What's the real problem with forgiveness?

It's the fact that we don't really know what it is so we misuse it, perpetuating the problem. Laquan McDonald's Great Uncle is in the news, misusing forgiveness and so perpetuating the suffering of many more. It is not our job to forgive anyone, but to forgive our own perceptions. Forgiveness is part of a self healing process that has nothing to do with anybody else.

To use forgiveness in a way that makes others believe YOU even hold the power to forgive another simply ensures no one is healed. When we misuse forgiveness in this way, we are not only doing ourselves a disservice, we cut the legs out from under everyone involved, the community AND white people.


But I forgive my thoughts that cause me to get angry at him for doing this. He is right, Rahm Emanuel is a victim of the system, BUT SO WAS HIS NEPHEW!

He says he wants justice but it is not just to perpetuate the very system that isn't giving you justice by rewarding individuals who perpetuate the system. His words grouped with his actions, don't make logical sense. He's saying one thing but doing the EXACT OPPOSITE!

I forgive my perception of him because I know he is intoxicated by his own ego. He does not know how deeply he is undermining himself. He is so in love with the IDENTITY of being the "holy man", the "bigger man" in front of everyone that he is stabbing himself and everybody else in the back!

Building A Render Farm

So, I'm on pins and needles planning a small in-house render farm that I'll be used to create a film that I've been planning to make. I have a few games lined up, too.

I'm going with Ryzen on this project:

Generally, Ryzen is the rockstar that everyone gives praise. I'm hoping they can fulfill the heavy loads that will be placed on them.

Are there any Intel fans in the building? If so, what do you think about Intel's FLOPS output vs AMD's?

Movies you loved growing up, but hate now

Are there any movies that you grew up with, and enjoyed, but then ended up hating or disliking when you re-watched it as a teen or adult? There's a few movies for me, but one movie that comes to mind was the Air Bud movies. I was huge into those movies when I was a kid, but damn, do they age poorly haha. Anyway, what are some movies you remember enjoying as a kid, but can't watch anymore?

Are you competitive when it comes to gaming?

There are times where I am very competitive when it comes to gaming. I like to think I'm a beast when it comes to fighting games. Tekken, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, you name it I play it. I also consider myself pretty decent at the Smash Bros series as well.

Anyway, are there any games you're really competitive at? If so, what are they?

Can I install a 3rd screen to my PC setup?

I currently have a two monitor setup, but want to add a third screen to the mix soon. I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER graphics card that I have my current monitors plugged into. But, my on board graphics has two HDMI ports and another display port.

My processor is an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core at 3.59 GHz and I have 16GB or RAM.

I have an older HD TV that I kinda want to use as a third screen, and just use it for watching YouTube and movies while I work. I figure this way too, I have more screen space to even stream eventually.

Anyway, could I connect a third monitor via the onboard graphics? Or would it not be a good idea?

Would you like to see Jordan Peele do comedy again?

Don't get me wrong, I love the movies he's been doing as of late, some of the best horror movies in recent years. But, I love his comedy as well. Him in Key and Peele for example, one of my favorite shows. Sucks they decided to call it quits after like 4 seasons I think.

Anyway, I'd be down to see Jordan Peele make more comedy movies and shows again. Or just anything. I'd like to see what else he can do besides just horror and comedy. Maybe action, drama, etc. He's a great director, and I can see him doing so much more.

Have you ever cheated?

I think we can all say at the very least the thought crossed our minds. The last boyfriend I had, I never cheated on him even though he treated me badly and gave me plenty of reasons to do so, including planning hookups with his married friend's wife. They never did anything and he said he was doing it to boost his ego. Yeah, okay. I still think he cheated but I could never prove it. I am the type of person that would feel too guilty to go through with it so I never did. I have considered it but never could bring myself to do it.

Have you ever cheated on a partner of yours? If so, what was your reasoning?

Anyone here own reptiles?

When I was growing up, I was obsessed with snakes, lizards, and turtles. I wanted to have some by my mom never let me. She hates reptiles and didn't want any of them in her house. I have friends that own some. One has a bearded dragon and that little mf'er is mean as hell! It seems like he is a very high-maintenance pet to have as well. I started looking up different types you can have as pets and I have come to the conclusion that they are all high-maintenance creatures and I don't think I will bother with one anymore. lol

Anyone here own any reptiles? Do you think they are all high-maintenance?

Sinema’s Tax-Rate Blockade Prods Democrats Left Toward Billionaires’ Tax

Senator Kyrsten Sinema’s refusal to accept corporate, individual or capital gains tax rate increases has led Democrats to consider proposals once championed by the party’s most liberal flank.

I have put in quotes for the TL;DR folks.

What they "want" to do:
Democrats had hoped to pay for much of their social policy and climate spending with by raising low capital gains tax rates for those earning at least $400,000, lifting the top personal income tax rate back to 39.6 percent from the 37 percent level that President Donald Trump secured in 2017, and increasing the corporate income tax rate from 22 percent to 25 percent or 26 percent. That corporate rate would still be far less than the 35 percent rate that Mr. Trump slashed, while the top personal rate would be back to where it was for most of the past 25 years.

What they are saying is in the way:
But in the 50-50 Senate where all Republicans are opposed, they cannot afford to lose even one Democratic vote on the legislation, giving Ms. Sinema effective veto power over its contents.

This is a game they play where they put all these road blocks in place to justify not doing anything for the people. One minute it's the Republicans, then it's not having enough seats in Congress, and next it's a lone ranger Democrat holding everything up. We saw Nancy Pelosi get straight gangster on AOC and made her change her vote but that's not going down here? They gonna use this as justification to either gut the bill or make the average person pay for it.

It's smoke and mirrors Joe.

What concerts have you gone to?

Have you ever seen any bands/artists live in concert? I went to a 50 Cent concert when I was in my teens that was awesome. I also saw Smash Mouth against my will one time, but was with friends so it was bearable. Other than that I saw Kendrick Lamar a little while back and that was one of my favorite shows.

What bands and artists have you seen live?
