    COVID-19 Megathread

    So there are some more things coming out that are basically confirming this was a lab leak but with intentions. Supposedly, some whistle-blowers in China are saying they did everything on purpose. They thought "why should our economy be the only one that suffers?" and they did very little to...

    Non-Black Companies Are Moving On Africa

    Yup! When it comes to this kind of stuff, we are the products and addiction to these social platforms and free sites are damaging. I knew someone who had to check their Facebook every hour to the point where they were losing sleep over it. I haven't talked to her in a few years now but that is...

    Anyone here use Linux OS instead of Windows?

    This is fair. I mean that in a way it was easy to switch because it feels similar. The functionality and security are far better and it does take some getting used to because you need to rely on the terminal and a lot of programs don't have Linux integration. More and more today do though which...

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

    Oh I have no issue with them promoting to love your body and accept it as you are but when you accept that you are overweight and do nothing about it, you only gain more weight and end up another statistic. I think the market thing is true as well. Black areas are encouraged to eat at places...

    Think the XFL will come back in full force?

    My brother was getting hyped over this years ago when they talked about bringing it back. I still don't think it can compete with the NFL or the college league. When it comes to sports, people care more about the sport itself and their own team. Like if I am going to watch a football game, I...

    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...
