    What do you think are the keys to a successful marriage?

    I feel like marriage still has value in this world and when you are paired with the right person for you, it makes life easier and more worth living. I know there are a lot of bad examples out there and reasons why it would seem best to avoid marriage but for me, I think it is an important...

    Where do you think the best spot to live in the US is?

    In regards to states, cities, policies, freedom, wealth, opportunities, education, and all that - What spot would you say is best to live in, in the USA? I was trying to figure this out a few months ago. It seems like each area has its positives and its negatives. Like in Wyoming. Your dollar...

    Thoughts on Rihanna's shirt?

    I heard about this yesterday and only just looked it up now. I thought I would make a thread for it. What do you all think about it? What do you think her motive is for wearing it?

    What do you think is the reason behind Minecraft's success?

    I will be honest, back in 2013, I was really into this game! I would play it for several hours most days. I think it was the concept of being like virtual legos that hooked me. I was obsessed with legos growing up so I think that kind of brought back that building and creative mind I had as a...

    Tesla Robot

    Elon is losing his damn mind! This man is going to get us all killed in Terminator style! You see this thing? I am all for technology but I would legit shit myself if I saw this thing heading for me. The damn thing could deadlift me no problem. I don't know about you guys, but I am convinced...

    Examples of positive feminine energy!

    I want to hear from both the ladies and gents on this one. What would you consider to be good examples of positive feminine energy that makes women more appealing to men and generally more likable to others? It seems like not many people these days understand what true femininity is or what...

    Do you think that Mario movie will be any good?

    They released the cast for it. I am not sure how I feel about it. I grew up playing Mario as a kid and have so many fond memories of the different games on the different consoles. I still go back and play the old school ones. I did watch that live actions Mario movie they did back in the '90s...

    Do compliments depend on looks?

    Did you ever notice how compliments are taken differently depending on how the person looks? What I mean by this is that a very attractive, well-dressed man can give any woman a compliment and it will always be taken well whereas coming from someone who is not very attractive, not dressed well...

    The Church & the State Have the Same Problem

    The more I sit back and just watch things happen and watch what people do, the more I see stuff like this. What I mean by the title and the above is that the church and the state have the same problem where there are people involved that aren't out to make a better community or uplift others...

    Do you take any vitamins?

    I started paying more attention to my health when I became a nurse. I somewhat got obsessed with it as I see a lot of unhealthy people on a weekly basis. It scares me a bit. One thing I try to do is ensure my body gets what it needs. I don’t eat the best but I am improving my diet as I go. I...

    How hard do you think it is to become a successful “gamer”?

    A friend of mine has a brother, he is 19 years old. He is trying to get big on YouTube and Twitch by way of gaming. He has a decent following but nothing that could sustain him as a career. He still has to work full-time. I have never looked into this all that much. I only enjoy a handful of...

    These algorithms are controlling out lives

    This is some mind-blowing ish right here. I knew about the social credit score system in China but I had no idea we had one in the US that functions in a similar way. Watch the video. Were you aware of this happening? I am shocked not more people are talking about this. Everything we do is...

    Diabetes rates in black women nearly double that of white women – WTF?

    I will be honest, it didn’t hit me hard until I saw an article about it and looked into it more. I thought more about it myself because I work at a clinic. I see more black women with this issue than white women and more women in general as compared to men. They say your risk of diabetes...

    What are some signs it is a fetish?

    I am an open person. I have dated different types of men be it race, background, height, or weight but it is clear that there are some real weird people out there who look to fetishize these things. I have met men who will only date Asian women (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) and they were white or...

    GPU prices are still off the charts!

    I can't believe it. The one I got a few years back for my new computer was $150 and it is now selling for over $500 on Amazon! I checked other places and if they happen to have it in stock, the prices are all around the same. It is not worth that much. This has to be down to labor shortages...

    Dooms Day Prepping

    Since a few threads got on the topic of survival if ish hits the fan, I thought this could make for a fun discussion. I am fascinated with how the mind works and how humans are capable of doing some pretty insane things when their survival (or their family’s survival) is on the line. What can I...

    Best retro video games?

    I have been a fan of retro games since they became retro! I mean these are the games I grew up with. I am working on building up a library of roms because they find a way to completely wipe them from the internet (looking at you, Nintendo!). Some of my favorites include Donkey Kong Country 2...

    Do you go to yard sales?

    This is something I did a lot growing up. I would go with my mom and grandma and I had a lot of fun. My mom would give me $10 to buy whatever I wanted but I only had that $10 so I had to decide if I really wanted something or if I wanted to wait for the next sale. She also said I could save it...

    Online Privacy

    Do you care about your online privacy? This is a topic I can say I never thought I would care about up until a few years ago. I became rather paranoid with things when all these reports were coming out about how the government and the big tech corporations were spying on us and using our...

    Tuskegee Syphilis Study

    If you are not familiar, here it is in a nutshell: There have been several “studies” (experiments) run on people throughout modern history using risky drugs, vaccination, and fake treatments. This is one prime example why a lot of people, especially black people, are not trusting this...
