Have you ever cheated?

I think we can all say at the very least the thought crossed our minds. The last boyfriend I had, I never cheated on him even though he treated me badly and gave me plenty of reasons to do so, including planning hookups with his married friend's wife. They never did anything and he said he was doing it to boost his ego. Yeah, okay. I still think he cheated but I could never prove it. I am the type of person that would feel too guilty to go through with it so I never did. I have considered it but never could bring myself to do it.

Have you ever cheated on a partner of yours? If so, what was your reasoning?

Anyone here own reptiles?

When I was growing up, I was obsessed with snakes, lizards, and turtles. I wanted to have some by my mom never let me. She hates reptiles and didn't want any of them in her house. I have friends that own some. One has a bearded dragon and that little mf'er is mean as hell! It seems like he is a very high-maintenance pet to have as well. I started looking up different types you can have as pets and I have come to the conclusion that they are all high-maintenance creatures and I don't think I will bother with one anymore. lol

Anyone here own any reptiles? Do you think they are all high-maintenance?

Sinema’s Tax-Rate Blockade Prods Democrats Left Toward Billionaires’ Tax

Senator Kyrsten Sinema’s refusal to accept corporate, individual or capital gains tax rate increases has led Democrats to consider proposals once championed by the party’s most liberal flank.

I have put in quotes for the TL;DR folks.

What they "want" to do:
Democrats had hoped to pay for much of their social policy and climate spending with by raising low capital gains tax rates for those earning at least $400,000, lifting the top personal income tax rate back to 39.6 percent from the 37 percent level that President Donald Trump secured in 2017, and increasing the corporate income tax rate from 22 percent to 25 percent or 26 percent. That corporate rate would still be far less than the 35 percent rate that Mr. Trump slashed, while the top personal rate would be back to where it was for most of the past 25 years.

What they are saying is in the way:
But in the 50-50 Senate where all Republicans are opposed, they cannot afford to lose even one Democratic vote on the legislation, giving Ms. Sinema effective veto power over its contents.

This is a game they play where they put all these road blocks in place to justify not doing anything for the people. One minute it's the Republicans, then it's not having enough seats in Congress, and next it's a lone ranger Democrat holding everything up. We saw Nancy Pelosi get straight gangster on AOC and made her change her vote but that's not going down here? They gonna use this as justification to either gut the bill or make the average person pay for it.

It's smoke and mirrors Joe.

What concerts have you gone to?

Have you ever seen any bands/artists live in concert? I went to a 50 Cent concert when I was in my teens that was awesome. I also saw Smash Mouth against my will one time, but was with friends so it was bearable. Other than that I saw Kendrick Lamar a little while back and that was one of my favorite shows.

Black Female police officer asked to have an abortion to keep her job

Man, this world is just out of whack right now. When she was pregnant as a cadet, she was told by her superiors to have an abortion or risk losing her job. Supposedly this is an ongoing this in DC, as 9 other former and current black police officers have joined forces to file a $100 million lawsuit against the MPD.

You can read more about this below. But I hope she and the 9 other women win this.

The name of the movie is “Rust“ (a western). I guess they were still going with such an old school method of filming guns in order to have authenticity.
