No, they are the not-a-bank’s not-a-banks.

That’s why you should only bank at banks and not bank at not-a-banks.

I mean, I would rather lease than paying a 7 year note on a car.

That’s crazy. The car legitimately might not last that long.

Guys, just lease the damn car.

But while you should focus on the no. 1 stuff, you are far too easily distracted by the no. 2 stuff.

The Scouts news this weekend is a perfect example. Functionally nothing changed in the program, but they are able to make you go insane like a puppet.

Yes, I do think they are dropping this issue. I think Hegseth realized that he wasn’t going to get the traction on this he wanted so he agreed a nothing burger and declared victory for himself.

I’m not ignoring the concerns of the Trans youth, it’s just that the “demands” won’t actually change them. The BSA has already issued a statement that trans youth are still welcome in scouting. No one is going to be checking anyone’s birth certificates. Literally nothing changed.

Get a grip.

They did away with one merit badge and added one elective. “DEI” is baked throughout the scout program and basically all the topics covered in that one merit badge are covered in lots of other parts the program. Including the whole point of the scout law.

You are losing your mind over nothing. Get a grip.

Yeah, I would absolutely take issue with the head of a government institution saying something like that.

Yeah. He knows that. That’s exactly why he does it. How do y’all not know their playbook by now? There are only two plays.

1. Do evil Nazi shit.
2. Say stupid shit online to keep the press and liberal Internet circles distracted from the evil Nazi shit.

That’s the whole playbook.

This is what I was saying last Friday when the memo dropped. The memo was a nothing burger. Functionally nothing changed about the program. Hegseth got nothing he wanted.

People online just can’t help themselves from losing their minds. Literally anything can make people lose their minds. A headline could be “Hegseth declare that all banana splits served to troops be gendered as male” and y’all would lose your minds like clockwork.

Dude. Literally no one is out there screen shotting “tankies” on lemmy. It’s just in your head.

Persecution complex really knows no bounds.

That preserving rituals is important for maintaining community.
