Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live a life behind bars? TV shows and movies make it seem like it’s nothing but sitting in a cell, going to the cafeteria for meals and then some outdoor time an hour a day. Other programs glamorize it, making it seem like living the prison life is much, much easier than other shows portray it to be. In reality, these are human beings who have been put away for whatever reason, and NO, it does not automatically mean they are terrible people. Sure, they had to have committed a crime to land themselves there, but oftentimes, prisoners and convicts are normal people who simply made a mistake and regret it every day during their sentence.

Prisoners are real people, not actors or celebrities. They are mothers and fathers, artists and intellectuals, and above all, they are human. Living life behind bars can get extremely lonely, especially if you are confined between the prison walls for years at a time. One thing that prisoners can look forward to is their occasional letters they receive in the mail from a pen pal!

A lot of prisoners’ families simply push their incarcerated loved one out of their heads, leaving them high and dry with no one to interact with in the outside world. You can certainly brighten a prisoner’s day by sending them a letter or interacting with them through one of these best prison dating websites we will get to in just a bit!

Don't F with me cause I'm the baddest man/woman in the world...

The United States has a lengthy history of racial discrimination in various aspects of life including education, employment, housing, public accommodations and other areas; the Supreme Court has dealt with the issue in numerous cases. Below is a list of U.S. Supreme Court cases involving race discrimination and the rights of members of racial groups, including links to the full text of the U.S. Supreme Court decisions.

While news reports and social media have perpetuated the idea that anti-Asian violence is committed mostly by people of color, a new analysis shows the majority of attackers are white.

The Jedi mind trick they played on people with no critical thinking skills, I hope you feel as stupid as this narrative is. I never fell for the "stop Asian hate" BS, it's was a money grab and a pole position to become the honorary white protected class. They've been working to get that title for decades, first, it was the "model minority" title, now they are considered white. As long as they practice Anit-Blackness they will hold that title.

I don't think there is anything in this life that can soften a blow to you in the way that losing a loved one can. It is so traumatic and of course we have all been there. When another human being say that you are not able to be loved anymore by them. I could lose all my money and be bankrupt but I know that I will make all that back. If your SO walks away, there is literally nothing you can do. Final. I hate finality in this life.

But this post was to focus on how people express their loss. You can hear the pain in poem and song. This isn't necessarily about the music but the agony that a human can express when their world comes crashing down. We are some very complicated creatures.

So I just read an article from the New York post talking about how they've trained dogs to sniff out stupid-19 aka the virus....I believe they will first start using this on us first since alot of us are not hip to the jab....tell me what y'all think??

• New York Mayor Eric Adams has tapped his brother for a high-level job in the NYPD, per the New York Post.
• The role comes with a salary of around $240,000, according to reports.
• A government watchdog group has said the appointment could violate New York City Charter's conflict of interest rules.

New York Mayor Eric Adams has tapped his brother for a high-level job in the New York City Police Department (NYPD), raising questions regarding potential conflicts of interest, according to reports.

dusty niggas doing dusty nigga shit.
I smell a scandal on the horizon, they are going to ax this fo0ls career if he keeps doing stuff like this.

As they do in Politics, they also do in sports and entertainment. These Sportsheads and coaches keep talking about how difficult the it would be on teams and bowl games. If anything the first set of playoff games has shown us the that the sponsors will adjust. The proposed format will be a 12 team format, I think 1 and 2 seeds would get a bye.
*The only issue they have is with the SEC not being able to get double seeding currently and during the BCS years*. This proposed playoff format should include Power5 and GroupOf5 Champions ONLY as well as Independent teams with 1 loss, double-seeding selection should only be determined by the conference directors on an annual rotation basis for all 10 conferences.

I saw they released one last year, the S20 FE and now they recently released another, the S21 FE.

I was comparing their specs on GSM and I can't tell if it is actually worth the money. Like the S20 FE at the time seemed like it was a solid deal but the S21 FE feels like it is just a scam. Like it is a $450 phone they are selling for $799.

You have one of these phones or know anyone who does?

I am not sure if "micro-farming" is the proper term here but what I mean by this is having a smaller scaled farm. Like you have a garden for fruit and veg, some chickens for eggs, maybe a pig or two you raise up for meat, and a horse if that is your thing.

The more prices seem to be getting out of hand with food, I am really considering it down the road. Like I think I can handle a handful of chickens and a small garden. I don't think I would be able to handle pigs, cows, and horses though.

Have you met any famous people throughout your life?
I have and I know some. Not really huge stars but except 1.
I've met
Michael Spinks
The group "Timex social club"
The real roxanne (Adelaida Martinez)
Portlands own U-Krew, I know these guys from school and the neighborhood. New them before they became a group. (they made it to soul train and MTV) that's about as far as they got.
SIR-MIX-LOT he would always come down to Portland and kick it at the clubs would run into him every now and then. Kool dude.
Evelyn "Champagne" King performed at a club I bounced at.

I think that's about it... Who can you name drop?

If One considers the so-called “Mark of The Beast” is it logical to assume that as phenomenon it is yet to occur , or is it Cyclical and ever occurring in various manifestations ❓I think it possible that this phenomena occurs in a Cyclical manner in many forms, ways & means, manner, or constant evolutions.

If this is true it’s an L for the XBOX Series consoles. Microsoft has ran XBOX as a division into the ground. They went from the GOAT 360 to the overflorified DVR One and now they have the Series console and the S which will bottle neck this gen for them. ]

Phil Spencer has to go.

I was thinking about this. I see so much content online of white women with black men and it seems like they are glamourizing their relationships as it is some sort of status. Like they are almost showing them off like they are a trophy of some kind and it makes me hella uncomfortable. I am all for people dating whoever and I have no issues with mixed-race couples but when I see this kind of behavior, I have to wonder what is going on.

I know there is a fetish thing out there but this doesn't seem the same. It seems something similar to that of a white man having a "trophy wife" who is pretty to look at but dumb as a bag of dirt.

The African Cup of Nations Tournament will be available for broadcast on one of these streaming services soon after scheduling delay. I don't watch soccer consistently enough to care. However, I think it is very impressive to hear or see the most talented athletes in the European Champions League come back and play for their native countries, furthermore finding out AFCON was able to strike a deal with FIBA. I hope this is a wonderful opportunity to for them to elevate the broadcast and tourist cash flow amit the current conditions. I more excited to see the different stadiums and local cities and communities around them, similar to the NFL, NBA, HBCU or NCAA structures. Links below if you get curious about the schedule.

A lot of people I talk to around my age don't. Like they have their wants and needs but no one is making moves to make it happen. Like if you want to buy a house, you have to manage your finances, budget accordingly, and save. You can't just coat by and spend your money carelessly. Curious to see who has a budget here they live by and a financial plan with the future in mind. Share tips on sticking to it as well if you got some.

i have been seeing the ari lennox discussion and the way africans and the black diaspora made fun of her ghana experience. im wondering what yall think of pan africanism in general. is it a dead philosophy?

As some of ya'll know, I live in Snore-Cal and everything up here is topsy turvy. Half the kids in these public schools are playing dress up and doing the whole pronoun game. I've been ruminating a lot on these parents up here (all of em PC). Anyway, the trendy thing up here is these 150,000 dollar millionaires with too much time on their hands doing anything and everything to procreate. Two lesbian couples I know of had to get their brother to provide the swimmers to get that egg poppin. Another neighbor is married to a guy who doesn't want to spread his seed, she went and got someone else's egg and got it ovulated by someone else, then they impanted the egg into this gal. So now this couple is going through the whole process and eventually are going to deliver this kid and raise it as if shares the same DNA as them.

Questions aside about how this will affect the kid later on to find out their uncle is really their dad, or their parents aren't really their parents; I often wonder sometimes when kids are being their worst if being our offspring is the last barrier to them getting strangled for their behavior. People say that you can love someone you raise as your own like your own, but I think that's bull. Half the reason I don't hit my kid is because he looks just like me. And he has done some crazy stuff to push my buttons. I didn't realize how much patience I had until I had a kid. But I don't think its an accident that there are so many horror stories around kids (2-3 years old) being fatally beaten. If you can't manage your own emotions you can find yourself saying some stuff you know you shouldn't be saying to a child. Not everyone should have kids, and sometimes nature has a way of telling us that. But all those mornings of getting up at 2, 3 in the mornign to get a bottle or whatever felt like a biological obligation. I'm probably alone, but I know if there were no DNA shared between me and my son......things would be a lot different as far as how I treated him. I would be fair, but I wouldn't love him the same. Am I bugging?

I was playing both Ghost of Tsushima and Assassin’s Creed Origins and thinking about how they felt so archaic when compared to Breath of the Wild. The open world in a lot of these AAA games are simply backdrops that connect Mission 1 to Mission 2. Devs add collectibles and fetch quests to these areas to make them seem apart of the game but in the end the open world never evolves beyond a big level select screen.

BOTW flipped this and made the open world apart of the mission. For one, instead of sprinkling the map with a ton of icons/quests, they gave you the icons and let you highlight what was important to you on the map. Secondly, the open world had a tangible impact on your ability to accomplish your tasks.

• Can’t just take your favorite metal sword and shield to the tropical area if it’s thundering, you’ll be electrocuted.
• Can’t just wear your favorite tunic in 30 below weather, you’ll freeze.
• You’re not just gonna climb that rock all Willy Nilly in the rain, you’ll slip.
• You can’t just swim that large body of water, you don’t have enough stamina and die.
• Can’t just start a fire to cook because it’s raining.

You constantly had to think about how to get from point A to B, it challenged you and made you be creative. All the shrines, divine beasts, and etc all felt like they took place within this same interconnected world governed by the same physics. The mission and the open world were in a lot of ways imperceivable, it was a dope experience.

Other “open world" games hardly feel like "open world" in 99% of cases.

They’re just a linear game that has a "free play" mode in between missions. What you do during "free play" is just for your own enjoyment and has no long term impact. Buildings you destroy will be rebuilt, police will respawn, etc.

Watch the videos below…they compare BOTW to Horizon Zero Dawn.

On HZD see how a rock doesn’t even slide down the mountain in the more realistic looking art style? Or how if I shoot an arrow in BOTW it’ll actually arc and land somewhere and I can pick it up...can’t do that in HZD. Or how if I shoot a fire arrow into grass in BOTW it starts a fire, in HZD it does nothing. Or if I hit a tree with a sword in BOTW it destroys the tree, in HZD the tree is unaffected.

BOTW is a master class in gaming. No other open world games gets even close to it…not even tired ass GTA V and its crap missions.

Big news as the number of worker coops rise at a starting wage of 20 dollars the capitalist system wont be able to compete, people have lost total faith in the top down white system. Its going to be interesting to see how many black people go this way. This was how alot of black people did well after slavery. Hoping Canadas next ^^

Does anyone on here watch these coons? They clearly have a white fanbase they are catering to if they feel comfortable talking like this. Not only are they absolute cornballs who have no game, they are overly emotional coon losers.

The entire Black Manosphere is crap to me.

The original JPEG specification published in 1992 implements processes from various earlier research papers and patents cited by the CCITT (now ITU-T) and Joint Photographic Experts Group.[1] The main basis for JPEG's lossy compression algorithm is the discrete cosine transform (DCT),[1][13] which was first proposed by Nasir Ahmed as an image compression technique in 1972.[7][13] Ahmed developed a practical DCT algorithm with T. Natarajan of Kansas State University and K. R. Rao of the University of Texas in 1973.[7] Their seminal 1974 paper[14] is cited in the JPEG specification, along with several later research papers that did further work on DCT, including a 1977 paper by Wen-Hsiung Chen, C.H. Smith and S.C. Fralick that described a fast DCT algorithm,[1][15] as well as a 1978 paper by N.J. Narasinha and S.C. Fralick, and a 1984 paper by B.G. Lee.[1] The specification also cites a 1984 paper by Wen-Hsiung Chen and W.K. Pratt as an influence on its quantization algorithm,[1][16] and David A. Huffman's 1952 paper for its Huffman coding algorithm.[1]

"JPEG" stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group, the name of the committee that created the JPEG standard and also other still picture coding standards. The "Joint" stood for ISO TC97 WG8 and CCITT SGVIII. Founded in 1986, the group developed the JPEG standard during the late 1980s. Among several transform coding techniques they examined, they selected the discrete cosine transform (DCT), as it was by far the most efficient practical compression technique. The group published the JPEG standard in 1992.[4]

In 1987, ISO TC 97 became ISO/IEC JTC1 and, in 1992, CCITT became ITU-T. Currently on the JTC1 side, JPEG is one of two sub-groups of ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1, Subcommittee 29, Working Group 1 (ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29/WG 1) – titled as Coding of still pictures.[18][19][20] On the ITU-T side, ITU-T SG16 is the respective body. The original JPEG Group was organized in 1986,[21] issuing the first JPEG standard in 1992, which was approved in September 1992 as ITU-T Recommendation T.81[22] and, in 1994, as ISO/IEC 10918-1.

The JPEG standard specifies the codec, which defines how an image is compressed into a stream of bytes and decompressed back into an image, but not the file format used to contain that stream.[23] The Exif and JFIF standards define the commonly used file formats for interchange of JPEG-compressed images.

JPEG standards are formally named as Information technology – Digital compression and coding of continuous-tone still images. ISO/IEC 10918 consists of the following parts:
