    Dave Chappelle Lambasted By GLAAD For “Ridiculing” Trans & LGBTQ+ Communities In New Netflix Special

    Dave Chappelle <3 These haters can go have a dildo fight somewhere else. He has been saying it like it was for years. They are only mad now because it is socially acceptable to be mad. They can't laugh at themselves and have no backbones. I know plenty of fans of his who are gay, bi, etc. and...

    216k minors sexually abused by French Catholic church

    Surprised? I am not. Pedophiles like to hide behind religion and social groups to get their hands on kids. They do it in the Catholic church, Muslim social circles, and even in the LGBT. They are legit predators who look for an opportunity anywhere they can find it.

    The 1960s - Over 40% of black families owned their own businesses, what happened?

    I think forced diversity is the biggest load of BS this country has ever been fed. I think it is fine when it happens naturally and gradually but forcing it? That is never good for anyone. If people want to live among their own kind be it through skin color, culture, wealth, or religion is...

    love at first sight

    Yup. That is all chemicals and hormones. I mean it is natural to be stimulated by someone you find physically attractive and to have an attachment on the physical level form. Just can't confuse it with the real deal. Exactly! Love is not unstable and comes and goes, love is a solid foundation.

    Anyone have any experience with moving?

    Thanks for the tips so far, keep them coming! I already got some of those plastic bins (18 gal) from Walmart. I think I paid like $45 for 8 of them. Figured I could use those in place of boxes and have them for storage after the fact instead of buying boxes that will just be thrown away. I am...

    Loveless Marriages

    Love is needed but romance is not. I am all for romantic gestures and getting surprises from my man but I value security, trust, and respect more than romance. I always felt real love was a choice and a commitment in and of itself. So long as both people are holding up their ends of the marriage...

    Anyone have any experience with moving?

    I mentioned before that I am hoping to get my own spot and put money down on a house next year. I have been looking into options and talking to some real estate people. I don't have a lot of stuff but looking around, I feel like I am going to be so overwhelmed when I move. Does anyone have...

    Whelp

    I am still waiting on those ocean trains. That would impress me more. This is cool but I worry what damages will result in the first 5 to 10 years of launching these. Just have to hope there are smart people operating them I guess.

    Twitter?

    I closed my account in 2019. If they ever give me a reason to go back, I will put it here but as of now, I have no social media home outside of forums like this one.

    Do you do anything on/for Halloween?

    Let me know if you end up getting anything and it is good. I like to keep track of sellers on places like that who do a good job so I can recommend them to other people.

    Being friends first?

    The point was saying that a relationship built on lust that has no friendship will never last. I have a friend who is married and she always says she married her best friend. You can see the friendship is real with them. They are completely bonded on all levels so nothing and no one can break them.

    Pandora Papers

    I am all for taxes that support on a state level. Like to help those who can't work, funding that goes to fixing public spaces, funding police and firefighters, to fund public schools... But all too often do I see people get taxed and live in crappy areas where there is little to no funding...

    Black Success & Uplifting Stories

    I thought this would be a good thread to have. A way to share news stories and talk about people who have done some pretty amazing things. I am ashamed to say I am only just hearing about the work of Mashudu Tshifularo. I want to start with him for this thread. You can read more about him...

    Do you do anything on/for Halloween?

    Check on etsy. I have a few friends who only get their costumes on there. There are some great designers and costume makers on the platform. You pay more but you get some solid costumes out of it. If I dressed up, that is where I would shop. I don't have the skills to make my own.

    Pandora Papers

    They want to have control so they don't have to order us to do what they want by force. A lot of people, out of fear, will follow their orders willingly when they realize they won't have access to food, water, shelter, or electricity. Heck, the internet is probably enough for some people to just...

    Ladies, If you could only have one out of a man, what would it be: Excitement or Consistency?

    Same! I am all for being lead but I want a leader who can allow me to flourish with my guard down and not have to worry. I was with a guy who had me acting like a crazy person in the past. I just couldn't trust him so both of us ended up unhappy.

    Being friends first?

    That is basically what I mean here. You don't put sexual stuff on the table. You keep the romance and everything under lock until you get to know each other more and care for each other without it altering your perception. We often will get gaslighted by our own self-will because the romance...

    Being friends first?

    I always liked the concept of being friends with someone first before dating them. It establishes a bond without the entanglements of lust, romance, and infatuation. It doesn't come easy though. Most of the time, you will know if you are interested in making something more or not right away and...

    Are you giving your man what he needs and wants or are you giving him what YOU think he needs and wants?

    In my experience, I'd like to say I know what they need but I really don't have a clue. I am not a man. I just know what I should focus on as a woman to have a stable relationship. Assuming I am with the right man, me being loyal, affectionate, caring, and willing to make his home life the best...

    love at first sight

    I believe in lust at first sight. I think lust plays a heavy role in the start of any relationship but lust comes and goes. I like the concept of there being different types of love but the ultimate form of love is a choice. A choice to be with someone, care for them and have their back. The...
