Very true. Sadly, probably not something they'll budge on any time soon, but then again it's a volunteer organization, so maybe there's hope.
I can't argue with that, but I'd have no qualms about "lying" about a ''make believe'' thing anyway. Tons of kids get their religious award and then never step foot in a church again. It would be very nice if kids could be honest about it though, even just picking a religion to earn the reward for as an academic exercise should be allowed I think learning about how much of a part religion can play in people's lives, how it affects their judgement, is a good thing for a person to learn about, and perhaps that's the final test. Respecting the requirement for the sake of the ceremony maybe. Even a (respectful) atheist would take their hat off in a place of worship if asked to.
it is, BUT, if you read between the lines of the requirements, there's plenty of room for pragmatic atheists (in pragmatic packs/troops). It's not perfect, but overall Scouting has absolutely embraced inclusiveness.
He looks so much like Gary Oldman. It must be the Zorg haircut.
Themselves. I'm just saying internally they run it like an investment fund. Example: https://medium.com/design-ibm/area-631-what-i-learned-in-ibms-start-up-and-innovation-program-d87ed98f9549
It's basically an investment fund that runs the companies it invests in, like Alphabet, but with a bigger mix of real estate and finance investments thrown in.
IBM is 100, but the Internet didn't exist in 1924, so we'll say the clock starts in 1989. I'm pretty sure at least MS or IBM will be around in 15 years.
That's fucked up, I'm sorry you had to live through that.
Imagine scrolling back in the Slack chat 50 years to find that one thing someone said about how the chip bypass worked.
Lemmy's bigger than ever, and that's a direct consequence of reddit's enshittification, so there's that at least.
