Is that an NA beer? I enjoy a craft beer on occasion, but the whole craft beer scene has gotten a little pretentious. Give me an ice cold Negra Modelo and I'm good. Keystone Light was my beer of choice during college, ha ha.

Nada beer is no beer. As in I don't drink beer anymore. But when I did I'd enjoy a good Longboard.

I just got back from a tournament. Parents from mainly East Coast were saying how beautiful it is in California but that the politics were a bit extreme. Kinda ironic coming from them. Definitely not onboard with the trans sports movement. Makes me wonder who really is...

These people can’t see that once again they are being lead around by the nose. No one talks about this lunacy but them. Another false flag issue to sway them from any thoughts of questioning where they now are.

^^^The scary thing is you actually believe all of that. You and your buddy @espola are neck-deep in the BS. And anyone questioning it, resistant to it, or calling BS is anti-____. The truth is many either aren't drinking the same Kool-Aid that you two are and never have, or they are seeing the BS for what it really is and moving to the side of facts and reality.

Could you please diagram that last sentence in order to clarify its meaning?

Wine snobs think it's gotten pretentious. The only saving grace is craft snobs still like a burger and onion rings over crackers and brie.

Good God... Keystone and Natty Light. Memories I'd suppressed. Ugh... threw up a little bit in my mouth.

You prefer they keep the 'raunchiness' in schools?

School district officials said they redesigned their instructional guides for teachers because of revised state teaching standards and a new set of state exams that cover a vast array of books and writing styles.

“It was also in consideration of the law,” said school district spokeswoman Tanya Arja, referring to the newly expanded Parental Rights in Education Act. The measure, promoted and signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, tells schools to steer clear of content and class discussion that is sexual in nature unless it is related to a standard, such as health class.


“There’s some raunchiness in Shakespeare,” said Joseph Cool, a reading teacher at Gaither High School. “Because that’s what sold tickets during his time.”

In staying with excerpts, the schools can teach about Shakespeare while avoiding anything racy or sexual.

It's another form of censorship. Just go over the material that not sexualized and avoid having to worry about the stuff that is..

So, no Romeo? No Juliet?

No Hamlet and Ophelia?

HAMLET: Lady, shall I lie in your lap?
OPHELIA: No, my lord.
HAMLET: I mean, my head upon your lap?
OPHELIA: Ay, my lord.
HAMLET: Do you think I meant country matters?
OPHELIA: I think nothing, my lord.
HAMLET: That’s a fair thought to lie between maids’ legs.
OPHELIA: What is, my lord?
HAMLET: Nothing.
