I’m convinced he’s nothing but a puppet at this point because of mental decline. He wasn’t always though

That’s right, he was in bed with the Russians all the way back in the '80s, when he was merely an idiot (as opposed to senile).

It’s BAD in the sense that Scouting has largely become (arguably always had been) an MLM run by and for the benefit of a few connected business savvy insiders.

Could be worse: could be Girl Scouts.

Seriously though, if both Girl Scouts and “Scouting America” suck, is there some other alternative (short of not participating in a scouting-like organization at all)?

There’s gotta be a token non-rapist in there somewhere, right?

Considering how incompetent they are, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if a staffer or two missed their Epstein Island onboarding without their supervisor noticing.

Confusing or deliberately conflating, depending on whether they’re the fraudster or the mark.

(This does not work for recipes that require exact measurements, like breads)

There’s a reason we have different words for “cooking” and “baking.”

At this point, calling Trumpists “lunatics” is an insult to the moon. We need new superlatives to express the depths of how fucked up they are.

Also, re: “unlikely to pivot to Linux phones:” that’s not because of any sort of “large investment in Android;” it’s because Linux phones either suck or are expensive (or maybe both).
