I can’t ride the Batman roller coaster anymore 😞

My torso is too long, my shoulders get pinched when lowering the restraints into position

I got banned from Six Flags once when I was a kid

I was on that ride that shoots straight up and hangs for a moment before dropping

I wanted to get a picture of the view at the top, but but when I pulled the disposable camera out of my pocket some change fell out and it nearly hit the crowd below

When getting off the ride the young guy running the ride rolled his eyes and gave me a speech he was clearly forced to memorize, banning me from the park.

I felt bad about what had happened, and I just walked away to find my parents.

He didn’t take my name or picture. No one ever came to escort me from the park, so I guess I was never actually banned.

Just made me think I was.

The executive leadership certainly did

That’s not what it means, at all

Criminality and incivility, so hot right now

A scout is obedient, a scout follows the rules of their family, school, and troop. They obey the laws of their community and country.

Considering just how far we’ve fallen, calling someone a boy scout is a pejorative followed closely by “were you raped?” with the assumption that every boy scout gets raped

Scouts are old school, we can see how little society wants people like scouts by the ideals scouts are taught

Scout Law:

• Trustworthy
• Loyal
• Helpful
• Friendly
• Courteous
• Kind
• Obedient
• Cheerful
• Thrifty
• Brave
• Clean
• Reverent

Scout Oath:

On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.

Scout motto:

Be Prepared

Scout slogan:

Do a good turn daily

Society does not reward people who adhere to these ideals anymore. In fact, they are actively ostracized

I miss objective news in general

Everything has a spin on it, even if it’s subtle

Bought a highly rated QLED a year ago

Already getting dark spots on the screen

Getting an OLED next time

The good looking guys would get preferential treatment by the male leadership for sure, but nowhere near on the level the women would get.

Especially if anyone actually was exchanging preferential treatment for sexual favors. I always thought it was weird that it was an open secret that it was going on and noone ever did anything about it

Saw it in the military frequently

Pretty soldiers advanced fastest and received preferential treatment when it came to awards, work opportunities, and time off

I saw both men and women receive special treatment, but mostly women since the leadership was mostly always men

Both

Flapjacks

Visiting? No.

Saluting a NK General while you are there? Probably.

I kinda thought using the first vaccine and the most current vaccine in my explanation would infer that I am aware of the difference

The question is meant to be more conceptually overarching and abstract

If the innovation is the airplane then it doesn’t matter if it’s an old timey biplane or or a next generation stealth fighter

If the the innovation is the vaccine then it doesn’t matter if it’s a smallpox vaccine or an mRNA vaccine

It doesn’t seem like you’re understanding what I’m saying much at all.

By your definition everything is innovative

Maybe that in of itself is the problem here, equating the words innovative and invention.

Try replacing innovative with groundbreaking or original perhaps

But saying that advent of aviation and automobiles is just bikes and trains with wings or more wheels kinda goes to prove a lack of arguing in good faith here

I am also thankful that my children were born in this era as well

There has been significant progress in the treatment of cystic fibrosis

Still not the kind of innovation I am talking about

I don’t see very many humans naturally flapping their arms flying around very often

There was that one guy, but I’d say it was more falling with style than flying

… and he didn’t stick the landing

I also disagree

Your reply in of itself is a fallacy

An airplane relying upon improvements engine and material design does not negate the very real revelation of human flight to the world

Nor does your oversimplified and ultimately incorrect explanation steam engines and evolution of horse drawn vehicles

Especially considering the first automobiles were steam powered

It completely misses the point

The horseless carriage itself was the innovation

I apologize for not explaining the question more thoroughly

I am talking about innovation in a fully realized concept

I always thought that flying cars would be the next major leap in innovation, but it’s still in its fledgling stages
