    The Hidden Metric on Black People’s Performance Reviews

    You would think that they would want someone in a higher position that is able to set aside office relationships to get the job done... But no, they want people they know they can control. You ever notice how a lot of higher-up positions are legit held by white men who you know would cheat on...

    Google says iMessage & its blue message bubbles leads to peer pressure & bullying

    What? I don't even know how to comprehend this. I use Signal and can use whatever color I want for whoever I want. I have everyone color-coded even so I don't accidentally send the wrong person a message LOL

    Linux Mint cinnamon

    I used Fedora and switch to Mint cause it seems to have better support for my needs and fewer issues, running Cinnamon as well. In terms of software, it depends on your needs. I basically use everything I used on Windows prior to switching. For gaming, I use Lutris which helps if I want to run...

    Otter Handling His Business

    LOL I bet he didn't know he was on camera! I always thought these guys were cute. They are like aquatic foxes mixed with cats or something. Anything that remotely resembles a cat in look or play always gets my heart. So cute!

    The Hidden Metric on Black People’s Performance Reviews

    I still find it funny how white people are complaining about being traced, tracked, and databased today when black people in America have been on these kinds of books for decades. I make a point to never talk politics or religion at work cause I know there are people who will use anything I...

    Viral images show people of color as anti-Asian perpetrators. That misses the big picture.

    Going to check this out later when I get home from work. Thanks for the heads up on this. I do prefer to watch couples when it comes to stuff like this and honestly, it can be a struggle to find farming content for and by black individuals online. I could be looking in the wrong places. I only...

    Would you ever consider micro-farming?

    It is hard to manage time for stuff like this so it does help to have a partner who is invested where you aren't so you can have the best of both worlds. It is a shame more younger people aren't getting into agriculture and working with their hands though.

    Negro league

    I was way too young to know about this. I will have to look into it more. What I said was in reference to how these black men (and women) are idolized and valued by not only members of the black community, but even by white people. Maybe this black league came too soon?

    Do You Eat And Make Mexican Food?

    There are a lot of people in America who think Taco Bell is Mexican food. I even met a younger Mexcian girl who believe this. I told her that her family would be ashamed of her LOL

    Viral images show people of color as anti-Asian perpetrators. That misses the big picture.

    I struggle with either analyzing too much or not enough, I am aware of my faults. And you are 100% correct. They serve no real value anymore outside of maybe checking sports scores or the weather.

    What little things in life bring you joy?

    I am trying to be more positive this year as a whole not only in my life but within my worldview. So I am making an effort to be more thankful, grateful, and just focusing on the little things in life that bring me pleasure, joy, and peace. I think we can all use a few moments a day to reflect...

    Negro league

    I often wonder about sports in general in America. Most of them, their top athletes are black men and women. I know back in the day, most teams were whiter than the first snow of the season but looking around now, we can clearly see who has more value in sports. I am thankful for what MLK did...

    Do You Eat And Make Mexican Food?

    I mean, I eat at Chipotle but that is about as far as I go with it. It is funny to think about how people do tacos differently in different areas, depending on who is making them as well. I always thought adding cheese and lettuce was just the "Americanized" version. Just like Chinese joints do...

    Viral images show people of color as anti-Asian perpetrators. That misses the big picture.

    What can I say, I fell for the manipulation. I can admit I was wrong here. I apologize for that. It is no secret hate crimes against black people in America are the highest year after year. The focus misled me, clearly. This is why I hate the media. They lie. My judgment gets clouded cause I...

    Do you think white women are glamorizing black men?

    You notice how a lot of commercials and ads are promoting mixed couples where the man is black and the woman is white? I have to assume this is on purpose to further the divide between black women and black men. Thankfully more people are waking up to it. Successful mixed-race couples are rare...

    Would you ever consider micro-farming?

    That is a good thing to consider. Crops take a LONG time to produce and they don't last. I think back to Genesis with this how Adam's curse from God dealt with crops and harvest. Food was never meant to be this difficult to come by. But yeah, learning how to can, fermentate, and freeze your...

    TikTok is a weapon against the youth

    So is this down to fear of breast cancer then? I have only heard of a few women doing this, that Angelina Jolie being one I can think of in recent years. Got both her breasts chopped off because there was "a chance" of breast cancer.

    Would you ever consider micro-farming?

    You ever see those setups that use aquariums for indoor farming of herbs and other small veg? I was watching videos on that last year and I couldn't believe something like that could work but it does. The fish provided a balanced and nutrient-rich soil that fed the plants beautifully without the...

    Samsung "Fan Edition" Phones?

    I saw they released one last year, the S20 FE and now they recently released another, the S21 FE. I was comparing their specs on GSM and I can't tell if it is actually worth the money. Like the S20 FE at the time seemed like it was a solid deal but the S21 FE feels like it is just a scam. Like...

    Are NFTS a passing fad?

    I am going to keep an eye on them but I feel like they are just a trend right now. Like they are piggybacking off crypto. I could be wrong though. I see the connections with big tech and corporations. This is why name brands are hiring people to peddle them out. I don't see the point in owning...
