@Axtremus said in And you thought BoJo had weird hair: I look to a day when people will not be judged by the stylings of their hair, but by the content of their character. That wouldn't really work that well for BoJo.

Can't not laugh at that.

As one analyst recently put it: The logic of the Kremlin regime is completely different [than the logic of NATO]. There is no "acceptable" or "unacceptable" price, there is only victory or defeat. The Kremlin has decided that winning the war is the only way for the current regime to retain power, and for the people at the top to stay alive and free. Thus, defeat in the war is a "point of no return" and any price of victory is acceptable.

Problem is, at a SEC school, especially LSU, Alabama, etc., football pays for a lot of the other sports. Especially women's sports and more obscure men's sports (golf, anyone?). And at a LSU, football also pays for some academics.

And your point?

According to the demand letter, the school district’s policy is, “in most cases,” to room students based on the gender they identify as, rather than their sex. Pubescent boy: "Gee, I wonder if I say I'm a girl, I can sleep next to one." I've put an epidural into a 13 year old.

That’s more than joust the activists point of view. That’s been the medical consensus for years and was supported by two absurd studies using a ridiculously small cohort and that many many problems, not the least of which was it was a self reporting survey. The findings supported the idea that social transition and (even more importantly) medical transition was necessary to save trans kids lives. This is why Doctors started telling parents “would you prefer a dead daughter or a living son?” and why school districts have felt justified in socially transitioning kids without parental consent or even consultation. It was settled science! I hope the upcoming lawsuits ruin these asshats, and I hope that we eventually start looking at criminal charges.

@Mik said in After Santos: I'm finding it hard to believe anyone is thinking expelling him is a mistake. It's the first sign of integrity I've seen in years. They're Congress Critters. Their integrity is lower than normal or they wouldn't be there. I think it was a mistake to expell him, until convicted. Once convicted, boot him.

@George-K said in A tour through the TDS afflicted mind: Trump is a threat to democracy No he's not Rather than explaining why #1 is true, tell us why #2 is true. Is that the argument? It might be. On the other hand, I don’t see Trumpff as a threat to democracy or becoming a dictator. In the first instance he can’t seem to keep staff. Dictators need mindless minions of varying degrees of competence. Trump’s staff all seem to resign after brief tenures and none to happy with his crassness and lack of sound judgement. In the second instance, no one with half a brain listens to him or is convinced he truly is the American Moses he thinks he is. Americans (and the world) can therefore rest easy because Master Corporal “Bone-spurs” Trump sure as hell ain’t a candidate ever to become the American Caesar

Thou sayest

Such a gross bureaucracy public education turns into.

According to the report, many left-wing preppers fear the re-election of former President Donald Trump could lead to a dictatorship. So the cat is out of the bag. Welcome to the TSA.

@Mik said in My Aqua Moment: One should never be that fussy with restaurant folks unless you are watching them make it. Ayep. "Waiting" was G rated based on the shit I've seen go down to get even with asshole customers.

@George-K said in Larry Was Right: "Turbo lag" is a real and annoying thing. I don't remember which of my cars had an early turbo, and it took some real getting used to. My current car has a 2 liter turbo - and you'd never know it. My mom's early 2000s Acura SUV had an old school turbo. You could feel it kick in half way through the rev range. It had that distinct air pressure loss sound with every gear shift "PSSSsss". My current vehicle has one - there's not way to tell there's a turbo in there. It has a twin scroll that lets gases in at low and high rpm differently. They've come a long way.
