    Do you keep in touch with any childhood friends?

    All the friends I had growing up either moved away, or I outgrew them. They kind of stayed the same from the age of 16 and stopped maturing. Kept doing the same old thing and making the same old mistakes. I made new friends in college and through work.

    These algorithms are controlling out lives

    This is some mind-blowing ish right here. I knew about the social credit score system in China but I had no idea we had one in the US that functions in a similar way. Watch the video. Were you aware of this happening? I am shocked not more people are talking about this. Everything we do is...

    Anyone here use Linux OS instead of Windows?

    I do. I use Fedora. I love it. It is easy to use and doesn't feel too different from Windows. I have a lot fewer privacy concerns or worries about viruses and stuff like that on here as well. You just have to get adjusted to using the terminal and codes to download things but you can easily look...

    Non-Black Companies Are Moving On Africa

    Why do I feel like they are just trying to ruin their culture by exposing them to stuff for "free"? Maybe that is just where my mind goes these days. I am all for people having internet access and entertainment but when something is free, you are the product.

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

    I will be honest, it didn’t hit me hard until I saw an article about it and looked into it more. I thought more about it myself because I work at a clinic. I see more black women with this issue than white women and more women in general as compared to men. They say your risk of diabetes...

    Anyone hear about this?

    Yeah, I have heard of this. There are a few other areas like this as well. I can't remember what place it was but a handful of years back, they had some flooding issues and unearthed some corroded pipe systems that were poisoning people. Water is a very basic thing and should be tested...

    GPU prices are still off the charts!

    I hate scalpers, like HATE them! They do this kind of crap with anything tech-related and it causes issues for the rest of us. I know some stores put in place restrictions and stuff but it isn't enough. They find ways around it by using multiple accounts, bots, and addresses.

    What are some signs it is a fetish?

    Okay, this makes sense. Like a person can be attracted to a certain race (and have a preference for it over others) but if the focus of the entire person deals with their culture, heritage, or skin color then it is clearly a fetish. I know we can't help who we are attracted to but I also know...

    Crashing parties and other events

    That is kind of the true definition of crashing right there. Just showing up and not knowing one person. lol I can't say I know anyone who has ever done that. Has to be an interesting thing. I can bet people at these parties are thinking "who knows these people?" lol

    MacOS vs. Windows: Which do you prefer?

    Linux lol But of the two, Windows. That is just what I grew up knowing and I have tried using Mac and just didn't like it. Feels too strapped down and all their programs are ridiculously expensive with limited free alternatives in open software.

    What are some signs it is a fetish?

    I am an open person. I have dated different types of men be it race, background, height, or weight but it is clear that there are some real weird people out there who look to fetishize these things. I have met men who will only date Asian women (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) and they were white or...

    I have a sex addiction

    Maybe this is the inner nurse in me but have you considered getting your hormone and blood levels checked out? A lot of men and women who have sex addictions actually have issues with both that can be fixed with diet and medication. It might be worth looking into.

    GPU prices are still off the charts!

    I can't believe it. The one I got a few years back for my new computer was $150 and it is now selling for over $500 on Amazon! I checked other places and if they happen to have it in stock, the prices are all around the same. It is not worth that much. This has to be down to labor shortages...

    Facebook and RayBan Smart Glasses

    I want nothing to do with Facebook. So I am so good on getting these. As much as I love the tech and a lot of things coming out, I don't want to be locked in with a social platform like that.

    Dooms Day Prepping

    That is what sucks! Like unless you have a house where you can stock up a basement, you run out of room so fast. I am probably just going to get one of those water filter jugs that lasts 5 years so I don't have to worry about water. That takes up the most room. Going to stock up on batteries and...

    Online Privacy

    Yeah and what really made me realize I wasn't the crazy one was when that lizard dude who owns Facebook had his laptop camera covered. If he is covering it, then I can't imagine what he has heard of people doing!

    Did you date anyone you started to dislike fast?

    A friend of mine said that she used to be friends with someone else he dated but didn't realize it until months after the fact. I guess the dude was very manipulative and controlling in that relationship as well. Some guys just like power tripping.

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

    I mentioned this in another thread. I don't have a job because I enjoy it. I would much rather be a housewife! I don't care what people think of me. I enjoy cooking and cleaning. Heck, I even want to get into gardening and raising chickens. A lot of women I think feel this way but are too scared...

    Do you go to yard sales?

    I haven't been back there to find out! lol I am so good on that. Waking up with bites all over me one too many times to step foot back in there. Yeah, this is true. I think this is why it is important for parents to spend time with their kids and do things they can enjoy and be a part of. I...

    Do you expect your woman to submit to mediocrity?

    I am a pretty feminine woman. I work because I have to, not because I enjoy it or want a career for myself. I would much rather be cleaning, cooking, and raising kids at home while taking care of my man who provides than working but that option has been taken away from us. I can see what you are...
