    Anyone else lose interest?

    I used to watch the NBA and the NFL. I was never big into baseball, hockey, MMA, or any of the other sports though but I did love basketball and football at one point. As I got a bit older, I started losing interest. I don't think I watch a full season of the NFL since 2013 and I stopped...

    When did women start preaching independence?

    I know in music, it was not always the case. There have been plenty of female singers who sung songs about love, softness, femininity, loving their men etc. but it seems like in the '90s everything switched. There was more of a focus on promoting women "not needing no man" and it seems like the...

    You think the next Switch will be worth getting?

    I am considering it cause I grew up on Nintendo and I still like a lot of the classic titles. I haven't read up much on it but I heard it was going to feature an OLED panel which should be a decent upgrade. I am just not sure if it will be worth the cost.

    Do you think kids should come after marriage?

    I know this is a traditional mindset and one that I have held since my teens. I never wanted to have children before marriage and I did a good job of making sure it didn't happen. That being said, what are your thoughts don't he subject? I know marriage is not a foolproof standard that will...

    Is it just me or are things not made good anymore?

    I noticed this with appliances, furniture, bedding, etc. and comparing it to some hand-me-downs from my mom and grandma the stuff just doesn't compare. Like I just bought a new sofa not even 2 years ago and it is flat as a pancake, makes all sorts of noise, and the fabric looks like it has...

    Have you ever done an LDR?

    I am not sure if this was a topic that was discussed here already or not. I am curious to see if anyone has had a successful LDR though. I am not talking about living within driving distance but actually needing to fly out to see each other. Like a long-distance relationship that is MILES away...

    How to tell the difference between virtue signaling and meaning well?

    I don't have a hard time with this irl but online, it can be a bit hazy. I always see white people supporting blacks and black communities but I know for sure a lot of them are just doing it to make themselves look better and feel better which is a cop-out and pathetic to me. I know there are...

    Healthy(ish) options at fast food joints?

    When it comes to fast food, I try to limit my consumption. It tends to be high in salt, fat, and other junk that just isn't healthy. At the same time though, it is convenient and in a pinch, it is nice to just be able to pick up on the way to or from work. I want to find healthier or healthish...

    Do you think toxins are to blame?

    I read a lot about toxins and their effects on the human body, brain, and hormones. We made a switch to toxic plastics as production ramped up to cut costs. Eventually importing these plastics from places like China (known for their hatred of blacks, Muslims, and gay folk). I read some studies...

    When it comes to buying gifts for lovers, friends, or family - how do you view it? (for birthdays, Christmas, and other special occasions) Do you think there should be an agreeance on what to spend? Should gift-giving come from the heart and money not matter? What about buying gifts for people...

    Favorite shoe brands?

    I feel like as a woman, I have way too many options. Us ladies can wear all sorts of styles whereas men typically only have sneakers, boots, dress shoes, and sandals. We have all sorts of different styled heels, calf-length boots, open-toe/close-toe, etc. I have a hard time sticking with one...

    Are you open to new brands?

    I think for most of us, we tend to have a few brands that we like and stick with for our tech needs. I was like this for a long time. I was always an LG, Samsung, or HP gal and wouldn't buy anything be it a phone, monitor, TV, screen, tablet, or whatever that wasn't any of those brands. I...

    How many is too many?

    In terms of someone's sexual body count, how many is too many for you to lose interest? A friend of mine stuck to a rule of keeping it under 10 and she still does manage to find men who have only been with single digits but I feel like some might be lying to her, who knows. I haven't been with...

    Pure breed or mutt/mix?

    When it comes to cats and dogs, assuming you are into them, do you prefer to go for a pure breed or are you okay with adopting mutts and mixes? I grew up with both in terms of dogs but I never had a pure breed cat before. Always wanted one but never put the fund forward to adopt one. Not many...

    Black Artists of Metal And Hard Rock

    Everyone knows Jimi Hendrix but it seems like a lot of other black artists in the metal and hard rock genres get overlooked. I listen to a bit of everything these days. I am not opposed to giving even metal a try if it hits right but I wanna find actual black artists to listen to in these other...

    Say you won it, inherited, found it, was gifted it, or whatever - If you someone had 5 million tomorrow in your bank account, what would you do with the money? I know a lot of people who would just blow through it in a few years and be worse off than before they had it while others will actually...

    What do you think the impacts are for fatherless homes?

    I recently read that America is number one in the world with 28% of children having no father in the home. It makes me wonder if this has ties to all these identity crises happening (making up pronouns, being sexually confused, etc) with the youth and all the failed relationships of young...

    Sales & Markdowns

    I thought since a lot of us are bound to be Christmas shopping, we could use a thread for online sales. I know for me, I do most of my shopping online these days. Just don't wanna deal with people or the hassle of getting eyeballed and lectured in stores. If you come across anything that is on a...
