Black family? It's not too late to get in on the crypto wave. Don't be left behind like when master card and amazon went public. Hold on to $200 and watch it grow. No I dont have a Ref code I want you to use..What I DO want is more of MY ppl to buy or mine crypto. The government won't ban it like China did. The US won't leave that much tax revenue on the table and just walk away.

I heard a while back, that Spotify doesn't pay artists a whole lot. I don't know if that's true or not. But how much do artists tend to make through Spotify? How much does Spotify get from artists?

I imagine big stars probably get paid in other ways, but the smaller, indie stars, are they making good money when their music is played a ton? I feel like the more plays you get, the more money you should be paid right? Does Spotify play based on total play count? How are they even paying artists, when anyone could listen to a catalog of music for free anytime essentially?

Honestly, I kinda want to see that happen. He'll probably be a grandpa by then. Could you imagine, the first grandpa to play in the NFL. But, I doubt he will play that long. He even thinks that won't happen, but he also said that he doesn't want to end up retiring and regretting that decision. I could see him hitting 50 though. But 55 is a little bit much. But, I would like to see it happen. What about you?

I've dated a few women who I think weren't really that invested in our relationship. One girl I dated, I swear she dated me to just get back at an ex, and once he came back to her, she broke it off with me. I also dated this another girl who I was really into. We dated for a few months, and then she just broke up with me. Saw her a week later with this dude at a bar and that was it. I get a text from her the same night, apologizing for it, and saying that she really likes me, but she's just seeing what's out there for now. But, we start to text again, and it got sexual pretty fast.

I assumed she was just on a date, but a week later, I go to the same bar again and she's there with the same dude, making out and everything. I realized, she was just keeping me around in case her current relationship didn't work out. The same night, she texts me, asking what I'm up to. I didn't respond. She got a bit annoyed by that, and called me a bitch and that was it.

Has this ever happened to you? Where you're really into someone, and you think they are too, but it turns out to not be the case and they're just stringing you along as a backup boyfriend if her current one doesn't work out.

I did that once. I just walked in and didn’t feel like waiting, and dude was like I got you right here playa! He pushed my line back so far, you could see what I was thinking. That’s when I learned a valuable life lesson that can be applied to many situations…. “I would rather have no haircut, than a bad haircut.”

The bad thing is my barber ain’t ever there. I hate him, but I need him though.

If this keeps up, how soon do you think it will take before it's un fixable?

I have used a lot of cheaper items that turned out to be decent. USB sticks and gadgets, chargers and wires, and things of that nature. I feel like for certain things, you can get away with going cheap but in many cases, you do get what you pay for. Have you ever got something tech-related that was cheap, knock-off, etc. that ended up being solid?

I see Nicki Minaj’ appeal as a pop star but as a rapper she consistently has the weakest elementary bars in rap.

B-b-b-b-b bad bitch central
Check my credentials
Motherfucking right it's Nicki on the intro
And I'm even bitchier when I'm on my menstral
You ain't even got a credit card for incidental
Basic insurance and it don't include dental,
Dental, dental, yes bitch I'm mental
Plus I'm in the big boy and it's not a rental
Shit ain't sweet unless it's the Presidential
Y-Y-Y-Y-You a mut
Tell her quack quack, she a motherfucking duck, goose
She a saturday night live, spoof
One thing the coupe never got, roof!
Yeah I took the spot she gone, poof!
Me and KC, deuce!
Stay fly, you can call me "have a safe flight"
And my wrist froze, stage fright

She says these weak ass duck duck goose rhymes with so much conviction too.

Bad b- want a bad boy (come on)
Word to Biggie, Diddy and Mase (woo)
Whoa, like Rob, won't find a prettier face (let's go)
He gon' keep my VVS's dancin' like Total
So I could just shine while he shoot up the place
Raspberry, cherries, and berries, I'm edible
Do these b- like a library? Done read 'em all
My body smokin', come get a pull
Lucky charms on my anklets, no, not cereal
Jesy, we got all the jelly b- acting real messy
Still a bad b- whether I'm sporty or I'm dressy
I don't know why I got these dudes acting zesty
But I only want a bad boy as my bestie

It’s disrespectful to call her one of the hottest female MC’s in the game. She spits straight up pop bars and if she wasnt eye candy no one would be giving these bars praise.

I'll go first. I named myself after Jester Hairston's character on the hit television show "Amen".
Login to view embedded media Out of respect to Mr. Hairston, I changed the spelling of "Rolly" to "Rollie".

Sure, the dominant society wants black women to get abortions, which is why it is readily available in black communities, but do a bunch of Planned Parenthoods in the neighborhood mean black women are required to get them?

This could be a wrong perception, but this seems like a hot button issue. IMO if a woman wants an abortion, let her get an abortion. She might regret it and she might not.

I know I might be getting a little out of my lane on this one as it is a hetero issue and I am a Homo but I'm curious as to people's thoughts.

The fact that Black people were once the only race on the planet, it's not unthinkable to think they didn't inhabit every or at least explored most of the land on this rock. I've always known that the "native Americans" didn't just pop up out of nowhere (like how the Asians believe they got here) the base for all humanity, to its core comes from a Black man and women.

I think it's good to have high standards, but you have to be honest with yourself. If you feel like you wouldn't date yourself, then maybe you should reevaluate what kind of expectations you have for others. Your standards are too high when you're asking for something you are not able to give to someone else, or to yourself. What are your thoughts?

I want to appreciate Apple and use their products, but I can't come to terms with the fact that their products are just too expensive. I get that their products are priced that way because it's Apple. So for some reason, they feel like they can overprice their products. I feel like a lot of Apple Macbooks or Macs in general are overpriced for the specs they have. I mean, couldn't you buy a Windows PC with the same specs for much cheaper?

I wouldn't know, because I never purchased a Mac, but I assume that they are priced the way they are because of their name alone. I could probably custom build a PC with better specs for cheaper.

iPhones are another story. Because you can always get a contract plan and get the phone for cheaper or even free depending on how long you are on a plan. But not with the Mac or their other devices.

I just never agreed with the pricing they go with. If they priced a bit more fairly, I would maybe get Apple products more.

Brett Favre must return $828K in welfare funds to Mississippi or face civil lawsuit, state auditor says

Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre must return $828,000 that he received from welfare funds, according to a statement from Mississippi State Auditor Shad White. The funds were supposed to go to families in need. Favre received a total of $1.1 million in funds from two non-profit organizations, whose owners have been indicted on federal and state charges concerning their alleged role in the largest embezzlement scheme in Mississippi history.

Favre isn't facing any criminal charges for his involvement, but if he doesn't repay the money within 30 days he will face a civil lawsuit, as will Favre Enterprises. White announced that Mississippi Department of Human Services former executive director John Davis isn't so lucky, as he is currently awaiting trial on embezzlement charges related to the scheme.

Fun fact: I grew up in Mississippi and used to pass his house all of the time on my to Hattiesburg. I once saw him cutting his lawn riding on his riding mower.

A key point in my spiritual journey was uncovering my childhood vows. The deeper I got into myself, the clearer the rest of the world became. It was really kind of amazing.

The big revelation for me was that every defense mechanism I made actually brought to me the very thing I created the defense mechanism to protect me from. This was groundbreaking LOL. Then I started to recognize the same phenomenon in the world.

White supremacy (for ex.) is nothing more than a collective defense mechanism and it brings to the white collective all the things it was created to defend against. Insecurity, lack, chaos, inadequacy, fear, superiority complex, etc.

So, when I think about Reparations, which is basically the end of white supremacy, and how hard white people fight against or to ignore it, it makes me think about how insane I must be in some area of my life. An entire collective of people is fighting to the death against their own freedom. It's mind blowing.

Makes me wonder what "blessings" am I blocking.

most of these "Anarchists" come from suburbs outside of Portland, like most of the police who work in the city don't live or come from the city.
the "Anarchists" come here and destroy shit because they know the police aren't going to do anything.

With the recent outing of Jon Gruden for being a racist douche, it made me wonder if more staff in the NFL will be outed. I mean, the fact that Gruden sent some of the offensive emails back 10 years ago, signifies to me that there were people working with him that allowed him to do it. When are those people going to be outed along with him?

I think this is going to result in more staff being outed as racist, or either sexist, homophobic, etc. Who could you see being outed next? I'm sure there's a lot more than just Gruden.

Blind dating weirds me out, so I don't really think I would ever do it. I know it's kinda shallow to say, but I like to know who I am talking to before I meet them. But, what about you? Would you ever attempt to do a blind date to meet someone? Have you ever done blind dating? How was it? Did you meet anyone of interest or was it a bust?

They stay on code.

This topic was inspired by the recent topic about William Shatner going to space. I remember hearing about the possibility of humans colonizing Mars, and that we could be doing it sometime in the 2020s I think it was. Would you join the cause and colonize Mars with a group of other humans?

Honestly, I don't know what I would do. I would probably want to stay on earth. But, I think it'd be cool to make history as one of the first colonizers of Mars. But, the con of going to Mars, is, Mars lol. I can't imagine living on Mars would be fun. But, it would be interesting for sure. I'd want to go investigating the planet to see if we can find any sign of previous life.

What about you though. Would you help to colonize Mars?

Just dropping an album suggestion if you've never heard of him by the way.

That wake up call about to hit all of them one way or another
