Please no doomer responses.

I’ve been playing my guitar a fair bit. Relearning the solo dem another brick in the wall pt 2 because I never learned it right whe I was in high school and really wanna get that 5 fret bend down right. Havent learned a solo in a while, pretty easy reintro to solos.

Been getting my old anet 8 3d printer working again for a project for my girlfriend. Pretty fun iterativeprocess.

Also fucking around with retro games on an old pi I had sitting around. Contra hard corps is hella fun.

So what do you like doing? What have you been having fun with? What do you like?

Overall, I thought scouts were on a pretty good trajectory, not that there wasn't plenty of room for improvement, but allowing girls and lgbtq people to participate were solid moves

They still need more accountability for the child abuse issues, but that's probably as much a failing on our laws and policing as it is on the scout organization

And I wish their ties to organizations like the military and NRA weren't as strong.

It's kind of hard to have youth shooting sports without working with the NRA though, since they're the main organization that will train RSOs and such, and without that training I'm pretty sure there's no way in their hell lawyers and insurance companies would sign off of it. And I do, overall, support that part of the program.

But really it's the military ties that I don't like, since their support and resources were what Trump/Hegseth were able to use as leverage against them.

Would also really like them to ditch the religion requirement as well

    Yah these two right here, you hit the nail on the head, I haven’t been involved since the 90’s but yah, elegantly put. Not sure where they go from here though…i wonder if the military culture and trump coziness dies with an administration change or if just ends up being another pipeline for young kids to get funneled into the military. I also remember that religion was optional. I did the Ad Altare Dei program, but I don’t remember it being mandatory but that was also several decades ago lol.
