Have you ever dated someone who was crazy in any way? Or maybe they were different, or had weird quirks. I dated this one girl when I was in college. She was awesome in the beginning, but as we started to date more and more, I started to see signs of severe anger. Like she would get mad at the drop of a hat. One night when we were hanging out, we got to talking about life and our future. She mentioned wanting to have kids, and I let it out that I don't know if I'm ready for that. She was visibly mad at this point and started to yell at me.
I wanted to spend my life with her, but her mood swings really messed with me. And I couldn't keep up with her.
This one is happening close to me and it makes me so mad. The Tampa police sent notices to landlords when their tenants were arrested or stopped by officers and pushed for their eviction. No shocker that about 90% of those flagged by the police were black and lost their homes even if the charges were dropped.
When asked about the demographics of the people who had been flagged by the program, Mayor Castor said complexes with the highest crime rates were mostly those with a higher percentage of minority tenants. “Criminality is not a protected class,” she said. “If you flip that, on the other side, look at the majority of people you have kept from being victims of crime in these particular complexes.”
This is so evil in so many ways. The Tampa police has always been terrible and this is just another reason why.
The vaxocracy continues. Now I'm not for or against the vax I'm about choice and the government is basically using this to create a two-tier society. @Jay what's going on out there?
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health is set to announce a formal public health order this week that will require either proof of vaccination or a recent negative COVID test for a multitude of public events and spaces, including bars and nightclubs. Per multiple sources, the health order — which will go into effect on October 7 — will mandate proof of vaccination or a negative test for any outdoor over 10,000 people, and for all indoor spaces at nightclubs, bars, lounges, breweries, and distilleries. The health order stops short of mandating proof of vaccination or a negative test for restaurants.
Per ABC 7, Los Angeles County public health director Dr. Barbara Ferrer “believe that targeted vaccine mandates are now a very important strategy for quickly raising vaccination coverage across our county and ending the pandemic.’’
As the delta variant continues to move throughout Los Angeles County (despite recently falling hospitalizations and case rate numbers) the health order is designed to keep the spread below the raging infection and death rates in Florida and Texas. New York City mandated a similar policy on August 16, making it the first U.S. city to do so since the pandemic began; that public health order took effect this week.
Locally, the city of West Hollywood drafted its own vaccine mandate just days ago, which is set to take effect on October 11. In Los Angeles County, the LA County Department of Public Health (DPH) oversees public health orders and mandates for every community outside of Long Beach and Pasadena, which each have its own public health departments. It is not currently clear if either or both will take up the same mandate and timeline, though historically each has usually aligned with the LA County DPH on public health matters.
The incoming public health order is set to be more formally announced this week and will take effect on October 7. So far, the public health order does not mandate proof of vaccination or a recent negative COVID test for indoor restaurants (it simply “strongly recommends” it), though more than a few businesses have already begun to make such mandates on their own. More on this as it comes.
I'm going on one in December and I'm so excited but I don't know what to expect. We are going Royal Caribbean to Mexico for 4 nights!!! Quick questions:
Anyone searching for a home today knows full well the pickings are slim. The supply of U.S. homes for sale is near a record low, and the gap between supply and demand is widening.
The U.S. is short 5.24 million homes, an increase of 1.4 million from the 2019 gap of 3.84 million, according to new research from Realtor.com.
The U.S. Census found that 12.3 million American households were formed from January 2012 to June 2021, but just 7 million new single-family homes were built during that time.
Single-family home construction has suffered from a severe labor shortage that began well before the pandemic but was then exacerbated by it. Supply chain disruptions in the past year have pushed prices for building materials higher, and as pandemic-induced demand soared, prices for land increased as well.
While new household formation is actually slower than it was before the pandemic, homebuilders would have to double their recent new home production pace to close the gap in five to six years. A new household can be either owner-occupied or rented.
The supply of homes for sale is near a record low, and the gap between supply and demand is widening as homebuilders struggle to keep up.

I wish there would be a federal investment in housing so that we can reach an equilibrium in supply and demand. This inventory shortage is destroying people in coastal cities. How do you think we can fix it?
I know there are a ton of laws in the books all over the US, that are probably very dated. Like dumb laws that would make absolutely no sense today. I found an article that lists some of the dumbest laws still in effect to this very day. Some of them are quite laughable. My favorite, probably being the one where it's against the law to harass bigfoot in Washington. It's the first one on the list, and hands down is my fave haha.
It's illegal to collect rainwater in Colorado. Some of my other favorites on this list are:
A pickle is not a pickle unless it bounces - Connecticut
Chickens are not permitted to cross the road - Georgia (Quitman)
No false promises allowed - Louisiana
It is prohibited to frighten a baby - Missouri (Mole)
Drinking of milk is mandatory - Utah
it is prohibited to catch a fish using a lasso - Tennessee (Yeeehaww, I caught me a fish with ma lasso I did) lol
No one shall participate in a duel - Ohio
What are some of your favorites? And what are some other laws not on the list do you think should be changed? Also find the full list of 50 laws below.
A friend of mine has this awesome sister I am very into. We all hang out sometimes, and I think she's hilarious, sexy and smart all rolled into one person. But.... she happens to be one of my best friends sisters. I haven't told my friend about this either, but I've considered asking her out on an official date, but I don't know how my friend would take it. Should I just be flat out honest and ask my friend if he has my blessing to ask her out? Or should I just ask her out without asking him? We're all adults, but still, I feel like I'm kinda stabbing him in the back if I don't at least let him know.
Do you guys have anything you do as a hobby? I have always liked photography and have gotten more into it lately. I also do some drawing here and there even though I'm not great at it lol
I heard about a college teacher (I believe it was at a college though it may have been a high school) who asked a room full of students, most of which were white, a simple question. He asked if the students were alive in the time period where slavery was acceptable, would they disagree and oppose it. Everyone raised their hands to show they would. He then asked if they would share something about themselves that goes against society's norms and would cause most people to look at them differently, hate them, or completely shun them from society. None of them could do it.
The point he was making is that most people today who believe they would oppose something like this would go along with it because they seek to be acceptable in society. They would not be willing to risk anything for someone else's safety or comfort. They are not free-thinkers but do-as-I-sayers. I reflect with this story heavily on the white liberals in the US who go out of their way for BLM and other black causes, they want to make it known to everyone that they stand for black empowerment but they do so only because it is considered to be socially acceptable (and heavily encouraged) in today's social climate. They are doing it for themselves, not for us.
A group of rats were given an endless supply of food, water, and everything else they needed. They didn’t have to fight for anything. They had their lives made easy. After a few generations of having all their needs met (counteracting their instincts of survival), they started fighting and killing each other, some stopped reproducing, some would groom themselves to perfection, some even became gay. It was declared to be “behavioral sync”. The anxiety and stress they would normally go in and out of was removed so it was bottled up within them and eventually exploded.
One thing to note is that laboratory rats do not inherit information like rats would in the wild. So a baby rat would learn from its mother what to eat, what not to eat, how to survive, what to hide from, and so on. Lab rats are limited in their knowledge of all these things after just a few generations.
I feel like, for a lot of people, this is what life has become. Because life had been made so easy for them (compared to the contrast of the past and how life was all about survival), they started focusing on self-pleasure and nothing more. This is why anxiety, depression, anger issues, violence, boredom, purposelessness, and so on are so rampant among young adults and teens today.
Just some stuff I was thinking about that I wanted to share.
Tech implants like chips under your skin, or maybe robotic parts. I doubt we're close to advanced tech implants yet, but I'm sure we're close to some crazy ideas. I imagine most are chip related currently, and maybe some robotic limbs. Those seem to be becoming more realistic by the day.
Would you ever get a tech implant if it was to help your body in some way? I would love to have robotic eyes, or eyes where I can access the web. That would be awesome. Also, maybe something to do with the ears to heighten my hearing.
I don't know if anyone here is into pro wrastlin' but my boy Big E finally cashed in his money in the bank briefcase and defeated Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship. I've been a fan of Big E since he was originally Big E Langston. I loved his original theme song until they kinda butchered it. Anyway, he finally won his first heavyweight title. He had the Intercontinental title a couple times I think and the US title once or twice, I forget. But not a WWE Championship or the Universal title.
It's about damn time they put the title on him though. He's gotta be one of the most over wrestlers right now. They better not have him drop the belt anytime soon either, I hope it's not a transition title either, because I feel like it could be. Because wasn't Randy Orton supposed to face Lashley at the next PPV, but they instead pushed it to Raw instead?
Michael Jackson had one of the best voices of all time, and some of the best music ever. I honestly can't see any other artists out there today, coming close to MJ in his vocal talent or talent for music in general. He was the king of pop for a reason.
Anyway, do you think we'll ever see an artist as talented as MJ again? At least in terms of his vocal talent and style.
Post one and tell us why you picked it. You can make multiple post but each post must only have one song. Don't make me get the mods in here:

I feel like they fall into the same rules as nails. If they're not over the top they're fine but at a certain length they're just too much. I don't wear them a lot but when I have, they're always a pain to put on. I don't know how some girls have them in their daily routine lol What do you think?
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 businesses that are race-labeled, they are most likely to go with what they identify most with. So in a way, I feel like this is a double-edged sword and it is going to hurt black-owned businesses and companies.
And then I think back in history and this is what the Nazis were doing to Jewish businesses and it really makes me wonder what the agenda is here. Like on the surface, it seems like a good thing but when you look at the entire picture, it seems like there is a dirty motive here. I am already convinced they want to destroy all smaller businesses. They only want big corporations owning and running everything so we will be forced to live under the boot of corps who will bend the knee to big government.
I'm not shocked and what not as it was time for him to go and they need to stop the bleeding. They name Donte Williams the interim, let's see if they give him a permanent shot in the big chair.
So many people want Urban Meyer to take the job but that boat has already sailed away.
What's TD's thoughts on this? Any of you sad?
What do you think SC has to do to get out of this funk? Call Lane Kiffin?
