A "fair shake" is equality. @Ron_Artestsaid upthread, and since your post has repeated, that the goal of DEI is equity, which is equal outcomes. Keep in mind that in some cultural circles, things like timeliness and math are racist. So we'll just have to work around those inconveniences to change the way we do successful business. Also to build bridges that don't collapse.

I live in Phoenix so I don't remember if I own one. Most of the ones I see are wimmens using them to block the sun on a walk/hike.

I said going away, not gone away. Is your idea of an "intelligent" discussion a failed attempt at a squizzy-level semantic gotcha? I agree somewhat with this, but also, the road to Leftist hell is usually paid with good intentions.

So, no focus, and ignores what I posted from NPR about DEI going away before Trump. But, you managed to work "maga" in, did you hit your daily quota?

@patweisers44

Focus gutter. You are defending the DEI Leftist grift, even though anti-DEI sentiment had been growing before the mean orange man.

I remember when conservatives recognized NPR as a Leftist outlet, and when they didn't bemoan jobs going the way of home ice delivery driver. Just own your Leftiness, gutter.

I thought you ignored me because I biotch-slapped you one too many times.

Whatabout is this, conservative?

Gutterboy is really a conservative who just happens to hate Trump. He also defends the DEI grift including people fired under the Biden* regime.

Funny, I had narrowed it down to three guys, and these were two of them. JJ Spaun @Alias Detective

Interesting timing of this topic, as yesterday I saw Field of Dreams for the first time. Weird movie, and touching of course. I didn't have anything of a falling out like Costner's character, but to me, my dad was something of an "old man" while I knew him. I didn't realize it at the time; it wasn't until after he died (I was 18) that I began to hear stories of how he was a partying lady's man back before he got married. Basically, in hindsight it seemed that he decided that he was done with that part of his life, and that it was time to start the responsible husband and father part. Which he did well. On a scale of 1-10, he was an 11 in my world. My world as a young kid mostly involved three other boys in my tightest friend group, and their dads were all variations of shiot. So maybe it is relative a bit, but I can't compare otherwise, and I have no desire to complain. Yeah, my brother and I got spanked (hand, belt), but it was after we acted up, never for no reason. The song "Leader of the Band" by Dan Fogelberg reminds me of him the most. They don't write lyrics like that any more. Now get off my lawn. One quick story: @Tebok will remember, as a fellow trumpet player, that I got a silver Bach Stradivarius trumpet for Christmas in HS. This is like, I dunno, the Ferrari, or Rolex, of trumpets. My dad was a foreman in a shoe factory, we didn't have Ferraris or Rolexes. Anyway, I always presumed that it was my mom who pushed for them to get me it. But I learned later that it was him. It's hanging on my wall as I type this. I can't play it anymore because of my laryngectomy. That saddens me for multiple reasons, not the least of which is the above story. As I type this, it occurs to me that I should find some young aspiring trumpet player to gift it to. I'm going to look into this. Thanks for the thread, @BeenHereBefore.

I thought about him at my pick. He was my top player at the PGA, and he has been playing really well all year

[Posty] I don't think I've ever seen a complete episode. [/posty] To me it was a show that filled up one of the TVs at the sports bar.

Oops, sorry.

Good win, Lager.

My wife did this yesterday, along with grilled artichoke hearts and a homemade green goddess dressing (avocado, mint, and homemade kefir). It was delicious. In fact I added leftover tri tip to it for a salad for lunch today. Main dish tomorrow is a 3.5 pound beef tenderloin we had in the freezer. Bought it over Christmas but we had too much other food. My local two kids and son's GF are coming over to open the pool for the season, so we should make a good dent in it. Sides are zucchini and potatoes. We wanted some corn on the cob but she said it didn't look good.

That's a lot of center-right takeaways.

That's your takeaway from the curb stomping Rubio put on Van Holland, center-right guy?

They looked mostly peaceful. Let's not deport any of them.

Can they? Might there not be increased scrutiny for student visas at other colleges?
