    Black students suspended for protesting rising of Confederate flag

    Like I said, I get that some flags and symbols have a bad history and we need to know about this history so we are not doomed to repeat it for sure... My issue is that people are so sensitive that a flag or symbol upsets them enough to not just ruin their day but ruin their outlook on life. They...

    ROMs and Emulators

    Right now I am just getting the rooms. I will have to see which emulators work best. There seem to be a few good options per console but some of them work better than others.

    Stupid Laws

    A lot of people make jokes about chickens cause they are smart enough not to drink water after they pooped in it but they continue to poop in it. lol I like eggs and would love to have fresh eggs daily but I don't think I would be able to keep them. My uncle has a dozen or so on his farm and he...

    Have you ever had a close friend move away?

    When I was younger, I had a close friend move away. I think if this had happened now, we likely would have stayed in touch thanks to social media, video chats, etc. but I was never able to get back in touch with her. She ended up marrying a guy in the military and goes state to state when he...

    High Standards In Dating

    I think it is important to value yourself and never feel like you are settling for less than you feel you deserve. You want to be selective but not to a point where no one is good enough for you, if that makes sense. Like for me, I am looking to find someone who wants commitment, children...

    VHS to Digital capture devices

    I have no experience with this. I do know that my mom did get some old tapes put on DVD. She went to a business to get this done. I don't think it was too expensive. You should look into prices and compare which would be better financially. It might work out to being not too much more to just...

    ROMs and Emulators

    Does anyone here play ROMs via emulators? I am building up a collection of games I had from when I was a kid. My brother basically hoarded all the consoles and games as we got older and left me with nothing. I didn't care at the time but now I want to play some of the classics and I don't have...

    Would you avoid moving to a spot where you know you'd run into an ex?

    That is why I am on the fence about it. The dude legit told me he would kill me a few times. Not the kind of person I ever want to see again. If I knew the chances were slim, I would go check out some houses. I still might. Not sure.

    Stupid Laws

    Yeah, but they can carry diseases. I think it depends. Like you can get sick from keeping chickens. I believe the cleanest bird species is the crow overall in terms of keeping itself clean and not spreading illnesses.

    Wired Earbuds?

    I still have my first iPod from way back in 2005. It still works but can't hold a charge to save its life lol

    Did you ever know someone who kept you around as a backup?

    Oh yes. I was dating this guy who I was really into. We had only been going out for maybe 2 weeks. I like to take things slow and he wasn't having it so he dumped me. A good 6 months go by and he is texting me, asking how I am doing. I told him I was seeing someone else (I wasn't) and I was busy...

    Are you into the holiday season or does it stress you out?

    I know some people who are obsessed with it. Like they can't wait to start putting out lights, buying gifts, and all that. I also know some people who dread it every year and are the last to do anything for the holiday. I even know a couple of people who legit go into hiding cause they don't...

    Are we on the brink?

    We have all these people quitting due to mandates and being underpaid. We also have all the people flooding into the US from the border. Put two and two together... I can bet you the corporations planned this. Cheap labor.

    Black students suspended for protesting rising of Confederate flag

    What is up with people getting obsessed over flags? Like if they want to protest it, let them. I mean damn. People get upset over the dumbest things anymore. There is a flag, badge, or stamp for everything and someone is bound to get pissed about it. I get that this one has ties with history...

    Wired Earbuds?

    That had to be a time! I grew up with portable CD players but they shifted into MP3 players so fast. I like the convenience of the MP3 players but I do miss seeing people with CD players and walkmans everywhere.

    Jon Gruden under fire for racist remarks

    Fair point. People still can't talk about jews in a negative light? I thought we moved past that. Ever notice how many Jewish people are in Hollywood, the porn industry, and how many are comedians? How the f did that happen?

    You ever get knock-off or cheap tech that ends up being good?

    You actually reminded me of a headset I got years back for the 360. It had no brand and was only like $12 but that thing was better than the headset I had paid $40 for that broke after 2 months. I also got some knock-off controllers that ended up being decent. Not as good as the brand label but...

    Would you live on Mars?

    Amen. I mean they do nothing but rob us and ruin everything. Bout time they go figure things out where they can't screw with other people's lives. Most of them are earning like 150k to 300k a year yet they are worth millions... Go fish! lol

    You ever get knock-off or cheap tech that ends up being good?

    I have used a lot of cheaper items that turned out to be decent. USB sticks and gadgets, chargers and wires, and things of that nature. I feel like for certain things, you can get away with going cheap but in many cases, you do get what you pay for. Have you ever got something tech-related that...
