They almost certainly have in house legal teams and those lawyers are salaried.

Your "devil's advocate" is a moron that can safely be told to fuck off. "Cis white males" aren't losing shit -- it's the same damn program it's always been except it's open to all kids now ... and hopefully has far fewer kids getting molested by the adult leaders

cis white male

I would love to hear your "devil's advocate" explain how are the white kids are being hurt by this change.

Not really, unless the house was built incredibly cheaply with thin studs and crappy drywall.

Wood is pretty decent at blocking sound -- it the voids between the studs that's an issue. Filling them with sound deadening insulation solves that problem.

It's not as good at blocking sound as a masonry wall obviously, but it's "good enough" at a fraction of the price.

My toolbag calipers are cheap hardware store ones. They're accurate enough and I'm not out much when they inevitably get damaged or lost.

I'm not saying they stopped doing fucked up shit. I'm saying they stopped doing weird fucked up shit.

I'd argue it's a result of the wider world figuring out how crazy they were and thus being subject to more scrutiny. Also, changing attitudes: there's not quite the "nuclear war is imminent and we're all going to die" mindset.

All that, combined with it being easier to get away with the "loud and crazy" things because information was easier to control before the internet.

It's #walkaway all over again.

The tired, old trope of "Every accusation is a confession" tends to be true with conservatives.

Bubba here.

I'm a nice guy: I give some small, cute dude a compliment and he acts like a total bitch about it? I'm the "creep" because I jokingly asked him if he wants to come back to my cell? Oh, my comments make him uncomfortable? Give me a fuckin' break.

Maybe if he doesn't want guys checking him out he should stop acting and dressing like such a slut.

Oh, they're talking about bear bears -- the animal.

... I feel like the original scenario didn't make that clear.

I don't get it: a bear just makes more sense. Despite their intimidating appearance most are gentle creatures. Their fur and mass can provide warmth, and if you're injured they can easily carry you out of the woods.

If you pick "random man" you might get a twink and I feel like they're more of a liability in a survival situation.

In a hypothetical civil war peoole wouldn't shoot the helicopters and jets. They'd blend with the regular population in to hide from them. They'd shoot the pilot when the pilot is out buying groceries or filling their car with gas ... or kidnap their loved ones.

A civil war would be horrifying. There would be no uniforms, no front lines, and no rules of war. Both sides would go after the other's friends and family when they can't find or attack their enemy directly.
