Has anyone watched these videos on YouTube? They pair two people together to see if they would be a match, but each video I have watched just results in people pushing the button right away at any sign of losing interest.
I don't see how this would result in meeting potential partners, but it's a thing I guess. I would never go on a show like this though. Would you?
Cops never shut the door, according to state investigators. Al Sharpton joined the growing push for justice.

Another depressing story involving cops killing an innocent black woman. This time around it just seems like neglect for a human being. According to this story, she had a mental health episode, where cops were needed to help. I guess the cops intended to bring her to a psych ward to help her. Somehow she ended up falling out of a moving police car, which resulted in her death.
The police claimed that Grier kicked the door open, but that doesn't seem likely considering she weighed 110 pounds. It came back later that the door was not secured and she was not buckled into the seat. Police in turn look to be at fault here.
I know some people who have worked at Amazon warehouses and they always say Amazon is not a great place to work for. And it looks like it may be the case in New Jersey as 3 workers ended up dying on the job over the past month alone. There's no details on how any of these workers died, but it makes you wonder.
Two of the deaths occurred in the same warehouse, while another happened elsewhere.
The deaths occurred at Amazon facilities in Middlesex and Mercer counties. None of the workers have been identified.
www.nj.com
Has anyone here worked for Amazon in any capacity? What about working in their warehouses? The people I know who also worked at Amazon, never stuck around for too long there. With Amazon, I guess they really stretch you thin, so it is a lot of work. I don't think I'd ever work at an Amazon warehouse myself.
Have you been hearing the news recently about Warner Bros and Discovery pretty much cancelling everything as of late? HBO Max has lost a lot of programs, the new Batgirl film was finished, and is now scrapped and not coming out, some programming is being removed outright from HBO Max, and now there's word that the DC side will be getting a reboot to everything. Which means plans for future movies are in jeopardy.
So far The Flash movie hasn't been cancelled, as it's so far still on to release. But the star, Ezra Miller has been getting some heat due to his weird actions. I heard he attacked a woman, broke in and stole from someone's house, and has been acting weird all over the place. Some of the stuff I heard were just rumors, but the dudes behaviour is making it hard for WB and all them to release it.
I have a feeling they aren't going to end up releasing it. I also heard that in order for this movie to release, Ezra may have to an interview explaining his behaviour.
With Microsoft buying up Activision recently, it made me wonder what the future of COD will be. I heard rumors of them taking a year off in 2023, and that could still happen. Their is still a game expected to drop this year, which I believe is a sequel to Modern Warfare, so could be good, or could be shit, we'll see.
I think people are worried that MS will keep their grubby hands on the franchise and won't allow it to drop on the PS4/PS5 for example. But I guess MS says that'd be crazy as it wouldn't be profitable to keep it exclusive, at least according to the article below:
But this is also MS we're talking about, they like to change their minds often. What do you think will happen? Will MS honor their words and release it multiplatform? Or will it be exclusive to Xbox going forward?
A grand jury in Mississippi has declined to indict the White woman who accused 14-year-old Emmett Till of making advances toward her nearly 70 years ago, allegations that led to the Black teen's brutal death.
Carolyn Bryant lied on Emmett Till and got him gruesomely and barbarically murdered to the point where his face was deliberately disfigured. Carolyn Bryant Donham is the prototype of the modern day Karen. Emmett Till was horrifically murdered on August 28, 1955.
Let me remind you of the unspeakable atrocity that Carolyn Bryant caused Emmett and his family:
He was only 14 years old.
Here's a picture of Carolyn Bryant and the other racist barbaric murderers celebrating the gruesome lynching of Emmett Till afterwards on good ole Friday night. Remorse where?
I see no tears. Only soullessness.
Get over what?! There is no statute of limitations for murder. There is no valid excuse to not take Carolyn Bryant in custody and convict her of her crime against humanity no matter what they claim at this point. Looks like people will need to pull up and have 2020 style protests to get any justice in this evil racist country. This isn’t a grand jury. This is grand injustice.
Also, these racist blue demons and their soulless pals love to fine, penalize, railroad, and arrest Black people and they will even go as far as to pull up (or fabricate) old warrants or "unresolved" matters and violations to do so if they don't make up violations and plant "evidence" on the spot. It's never "too late" or "too long ago" to arrest and convict Black people. Not even rich Black people like Bill Cosby. Heck, they are still finding and arresting Nazi soldiers and anyone who aided in the Holocaust in any way, shape, or form. So what's the problem now?! It sounds like that white privilege card is working just fine right now in the system of white supremacy and anti-Blackness.
These officials and politicians have all the power yet always claim to be so "powerless" to do anything. Notice the only time that they and their Black skinned bootlicks like Fani Willis, Alvin Braggs, and Eric Adams claim to have white power is when they are proudly and outwardly putting Black people in our place and exercising power over us? What's the point of voting them in? They are useless to society and only useful to their corrupt and evil paymasters while claiming they "they tried" and are "trying" to do things and get things done.
This grand jury that declined to go after Carolyn Bryant also needs to be looked at because this is the same BS stunt that Attorney General Daniel Cameron from Kentucky was trying to pull off as he was pressuring the jury to help sabotage, throw out, cover up, and corrupt the case of Breonna Taylor and her murder. They are protecting this lying, murderous, POS racist Carolyn Bryant just as much now as they were in 1955 prior to the Civil Rights Movement. What has changed again between 1955 and 2022 except the year? What does that say about the Civil Rights Movement and the intangible "changes" like integration with and sexual access to the oppressor class, Affirmative Action that white women and Asians and LGBT overwhelmingly benefit from, and the continued oppression and benign neglect of Black people (especially Foundational Black Americans) that happened afterwards? There is so much anti-Black and traitorous corruption in our government and society that this system cannot go on any longer without imploding or people stepping in to put a stop to this.
With this grand sham ruling, they have once again officially proved to us that white supremacy, white rights to kill and commit crime, oppressive anti-Black racism, and white privilege are irrefutably real and that there is no real progress in this country. They continue to use a whitewashed colorblind MLK, songs like Sam Cook's "A Change Is Gonna Come" to shut Black people up and keep us on the "keep your head up and down as you hope and pray" treadmill, and the massive gains of LGBTQIA+, immigrants, and white women Karens as shields to hide behind when they talk about any "progress" made in this country to distract, delude, fool, manipulate, and throw Black people off our square and so that we can participate in and blissfully dance and twerk to our own demise.
I am not proud to be American in a country full of domestic racist white, non-Black, and traitorous terrorists and enablers and I am damn sure not proud to see my people oppressed without any punishment for the protected perpetrators. I cannot stand for the pledge of allegiance and say "with liberty, and justice for all" when there is no liberty or justice for us Black people. I cannot be a terrorist when I call out the tyranny and evil of actual oppressive terrorists. I can only be one of many heroes. If you try to shame me or speak ill of me for speaking the truth, then what does that make you?
Let's talk about how and why Biden, his DOJ, and his Administration absolutely refuses to do or say anything about this murderous Carolyn Bryant criminal and Emmett Till's murder even after bragging about and passing the Anti-Lynching Act earlier this year.
You know, this is the very same Jim Crow Joe Biden Administration that is also aiming to refund the corrupt police billions of dollars of our taxpayer money (Crime Bill 2.0), gutting Miranda rights, refusing to also charge Breonna Taylor's murderers for murder (not just falsifying warrants and documents), and even offered secret sweetheart plea deals to the murderers of Ahmaud Arbery?! This is why we are not participating in this corrupt system any longer and are slowly breaking away from it. Y'all say "A check for what?!" We're saying... A vote for what?!
And by the way, this demon Carolyn Bryant's own racist son, Lamar Thomas Bryant, is protecting her, so he is also complicit for harboring and protecting a fugitive. If she was Black and responsible for killing a white person, she would be under a prison.
I noticed this across several brands now. It seems like the overall quality is getting cheaper but the price is staying the same, if not getting higher. I knew inflation was affecting the prices of food but is it also hitting clothing too?
I don't buy new clothes very often which might be why I am noticing it more and maybe this has been the case for a while now.
yeah, yeah, it may never get going...but I should say if I financed a school, this is what I'd have. First, I'd make it 7-13 years old. Not HS. HS is too late. If you set the foundation early, they can go to almost any HS and succeed. English, Math, the usual subjects but these are the required things I would also have in addition:
1. Learn at least 2 kinds of code (Python and C+ maybe) 2. three years of self defense in gym class. Your kid will only bully our students once. 3. Spanish and Chinese...yeah, I know, but this is the world we live in. In America, we will be a fully bilingual country like Belgium or Switzerland in 10 or 20 years. Internationally, China is poised to surpass America as the world's biggest economy. My view, learn the language of your competition. 4. Learn how to change a tire, change oil, basic plumbing, kitchen/bathroom sink, etc. 5. FBA and African history 6. Along with the parents, work on what to and not to do or say when confronted by: police, random white folks looking for a soft target. 7. Lots of math
First, this sista is all cap. She is beautiful. Is there colorism in dating? Sure. But pretty is pretty, dark or whatever. There are tons and tons of men who will date a pretty dark skin chick. My guess? She's a bedwench and using colorism as a reason. It's all cap. Just say you wanna date white boys. Will she get white boys to date her? Definitely. Can she find a white boy who will treat her well? Absolutely. I don't know how old she is but there is very, very little chance a white boy will put a ring on that. There are 50 million married white men in America. 168,000 married sisters. It seems like a lot but its small as hell. Also, of those white men, you don't know who are average income, beta ass. The narrative is sisters who marry white men are marrying producers, ballers. I said this in another thread, it takes a WHOLE lot for a white boy making over 100k to marry a sista. He is passing over Becky, Asian and other non Black women. The numbers show this. White men married to Asian women, 529,000, white men married to non Asian, non black, 487,000.
Of those marriages to sistas, 58% end in divorce. I don't trip of these sistas, good riddance. 95% at least (and I'm being kind with the numbers) end up getting ran through, hitting their 30s and even though still attractive, won't be able to find a husband. Christelyn Karazin the queen of swirlers got divorced and can only manage to get a racist white boy as her boyfriend. No white man is marrying her again. My only issue with these types of sistas is that they actively work against black people. They openly hate on black men. And truth is they don't give a sh*t about sisters. You never, ever see the women in this space on social media, youtube programs, clubhouse, etc, EVER talk about black women killed by cops or unjustly killed like Sandra Bland and Breonna Taylor...ever. There are lots of sistas who primarily date black men but will go on a date with a white boy or latino occasionally if the 'right one' comes along, meaning he's attractive, got some paper and she's in a dating slump. Not tripping on those sistas. They primarily prefer black men but for whatever reasons (like they live in Salt Lake City for example), they diversify their dating.
Now for the men. There are two types. There are the hard core bed bucks who are the black male version of swirlers. They will not date black women at all. They date white women exclusively or all non black women (white, asian, latina, arab, whatever). These brothers hate black women. I got a homie or two from back in the day like this. Login to view embedded mediaView: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnYh_qZLXXs
There are also the other type of brothers. They will not date black American women. Ever. They date non American black women (in Brazil, DR, Africa, Caribbean). They will also date latinas or Asians. They don't really like Becky like that but may smash if the opportunity arises. These men have an issue with black American women specifically. They are still down for black folks generally. They may not join a protest march, but they sympathize with any black injustice.
Black men and women (same in ALL other races and ethnic groups) have always had internal issues. No matter what. Even in countries that are deeply patriarchal where women have next to no rights (Afghanistan, parts of India, etc), even these men complain about their women. In our great grandparents days where sisters wore white gloves, and carried themselves with grace to catch a man, the black folks complained about finding a good man or woman. Today is different. There is a visceral hatred of the other gender by a growing group of black men and women. Never, ever in the history of black people has any black women publicly called black men 'bullet bags' and meant it in the sense she likes to see us killed. Never in the history of black people in America has black women openly discuss if its best to abort black males.
Never in the history of black people in America has black men openly tell other black men to not date black American women at all or black women period. Our relationship with each other is the worse its ever been in our history.
One of the main reasons I love about this FBA, ADOS, Reparations, B1, whatever is that it isolates and ostracizes these sell outs. We are slowly seeing proof of it. Omarosa is one example. She can't get invited back to the bbq yet. Stacy Dash, still attractive, can't even smash her way back...lol. Herschel Walker is done. Can't come back. Kanye better watch himself. lol
But overall, at some point, all those people on tik tok, youtube, talking anti black dating will eventually get their negro wake up call in some sense or fashion. Very, very few winners. Especially for the ladies. Men who date exclusively white but are producers (NOT saying its fair), can get a sista later. She will look at him sideways but if he makes enough, he can cop pleas. Not nearly so with sistas who swirl hard and then start hitting the wall.
The one thing with those types of brothers who try to come back is their social media history is their paperwork so they will be ostracized and as more and more brothers who are B1 start producing, he's really ass out.
Exactly why I don’t have one of these vindictive, plotting, scheming, pompous animals in my home. It’s like having a demanding a finicky woman in the house who you cannot speak english with.
It appears to be a less severe, politically and socially 'safer' space and less intimidating climate to freely express views on this once highly toxic topic two years ago. Hmmm, we can't help but wonder why? 🤐😂
Some of us may recall how governments -across the globe, went into hyper meltdown attempting to sensor freedom of thought to prohibit the spread of life saving forms of treatment to combat THE laboratory concocted 'virus' intended to cul what they considered to be large swathes of 'useless eaters' of the global population -mostly melanated people.
Naively, in their narcissistic arrogance and ephemeral spate of beatification in assuming they'd duped the entire global population, their bubble burst sooner than anticipated when intelligent moral beings not only debunked their flawed science but also started to share their findings online, thus exposing their maligned depopulation agenda.
Fast forward 2022 and it's suddenly safe to talk about previously known cures . . . and immunity from prosecution for medical practitioners once nailed to the pale for the mere suggestion of such known treatments?!! But what of ALL those merciless preventable deaths?!! What an EVIL demonic regime presiding over us!
With the recent news this dude keeps coming down with Covid, and the constant videos showing the guy slurring his speech and being confusing as all hell, it made me think he could be nearing the end. I've been hearing a lot about his health as of late and I don't think the dude could handle another term in office if he is to win. Then again, I don't think he's going to end up winning a second term in office. I don't think Trump will win either, but I suspect we'll be seeing someone else taking office after Biden, who that is, I have no idea, but I don't think it'll be Biden, because his health is not all there.
Kids these days aren't as religious as they used to be. I like to think I'm religious, but I don't take religion as seriously as I used to either. I still will pray depending on how things are going, and I will still go to church when I have some family up. But other than that I don't really follow my religion to a t. But, how do you feel about your own children not following a religion? Would you be okay if your child didn't believe in a god?
I think I'd be okay with it, but I know a lot of my family would be disappointed. What are your thoughts?
Anyone here checked out this new show on FX & Hulu? It's about a guy who has to take over his brothers restaurant after he commits suicide. It stars the guy from Shameless, I can't recall his name. He's supposed to be some pro cook, and and when he comes back to the restaurant to take over, he tries to fix all the problems, but only continues to run into them.
I just finished season 1 the other day, and It's really good. It's odd though, it takes place in Chicago, the lead is a recovering alcoholic I believe, and he has anger issues, much like his character on Shameless. Shameless I believe took place in Chicago as well. Idk, a dumb point, but I thought it was interesting.
Check out the trailer below if you haven't checked it out yet:
A good start! This bill helps soldiers who were tasked with burning waste, including harmful chemicals and other garbage. In turn, veterans who did this type of work, often got sick with cancers and other diseases. I think I remember Jon Stewart of all people fighting for this cause years ago, the fact it took this long is messed up.
I have family that served in the military, and I hate that there are some people out there who can't get the support they need to combat illnesses they got from serving overseas in a warzone. The fact that soldiers put their lives on the line and then come home and can't get good health care is confusing to me. They served this country, the least they can do is give them health care on the government.
The drama between Deshaun Watson and the NFL continues. It looks like the NFL and Roger Goodell still want to suspend Watson, and I think there's a chance that could happen. So far though, he's still expected to start this Friday when the Browns face off against the Jaguars.
Didn't some of his recent lawsuits get dropped by the accusers? I heard something about that a while ago. But according to the article below, Goodell and company think he deserves to be suspended longer, because they got their eyes on the evidence. I don't know what to think anymore, it seems like he could be getting suspended again, and if that happens, they're looking at a year. Which means, The Browns yet again will have a rough season.
SPOILER ALERT: This is a judgement free zone; everybody already knows that the sandwich is unhealthy. It's junk food, it's supposed to be unhealthy. Just stick to the question at hand, please.
