Madden NFL is not what it once was. Back in the early 2000s, I'd say was the peak of Madden NFL games. From maybe 2003-2007, EA had a decent go at making great football games. But after they got the NFL license, I think they started to take it easier and easier with each new release. I swear, the animations in the newer Madden games often look the same as they were 10+ years ago. The same with the presentation being almost non-existent. Why do people still keep spending money on these games? EA doesn't care about making a great football games anymore, all they care about is drawing as much money out of us as they can by utilizing their Ultimate Team mode.

I wish we got to see competitors to the football scene again. I'm tired of the same Madden game every year. Who would you like to take over for EA if they ever lost the license?

I'm going to go back to NFL 2K5.

Have you guys ever witnessed anything disturbing while using social media? I've heard of stories where people did live streams of murders, shootings, and other disturbing events that happen all the time in this country. But social media you usually don't see it make it through. I've also heard how moderators on Facebook have to skim through posts that include gore, nudity, porn, cp, dead bodies, murders, animal abuse/murder etc that they then have to take down and report. I couldn't do a job like that. I have pretty thick skin and can handle seeing some f'd up shit, but the shit those mods have to sift through, it's gotta be taxing on their mental health.

Vice did an interview with someone who worked as a mod for Facebook. He discusses what he witnessed on the site.

I randomly get recommended stuff all the time on YouTube and this was something that was recommended to me. I put it on when I was doing some cleaning in my office and I thought it was worth sharing. I have heard of this before but never from a black man with real-world experience. Give it a listen and let me know what you all think.

Bank of America said it is now offering first-time homebuyers in a select group of cities zero down payment, zero closing cost mortgages to help grow homeownership among Black and Hispanic/Latino communities.

The option will first become available in certain neighborhoods in Charlotte, Dallas, Detroit, Los Angeles and Miami. The new mortgage, called the Community Affordable Loan Solution, aims to help eligible individuals and families obtain an affordable loan to purchase a home, the bank said.

Have you guys played around with the AI generators that create images based off of prompts you make? One of them that I know of is the DALL-E Mini, where you write a prompt, like, lets say "A high definition image of The Rock wrestling with Danny Devito" and you'd get the image attached below.

Here are some sites if you want to give it a try. Feel free to share your creations as well.

They also have a newer version here:

If you were in a situation that could save a racists life, would you?
If a known Racist cop was in a life or death situation and your intervention would prevent his death, would you intervene?
Or a KKK member, skinhead, alt-right ect.

I don't know if you all have heard about this guy, but there's been a lot more allegations about Dan Schneider, who previously worked for Nickelodeon as a showrunner for many of its popular shows. I used to watch a lot of Nickelodeon as a kid, stuff he did like All That, and Keenan and Kel, and a few others I'm probably forgetting. I'm also aware he pretty much made most of the shows during the early 2000s to the 2010s or so.

Anyway, supposedly this dude was all about sexualizing his female stars, had a thing for their feet and was an asshole on set.
Jennette McCurdy recently released a book where she mentioned the "Creator" of one of her shows as a predator pretty much. She didn't name him, but it's heavily implied to be Schneider. He created both shows she starred on, so I don't think it'd be anyone else.

As a side note, I guess Nickelodeon offered her $300,000 in hush money. I think she took that deal, as that's why she doesn't list his name. There's a lot more down this rabbit hole. There's many weird stories about how this dude was creepy to his female cast and crew.

This day and age you can't say anything offensive without the internet jumping on your ass. Most people can freely say dumb shit and get away with it, but if you're someone who's famous and in the spotlight, your chances of privacy disappear pretty much. Whatever you say on the internet, is there forever pretty much.

Which brings me to cancel culture and how if you say certain things, you could potentially see your career die on the spot. But, I think there are some people who should be able to say offensive things and get away with it, like comedians for example. I wouldn't fret if Dave Chappelle said something offensive, because he usually has a joke around it. But the thing with social media, is that it's difficult to differentiate comedy from an attack. At least in written form. It's easier to tell what a joke is if you see it live for example. But a tweet for example can be looked at differently because there is no performance attached to it.

Anyway, I hate the idea of cancel culture and people who are all for it. Especially when they use their time and efforts to "cancel" a comedian or something. I'd understand if some politician said some hateful shit, but he/she is also not a comedian so it's a lot more understandable when they are cancelled.

How do you feel about cancel culture?

There are roughly 20 teams giving money to foundations that help fund little boys and girls getting sex changes.

Among them, the teams pushing this the most and funding it the most include:

Detroit Tigers
Boston Red Sox
Milwaukee Brewers
Tampa Bay Rays
Cleveland Guardians

They were raising funds through "pride nights" back in June as well as holding other fundraisers for this nonsense.


I don't know if any of ya'll watch baseball but if I did and found out my team was funding this, I would be PISSED.

Chris Rock is under fire for joking about the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson in relation to his altercation with Will Smith at the Oscars earlier this year.

During the Phoenix, Arizona, leg of his stand-up tour over the weekend, Rock revealed that the Academy had approached him to host the Oscars next year, which he declined. The Academy declined to comment when approached by The Independent.

Rock told his audience that returning to the awards ceremony would be like asking Nicole Brown Simpson “to go back to the restaurant”.

Brown Simpson was murdered after leaving her glasses at a restaurant in 1995. Both she and 25-year-old restaurant waiter Ron Goldman were found stabbed to death outside her home in Brentwood, Los Angeles.

Her ex-husband, former professional American football player OJ Simpson, was accused of both killings but later acquitted of all charges. In a civil lawsuit in 1997, he was found liable for both deaths and paid $33.5 million in damages to the Goldmans.

After news of Rock’s Oscars refusal was picked up by news outlets, many took issue with his joke about Brown Simpson’s death.

“The more Chris Rock talks, the more you begin to see why Will Smith smacked fire outta him,” one tweet with 16,000 likes read.

Now I am the type of person to look at what he says and does and say "he is a comedian, that is his job" but a lot of people are losing it over this.

I want to see what you all think about this. I have always liked Chris Rock and think that people these days have shifted. It used to be those white, middle-class soccer moms complaining about comedians and saying they are offended but now it is rich and wealthy white women complaining.

I'm not talking your white homey who had your back like a chiropractor. I'm talking about famous people, or people with a 'name'.

I'll break it down into a couple categories.
1. proven white allies
2. probably white allies but you are not 100% sure. Pretty sure, but not 100% sure.

Hello everyone on here.

I wanted to say that I wrote a book that's on sale at lulu.com that talks about my experiences from when I was young, to me moving to the Bay Area when I was 19, to all the stuff that I encountered while living in the Bay Area. A long time ago, a friend of mine on YouTube made a video review regarding my book. I would like to share it with everybody on here. If you like it, you can buy the book at lulu.com .

I don’t think this is a good matchup. I’ll look for a stream. What are your thoughts?

The Life Of Pablo but it’s just my voice (Spectre’s Version) [Features in description]

This is more of a curious question, it has nothing to do with my life haha as I'm currently single, but I have met other men who've been in relationships where they watched porn and it didn't cause any issues with the relationship. But in that case the couple were both into it. What if your significant other is also watching porn, does that worry you at all?

I have friends who have lost relationships because they were caught watching porn, of course, multiple times, but it resulted in the end of their relationship.

With that being said, do you think it's cheating for someone to watch porn while being in a relationship? I mean, if it becomes a situation where the relationship is strained because of it. Like, maybe they're not having sex anymore, or their intimacy isn't the same as it once was because one of them may be addicted to porn or something.

What are your thoughts on this?

I'm probably going to have to lose some weight soon, as I'm probably due for that. I keep hearing from a friend that I should try fasting to kind of push my body into a rhythm to help with weight loss. I honestly don't know if I can handle fasting for a long period of time. I would give it a try, but I know if I don't eat for a certain amount of days, I'm going to get the cravings and get food.

Does fasting work? Has it worked for you? What are your recommendations for starting out?
