I am someone who has always wanted to have kids and a big family in general. I am hoping for a child one day with my girlfriend. Her and I have talked about it, and it's something we may consider down the road. We're still young, so I figure it's pointless to rush things right now. Anyway, during our conversations about having kids, we talked about adoption. Would you ever consider adoption? I think it's kinda great to give a kid a chance at a home.

I doubt we ever will adopt, but that's okay. What about you guys? Would you ever adopt or foster a child?

Years ago I had to go to the hospital because I had a kidney stone. My side was just painful, and felt like muscle pain, but it was constant and wouldn't go away. It also kinda reminded me of growing pains, I have that feeling sometimes. Anyway, for the kidney stone, I had to drink a lot of water, and had to pass it. Surprisingly, it didn't hurt as bad as I thought it would. It was more weird, I felt more like there was pressure when it happened.

I wish kidney stones on no one though. They are a literal pain to deal with. And even though I was lucky and was able to pass it, some people aren't and have to get treatment to break the stone up, or surgery.

Anyway, that's my hospital story. Do you guys have one?

Have you ever dated someone who was crazy in any way? Or maybe they were different, or had weird quirks. I dated this one girl when I was in college. She was awesome in the beginning, but as we started to date more and more, I started to see signs of severe anger. Like she would get mad at the drop of a hat. One night when we were hanging out, we got to talking about life and our future. She mentioned wanting to have kids, and I let it out that I don't know if I'm ready for that. She was visibly mad at this point and started to yell at me.

I wanted to spend my life with her, but her mood swings really messed with me. And I couldn't keep up with her.

If you from Cali’ tell me this ain’t just how them Crip dudes be acting.

I'm going on one in December and I'm so excited but I don't know what to expect. We are going Royal Caribbean to Mexico for 4 nights!!! Quick questions:

• Any advice on what I should pack?
• Is it easy to sneak alcohol onboard?
• Are you able to smoke?
• How are the premium restaurants?

We are going on Navigator of the Seas.

Anyone searching for a home today knows full well the pickings are slim. The supply of U.S. homes for sale is near a record low, and the gap between supply and demand is widening.

The U.S. is short 5.24 million homes, an increase of 1.4 million from the 2019 gap of 3.84 million, according to new research from Realtor.com.

The U.S. Census found that 12.3 million American households were formed from January 2012 to June 2021, but just 7 million new single-family homes were built during that time.

Single-family home construction has suffered from a severe labor shortage that began well before the pandemic but was then exacerbated by it. Supply chain disruptions in the past year have pushed prices for building materials higher, and as pandemic-induced demand soared, prices for land increased as well.

While new household formation is actually slower than it was before the pandemic, homebuilders would have to double their recent new home production pace to close the gap in five to six years. A new household can be either owner-occupied or rented.




I wish there would be a federal investment in housing so that we can reach an equilibrium in supply and demand. This inventory shortage is destroying people in coastal cities. How do you think we can fix it?

If you're reading this, I hope that you are happy, healthy, and having a good day!
Peace & blessings!

I know there are a ton of laws in the books all over the US, that are probably very dated. Like dumb laws that would make absolutely no sense today. I found an article that lists some of the dumbest laws still in effect to this very day. Some of them are quite laughable. My favorite, probably being the one where it's against the law to harass bigfoot in Washington. It's the first one on the list, and hands down is my fave haha.

It's illegal to collect rainwater in Colorado. Some of my other favorites on this list are:

• A pickle is not a pickle unless it bounces - Connecticut
• Chickens are not permitted to cross the road - Georgia (Quitman)
• No false promises allowed - Louisiana
• It is prohibited to frighten a baby - Missouri (Mole)
• Drinking of milk is mandatory - Utah
• it is prohibited to catch a fish using a lasso - Tennessee (Yeeehaww, I caught me a fish with ma lasso I did) lol
• No one shall participate in a duel - Ohio

What are some of your favorites? And what are some other laws not on the list do you think should be changed? Also find the full list of 50 laws below.

A friend of mine has this awesome sister I am very into. We all hang out sometimes, and I think she's hilarious, sexy and smart all rolled into one person. But.... she happens to be one of my best friends sisters. I haven't told my friend about this either, but I've considered asking her out on an official date, but I don't know how my friend would take it. Should I just be flat out honest and ask my friend if he has my blessing to ask her out? Or should I just ask her out without asking him? We're all adults, but still, I feel like I'm kinda stabbing him in the back if I don't at least let him know.

Idk, would you date a friend's sibling?

Do you guys have anything you do as a hobby? I have always liked photography and have gotten more into it lately. I also do some drawing here and there even though I'm not great at it lol

I heard about a college teacher (I believe it was at a college though it may have been a high school) who asked a room full of students, most of which were white, a simple question. He asked if the students were alive in the time period where slavery was acceptable, would they disagree and oppose it. Everyone raised their hands to show they would. He then asked if they would share something about themselves that goes against society's norms and would cause most people to look at them differently, hate them, or completely shun them from society. None of them could do it.

The point he was making is that most people today who believe they would oppose something like this would go along with it because they seek to be acceptable in society. They would not be willing to risk anything for someone else's safety or comfort. They are not free-thinkers but do-as-I-sayers. I reflect with this story heavily on the white liberals in the US who go out of their way for BLM and other black causes, they want to make it known to everyone that they stand for black empowerment but they do so only because it is considered to be socially acceptable (and heavily encouraged) in today's social climate. They are doing it for themselves, not for us.

A group of rats were given an endless supply of food, water, and everything else they needed. They didn’t have to fight for anything. They had their lives made easy. After a few generations of having all their needs met (counteracting their instincts of survival), they started fighting and killing each other, some stopped reproducing, some would groom themselves to perfection, some even became gay. It was declared to be “behavioral sync”. The anxiety and stress they would normally go in and out of was removed so it was bottled up within them and eventually exploded.

One thing to note is that laboratory rats do not inherit information like rats would in the wild. So a baby rat would learn from its mother what to eat, what not to eat, how to survive, what to hide from, and so on. Lab rats are limited in their knowledge of all these things after just a few generations.

I feel like, for a lot of people, this is what life has become. Because life had been made so easy for them (compared to the contrast of the past and how life was all about survival), they started focusing on self-pleasure and nothing more. This is why anxiety, depression, anger issues, violence, boredom, purposelessness, and so on are so rampant among young adults and teens today.

Just some stuff I was thinking about that I wanted to share.

Tech implants like chips under your skin, or maybe robotic parts. I doubt we're close to advanced tech implants yet, but I'm sure we're close to some crazy ideas. I imagine most are chip related currently, and maybe some robotic limbs. Those seem to be becoming more realistic by the day.

Would you ever get a tech implant if it was to help your body in some way? I would love to have robotic eyes, or eyes where I can access the web. That would be awesome. Also, maybe something to do with the ears to heighten my hearing.

What kind of tech would you like to see made?

Post one and tell us why you picked it. You can make multiple post but each post must only have one song. Don't make me get the mods in here:

Not only does this song bring me back to high school. It also reminds me that my relationship is between my man and I and to keep our ups, downs, and strife between us. When you are too vocal about your love then other people think they can chime in on it.

Yo bruhs, if y’all got sons please raise them. This was so creepy and strange.

I feel like they fall into the same rules as nails. If they're not over the top they're fine but at a certain length they're just too much. I don't wear them a lot but when I have, they're always a pain to put on. I don't know how some girls have them in their daily routine lol What do you think?

I have mixed feelings about this. I like that there is some representation and people are seeing who owns what but at the same time, I feel like people are placing targets on businesses based on race. Like if a person of any race is faced with an option to buy from products from companies and businesses that are race-labeled, they are most likely to go with what they identify most with. So in a way, I feel like this is a double-edged sword and it is going to hurt black-owned businesses and companies.

And then I think back in history and this is what the Nazis were doing to Jewish businesses and it really makes me wonder what the agenda is here. Like on the surface, it seems like a good thing but when you look at the entire picture, it seems like there is a dirty motive here. I am already convinced they want to destroy all smaller businesses. They only want big corporations owning and running everything so we will be forced to live under the boot of corps who will bend the knee to big government.
