Man I will be so glad when every piece of journalism on the internet doesn't start with a meandering anecdote. That trend really can't die soon enough.

My older sister played water polo in HS and I heard some poo poo from her friends after they all graduated. It's a rough time.


One of the ultimate lessons of the Trump presidency (assuming we live to see it end) will be to quit while you're ahead. Everyone's life, including Trump's and everyone else around him, would have been better off if he was just content to chill in his gold-plated penthouse all day instead of running for president as a way to launch a cable news network (if you believe that rumor)

The presidency is the ultimate Peter Principle.

Nah, certain things stick around just because how bizarre they are. Trump making a pocahontas reference while trying to honor some native americans is forgotten, but poo poo hole is such a distinct word I bet it sticks around like "grab em by the pussy"

None of the awful things Trump has said have ever had any meaningful effect on him and I don't see any reason to believe a disparaging remark about a couple of countries is going to be different. He said he literally grabbed women by the pussy and still became president.

A lot of young adult fiction is super messed up.

The Giver is about a totalitarian society and I think no one can read? I also remember there being some sexweirds in it.
Hatchet is about a kid who gets stranded in the woods after a plane crashes and everyone dies.
The Hunger Games are about how everyone deep down is evil and manipulative and wants to watch you kill others for sport
Animorphs we already talked about
Bridge to Terebithia is about kids dying of cancer I think?

Bridge to Terebithia is great. It's about a boy and girl who become friends and create an imaginary world. At the end she drowns.

Not Quite Human series. Kid's name was CHIP. I was conflating it with a lovely movie in the 1980s called DARYL with a similar premise.

This was also a movie with Alan Thicke.

Well not really, it’s just a good sport for short people. Just like basketball is for tall people. gymnasts tend to be in great shape outside of wrists and poo poo. It’s not like gymnastics coaches and parents are keeping their kids in cages to ensure they don’t grow

No. It's a sport where girls who have not developed fully have a distinct advantage. There is a reason China is always trying to sneak 12 year olds in. The result is you end up with young girls training non stop under tremendous pressure, to say nothing of the weirdos in charge.

Hah. No way. These girls have been doing gymnastics since they were five or younger. Ten year olds jumping into gymnastics would stand no chance, even in just a regional level. The amount of work required to be good is almost hard to understand.

2 of my nieces are competitive cheerleaders, which is 1/3 tumbling, 1/3 acrobatics & 1/3 dance, and they are pretty damned good athletes. They train year-round. Another niece is a gymnast, and her training regimen is basically exactly the same as the cheerleaders. All 3 of them are badasses, and I enjoy watching them compete

Whew boy when I was in IT... So I used to work for a Mennonite (amish lite) owned company, very religious had a lot of long time lifers that led prayer circles etc etc. We had a web filter we didn't really get alerts or anything from because we didn't care to monitor activity only prevent malware, except for one day we had to look for something and noticed a guy getting flagged for porn every day between certain hours going back pretty much the entire history of the filter. Not just any porn, specifically nudist family stuff. This guy led the prayer circle. Whole situation was gross, they nuked his entire office because of "stains under the desk" and I can only :barf: remember the times I've shook his hand.

Anyways that was the only time I was glad to revoke access

Everyday he prayed he didn't get caught.
