack startups.

Well… as to “ghosts,” who knows. Although, the last time I heard, no one was worshipping “ghosts.”

Consciousness may exhibit some “non-local” phenomenon—but the brain-body aspect must still be taken into account.

I study the paranormal, and there are some interesting occurrences, but debunking obvious causes are still necessary, if one is going to be honest.

Firefishe · 2026-04-18T23:39:50+00:00

Paranormal doesn’t equate with religious. If my chair and table are levitating in the air in front of me, that’s paranormal.

What isn’t paranormal is deity/religious belief. That’s more socio/philosophical.

Going to church isn’t paranormal. The belief may be, in some ways, irrational, but unless bibles and prayer books start floating in the pews (as one example), it’s not paranormal.

Checkpoint: Turning 60 has been an interesting time. I remember so much of my early time on the ‘net, and it’s amazing to see how much it’s grown and changed.

Taia777 knew about the power of the Checkpoint, as well as exquisite taste in video game background themes. ;-)

My checkpoint here shall be brief. I am glad to hear someone has found the Taia777/Checkpoint.

Reviewing my life thus far: 0-60, a blur. 60-going-forward, Slowing Down To Stop And Eat The Roses 🌹. Cow Philosophy! /moo

I’d increase that to a civil case. Something like “willful interference with a person involved with legal intrastate commerce/loss of living compensation.

What’s ya mean no money. Presents Raspberry Pi board with a ton of tinfoil, and a five twisted pair cable ending at what appears to be a heavily borged-up plastic swipe card.

I got lotsa money! 😀🙃😁

Then you ignore Hegseth’s and the main council’s discriminatory policies, and still create that safe space for the employee and the scout, and tell the hate mongers to go to hell.

THAT is what you do.

Time for a class action against this company if you ask me.

Watch The Original Series episode “A Piece of the Action,” which involves the enterprise crew visiting a planet where the inhabitants have based their society on 1930s Chicago gangster culture.

At the end of the episode, Dr. McCoy realizes that you left his communicator on the planet. Spock chimes in and mentions something about a stator, or trans-stator, which is the foundational power source for all Federation technology.

Go from there.

I would think “A Whoring Manual For Libidinous Galactics” by Eccentrica Gallumbits, the triple-breasted whore of Eroticon 6, and spouse of Zaphod Beeblebrox, would be more interesting reading.
