Hay everyone, It’s Sofia again! You all might remember me from a few months back, when you sent my son Harrison cards for his birthday. It was such a fabulous experience, he absolutely loved it. As I mentioned back then, we framed all the cards into this HUGE COLLAGE! Sure, maybe he won’t remember his 2nd birthday, but all these cards are a daily reminder. It hangs above his bed, and anyone that sees it is always excited to hear my Reddit story and how these cards are from strangers!
Well, I’ve got a second little guy named Oliver. His FIRST birthday is October 2nd. I would love to be able to make him his own birthday card collage to hang over his bed. His wall is so empty looking compared to Harrison’s, and I’d love to change that!
I hope you all help me make 2020 the year of Reddit birthday card bonanzas!
I would totally post my address here, but I know it’s against the rules. Please PM me and I’ll send it to you, we’re in the US! A lot of your cards last time didn’t have return addresses on them, if you include it, Oliver will totally send you a scribbled thank you note in return!

... keep reading on reddit ➡Hello fellow Dexter fans. I’m going to attempt to explain why this finale was actually very befitting of our favorite serial killer. Please hear me out because this is going to be a long one!
Harrison is Dexter’s white buck. The white buck, whether he knows it or not, has always been a representation of Harrison, to Dexter; a thing of beauty and true innocence. Dex spent a long time chasing his deer and using it to practice abstinence; to maintain control. It kept him grounded. It kept him good. It was poetic to see Dexter, after all his conditioning, take his final hike to meet his white buck. In their final encounter, a sacrifice had to be made. He would seek retribution for the death of his white buck, and in that final moment, he would surrender himself to honor his white buck; he would die so that his son could live. (Edit: As someone pointed out, and I agree, the white buck ALSO symbolizes Dexter’s commitment to abstinence)
“Why did he flee? They didn’t have enough evidence for a conviction and why was Batista involved?”
You can physically see the moment, on screen, where Dexter’s strategy begins to change from overcoming the legal charges, to escape by any means necessary. This was when Angela presented him with the pattern, directly related to the BHB killings. Dexter was directly investigated for the BHB murders by James Doakes AND María LaGuerta. LaGuerta even arrested Dexter. Batista always had his doubts about Doakes being the BHB and he supposedly killed himself before anyone could ever get the full story. Batista personally defended Dexter from LaGuerta’s crusade, and then she was presumably killed by Estrada, also conveniently found dead with LaGuerta’s body, the same man who was involved in the murder of Lara Moser, Dexter’s mother. Batista had a relatively close relationship with Dexter, so for him to have survived the storm, re-establish somewhere else, and not reach out is suspicious enough. Let’s not forget that Dexter’s late wife, Rita, was killed by Trinity despite not fitting his pattern, while Trinity himself, who is also missing, does meet the BHB’s motives. Let’s look at the facts regarding New Blood from law enforcement perspective.
They know at this point that Kurt is almost certainly the one who burned down Dexter’s cabin. Matt is most likely dead, given the titanium screws. That creates motive for Kurt to target Dexter. Angela received the incriminating letter and found one of the screws in the ashes of Dexter’s home

... keep reading on reddit ➡Hey everyone, I really want the Giants to bring in Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll for Buffalo to be GM and HC. I'd love to hear some opinions, so tell me what you think of my reasoning and let me know if you think I'm off the mark or if you think the Giants should go in another direction.
My reasoning for Joe Schoen
Brandon Beane was hired as GM in Buffalo in 2017 and brought Schoen along with him to be the Assistant GM. The Bills hadn't made the playoffs or won more than nine games since 1999 — 17 straight seasons — but in the first year with new management, Buffalo went 9-7 and made the playoffs. After a 6-10 showing in 2018, the Bills went on to win 10, 13 and 11 games in the past three seasons, respectively, and it doesn't look like their run is going to stop anytime soon. A large reason for the success is obviously due to talent evaluation, and some impactful players Buffalo has drafted since Schoen has been in the building include, but are not limited to…
2018
QB Josh Allen (2018, Rd. 1)
LB Tremaine Edmunds (2018, Rd. 1)
DT Harrison Phillips (2018, Rd. 3)
CB Taron Johnson (2018, Rd. 4)
OG Wyatt Teller (2018, Rd. 5)
WR Ray-Ray McCloud (2018, Rd. 6)
2019
DL Ed Oliver (2019, Rd. 1)
RB Devin Singletary (2019, Rd. 3)
TE Dawson Knox (2019, Rd. 3)
2020
DL Gregory Rousseau (2020, Rd. 1)
DL Carlos Basham (2020, Rd. 2)
OL Spencer Brown (2020, Rd. 3)
This front office has knocked drafting out of the park, especially selections at the top of the draft. I don't see a miss in about the first three rounds. Beane has spoken highly of Schoen in the past, conceding the fact how he expects to lose him one day because he is likely to become a GM himself sooner or later.
The bottom line here is Buffalo's front office has done an amazing job turning that franchise into something awesome, and Schoen seems to be a big reason for that.
My reasoning for Brian Daboll
Based on John Mara's statement and reports from people covering the team, it sounds as if ownership is going to allow the new GM to pick the new HC, which is great. Schoen and Daboll both work in Buffalo, so it's safe to assume they at least have some sort of relationship with one another, potentially raising the chances Schoen would select Daboll to be his guy.
Daboll went to Buffalo and has had Josh Allen on the roster since he arrived. Things weren't great in Allen's first year (2,074 passing yards, 52.8% completion, 10 passing TDs, 12 INTs in 12 appearances), but he impro
... keep reading on reddit ➡What's crazy in the whole conversation about Mexican drug cartels is the lack of deserved emphasis on US government involvement in the formation of drug trafficking networks that established what we know as the Mexican Cartels. This is what led to the violence in Mexico today with Mexican cities taking up all top five spots in the rank of cities with highest murder rate in the world where they are not officially at war.
Where do we even begin? US government involvement in Mexican affairs goes far back most notably following the 1911 Mexican Revolution with the right wing coup d'état and assassination of the democratically elected Mexican President Francisco Madero in 1913 with the support of US ambassador to Mexico Henry Lane Wilson. But we don't have to go that far.
Let's start off in July 2, 1975 with the arrest by Mexican police of Alberto Sicilia Falcon who was then the world leader in cocaine and marijuana trafficking earning $3.6 million a week, which was really big back then. Apparently he wasn't Mexican, but rather Cuban. He told his interrogators that he was trained in Fort Jackson in a secret war against Fidel Castro helping move weapons to certain groups in Central America in exchange for his movement of drugs. Funny enough, Falcon would escape from Lecumberri prison in 1976 in much the same way and with as much fanfare as Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán 40 years later - through a lit tunnel from his cell. Too bad Falcon was captured three days later and was transferred to a maximum security prison known as Las Palmas till 1999. It's been reported somewhere in the interwebs that he died of a stroke in 2011.
So what happened after Falcon was arrested? He was reported to have been able to manage his drug empire from prison, but I'm sure it wouldn't be as effective as much as if he was free. So who filled his position? Well let's examine the time period. This is 1975. Prior to this, Mexico wasn't as relevant in the international drug trade as she would later become. It was the "French Connection" that dominated the drug domain with Corsican and Sicilian mafias running heroin from Indochina and Turkey to be processed in Marseilles and transshipped via Canada. This network formed around World War II following US intelligence recruiting of American Mafia figures. It started with Operation Underworld where Naval Intelligence recruited the likes of Charles "Lucky" Luciano to protect the American northeastern seaboards from Nazi sabotage. His contacts also

... keep reading on reddit ➡Hello fellow name nerds! My husband and I recently started trying to have our first child. Every time we discuss names, I always have a hard time putting our names with our last name. We have a one syllable last name that starts with D. Ironically, both of our first names are 3 syllables and I think they sound good with the our shorter last name.
Neither of us have many names that are “no go’s” for us, so we would love some help starting our name list and any input y’all might have with pairing first names with short last names.
Thank you in advance for the suggestions! ❤️
