    Have you ever dated someone who turned out to be crazy?

    A lot of people put on a front where they appear to be everything you want in a partner. Like they actually do it without even realizing it. I witnessed it a few times firsthand. The issue with this though is that you end up committed to a person who is nothing like they were when you first met...

    You think the mental health crisis will ever be addressed?

    I see so many struggles with families, it is insane. From depression to anxiety, even cases of bipolar and schizophrenia are on the rise. Then you have medical mental decline in dementia and Alzymer's. That is projected to go up 50% by 2050. Those are some scary high numbers! Seems like no one...

    Do you think we'll be made to wear masks forever?

    It is spreading but no one is dying from it which is what should be the most important thing. Like I hate when people make it about politics. We should be focused on health and if the death numbers are going down, it is good for everyone.

    Ideal companion as far as pets go?

    Most people I know are dog people. I like dogs but only certain breeds and I am fussy with them. Like I tend to only like my own. I have a German Shepherd. A friend of mine breeds them so he sold me a pup a few years ago for half price. He is a good dog. I have actually been partial to cats...

    Any good podcast recommendations?

    Not really into these at the moment. The only one I will occasionally tune into is Timcast but that is mostly political and cultural issues. I know not everyone wants to listen to that stuff. They have some pretty solid guests though which is the main reason I will tune in now and then.

    How many of y’all only use credit cards?

    When I was younger, I ended up with some debt because I lost my job. My credit score got fisted because of it so since then, I haven't used credit. I got my score up by having a monthly cable bill, car bill, and phone bill. It took a lot longer than had I just went back to cards but I feel more...

    Income tax was only meant for the rich, so what happened?

    Yeah, the inflation doesn't match either. Like the only way, this makes any logical sense is they are legit robbing the poor to feed the rich. Like if you look at a lot of the legislation passed from the '70s up until now, it is heavily rooted in fascism of all things. It is almost as if the...

    Do you think we'll be made to wear masks forever?

    In Japan, anytime you are sick and have to go into a public space, you wear a mask out of common courtesy. I see nothing wrong with this. This is actually the right way to go about using masks. I know people can be sick for a few days before they show symptoms so washing your hands is important...

    Anyone here invest in Crypto? How long have you invested for?

    I have a few investments in crypto. I kind of just bought it and sat on it. One of them went bust and I lost everything but I only invested like $50 so it wasn't that big of a deal. I am still learning this though so I am not sure if I will invest more or get more into stocks. Those seem to be...

    What brands do you like in terms of clothing?

    This is true but a lot of stores do this. They pretend you are getting a better deal than you actually are. Like I know the stuff I like goes on sale often so I just shop around sales and promotions. It is shady but once you learn how a store does this, you can work around it.

    How do you feel about online dating through apps?

    I feel like what was once useful is more a less just about booty calls and one-night-stands these days. I don't know anyone who uses dating apps around my age for serious relationships. They use them just when they feel like getting some and it is convenient I guess. This seems to be more the...

    Best decade for hip-hop and r&b?

    I wanted to make a poll on here for this to see what people think. Because I feel the vibe switches every 5 years with music, I wanted to have both the standard decades and the break points. For me, I feel the best era/decade for hip-hop and r&b was 1995 to 2005. I feel like things have gone...

    White liberals being the voice of black people needs to stop!

    I have heard some of his stuff and he was right, just a shame not more people listened. Like at least with some folks, you can see them for what they are but these people.. They are just wolves in sheep's clothing. Whether they are being manipulated or not, they refuse to see the damages they...

    Has the pandemic changed how you view people?

    They just want to keep us in boxes and fighting each other. Social media is so damn toxic it is depressing at this point.

    Income tax was only meant for the rich, so what happened?

    When the income tax was first proposed, it was meant to be for the top % of earners in the US. They were going to "tax the rich" and told everyone else not to worry. Only the super-wealthy would be giving 2 or 3% of their earnings. Then we had a war. Suddenly, they had to tax more to supply it...

    White liberals being the voice of black people needs to stop!

    When all the riots and stuff were going down, I remember seeing a video of two black women yelling at two or three white women wearing all black. They were spraypainting BLM on the side of a Starbucks and they were yelling at them to stop because they don't want them to be blamed for it. The one...

    Do you expect your woman to submit to mediocrity?

    They set the trap and blamed everyone for falling for it. At one point in the US, black folks had better marital stats (successful marriages) than whites as well. WTF happened there? The government is what happened. I don't know where they get at with this crap either. Like yeah sure you are...

    What brands do you like in terms of clothing?

    Old Navy has some good shirts. Even dress pants. I have gotten a number of things from them in the last few years and I am impressed. They have cheaper stuff but the quality is impressive.

    Favorite MMA fighter, lets gooo!!!!!

    When he was still in action, Quinton Jackson was the dude I always had to watch. It has been a while since I watched MMA though. I am not sure who is worth watching. I should get back into it. I am not sure why I stopped following it. Was probably around the time I was working two jobs, just...

    What's your deal breaker in a relationship?

    Drug use and excessive drinking. I can't deal with that stuff. I have been around both and dated both and it never ends well. I was with someone who actually was stealing from me. It just isn't worth it.
