    Do you guys like the Raycon earbuds?

    I considered getting them because they were much cheaper than other options out there and have pretty solid reviews but I am still too attached to my earbuds with the wire. I know a lot of people hate them these days but I am old school. I like to hang them around my neck when I take them out...

    Do compliments depend on looks?

    Did you ever notice how compliments are taken differently depending on how the person looks? What I mean by this is that a very attractive, well-dressed man can give any woman a compliment and it will always be taken well whereas coming from someone who is not very attractive, not dressed well...

    "Honey"..."Babe"...."Beautiful"..."etc."...

    Overall I don't mind them but it really depends on the context. There is a time and a place to use this kind of dialog. I work at a clinic and some older coworkers, especially the ladies, will throw around "sweety" or "honey" and that is fine but you won't hear the doctors talking like this to...

    The Church & the State Have the Same Problem

    The more I sit back and just watch things happen and watch what people do, the more I see stuff like this. What I mean by the title and the above is that the church and the state have the same problem where there are people involved that aren't out to make a better community or uplift others...

    The Black American Heritage Flag

    I am all for people proudly supporting and uplifting their heritage. I think it helps a community to grow and come together more so when important things need to be addressed, everyone is on board and doing their part.

    How hard do you think it is to become a successful “gamer”?

    This I think is the key. He can't put all his eggs in one basket cause if that falls through, they all break. I think the best approach is to keep at it but not fully invest in it at once. Take it as it comes. If he sees improving numbers, invest more into it.

    Non-Black Companies Are Moving On Africa

    What's that old saying? Small minds discuss people, average minds discuss events, and great minds discuss ideas. You can tell a lot about a person based on what they focus on most and where their conversations get off to.

    These algorithms are controlling out lives

    It amazes me though that this level of technology has become problematic in our society. We can't allow robots to decide things for us because they base everything on numbers. You can get a general idea of statistics but it takes away from individuality. And I am well aware of the book of...

    If a Man Pays All the Bills, What Do You Feel a Woman’s Role is in the Relationship?

    I can't remember the name of the guy but a while back I was watching a YouTube video where this man explained that at the foundation of any healthy family is a strong woman. Everything is built off her compassion, rationality, soft hand, and nurturing. This kind of woman makes for a better man...

    Do you take any vitamins?

    I started paying more attention to my health when I became a nurse. I somewhat got obsessed with it as I see a lot of unhealthy people on a weekly basis. It scares me a bit. One thing I try to do is ensure my body gets what it needs. I don’t eat the best but I am improving my diet as I go. I...

    Biden's Border Patrol Out Here Whipping Haitians

    Those are just the reins they use with the horse. It is meant to direct the horse. You usually whip them to keep people from getting too close to the horse as they can be injured, it causes the horse to buck. I only know this because my one uncle owns a farm and has 2 horses. The context is...

    How hard do you think it is to become a successful “gamer”?

    A friend of mine has a brother, he is 19 years old. He is trying to get big on YouTube and Twitch by way of gaming. He has a decent following but nothing that could sustain him as a career. He still has to work full-time. I have never looked into this all that much. I only enjoy a handful of...

    What are some signs it is a fetish?

    Damn, I would have done the same! That had to be so awkward. Like no matter how attractive a person is, there is a level of degrading behavior that should just not be acceptable by anyone. I have read things online from both men and women and they settled for being an object because the other...

    If a Man Pays All the Bills, What Do You Feel a Woman’s Role is in the Relationship?

    Exactly! And I don't know if it is just me or not but I think homemakers are strong and beautiful women. They are supportive, loyal, mind their own and want to make their man happy. I know this kind of life is not for everyone but I am perfectly capable of being happy in it. I would much rather...

    Do you keep in touch with any childhood friends?

    For sure. Drama queens. I don't have time for them. I have to focus on getting my life on order and productive. Constantly getting involved in other people's drama and problems is so draining too. If you want to keep on the path, you do you but some of us got places to go!

    COVID-19 Megathread

    So there are some more things coming out that are basically confirming this was a lab leak but with intentions. Supposedly, some whistle-blowers in China are saying they did everything on purpose. They thought "why should our economy be the only one that suffers?" and they did very little to...

    Non-Black Companies Are Moving On Africa

    Yup! When it comes to this kind of stuff, we are the products and addiction to these social platforms and free sites are damaging. I knew someone who had to check their Facebook every hour to the point where they were losing sleep over it. I haven't talked to her in a few years now but that is...

    Anyone here use Linux OS instead of Windows?

    This is fair. I mean that in a way it was easy to switch because it feels similar. The functionality and security are far better and it does take some getting used to because you need to rely on the terminal and a lot of programs don't have Linux integration. More and more today do though which...

    Diabetes rates in black women nearly double that of white women – WTF?

    Oh I have no issue with them promoting to love your body and accept it as you are but when you accept that you are overweight and do nothing about it, you only gain more weight and end up another statistic. I think the market thing is true as well. Black areas are encouraged to eat at places...

    Think the XFL will come back in full force?

    My brother was getting hyped over this years ago when they talked about bringing it back. I still don't think it can compete with the NFL or the college league. When it comes to sports, people care more about the sport itself and their own team. Like if I am going to watch a football game, I...
