    Who remembers?

    I remember at one point in my life, EVERY car I got in had one of these. When I was able to drive, they were already phasing out but I still had one. I still do! I just don't keep it in my car anymore. I have it under my bed. I use my iPod in the car now cause it is more convenient but still, I...

    How do you think they will use the Alec Baldwin gun incident against gun owners?

    I am sure most of you heard by now, Alec shot off a live gun on set, injuring one and killing the other. This man is notorious for being anti-gun and is basically an establishment sellout who will whistle whatever tune the fat cats at the top want him to. The fact that someone who HATES guns was...

    How do you tell a co-worker you don't wanna hear it anymore?

    I have a co-worker, let's just call her Karen (lol). Karen likes to come into work every day and go on and on about how her good-for-nothing boyfriend and his good-for-nothing friends don't do anything. She has 2 kids with this guy, unmarried. One week he is cheating on her (so she thinks) and...

    Do you think we need more black doctors?

    I don't know if anyone noticed this in their area or not but I work for a clinic and I have to tell you, there are not many black doctors around here. We have one in the entire clinic I work at and this is amongst something like 20 doctors or something. Like I have nothing against doctors of...

    What did you dress up as for Halloween growing up?

    When you were growing up, assuming you went trick or treating, what were some of the things you dressed up as? My mom did a lot of my costumes when I was a small child which I am thankful for now more than I was back then. She would ask me what I would want to be and she would make me...

    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...

    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...

    Owning a house before meeting the right person?

    I mentioned in a few other threads that I plan on buying a house next year. Assuming I get enough debts paid off, I can swing it on my wages. I am looking at getting a raise as well within the next 6 months. I was thinking about this though. Like I am going to be a single homeowner. What would...

    Do you have a 5-year plan?

    I feel like once you hit your 20s, having a 5-year plan is a good idea. It helps you establish goals for yourself and see growth and where you need to work on your life. I am curious to see if anyone here has a 5-year plan currently. For me - I am looking to pay off some debts, buy a house, and...

    What artists from the '90s were you into?

    I prefer rap and hip-hop from the '90s myself, heck even the r&b had more soul to it. I am curious to see who you all were into back in the '90s. I was quite young at the start but I got into music nearing the end of the decade and ended up going back a handful of years to find my taste in...

    Have you ever had a close friend move away?

    When I was younger, I had a close friend move away. I think if this had happened now, we likely would have stayed in touch thanks to social media, video chats, etc. but I was never able to get back in touch with her. She ended up marrying a guy in the military and goes state to state when he...

    ROMs and Emulators

    Does anyone here play ROMs via emulators? I am building up a collection of games I had from when I was a kid. My brother basically hoarded all the consoles and games as we got older and left me with nothing. I didn't care at the time but now I want to play some of the classics and I don't have...

    Are you into the holiday season or does it stress you out?

    I know some people who are obsessed with it. Like they can't wait to start putting out lights, buying gifts, and all that. I also know some people who dread it every year and are the last to do anything for the holiday. I even know a couple of people who legit go into hiding cause they don't...

    You ever get knock-off or cheap tech that ends up being good?

    I have used a lot of cheaper items that turned out to be decent. USB sticks and gadgets, chargers and wires, and things of that nature. I feel like for certain things, you can get away with going cheap but in many cases, you do get what you pay for. Have you ever got something tech-related that...

    Wired Earbuds?

    I am old school and still prefer wired earbuds. I don't care if I am living in the past, I like what I like! I am looking for a new brand/kind to get since mine are on their last leg. I have a few other pairs of the same kind but they are just cheap HTC ones. I want something that will last...

    Heating is going up this winter by as much as 54%

    You can read stories about it from various locations all saying the same thing. https://abc7ny.com/home-heating-natural-gas-oil-bills/11125338/ This is pretty bad. Like I get that not everyone knows how the systems work in the US, I certainly only know a fraction of it but what did people...

    Would you avoid moving to a spot where you know you'd run into an ex?

    There is a nice area I have been looking into for when I buy a house. I saw a number of houses in my price range that would be perfect for me. Problem is, I found out my ex and his girlfriend bought a house out there earlier this year. I don't know where but I am being put off by it now. I...

    The Great Reset

    If you are not familiar with it, I will post a video below where it is explained and what is happening now. I remember when I first heard about this, I thought "yeah this can't be for real!" but with everything that has happened in the last year alone, it really makes you think. I feel like...
