    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...

    Why does Apple think their pricing is fair?

    Apple makes decent products but they are definitely overpriced. They don't think their prices are fair or unfair, they just know what people are willing to pay for them. If they started losing money, the costs would go down.

    Do you think Black people can be racist?

    Anyone can be racist or prejudice against anyone. The issue isn't about who can or can't be racist, the issue is who has more power. A black man who is racist can shoot and kill one white person and be sent to prison for life. A white man who is racist can run as a politician and make sure black...

    Are black women required to have abortions?

    Planned Parenthood was a concept made up by a very, VERY racist person who sought to rid the US population of black people. You can look into it more for yourself. I feel like it goes hand in hand with how warped the culture has become. Dudes need to wrap up their meat and ladies need to be more...

    Would you live on Mars?

    Nope. I am so good on this. Would be so easy for someone to kill you even by accident. I am comfortable here. How about we send all the politicians to Mars? Let them figure out how to fix their own damn problems they invented!

    Explain Your Username

    A friend of mine told me a few years ago that I was like grapes. I was sweet and easy to digest but when someone got on my bad side, I turned sour as all hell. So the name stuck with me. lol

    Heating is going up this winter by as much as 54%

    I keep hearing the phrase "dark winter" being tossed around. I think even Biden said it. I feel like this crap was all planned. They want us all to suffer so we basically hand them the keys to the entire car and let them drive us wherever. Power hungry snakes.

    Wired Earbuds?

    Legit lol'd. Man you know that is not what I am after. Those take me back though. I remember having to use them in school. They were straight trash.

    Think the US will ever fully legalize cannabis?

    Yup. They tax the crap out of them and then they act like they are taking the higher road by saying how bad both are for our bodies. Like sure, you really care about that. Both industries are probably in bed with the medical industry that makes mad bank on people getting sick from both. I have...

    Jon Gruden under fire for racist remarks

    I would go a step further and say it is white liberal women. I am sure the money-making aspects and political gains are done primarily by white men using these people and this group but it is the women who organize and run the events. They pressure the media, push the propaganda, and make sure...

    Wired Earbuds?

    I am old school and still prefer wired earbuds. I don't care if I am living in the past, I like what I like! I am looking for a new brand/kind to get since mine are on their last leg. I have a few other pairs of the same kind but they are just cheap HTC ones. I want something that will last...

    Jon Gruden under fire for racist remarks

    Well... What did you expect? The LGBT+ group has that privilege now. They like to act more oppressed than black folks. Maybe I am crossing the line with that remark but I am just keeping it real and calling it as I see it. This isn't the only story you will find like this one either.

    Heating is going up this winter by as much as 54%

    You can read stories about it from various locations all saying the same thing. https://abc7ny.com/home-heating-natural-gas-oil-bills/11125338/ This is pretty bad. Like I get that not everyone knows how the systems work in the US, I certainly only know a fraction of it but what did people...

    Think the US will ever fully legalize cannabis?

    I am on the fence with this one. I feel like because alcohol and smoking are legal, weed should be but at the same time, I think the short and long-term effects for people who smoke all the time are often dismissed. I feel like if they were to make it legal, it would be about money and taking...

    Have you ever changed the mind of a racist?

    I never tried and if I did, I wouldn't know about it. I have had some passive interactions with some. I just rise above and smile at them. I had one older woman come into the clinic and asked for a different nurse. I know she meant one that wasn't black. I told her we are short-staffed and I...

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

    Thanks for the replies. The reason why I don't want to run into him is that he was a possessive and abusive jerk. Once I cut ties with people, I don't want to see them again as well. I have burned a number of bridges over the years and while I hear about people from my past, I seldom ever see...

    Southwest is heading south!

    Probably for the best. I would imagine any place that is a tourist destination is going to be a mess for a few years. At least here in the US. People keeping talking about things going back to normal in 2022. I am not seeing it. lol
