I don't know if you all heard but they are having a lot of issues right now. There are flight attendants and pilots either going on strike or flat out quitting over the vaccine mandates. I applaud them for it but I feel like this is only going to result in what the rich people want. They don't...

https://store.steampowered.com/app/578650/The_Outer_Worlds/ The game is 67% off right now. Under $20. Thinking of giving it a try. It looks pretty cool. I remember being interested in it last year but I didn't want to spend that much on a game in the event I don't have much time to play it...

I had a video playing the other day. Wasn't paying much attention to it but I heard what this guy saying about "significant other". He explained the role of that phrase in a relationship is "sign-if-i-can't" and it deals with credit. I never noticed it before this and it makes sense. Like when...

She is among several other whistleblowers coming forward against the wrongdoings of Google, Facebook, and other tech giants. She is actually helping others with the process so they know how to be prepared if they are going to blow that whistle. This gives me a lot of hope in humanity. People...

Since COVID-19 hit in 2020, a lot of people became regular online shoppers. I have been online shopping for most things (outside of groceries and things like that) since like 2010. I love it. It is convenient, easy, and more often than not I can find better deals online. I noticed though in the...

I don't know about you all but it seems a bit weird that Bill Gates of all people owns the highest acreage of farmland in the US. Source The thought of a super-rich old white dude owning this much farmland is a bit concerning. He is up to something.

I have been thinking of getting one. I want to use it when I am walking in the park or out doing stuff just to film nature and things like that. I am not sure how much they cost these days. Everything seems to have gone up in price though! Does anyone here own a drone? If so, you got any...

I'll post a few examples below. I want to know what you all think on it. Like I think the culture in America has fractured and is dominated by self-indulgence through consumerism and greed. Relationships and marriages are failing daily, people aren't raising their kids, the government itself is...

I mentioned before that I am hoping to get my own spot and put money down on a house next year. I have been looking into options and talking to some real estate people. I don't have a lot of stuff but looking around, I feel like I am going to be so overwhelmed when I move. Does anyone have...

I thought this would be a good thread to have. A way to share news stories and talk about people who have done some pretty amazing things. I am ashamed to say I am only just hearing about the work of Mashudu Tshifularo. I want to start with him for this thread. You can read more about him...

I always liked the concept of being friends with someone first before dating them. It establishes a bond without the entanglements of lust, romance, and infatuation. It doesn't come easy though. Most of the time, you will know if you are interested in making something more or not right away and...

When I was younger, I would dress up and go door to door for candy. Standard childhood experience. As an adult, I really don't do anything. I am not into the party scene and as much as I do enjoy dressing up, I am not down to go to parties. If I happen to work on Halloween, I will wear some...

Did anyone hear about this? Someone I know mentioned it and I was looking into it more. I can't say I am surprised. What worries yet fascinates me is this mention of a "shadow economy". I always felt like there were things going on that we everyday people have no clue about. The fact that the...

I want to get my brother a pair for his birthday. He is turning 30 at the end of the month. I know he has always wanted a solid pair of leather sneakers but I have no clue who makes what and what is the best when it comes to men's sneakers. Anyone got some suggestions?

I have never owned an Echo of any sort and I don't want one in my place. I am freaked out by that thing always being there listening. My mom got one for Christmas a few years back and I talked her out of using it. Maybe I am too paranoid but I would not trust Amazon with privacy. Nor Google. I...

I am fairly traditional. I believe the man should be the financial supplier and the woman should be the homemaker. This is not to say this is how it can work out for everyone. In many cases, both people in the relationship need to work. Some women want careers as well and there is nothing wrong...

I have a small 20-gallon tank. Been keeping it going for almost 3 years now. I have some of that moss growing on a piece of wood in there, looks like a small tree. I have a few other live plants as well. I did have gravel and half soil. I am considering upgrading and getting a larger one but I...

I am. I am waiting until they are more stable though. There are some options now like the PinePhone, Librem 5, and the Pro 1X. They are just not 100% stable yet which is why I am waiting. That and they can be hard to come by. I definitely plan on my next phone being a Linux-powered one. I care...

That was almost 1 in every 2 families having their own business. I have to wonder what happened here. Now it is something like less than 8%. I also was reading the statistics for marriage and co-op parenting. At the same time, 85% of black households were married or co-opting parents. Thomas...

I heard Kyrie Irving is among many star players out there saying "no" to the vaccine. Many of them say they had covid and have no need for the vaccine or they are choosing to wait until more testing has been done. There are some doing it as a political statement as well saying they are against...
