    How do you get along with the kids of your partner?

    I am dating someone who has a little girl. I shouldn't say dating, we are going on dates and seeing where things go. If we decide to take it further, I will meet her. I have no experience with this. I had never been with a man who already has children. She is on the younger side and her mom is...

    In Memoriam: 2021

    I didn't even realize some of these people died, not the causes. I heard of the few bigger names though when it happened. We will all face judgment one day and you really have to fear for the souls of people in Hollywood. So many of them have done some wicked things.

    What do you tell your KIDS about how to carry themselves in the STREETS NOW? Maybe this story will help wit dat....

    Lead by example. That is the best way to raise them. People make the mistake of the old "do as I say, not as I do" motto and that has a high rate of failure attached to it. Kids become replicas of the people they are around the most. If you start them off right, you set them up for success no...

    What would you spend on a wedding ring?

    Fair. You can't exactly say you better stay a size 6 during our marriage or it is void. Weight goes up and down for women from hormones, having babies, etc. but as I said, health is what matters more or at least should. If you start married at a healthy weight, you can afford to gain 20 or 30...

    What's Happening In Portland?

    Drugs, culture, no funding for repair or education... It all factors in. Most cities will turn to ish in time, they all do but they make sure to protect a small spot of those cities for the rich white people who want the city experience without the drugs, crime, ect.

    Indians Are Mad At Steve Harvey

    That is fair but still. People are overreacting. He was probably being stupid and trying to be funny. This man doesn't always think before he speaks. Fairly certain he established that for himself several times over lol

    What would you spend on a wedding ring?

    Really, a woman should be taking care of her body though, so should the man. They owe that to each other, especially in terms of health. Everything else should be discussed though, expensive ring or not. Like for me, I want to be a homemaker and a stay-at-home mom/wife so I am fine with cooking...

    Unreal Engine 5

    I feel like they are getting to a point where they know they can't alter and control human brains with tech so they are looking for AI to advance us. I am all for open source but the wrong people can get their hands on anything these days, especially since most people would sell out for money.

    Teacher Comes Out As Lesbian to Students

    I heard about this nonsense. No one should be doing this. They are grown adults talking about their bedroom preferences which are NOT acceptable. If she had her girlfriend or wife come in and one student asked about it, then by all means say you are a lesbian but to directly push this on kids...

    Indians Are Mad At Steve Harvey

    Who cares, cats are cute. Do they hate cats in India or something? What is the big freaking deal? I swear people are so fragile you can sneeze in the wrong direction and shatter tens of thousands of people.

    Where do you think this metaverse is going to lead?

    Some are saying it is just a rich man's fantasy. Others are saying it will be part of the future for everyone. I am not sure how I feel about it. Like everything I learned about it, it is making me feel as if they want to use this tech to track and database everyone and everything they are...

    What would you spend on a wedding ring?

    Spot on. Like the ring is nice and all but putting that money toward your future means more. I know plenty of women who would straight up tell a dude no if he proposed with anything less than a 10k ring. They will end up never married, I can tell you that much.

    Has anyone ghosted you? Or have you ghosted someone?

    Yup. I am actually glad he backed out of meeting. Had I caught some feelings for him and found out he was married after the fact, I would have lost it. Dudes that do this are spineless.

    What would you spend on a wedding ring?

    I am asking the guys in particular but ladies feel free to chime in on how much you think should be spent. I know the standard for a lot of people is 3 months' wages which seems ridiculous. Say you earning $3,500 a month, you really going to spend over 10k on a ring? That all seemed much to me...

    Has anyone ghosted you? Or have you ghosted someone?

    I was ghosted once. I was talking with a guy back in 2019. We met through another forum. We really connected, or at least I felt like we did. We lived pretty close to each other, he was just a state over. We planned on meeting up but when the day came, he just stopped responding. Weeks went by...

    Would you rather do a small or big wedding?

    Smaller is better. Why would I want to go into debt just to impress people? I never wanted a big wedding and never will. I want a few close friends and family, that is it. Nothing fancy or expensive. I want the day to be about me and my man and a healthy future together.

    The Game Awards 2021 Game Reveals - What are you interested in?

    I usually just watch the game trailers after the fact. These award shows are a joke. They just go with whatever they think should have won and that is about it.

    What Black Activist Groups Should Be Avoided?

    There are so many groups these days it seems. It is like gender identities with those tumblr people or something. lol I know some of them mean well, some do good, but a lot of them are just using skin color to get what they want when they want, they don't care about actually helping anything or...

    Do you like getting tatted up?

    I have two small ones. Nothing to brag or showcase. I was young and wanted the experience. My skin is light enough to show them well but I never wanted to be covered in them. I have a friend who is, she is a white gal. Has them on her legs, back, both arms, etc. She must have spent over 5k on...

    How the NFL Pushed Fans Like Me Away From the Game

    What pushed me away, as a woman, was the amount of abuse that the NFL swept under the rug. There were dudes straight beating the crap out of their girlfriends, wives, etc. and they would cover it up because they didn't want to risk losing a star player. I have heard of big names raping women...
