Have you ever dated someone who was a fan of another team?

Has any of yall dated a man or a woman who liked different sports teams? I dated this one chick who was a fan of the 49ers, and I am a fan of the Cowboys, because I grew up in Texas mostly. Anyway, whenever the teams did face, we would always argue about the better team, but it was never to the point where it caused a rift in our relationship. But if you ever dated someone who liked different teams. Did it ever result in arguments about what team was better? Did you ever bet on games with each other? I considered it with my ex, but never did.

But yeah, I figured this topic would fit more in the thunderdome, as it has to do with sports. But if it works best in the Lovers and friends area, please do move it.

Elon is losing his damn mind!

This man is going to get us all killed in Terminator style! You see this thing? I am all for technology but I would legit shit myself if I saw this thing heading for me. The damn thing could deadlift me no problem. I don't know about you guys, but I am convinced that Elon is in his early stages of becoming a villain. Who's going to get rich enough to be Batman and stop him? LOL

Examples of positive feminine energy!

I want to hear from both the ladies and gents on this one.

What would you consider to be good examples of positive feminine energy that makes women more appealing to men and generally more likable to others?

It seems like not many people these days understand what true femininity is or what true masculinity is. They just look at the extremes of both in a negative light and explain why both are bad.

MARVEL SAYS THE WORD ‘MEN’ IN X-MEN IS OUTDATED AND NON-INCLUSIVE

Megyn Kelly told OutKick earlier this month that the culture war in the United States is no longer liberal vs. conservative but sane vs. insane. I agreed with Kelly, although “insane” may no longer do justice.

First, the American Civil Liberties Union erased the words “woman,” “she” and “her” from a Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg quote. The next day, Marvel’s new President Victoria Alonso suggested the studio could soon alter the name of the X-Men univers

What’s wrong with X-Men? According to Marvel, I just made an outdated remark by uttering the word “men.” Shame on me

“I don’t know where the future is going,” Alonso said. “It’s funny that people call it the X-Men, there’s a lot of female superheroes in that X-Men group, so I think it’s outdated

Got that?

So who exactly is complaining that X-Men is not inclusive? No one — at least not anyone of importance. Simply, Marvel is preemptively catering to low-level blue checks who could label the brand some mean term. It’s better to get out ahead before they catch you. Alonso, as the new president, wants the same protective shield that her fellow film honchos have.

By the way, I don’t know if Marvel would make this change. But, as the new president, Victoria Alonso is trying to get in the good graces of the press. And it’s a good start. In the eyes of social media, Victoria Alonso is undoubtedly one of the good women people in this gruesome culture war.

Are You At Least Bilingual?

The internet has made the world a smaller place. Are you able to communicate in another language.

As I become incorporated in early 2022, I think learning another language is a benefit to doing business.

I speak KiSwahili, Spanish, and I'm learning Amharic. Strategic aims are in those choices except Spanish.

I see myself rubbing elbows in Addis Ababa with the African Union. I see myself establishing a business in ECOWAS and the East African Community.

Have you ever dated someone without knowing they were in another relationship?

I haven't but I had a friend that did. She saw this guy for a few months and come to find out, he was in a pretty long term relationship with another girl. They had a really big falling out and I think she ended up contacting the other girl and told her about everything. It was all a really big mess lol

Something Enormous Just Slammed Into Jupiter​

And the scar could be bigger than Earth.

Something Enormous Just Slammed Into Jupiter

Some planets take a lot of hits for us.
Jupiter, the largest gas giant in the solar system, was just slammed by an asteroid, according to an initial tweet from ESA Operations.
As the strongest gravitational force next to the sun, this isn't that uncommon. But it serves to remind us that, while the Earth isn't moving in a shooting gallery of apocalyptic asteroids, asteroid detection technology must continue to expand, lest one day we awake to learn it's the last any of us will ever live before an extinction-level impact.

Jupiter gets punched in the face a lot​

On September 13, 2021, at roughly 6:39 PM EDT, amateur astronomers monitored and recorded a colossally bright flash of what seemed to be an impact on Jupiter. Harald Paleske of Germany was recording the shadow of Jupiter's moon, Io, as it passed in front of the planet. But other astronomers involved included José Luis of Brazil, Michel Jacquesson and Jean-Paul Arnould in France, Simone Gelelli of Italy, and Didier Walliang and Alexis Desmougin of the Société Lorraine d'Astronomie, also on France. Many also filmed the event, and suspect an impact on Jupiter.





While still unconfirmed, the putative event would mark only the eighth impact witnessed on Jupiter since the initial impact of Shoemaker-Levy 9 in 1994, which disintegrated into separate parts as Jupiter's immense tidal forces ripped it open, transforming the singular asteroid into a rapid-fire event of glorious mayhem. Sadly, no one on Earth was able to see the explosions, since the impacts happened on Jupiter's far side. But a 7.2-ft (2.2-m) Hawaii-based telescope photographed the heat signatures of each impact site as they swiveled into view. The Hubble Space Telescope also snapped grim pictures of the dark, bruise-colored smears strewn beneath the clouds, aptly named "scars."

NASA is upgrading Earth's planetary defense against NEOs​

As of writing, scientists are unsure how often Jupiter is impacted by something so massive or high-velocity that it generates an impact flash we can see from Earth, but the consensus is it's fairly often; between 20 and 60 times every year. If the Earth experienced significant impacts with the same frequency, its surface might look very different, and so would whatever survived. But luckily, Jupiter's unconscionably strong gravitational field is gigantic, and accelerates incoming meteorites to unkind speeds, multiplying the kinetic energy of the incoming bodies by several orders of magnitude, which is proportional to the level of energy released upon impact (think of how baseballs hurt more if they slam into you with greater speed).

But Jupiter doesn't take every cosmic hit headed Earth's way. Some scientists suspect we're overdue for another asteroid impact of a similar scale to the one that spelled doom for the dinosaurs. These happen once every 50 to 60 million years. Lucky for us, NASA gave the green light for a new space telescope, called the Near-Earth Object Surveyor (NEO Surveyor), in June. And it's designed to upgrade Earth's planetary defense network by detecting cosmic bodies with potentially dangerous orbital trajectories. "[W]e think there are about 25,000 NEOs large enough to wipe out an area like Southern California," said NEO Survey Project Leader Amy Mainzer in a statement from the University of Arizona. "Once they get bigger than about 450 feet in diameter, they can cause severe regional damage. We want to find these, and as many smaller ones as possible." This could take a few years to launch, and we have other means of detecting NEOs. But whenever a monumental impact flashes from the cloud tops of Jupiter, remember: That might have been us.

Do you have any horror stories involving the police?

The police are supposed to serve and protect, but it seems like it's the opposite when it comes to the black community. With the constant news about cops murdering black men and women, like it's nothing. It's happening so much, that I do worry everytime I see a cop drive by.

I've been stopped by the police a couple times, thankfully nothing ever came of it. They were always chill with me, and respectful, but I know not all cops are out there to get you. But, I still worry about the corrupt ones who are still on the force. Because, dude, they're out there and are probably getting away with murder on a daily basis.

Anyway, have you ever experienced bad treatment from a police officer? And if so, how did it affect you overall?

Could you date a famous person?

Do you think you could date a famous person? I would totally be down to date Rihanna or Beyonce. Of course there's absolutely no chance in hell that would ever happen to me, but hey, a guy can dream. Anyway, if that chance ever presented itself, and you could date a famous person, would you?

Honestly, I'm 50/50 on it, because one part, it could be great and the life from it could be fun. But, I don't think I can handle being any bit famous, because I don't want to deal with paparazzi, or deal with fans storming my girlfriend. If dating someone famous was the same as any other relationship, I'd probably be more into it. But, the idea that you'll probably be on the news, in magazines and so on. And I can't see myself enjoying that.

Do you think that Mario movie will be any good?

They released the cast for it. I am not sure how I feel about it. I grew up playing Mario as a kid and have so many fond memories of the different games on the different consoles. I still go back and play the old school ones. I did watch that live actions Mario movie they did back in the '90s and it was so bad... But honestly, similar to the Mortal Kombat movies, I enjoyed it for what it was. Maybe that was just my kid brain.

I am hoping this movie does good. It won't be live-action like the other one. Maybe they learned their lesson. I don't think I will watch it until the reviews are out on it though.
