    What is your take on rappers getting political?

    I'll post a few examples below. I want to know what you all think on it. Like I think the culture in America has fractured and is dominated by self-indulgence through consumerism and greed. Relationships and marriages are failing daily, people aren't raising their kids, the government itself is...

    Smartwatches, anyone use them?

    I am still pretty hooked on my PC and laptop though. When I am not at work, I am sitting at my desk 90% of the time. So needless to say, it is a work in progress for me lol

    love at first sight

    Yup. That is all chemicals and hormones. I mean it is natural to be stimulated by someone you find physically attractive and to have an attachment on the physical level form. Just can't confuse it with the real deal. Exactly! Love is not unstable and comes and goes, love is a solid foundation.

    Anyone have any experience with moving?

    Thanks for the tips so far, keep them coming! I already got some of those plastic bins (18 gal) from Walmart. I think I paid like $45 for 8 of them. Figured I could use those in place of boxes and have them for storage after the fact instead of buying boxes that will just be thrown away. I am...

    Loveless Marriages

    Love is needed but romance is not. I am all for romantic gestures and getting surprises from my man but I value security, trust, and respect more than romance. I always felt real love was a choice and a commitment in and of itself. So long as both people are holding up their ends of the marriage...

    Anyone have any experience with moving?

    I mentioned before that I am hoping to get my own spot and put money down on a house next year. I have been looking into options and talking to some real estate people. I don't have a lot of stuff but looking around, I feel like I am going to be so overwhelmed when I move. Does anyone have...

    Whelp

    I am still waiting on those ocean trains. That would impress me more. This is cool but I worry what damages will result in the first 5 to 10 years of launching these. Just have to hope there are smart people operating them I guess.

    Twitter?

    I closed my account in 2019. If they ever give me a reason to go back, I will put it here but as of now, I have no social media home outside of forums like this one.

    Smartwatches, anyone use them?

    I never had a smartwatch. I am not a big fan of wearing devices. Maybe that is just me. I see the benefits of them but I wouldn't really make much use of them anyway. I am finding myself using my phone less and less as well. Probably for the better.

    Windows 11 did you make the move?

    Windows 11 is like the Walmart knock-off version of Linux and Apple. I get what they were going for and it does look nicer but I am good on going back. I will happily stay a Linux girl.

    I don't trust Alexa

    I am soooo good on that! I probably would have taken a hammer to it. I just don't trust technology like this, not when there are snakes out there looking to have control over our lives and our spending.

    Do you do anything on/for Halloween?

    Let me know if you end up getting anything and it is good. I like to keep track of sellers on places like that who do a good job so I can recommend them to other people.

    Being friends first?

    The point was saying that a relationship built on lust that has no friendship will never last. I have a friend who is married and she always says she married her best friend. You can see the friendship is real with them. They are completely bonded on all levels so nothing and no one can break them.

    Pandora Papers

    I am all for taxes that support on a state level. Like to help those who can't work, funding that goes to fixing public spaces, funding police and firefighters, to fund public schools... But all too often do I see people get taxed and live in crappy areas where there is little to no funding...

    Black Success & Uplifting Stories

    I thought this would be a good thread to have. A way to share news stories and talk about people who have done some pretty amazing things. I am ashamed to say I am only just hearing about the work of Mashudu Tshifularo. I want to start with him for this thread. You can read more about him...

    Was Prince Molested as a Teen?

    Prince had one of the kindest hearts in the music industry. I believe both he and MJ were abused as children be it sexually or not. You can kind of tell when someone has damage under the surface.

    Is it me or is Monday Night Raw some trash?

    I watched this growing up with my brother. Tried to get back into it in like 2016 and I just couldn't do it. The product is just so bad. Not even my brother who was a life-long fan watches it anymore. He said he only watches AEW now. I never looked into it to know if it is any good.

    I don't trust Alexa

    I am aware I am being tracked on my phone, card, etc. I just want to minimize the tracking as much as possible. I know even if I never went on the internet or owned a smartphone, I would still get tracked through bank and credit cards. Even if I opted to not use either, I still have to get my...

    Ring Doorbell

    If you want some kind of security setup, do it yourself. Have it be stored on your own cloud system or saved to a personal PC. You don't want a company like this to have video footage on you. The way things are heading, I know I won't be feeding the tech overlords any more information than I...

    Do you do anything on/for Halloween?

    Check on etsy. I have a few friends who only get their costumes on there. There are some great designers and costume makers on the platform. You pay more but you get some solid costumes out of it. If I dressed up, that is where I would shop. I don't have the skills to make my own.
