I see so many struggles with families, it is insane. From depression to anxiety, even cases of bipolar and schizophrenia are on the rise. Then you have medical mental decline in dementia and Alzymer's. That is projected to go up 50% by 2050. Those are some scary high numbers! Seems like no one wants to talk about this stuff though nor do anything about it.

I dream all the time of winning the lottery, but I don't think I would ever, even if I play it every single day, the chance of me winning is so low. But, there is always that chance that I could win. If you happened to win the lottery, what is the first thing you'd do?

I know for a fact I'd buy myself a new house a decent car, some new clothes, and of course some new toys like video game consoles and games, maybe some tech stuff. Just about everything really. :D

I might invest some into other opportunities, and I think I would also donate a lot of it to charity and to special causes. What about you though? What are some things you'd do with your lottery winnings?

Did you all hear about this recently? Supposedly a lot of creators on Twitch, most being people of color and I believe they're also targeting the LGBT community. Basically what happens, is that people will be streaming, and a mass of messages will pop-up saying racial slurs, and homophobic remarks. Twitch is being called out for not taking care of this faster, and rightfully so, there's no excuse for this taking so long.

I've started to dislike twitch as of late because of how awful they run things. I hope they block out these bots soon, because people are being hurt by this big time. And it needs to stop.

Relationships can be messy and scary, but have you ever been in a relationship where your girlfriend or boyfriend was a pain to be with. Maybe they had a hot temper, or maybe they hit you/were abusive towards you. Or maybe they were just mentally not all there and were a threat to your life.

Have you ever had a really chaotic relationship? There was this one girl I dated around 10 years ago. She was awesome at first. Kind, humble, smart, and sexy as can be. But after she finished college and got a job working as in intern, she started to become a monster. She would put me down, call me every name in the book, hit me when she was really messed up and so on. I found out later that she wasn't interning at all, she was sleeping with her boss who was giving her money to do "stuff" and she went along with it. She ended up breaking up with me to date the dude.

I never understood what had happened. One minute she was the one, and then she just changed. Like she became a new person. We tried to get back together when she sobered up, but I started to see the signs again and called it there. I hear she's doing much better and I wish her all the best, but damn, I can't date her again. No way.

Have you ever had a relationship like that?

Here in Texas it's not legal to my understanding. You can get CBD oil and gummies, but I don't think you can get it legally otherwise. A friend of mine lives in Michigan and he is able to buy cannabis no problem. When do you think the whole US will legalize it? Would be even better if they legalized it federally, but we all know they won't do that anytime soon.

I’m not talking FWB’s or girls you aren’t serious with

I’m talking girls who legit think there the only one.

Right now, after being single during the pandemic; I hooked me a Puerto Rican girl as a gf. I made a thread about it on the Coli (no free promotion). After that I been hooking up with A Salvadorian girl & a Black girl & both pushed for committment since March so I gave in.

Now I just ended up with 3 girlfriends

And brehs let me tell you I forgot how easy this made my life back then

When one act up I just have the other come see me

I sell em a dream and I met all their parents

I haven’t done this since I was 19/20 when I had more free time (I’m 29 now) but now that I’m older it’s even easier than before

My lil cousin (20) got 7 WHOLE girlfriends as of now all different colors all different creeds

White bishes be the easiest to train not gon lie

#ToxicBoys #CityBoys we in the bulding

Listen, a lot of people could save a lot of money if they knew their partner’s love language. You can connect with your partner more if you know how they like to be loved. You’re over there buying gifts when she might just need quality time. I’ll take a night indoors, phones down, talking or watching a movie with my partner before roses. What about you? Hear more about love languages here.

I have not been interested in going to college for a while. My family tells me I should go, but I've seen too many friends and family go through student debt just to attend college, so I said no. Instead I have considering doing some form of online schooling, but not through a college. I want to instead invest into sites that will teach you and give you all the resources so you don't have to attend college for years just to major in one subject.

But yeah, no offense if you do go to college. I just don't want to get into any form of debt again, as my parents had it rough when they were in bad debt years ago. And I don't want to get stuck with student loans that will take me years to pay off.

Most people I know are dog people. I like dogs but only certain breeds and I am fussy with them. Like I tend to only like my own. I have a German Shepherd. A friend of mine breeds them so he sold me a pup a few years ago for half price. He is a good dog. I have actually been partial to cats believe it or not. I do have those as well. Three of them. All males. I always liked the big wild cats but you can't own them for obvious reasons or I'd have a tiger. lol

What do you prefer when it comes to pets?

There are so many out there these days when it comes to smartphones. I have been back and forth over the years but I was someone who never wanted anything outside of Samsung for a while. I always got the Galaxy and got a new one every few years. I recently switched and went with an import brand. I bought a Xiaomi phone. Holy crap is the battery life so much better! It makes me wonder what the heck these other brands are doing wrong. I legit charge my phone every 3 or 4 days now whereas with the Galaxy, I was having to charge it every damn day.

I only became aware of this because someone made a meme about Jay Z concerts a while back and then I started looking and low and behold, so many of them are just a sea of white lol Like I am all for people enjoying the music no matter what color you are but it seems strange. I don't really go to concerts myself so I would have never known. Why do you think this is the case? Are there cases where artists attract more black crowds?

The question is pretty clear in the title and you have to pick one or the other; both is not acceptable.



Excitement - Never knowing what to expect, always something new, something novel, it can sometimes be good or bad. The goods can be super good e.g. all expense paid trip to the bahamas and as bad as you having to bail him out of jail because he was head of a drug ring, you never know.


Pros: Fun, exciting, no limits, never can be complacent.
Cons: Not consistent, you never gain stability, you never know where you stand with him, things change at the drop of a hat.


Consistency - You always know what to expect. He works, pays the bills, waters the lawn, takes care of the kids, makes love to you the same way every night, vacation once a year, doesn’t yell at you…Valentine’s, Halloween, Christmas Celebrations…everything Is the same every day.



Pros: You always know where you stand, you know the lights will be on, bills will be paid, kids will be fed.
Cons: Could lead to a boring life of monotony. You have security but could miss out on some once in a lifetime experiences due to lack of spontaneity.

In terms of what you prefer in the realm of gaming, are you more of a person who enjoys classics from the '90s and early '00s or do you enjoy modern gaming? I feel like there are pros and cons for each one but I am starting to have a preference for classics these days. I mean I grew up with me and my friends huddled around the TV taking turns playing stuff for hours every weekend. So many fun memories.

Dude got the tastebuds slapped out of his mouth and all for no reason. He could have just paid and left but noooooo that was just too much to ask.

This is such a dangerous challenge but it is hilarious to watch. I wonder how many people trying this don’t have health insurance?

Every time I watch these videos I cringe scared I’m going to see someone snap their arm trying to brace their fall. Which one of y’all trying this?

I have been looking into cryptocurrency for a while now, and I honestly think it'd be a great way to make some extra money. I want to mine bitcoin for example, but I hear it's really tough to get into, and costs a lot due to having to have a really expensive PC that can mine. And if you want more, you would need to get more PCs.

But yeah, I want to invest more, but I worry that it would result in me just losing money.

The pandemic feels like it will never end, especially with the inclusion of the delta variant which has been wrecking more havoc all over the place. It's made me wonder, do you think masks will be required to be worn for the foreseeable future? I could totally see this keeping us in these mask protocols. What do you guys think though? Do you think we'll go back to being able to go maskless? Or do you think the future will be full of forced mask wearing?

When it comes to your day off, what do you enjoy doing those days? I get the weekend off most of the time, but there are work weeks where I have a Mondy off and then a Thursday off. It's weird and I hate it. But when I get the weekends, it's perfect. I get time to do some gaming, watch movies, listen to music and mostly relax in general.

What are your days off for most of the time?

Last album Fiddy did was back in 2014 with Animal Ambition. I wasn't too into the album myself, it almost felt a bit forgettable. But I heard 2021 he was releasing a new album, but I'm going to guess that won't happen until 2022.

Do you think the new album will live up to the hype? Or will it end up being a letdown like his last album?

My parents got me a NES when I was a kid, it was a bit late, but I loved the hell out of that console. They ended up selling the console and games years later and I literally hadn't played a game from that generation since then. Anyway, a few of my friends brought over their old NES and games and man does it bring me back. I remember opening up Super Mario Bros 3 and playing that while my mom cooked dinner. And sitting there, playing those games again, brought me back. The nostalgia trip was unreal haha! But seriously, it felt great to be there.

What was a recent nostalgia trip for you? By that I mean, any kind of thing that brings the nostalgia feels coming. It doesn't have to be about video games either, it can anything that bring you nostalgia.

I feel like what was once useful is more a less just about booty calls and one-night-stands these days. I don't know anyone who uses dating apps around my age for serious relationships. They use them just when they feel like getting some and it is convenient I guess. This seems to be more the case with dating apps like Tinder vs dating websites but only older folks seem to use dating websites. At least from what I have seen.

How do you feel about online dating? Do you think it will be taken more seriously in the future? Have you ever dated someone you met on an app?

I wanted to make a poll on here for this to see what people think. Because I feel the vibe switches every 5 years with music, I wanted to have both the standard decades and the break points. For me, I feel the best era/decade for hip-hop and r&b was 1995 to 2005. I feel like things have gone downhill since Nas said rap was dead in like 2009 I think it was (might have been 2007?). Either way, music just doesn't have the same feel for me in these genres. I don't even listen to mainstream stuff anymore. Haven't in a good 10 years now.

When the income tax was first proposed, it was meant to be for the top % of earners in the US. They were going to "tax the rich" and told everyone else not to worry. Only the super-wealthy would be giving 2 or 3% of their earnings. Then we had a war. Suddenly, they had to tax more to supply it. It was meant to go back but oh no, another war? They just kept pushing this until EVERYONE was being taxed. The government continued to spend and print money and people started to ask for their gold. Know what they did? They got rid of the whole paper money = gold tender which removed the cap completely off the government to print even more money. Since the '70s, we have seen the USD drop significantly in value and it is all thanks to the government spending money that is not matched by gold.

So what does this all mean? We are being screwed and the government is the one screwing us all. You see the effects of this big-time in lower and middle-class families. They have continued this narrative for so long that people think the best solution is to tax the rich more. How about not taxing people who need their money to survive? Maybe this would result in black communities being able to be turned around and care for themselves without the government getting involved and making things worse. If the focus is always at the top, everyone at the bottom is going to be ignored.

The problem has been the government for so many years, I think people just forgot.

I think it's a bit of an acquired taste, but I am really digging their stuff. They tend to add some noise into their music, so it's not for everyone.

The pandemic hit us way back in early 2020, and it has been going on since. I feel like it's never going to end, but I'm hopeful for soon. Anyway, I was wondering how you guys dealt with the pandemic early on. Were you let go at your job like pretty much everyone else? I got let go of my work for a while, which was a burden in itself, but unemployment helped. But they could have easily helped with more stimulus checks.

Most of the time I was out of work, I tried to find online work and when I couldn't find anything else, I just gamed and watched movies.

How did it go for you starting out?
