    Geeks who had kids later in life

    I never felt the pull to have kids. All my friends had them and it was fun to be the cool uncle. My brothers started having them and my view started to soften. By the time I was 38 I had found someone to settle down with and we had a son. I thought I knew what I was getting into. I had NO FOCKING clue how much he changed my life. He is THE best thing I have ever been a part of. Being a parent changed me in a profound way that you will never really understand without being a parent. It has been a challenge for sure. Parenting is flying by the seat of your pants and trying NOT to fock up you kid while also guarding to make sure others to not either. I have 2 sets of people who know me. The ones who knew me pre being a parent knew me as a couch surfing fockup that did not have a career. Just jobs. When my son was born something in me snapped and I KNEW I had to do better. BE better. People who know me NOW laugh at the idea of me EVER being a fockup. They literally do not believe me when I tell them. All they see is superdad. The guy who has a stay at home job and shows up to all his stuff. I grinded from 7 bucks an hour when he was born to 60 now just an average joe with a HS diploma. Worked for companies that everyone has heard of. All because of him.I would not change anything in the world. When you are trying That MOMENT when you look into your kids eyes you KNOW this is what you wanted and as an older parent I think you appreciate it more. I will mention that as an older parent it makes for super strange situations where as a 40 year old, you may be crossing paths with parents who cannot even buy beer yet. Or possibly drive
  3. What is crazy to me is they could have picked so many other people. If they really wanted snow white to be brown they could have went with Selena Gomez. She would have been a beautiful snow white. +
  4. She killed the movie. If this movie came out and it had another brown actress, I think it could have been fine. She went out of her way to say things that turned people off from the movie. If I were a director I would lump her in with Blake Lively as someone I would never work with. alexandra daddario would have been the perfect snow white BTW

    Detroit city really is turning things around

    Dan Gilbert. That is why detroit is turning around.
  9. There is ZERO chance you can have an unbiased news org with that type of balance. Then they will turn around with a straight face and tell you they have never seen bias at NPR. It is a joke.
  10. hahaha I loved the prairie home companion. He was funny. So were the car talk guys. That is when I got hooked on NPR. Then like a bad drug dealer it just went south from there.
  11. Npr. are a bunch of partisan hacks. My hope is they have their federal funding slashed. They always make a false claim that they only get 1 percent of their budget from the federal government. That is a blatant lie. It is really along the lines of 25-30 percent through CPB grants. If the federal government stopped giving those grants there is ZERO chance that NPR could continue. As it is they do quarterly fund drives to shore up their finances. This would put them in a hole they would likely never be able to recover from.
  12. I would never wear a MAGA hat or display in any way that I voted for or support trump. Me voting for him is good enough. I do not need to become the target of some liberal loon who justifies burning my car to the ground because of who I supported.

    DEI only helps white women. 😂 what a scam

    The reason why DEI helped white women is because the corporate world was able to cheat by using them as DEI hires in place of people of color.

    DEI only helps white women. 😂 what a scam

    When you are done raising your son and your wife decides she wants to leave, you are going to end up paying more because she did not have a job outside the house. While YOU provide, YOU get focked in the divorce.

    DEI only helps white women. 😂 what a scam

    "DEI helped white women, latinos, asians and gays: blacks were the least positively affected by DEI." DEI helped white men the least and it is not even close. DEI was invented to punish white men and reward all others. Blacks and people of color were certainly positively effected and to say that blacks are not complaining about DEI being removed is not correct either. I spend a lot of time on LinkedIn and I see it daily. How it is not fair.

    DEI only helps white women. 😂 what a scam

    I have said this for years. There are 2 parts to DEI. The first is to give people of color the chance for a job over any white person. The second is to give white women that chance over white men. In DEI white men come last no matter what. Here is the deal with that. It allows companies to cheat at their DEI representation. They can hire white women and claim it to be a DEI hire while not even having to dip into the POC pool of employees if they do not want to. In the situation I have explained here before where I was told to hire someone that "did not look like me" they hired a white woman.

    Michigan state looked strong.
  19. That is all well and good but the WNBA may not even have a season next year. The players are talking about striking and the WNBA owners would just lock them out.
  20. My loony conspiracy theory is that not only did oswald act alone he missed killing his target. His target was John Connolly who denied his request to have his dishonorable discharge expunged. Oswalds own wife testified that while she never heard him say anything about Kennedy he would rail against Connolly. No one wants to believe Camelot fell because Kennedy was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
  21. If Mexico wants to be serious about their cartel problem they should try El Salvadors plan. They went from one of the most dangerous countries in the world to likely safer than Canada now. If they are gang affiliated they go to prison for life. Same here. Cartel affiliated? Prison for life. What we know about the El Salvador ‘mega prison’ where Trump is sending alleged Venezuelan gang members El Salvador’s Cecot mega-prison was notorious long before the Trump administration’s recent decision to deport hundreds of alleged Venezuelan gang members there. The Center for Terrorism Confinement, to give it its full name, is considered the largest prison in the Americas – with a capacity of 40,000 inmates – and has been the biggest symbol in the Latin American country’s controversial crackdown on domestic crime. It is now home to some of the country’s most hardened criminals, including mass murderers and gang members billed as the “worst of the worst” and is notorious for the spartan conditions in which they are kept. In a recent visit, CNN’s David Culver and his team described cells “built to hold 80 or so inmates” where men are held for 23.5 hours a day and “the only furniture is tiered metal bunks, with no sheets, pillows or mattresses 
 an open toilet, a cement basin and plastic bucket for washing and a large jug for drinking water.” Some 10,000 to 20,000 prisoners are currently thought to be housed there, with the most recent arrivals being the 261 people the Trump administration deported from the US over the weekend – 238 of whom it accused of belonging to the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua and 23 alleged members of the MS-13 gang. El Salvador’s leader Nayib Bukele – a strongman president and self-styled “world’s coolest dictator” – offered to house the US deportees in Cecot as part of an unprecedented deal in which the US will pay $6 million dollars in return. The money will help sustain El Salvador’s penitentiary system, which currently costs $200 million a year. Harsh conditions Those deported by the US got a taste of the prison’s uncompromising policies as soon as they arrived Sunday morning. Officers held their heads down to waist-level as they escorted them to the facility in shackles. The new inmates were then forced to kneel while prison guards shaved their hair and shouted commands.

Is that clear?” one officer shouts at the visibly disturbed inmates in a video shared by the Salvadoran government. Such brutal introductions have been a hallmark of the prison since it started housing inmates a few years ago. Images published by the government in 2023 showed some of the first prisoners being transferred to the facility, stripped down to white boxer shorts, with their heads shaved, as they were forced to run into their cells. The CNN team that visited in late 2024 described the deprivation as “deliberate,” noting the men were allowed out of their crowded cells for just 30 minutes a day, that “there is no privacy here, no trace of comfort” and the lights are on 24/7.

They are not allowed books or a deck of cards or letters from home. Plates of food are stacked outside the cells at mealtimes and pulled through the bars. No meat is ever served. The 30-minute daily respite is merely to leave the cell for the central hallway for group exercise or Bible readings,” wrote CNN’s David Culver and his team. Inmates are not allowed visits from family or friends and some of them must face the possibility that they will never be released. “We believe in rehab, but just for common criminals,” Public Security Minister Gustavo Villatoro said at the time of CNN’s visit.

Some people have even been locked up without any due process, critics say. The incarcerations have been part of Bukele’s controversial efforts to stem the high crime rates and gang violence that have plagued the country for years. In 2022, Bukele, with the support of lawmakers, declared a state of emergency which allowed the government to temporarily suspend constitutional rights, including the right to legal defense provided by the state. The measure was intended to last 30 days but has been extended dozens of times and continues to this day. In the three years since it was declared, security forces have arrested nearly 87,000 people nationwide, or more than 1% of the Salvadoran population, according to authorities. The government insists the crackdown has made the country safer, but critics say it has violated people’s rights and resulted in countless cases of wrongful detentions. Bukele has admitted that some innocent people have been detained by mistake but says several thousand of them have already been released. He argues that the tough measures have been necessary to transform the country from being dubbed the “murder capital of the world” to what he now considers one of the safest on Earth.

    Daniel Jones to Indy

    For sure. He saw ghosts in the pocket after that.
  23. I do not have problem with LGB's. It is the T's that I do not care for and the LGB's allowed the T's to hitch their wagon to their cause. Allowing this was a setback for LGBs because they were already accepted. Now with the T's tossed in people look at the LGBs as enablers.

    Trump vacates Biden's pardons

    I am not so sure it is planned either. I think it is just him being him. Instead of tweeting at all hours like his first term he seems to be devoting that energy to getting things done he wants.
