    I don't envy people in this position! Not by a long shot.

    Dating older women (cougars)

    I think retaining your inner-youth is important. Like being able to play and have fun into your adult years and maintain that is better for your emotional and mental health. This is probably why people who have kids are generally happier than those who don't. Kids keep you in touch with your...

    What do you think are the keys to a successful marriage?

    I think dating apps and sites have a lot of flaws. I would wager we'd have more success on online communities like this one. Like-minded people coming together, forming online relationships that can become something more as we get to know each other. Anytime I hear of a successful couple in real...

    Diamond D On Why Fat Joe GetsnAn N-Word Pass

    True. Action is more important than speech. If we can respect ourselves and other people respect themselves, it just becomes better as a whole for a community and in general for society.

    50 Is Still Petty

    50 Cent is a troll these days and I find entertainment in it. When people get all worked up and take him seriously, I lose it. Some of the stuff he says is hilarious and you have to know the dude is doing it cause he knows he gets under people's skin. I never liked Ja Rule so when he craps on...

    Diamond D On Why Fat Joe GetsnAn N-Word Pass

    How about we all just stop referring to each other with the soft a or the hard r? Maybe this is just me but I feel like this whole dialog was pushed on us with hood culture to keep us enslaved to the state. Changing one letter doesn't make it less of a slur. And wtf even is a "n word pass"? What...

    NBA players saying "no" to vaccination, thoughts on this?

    I agree with this. They need to gather in numbers and take a stand. Most people have no issue with the vaccine, the issue is forcing it on people. That is not cool with me and shouldn't be cool with anyone else really. It starts with forcing a single vaccine and then in 10 years, they are...

    Do you plan on investing in a Linux-powered phone?

    I am. I am waiting until they are more stable though. There are some options now like the PinePhone, Librem 5, and the Pro 1X. They are just not 100% stable yet which is why I am waiting. That and they can be hard to come by. I definitely plan on my next phone being a Linux-powered one. I care...

    The 1960s - Over 40% of black families owned their own businesses, what happened?

    That was almost 1 in every 2 families having their own business. I have to wonder what happened here. Now it is something like less than 8%. I also was reading the statistics for marriage and co-op parenting. At the same time, 85% of black households were married or co-opting parents. Thomas...

    Anyone here ever join the military?

    I have never joined nor considered it. I think it times were different I may have. It seems like the military is heading in a weird direction right now with everything going on. Had I been born in another time and joined, I likely would have been a medic.

    Documentary on the Problems w/Transexuals Dating Straight Men

    I'll just say it like it is, I have a problem with people born as males competing with people born as females in sports. I have seen so many girl's and women's dreams get tarnished because of a trans girl/woman competing against them. I have compassion and I understand wanting to fit in and be...

    What do you think are the keys to a successful marriage?

    I talk trash about online dating all the time but I really feel like we all need to give it more of a chance. lol I am also not opposed to dating someone a bit older either cause they seem to have their ish together in life as well. I don't want to be committing myself to some class clown who...

    Tesla Robot

    They are using algorithms to basically give computers thinking processes. They use places like Facebook to track and store interactions from people all over the world. If they can somehow utilize that and put it in a robot, we are screwed lol

    What Do You Bring To The Table?

    Exactly! Better to realize you are not a good match earlier on cause the longer you wait, invest your time, your feelings, your funds into the relationship the harder it will be down the road when you realize things just aren't going to work out.

    NBA players saying "no" to vaccination, thoughts on this?

    I heard Kyrie Irving is among many star players out there saying "no" to the vaccine. Many of them say they had covid and have no need for the vaccine or they are choosing to wait until more testing has been done. There are some doing it as a political statement as well saying they are against...

    What do you think are the keys to a successful marriage?

    I feel like marriage still has value in this world and when you are paired with the right person for you, it makes life easier and more worth living. I know there are a lot of bad examples out there and reasons why it would seem best to avoid marriage but for me, I think it is an important...

    What Do You Bring To The Table?

    I have never been asked this but I feel like it is fair for both people involved in a relationship to be upfront with their morals, needs, and desires. Like if I desire to be a stay-at-home mother after I have children, the man I am with needs to be able to be okay with that and work a high...

    Documentary on the Problems w/Transexuals Dating Straight Men

    I am sure this is not the case for all trans women but plenty of them have been public saying they won't tell a dude they are trans or they think men who won't date them are being transphobic. I have no issue with people mind their own business and doing what they want with their bodies but when...

    Show Me Something

    Polar bears are some scary animals man. I only ever saw one once in person at the zoo. This was a while ago. That dude was looking like he was sizing everyone up for a meal. Haven't seen a polar bear at the zoo for a long time. Wonder why lol

    Where do you think the best spot to live in the US is?

    In regards to states, cities, policies, freedom, wealth, opportunities, education, and all that - What spot would you say is best to live in, in the USA? I was trying to figure this out a few months ago. It seems like each area has its positives and its negatives. Like in Wyoming. Your dollar...
