    Nicki Minaj is fed up and I love it!

    Man, I hate Twitter and I hate the MSM. If you are not in the loop, Nicki mentioned a cousin's friend having a bad reaction after the vaccine on Twitter. She also mentioned she would not get vaccinated just to attend an event. So in typical MSM fashion, they started labeling her an...

    What are your thoughts on company's labeling products "Black Owned"?

    I have mixed feelings about this. I like that there is some representation and people are seeing who owns what but at the same time, I feel like people are placing targets on businesses based on race. Like if a person of any race is faced with an option to buy from products from companies and...

    Do you shop on Amazon?

    I have had Prime for a while now. I originally got it because of affiliate links I was using. I made money through them and just had it send to my Amazon account. I mainly was using it to buy pet food but now I shop elsewhere for that. I am considering pulling away from Amazon entirely though...

    Memes Thread

    I thought we could use a thread for memes and other funny content online. I think the relatable ones are the best. (If this is a trash thread idea, I get it feel free to delete it.) So yeah, use this to share memes and funny pics you come across online. I'll start with one that I think is...

    Outdoor Pests

    I was just trying to enjoy some time outside for a while. Get some summer in before it is gone. I had no idea there was a huge wasps nest on the side of my house and these little satanic flying pieces of filth started going after me for no reason. Now I don't even want to leave my house LOL Do...

    So wait... Now we have to pay Bezos?

    I saw a news story about this dude getting a 10 billion dollar bailout for his space firm the very same day he bought that James Bond studio for almost 9 billion. So you mean to tell me the government is about to use our money to bail out some rich dude while he spends even more money on...

    Being judged as a group and not an individual?

    Black folks in America tend to be judged based on others, not based on our own accountability. This is a problem. It isn't right or fair to be judged by someone else's actions simply because we share the same skin color. I do my best to not judge other people based on one common denominator...

    Ways to get involved in bettering your community?

    I think the best approach to solving issues starts in the small, more localized areas. Obviously, you want to get your crap together in your own home but once you got things squared off, what is the next move? I want to work on improving my community. Ensure things stay clean and maintained...

    Whats this declassification of Sept. 11 about?

    I heard about this, someone I know brought it up. Does this mean we are going to finally get more information about what happened that day? And why wait 20 years? That seems a bit odd to me. I don't know man. This whole thing never sat right with me and I know I am not alone. Something fishy was...

    How do you think people should present themselves in public?

    In terms of clothing, how do you think both men and women should dress when in public? I always felt like you could have different options according to where you are or what you are doing but you never want to dress in a way that you would feel uncomfortable walking into a church (or making...

    You think we will end up with livable units under water?

    If you are familiar with Bioshock, think something like that. Like small towns all underwater. I feel like people are panicking more and more about running out of space so they might start looking to build underwater housing and stuff like that. I mean I think that would be cool but I would be...

    Irv Smith getting knee surgery

    I heard about this. He is an asset to the team and this is likely going to hurt them. Some people are saying he might miss most of the season, others are hoping he will be back in 4 to 6 weeks. Either way, this has to come as a sting to the Vikings. They did sign on Chris Herndon as a fill-in...

    In terms of fast food joints, what do you like the most?

    There are so many these days, I have a hard time picking. I seem to like at least one or two things from every spot. What do you like the most out of all of them? You can include things that aren't "fast food" in the drive-thru sense as well. Just has to be food made at convenience so things...

    Are designer labels even worth the cost?

    I feel like after you spend so much on quality, you are just paying for the brand or label and it seems frivolous to be throwing money away like that. I have certain brands and qualities I look out for. I will try to find stuff on sale when I can. But like when you are buying jeans for...

    Have you ever done one of those DNA tests?

    I was always curious. I was actually tempted to get one done a few years ago but I am glad I decided not to because some of the bigger companies were selling off the information of people to corporations and businesses. That felt really shady to me so I haven't wanted to get one done since...

    Donda - Kayne's latest album

    The album is named after his mother, which I can respect. I haven't listened to it in full but I did skim the tracks a bit. I am not really feeling it. I mean a few tracks sound decent but I feel like he transitioned too far away from his own style. I really enjoy his older work. Maybe this has...

    How do you manage your finances and debts?

    I grew up watching my parents struggle with this. Now I see my siblings doing the same and it kind of prevented me from acquiring huge amounts of debt out of paranoia. Like I didn't want to be in the kind of position where I have to struggle and worry all the time. I learned some stuff over the...

    Collectibles as an investment?

    A friend of mine's older brother has been doing this for like 10 years now. He buys things like LEGO sets and limited toy items and then just stored them to resell them. He has only sold a few things but he has made a decent profit off them. I just feel like it is a risk because, at any time...

    Do you rent or own?

    Currently, I am renting but I am hoping to buy a house next year. Likely going to get a raise at work. I have been looking around at houses on Trulia. The prices seem to be on the higher side compared to just a year ago. Likely down to COVID and people leaving the city and being able to work...

    Do you think the bad aspects of different cultures in the west are being praised too much?

    I think they are. When I was still on Twitter, I saw a whole mess of different things. I mean we see it in TV, movies, and music even. Like people are being told to be selfish, worry about themselves, and all that. Like yes, you take care of yourself but not to a point where you become a scumbag...
