When you've grown up in the ghetto it's hard to get people to understand it's not the area that's bad, it's the people. Biggie is a perfect example of shitty people that make the ghetto what it is. He's glorifying a shitty lifestyle then he becomes a martyr because of his shitty choices. People want to believe they can rise up and get rich like him but they don't realize they have to get rid of this shitty attitude and culture they've created in order to get away from it.
You know Mike doesn't eat poor people food. He just decides what everyone else deserves. It'ss always double standards when it comes to them.
It wasn't just a failure. Big Mike's idea of what the poor should eat was so disconnected from reality that it actually saw a massive drop in kids eating at schools. This included schools dropping out of the program all together to be able to feed students.
If you start with the reasoning that the dems are trying to destroy everything they touch this actually makes sense. Look at what they did to math with the common core garbage.
I recently had the pain of dealing with a bike shop owner who now identifies as a woman. From my few interactions with him and some of the odd things he said I can say with a straight face that I am completely disgusted with the fetish they're pushing on everyone. That's what this is. A 55+ year old man with kids decides that he's now a woman is not body dysphoria, it's people hopping on a bandwagon.
I watched this for the first time recently. The entire trilogy is good, but The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly is probably a top 10 movie of all time. The entire cemetery scene is just amazing.
It's a known problem. Teenage boys have more muscle mass and size advantage over an adult woman. The boys were also trained players, even if they have less experience, they'll dominate by size and speed alone.
See also the Serena sisters losing to a guy ranked #200 in the mens leagues. The article is missing the fun part where the guy jokes about drinking, smoking, and them being so easy he didn't even bother warming up.
All politics aside I have a SAHW and am looking at homeschooling my kids. I'm sure my wife has some complaints about being at home all the time but it really helps having the job duties divided. I have the job, manage the money, and set goals for 0 debt and retirement. She takes care of the kids, does most of the cleaning, and handles most of the meals. My only complaint is that modern society tries to require 2 people working but if you manage your money and don't waste money on garbage you'll do alright.
With all of that said I don't think you could ever convey that kind of relationship to the people she's dealing with. It's hard to see it as a situation where people are working together through the lens of commie propaganda.
It's a long standing joke about the SJW types that a lot of them have fetal alcohol syndrome. After having seen enough reference to it over the years I believe it's probably true. Google image search showing FAS here.
I'm willing to bet that modern society has produced a lot of this that we don't pay attention to. Just think about the single mother rates in the US and ask yourself how many of them got knocked up during their party years and didn't realize they were pregnant until a few months in.
I can verify this is true.
Those boats are nice and relaxing and the beaches you visit are beautiful, but you could save a lot of headaches and go to a beach anywhere in America. You would have more options on what you can do and you won't be stuck with a waiter that adds $5 tips to every drink you order.
This is a repeat of the same crap they've been pushing for years. When I was growing up it was Modonna/Britney Spears/What's her name doing this on stage at an award show.
Before that it was just Madonna being a whore in the 80's. I'm not old enough to know who did it before them.
The pictures on the right is the CR/Intersectional nut jobs that took over atheism and called it atheism+. One of the biggest flaws of atheism is that as a group the only shared belief is "god doesn't exist". So when the CR people showed up they latched onto the kids being kicked out of religious homes and built up from there. There was really no way for atheists as a group to defend against a machine like CR that so readily devours everything it touches. I would even argue the atheist movement was too naive but that's another argument.
The major issue that posts like this don't cover is the argument of which god. This is key when talking about theism vs atheism (I'll leave anti-theist alone for this argument). If you say that only god will fix things, the next question is which god? Because we know that religious groups can and will kill each other to end up being right. So you're back to the beginning of your argument about what defines morality between groups of people. It's an argument as old as society and in our age we've got things like the bill of rights, constitution, and a slew of laws that are enforced by police/judges. They're secular in nature and allow disparate groups to agree to a common set of laws to keep society working despite arguments about who's faith is correct.
This movie is pretty good and his character is extremely flawed to the point of perfection. I rewatched it recently and noticed all of the little things I missed before. Guy has some anger problems. His wife divorced him and the judge makes an example of him. At one point while talking to the cops the wife even admits he didn't do anything so there's no reason to take his kid from him. His mom makes a comment about how he blames her for something she said in court. It really gets under your skin how realistic those parts about father's losing there kids are.
So I live in a rural area and this weekend I went to a local bike shop. I needed to order a bike for the Mrs. Part of a life style change to get more exercise. I've been in this shop before and the owner looks/acts like a 60yr old hippy. He's a good guy but talks too much.
When I went into the shop to order, the owner is now a woman, or at least he tries to dress like one. The yellow guys face is pretty close to what he looks like. The guy wouldn't let me go, just kept talking, and trying to act womanly. When I say act I mean act badly, he didn't do anything to disguise his voice, and his hands looked like he had been an electrician his whole life. I managed to keep my cool knowing this is my best option in the area. Bottom line is that this is a fetish. This guy is getting off on having every day people validate his insanity because they just want to get there equipment.
This shop is East of the town I live in and is probably one of the best shops in the area. My only other option is West of me and smaller with fewer options. I decided to stick with them until this bike is done. After that I'll have to drive the longer distance if I want my bike repaired under warranty.
I believe it started with body positivity and the focus of the regressive mob was on people with deformities. They used them as a stepping stool to stand on while they virtue signaled. It quickly got overran by fat activists who pushed the "healthy at every size" bs. It seems that the haes crowd has fallen and whatever took over is part of the larger attempt to trash our society.
I keep telling people to just wait till the Dems destroy the housing market then we can go back to post 2008 and make houses more affordable again. I live in a rural area but many neighborhoods were destroyed by property investors bringing in shit tenants. Everyone bought into the invest in rentals but none of them bought multi tenant properties, they bought up single family homes.
I don't want to defend Biden because the recent history with the dogs is really jacked up. But I want to point out that sometimes you just can't control an animal when it decides to get wild. Not to long ago I had to put down a dog I really liked because it started guarding my newborn from other family members. You'd be surprised how quickly a dog can turn and how vicious they can get.
It's my understanding that someone used an SQL injection attack. Apparently the back end of Gab is freely available but Gab is out of date and got hit by an old bug.
Now the question is was there anything useful to steal? This post seems to indicate that they're going after the owner and the blackmailing is just an attempt to make him look bad. Even if they post some porn all he has to do is deny it and that's it. This was all done maliciously so you could technically deny anything the bad actors do. I find it odd that the person who stole any data thinks that they are valuable enough to pay off or even bother listening to.
Thank you for the info. I'll go through the items you recommended.
I'm in rural Ohio. I'll start figuring out the laws.
I'll continue looking at curriculums. The key thing for me is making sure that down the road they don't get hurt by being home schooled. I know that some home school options will get you a public school degree or a GED, which can get you into a lot of 2 year or trade schools. I just want to make sure they can do better than their parents and aren't hindered by not having a state sponsored degree.
You mentioned workbooks and hand writing. I bought a dry erase book at my local book store that has tracing for numbers, letters, and some misc items like matching items by drawing a line between them. My 4 yr old loves it and it's been helping with her drawing skills a lot. She can trace letters but usually doesn't want to :-) It's nice because you can wipe the page down instead of needing another workbook.
As for your comments on sitting kids in a school all day. My wife and I had a similar conversation. Without even getting into the modern problems with school you have the travel to and from school, lunch, study hall, breaks, and gym class. That's around 4 hours of your day right there. When you add the time a teacher takes to start and end a class then it's probably even less time learning than we think. You could do so much more with your kids time by not leaving them there the 2nd half the day to be baby sat.
I'm also from Ohio, am in the same boat as you. I also see a lot of people doing the SAHM thing. I'm happy with it even though everything nowadays seems to be against married couples and single provider homes.
My oldest will be starting school in 2022. Do you have any links to home schooling materials for Ohio? I'm looking at doing the public home schooling but have only begun to dig into how it works. I was thinking public homeschooling so the kids could do the SAT's and look for higher education if they want to be an Engineer or Dr someday.
I've been doing ABC Mouse already. That's been good for the early learning stuff but iirc it stops at 2nd grade. ABC Mouse is more of a secondary thing to help teach kids so I'd need better material to work from as the primary source.
If you're building your own it may be worth your time to check out open source DVR's. The best option I found was zoneminder at https://zoneminder.com. The biggest complaint I ran into was that the GUI wasn't like our paid for products and there's a learning curve.
I had some old VCP's I tested that did 10fps output as a JPEG stream and there was a lot of trial and error getting the URL worked out so the size of the image was right and the borders of the web page didn't' show up in the feed. If you use newer IP cameras open source will work a lot better for you.
You forgot one of the best of the lies; Peak Oil. I was told in elementary school that oil would be gone by 2000 and everything would collapse. I realize only now as an adult how stupid that is to tell to a group of children.
I once did consulting for a battery recycling company. It depends on what's in them and what price they're going to the recycler for. Battery recyclers jump through a lot of hoops due to the chemicals in them so if tesla makes the costs right it will be handled between manufacture/reseller and an industrial recycler.
Consumers are a different story. Not sure who's going to take it directly from the consumer. Maybe auto shops or auto retail chains? Some of them will recycle normal car batteries so it may fall under that category.
I thought this was always the plan. Openly let your thugs destroy businesses/cities/families and during the rebuilding scream diversity and offer up resources only to a select group of people based on skin color and sex.
TDS aside I hate the rebound mentality. Something goes wrong with your personal life so the best thing to do is make more bad decisions. Then blame those decisions on the problem that started it. Gotta be responsible for your actions at some point.
Whenever I see pictures like this all I see is a stage. I've noticed it with other politicians and celebrities "working from home". There's no way that's a room where actual work gets done. It's 100% there to convey a homely and friendly image of the Butcher of Lansing.
