Struggling to date due to job

I’m a male in his 40s who has been single for a while after a lengthy divorce with 3 kids. One of the issues I’m having is when I try to date, my occupation seems to be a sticking point for some. I work in law enforcement and I know people have their preconceived notions about the profession but I’ve had more than one person tell me they didn’t think we were compatible because of my job. I don’t know if anyone else on this forum has had this issue but it definitely threw me for a loop. I really don’t want to date within my profession as I’d prefer to have an escape when off duty.

Edit: thank you for the replies! I’m definitely NOT ICE lol I’m surprised by the amount of comments mentioning that

Marvel LEGO city for son

Hi everyone! I’m new learning all the things Lego so I apologize in advance if this post is something that has been asked a million times.

My son is 7 and for the last year and a half he’s went full send into Lego building. He’s amassed a bunch of city sets and marvel sets (some Spider-Man buildings, avengers sets etc) as that’s where his primary interests are. Right now the sets are just sort of scattered about on shelves or he takes things apart to put them away.

We’re moving into a new house next month and one of my goals is to find a table top or low cabinet or something where I can put all these city sets and marvel sets together to be one big city for him to play with. I think it’ll look better and keep things together.

I’ve seen a lot of stuff on Instagram and YouTube, but my ask of you is this: if you’ve ever built one or made something similar what tips/tricks do you have or what do you think someone who is novice like me should know or think about going in? I really appreciate any help with this!

Ps. I know he’s 7 but he’s actually pretty careful and I’m less worried about him destroying them as he plays.

Pension vs TSP in divorce

Hey everyone. I’m in the middle of getting a divorce and am looking at my FERS and TSP. My STBX wants part of my pension but is willing to avoid touching the TSP if I give up the equity in the house (about 95k). My question is, is it more beneficial to negotiate her getting something from the TSP instead of FERS or vice versa. The reason I ask, is that I’m assuming I have a better chance of making up some money with TSP. She just re-entered the work force so I’m guessing she thinks she’ll need the retirement later but she’ll have a retirement and SSI so I’m not sure if there’s something I’m missing.
