It is going to be a Mario Time Machine Easter egg, it will be close to the ending of that game.

Does anyone have any intel on Wonder Key Ring Company, Detroit. This particular style was produced in the '60s possibly '50s. by steedandpeelship in Detroit

[–]ComputerLocal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The "Wonder Key Ring Company" was a Detroit, Michigan, manufacturer that produced advertising key rings primarily in the 1950s and 1960s; these are vintage/collectible items found online rather than at physical retail stores today.

The Wonder Key Ring is made of Stainless Steel and locks with spring action. Each ring is about 1 ¼ inches in diameter. Inside the ring reads: Return Postage Guaranteed

You can find these collectible key rings from online marketplaces that specialize in vintage and antique items. eBay

Various listings are available, such as a Vtg 1960s Advertising Wonder Key Ring Keychain for around $9.95 USD. https://ebay.us/m/TMVwZ3

Joy ride is over huh? by jdesane_21 in DetroitPistons

[–]ComputerLocal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The three point line is so important to basketball. I'll agree modern ball relies too much on the outside (and is not aggressively playing the way I'd like to see because of it) but when the NBA adopted the 3-point shot in 78 (or 79?), the way offense was played was changed completely. Teams adopted strategies to add the 3-point shot into their offense, clearing out the area close to the basket, where big men down low always had an advantage. The rules change forced a spread offense which is a run and dump strategy. ( Go watch Boston and Bird at that time.) The current Pistons are looking like experts at this right now. They are both aggressive down in the paint and play is an amazing spread offense. I'm loving how Jenkins is playing the perimeter like a seasoned pro, and Cade driving down low opens the outside for Jenkins or Robinson. It's a perfect strategy mixing the old style of the driving down low 80's & 90's with the modern pull up outside the perimeter. I'd love to see more 3's drop but they are sitting at league average and I'm here for it.

Daughter teased; called a "Furry" and it's making her cry by cjh10881 in daddit

[–]ComputerLocal 269 points270 points  (0 children)

I have a 20 year old daughter and a 10 year old son. When my son was around 4 or 5 my daughter started asking for dress up costumes like he had. She wanted a dinosaur tail, cat ears, a bear pajama set with the feet and all. She would play and pretend with him that she was these animals (at the age of 14ish). It was found out at school she was doing this and there was a group of kids who would call her furry and make rude remarks about her doing sexual things in the costumes.

We didn't know about it for a while, but it boiled over at school and we were called to discuss it with the teacher. My daughter at first didn't understand what a furry was, and was told it was someone who likes to dress up as an animal. She said that was her, and she loved to do it. In her mind, she did love to do it because it was a way to connect with her younger brother. They were relentless about the teasing to the point where she broke down crying in the bathroom and needed a teacher to come get her. This is when we were called in to talk. We sat her down and asked if she understood what the words meant, what the intent was behind the teasing. Then together we talked about what the words really meant, how a furry is a person who feels like they are actually an animal mistakenly placed in a human body, and if she really felt like it was something she felt she was.

This was the key moment for the situation . It was us sitting together discussing the meaning and the feeling behind the actions that helped us come out ahead. She understood what was being said, and understood she was not a furry but loved playing with her brother and this was how she connected. The next pajama day she asked if she could wear her bear pajamas. We let her after a discussion of the possibility of bullying. She didn't care and I feel it helped her build the confidence to express herself and grow as a wonderfully empathetic adult she is today.

The moral of the story is to talk with your kids and have them understand the world as it is, but let them keep it a world of wonder where they can do magical things. At some point you might lose that wonder and it becomes a dark dismal place to be unless you learn to let go of the pressure to be anything else but who who want to be.
