Since COVID-19 hit in 2020, a lot of people became regular online shoppers. I have been online shopping for most things (outside of groceries and things like that) since like 2010. I love it. It is convenient, easy, and more often than not I can find better deals online. I noticed though in the last few years, especially since last year, I am running into more and more issues. My packages go missing, I get sent the wrong items, items arrive broke, orders get canceled... I can go on and on. It can be a real hot mess ordering online sometimes.
What are some bad shopping experiences you have had with online shopping? Feel free to put the store on blast for it.

I currently use Vivaldi, it's pretty clean, customizable and fast. I used to swear by Chrome and Firefox, both seem to slow down after a year or so. I've been using Vivaldi for a while and won't use anything else.

These fools had a gamer drink a coke and it made the characters in the video game stop fighting and come together. Ok that sounds stupid but then they pan out and insinuate that coke will bring us altogether.

LOL bruh when you got to Woke, Inc as your marketing consultant.

One of the most anticipated albums this year...not the biggest Mars guy but I like what I've heard so far.

34 Years Later, Sankara's Murder Trial to Begin in Burkina Faso
The long-awaited trial for the murder of Thomas Sankara - assassinated in a coup d'etat which brought exiled former president Blaise Compaore to power - has been set for October 11, military prosecutors have announced.

The proceedings, which will be held in public, will begin at 9am local time. It has taken 34 years for the case to finally come to court. Guy Hervé Kam, one of the lawyers representing families of victims, told RFI it was a victory and "a time for truth" for the families.

Compaore and 12 others face charges of harming state security, complicity in murder and complicity in the concealment of corpses. Among those accused alongside Compaore is General Gilbert Diendere, Compaore's former right-hand man and a former head of the elite Presidential Security Regiment (RSP) at the time of the coup.

Now 70, Compaore currently lives in Cote d'Ivoire, where he fled after being ousted and where he has since taken citizenship. Unless he chooses to present himself for trial, he will be judged in absentia.


I really hope France gets held accountable

Gerald Albright

Chris Botti
George Benson

There has been rumors of a remastered Grand Theft Auto trilogy coming for a while now, but Rockstar just announced it today.

I used to consider GTA III as my favorite GTA until San Andreas came along. But Vice City also has a fond place in my heart. I grew up with these games, so to see them remastered would be fun. I just hope they actually remaster it full on and not just make it look fresher graphic wise. Because the last remaster they did for GTA was GTA San Andreas for the 360, and all they did was just up the resolution, but the graphics pretty much were the same. I hope these games look like GTA V at the least.

This isn't about me, but my cousin who was cheated on. He was dating this one woman who he could never get enough of. I thought she was cool, and was really nice, but about two years into the relationship, he started to notice her acting weird and distant. Her excuse was work was rough and she needed to just be by herself.

Anyway, to make the story short, he caught her texting his best friend at the time. He didn't think anything of it at first, because he had a b-day coming up, and he thought maybe they were making plans to do a party for him. But... that's not how it turned out. He saw she was texting him often and even had sent him nude photos.

When he brought it to my attention, he didn't know what to do. His best friend was seeing his current girlfriend. And I mean, these two were friends since elementary school. So not only did he lose a girlfriend that day, he lost his best friend. He confronted them, but they denied it for a while until he showed them the phone. I'm just glad things ended right then and there. I thought he was going to kill the dude, but he kinda did nothing. He did scream at them and said they were over, and that his friend was to never talk to him ever again.

Anyway, has this ever happened to you? A friend or family member sleeping with your old lady? How did you deal with it?

There has been a lot of news about trans athletes, usually male to female trans athletes, coming to play in female sports leagues. For example, there is a few trans mma fighters who have joined the ranks of female leagues, and it hasn't gone well. I don't think a man who transitioned into a woman, should be able to go in and fight a biological woman. Just because they are taking estrogen or whatever else is needed to change ones body, doesn't mean they don't have advantages yet.

Bone density and mass is a big problem, as men are known to have more of it. It's not offensive to say, but men are built different than women, and are often more physical, faster, stronger, etc. Yes taking estrogen and all these other hormones women need, will lower your testosterone and all that, and also decrease other parts of your body, but it doesn't 100% change you enough to a point where I would agree to a trans fighter taking on a biological woman. I don't think it's right, because someone is going to die eventually.

Make a trans league or something. I don't care if you want to change your sex, more power to you, but don't expect to then be able to join a women's sports league. This is why I'm all for them starting their own league if they want to. But women and men should not mix in any form when it comes to MMA. I don't much care if they join football, or basketball. Because they're not beating the shit out of each other.

Sorry for my long wall of text, but what is your thoughts on this?

just want to get a feel of the age group on the forums.

I don't know about you all but it seems a bit weird that Bill Gates of all people owns the highest acreage of farmland in the US.

In total, Gates owns approximately 242,000 acres of farmland with assets totaling more than $690m. To put that into perspective, that’s nearly the size of Hong Kong and twice the acreage of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe, where I’m an enrolled member. A white man owns more farmland than my entire Native nation!

The thought of a super-rich old white dude owning this much farmland is a bit concerning. He is up to something.

I have been thinking of getting one. I want to use it when I am walking in the park or out doing stuff just to film nature and things like that. I am not sure how much they cost these days. Everything seems to have gone up in price though!

Does anyone here own a drone? If so, you got any recommendations for some good drones (with decent cameras) that won't break the bank?

It seems like the current dating atmosphere is all over they place. So many people with ill intentions, baggage or just lack communication skills that it is hard to meet people going in the same direction you are going.

My question to you all is, “How are you dating?”

Dating today lacks any sort of structure or rules. Have you structured your dating life? Do you have rules and guidelines that you go by when it comes to dating?

Investing. At the ground floor of any functioning nation is its economy. Without a burgeoning economy to create wealth, 1st world quality of life is next to impossible to attain. Within the Black Diaspora, lack of access to capital continues to be the main cause of our inability to move forward. Due to cultural shifts within the last decade, ardent strides have been made to close the racial wealth gap in the U.S.A. May I highlight one of many contributors to economic black empowerment:

Being in the northwest (PDX - Portland, Oregon) a lot of the stuff that comes out of the south and east is hard to come by sometimes, I've seen these when Master P launched his first noodles, I had to go on Amazon and buy mine, they had all the chips already but not the noodles.
I'm not big on instant noodles but I like Master P's Hustle, always liked him as an artist as well... So I support him. ✊🏾

Anyone had these before? If so what's the verdict?
