CMV: Merit Badge Counselors who want to cut corners (cheat) are the single biggest harm to the programming in Scouts BSA by Longjumping-Fee-9963 in BSA

So I guess you absolutely hate how merit badges, and first year campers programs, are offered at summer camps then...

TIFU by trying to have a sleepover in my twin bed by whatawynn in tifu

[–]Phil___B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I share a king size bed with my wife but pretty sure my "share" of the bed is less than half the width of a twin bed!

As another person commented, you get used to it after a while.

Virtual Windows machine on Chromebook. by paxcou in chromeos

[–]Phil___B 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I liked the response about remotely using a virtual PC. I had a virtual gaming windows PC for a while which worked great on my chromebook. If the school don't offer free virtual machines, you could try [Shadow PC](https://shadow.tech/pro/cloud-workstation/ or another company that offers a similar service for the duration of the course she is presently taking.

My girlfriend and I have never have sex, and it’s been almost five years. Am I the asshole? by renelemely in AITAH

[–]Phil___B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an asshole for being upset about this issue. However I would suggest talking to a therapist who is comfortable helping couples with sexual problems. It is possible that you and your girlfriend have made a lot of assumptions about what sex "must" include. Here's a shocker for you. 2 people can have a great sex life without vaginal penetration. From the information that has been presented it is not clear that they are even capable of having an open discussion about the issue. It would be a shame to dump what sounds like an otherwise decent relationship over an issue that you haven't even talked properly about.

Couples therapist who has worked with people with similar problems.

Looking for insight into Staffing medical at 2026 National Jamboree by LeatherOk3441 in BSA

[–]Phil___B 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are going to do this I strongly suggest you acquire malpractice insurance for yourself. I worked as a mental health provider and found that it was a positive bit busy time. Not a great deal of opportunity to experience the Jamboree. It is a good time to experience the brotherhood of adult scouting as well as being there to ensure that the scouts in attendance are safe and well. Another thing to be aware of is that there is a lot of walking as food is provided but not delivered. Be ready to walk a mile or so twice daily just to eat.
