    Universal Basic Income a bad idea?

    Remember when that Andrew Yang ran for president back in 2020? One of his promises was to give all Americans a universal basic income of $1000 a month. He of course didn't get elected and his idea didn't come to light. But, with the recent inflation and possible recession, do you think it would...

    Are we in a recession?

    I heard something recently about an inflation bill being passed by the senate. No idea if that will actually help with inflation and or stopping a recession. It'll probably result in more of a recession if anything. Or, what will happen is that this bill only helps temporarily and we'll see...

    Biden signs PACT Act for Veteran support

    Why can't our government just support the troops with anything they need? At least when it comes to medical needs, financial support etc. If I was in the military and was expected to put my life on the line for my country, why too can't they then support me in the future? This is a good step...

    Reject Your Date With One Press of a Button

    Has anyone watched these videos on YouTube? They pair two people together to see if they would be a match, but each video I have watched just results in people pushing the button right away at any sign of losing interest. I don't see how this would result in meeting potential partners, but...

    ‘Obviously a race thing’ – White woman calls police on Black man standing outside his home

    It happens way too damn much. All I hear these days is nonsense like this. I don't think we're ever going to get to a point where we're not looked at like bad people. But, I think times are changing. I feel like more people are more welcoming than usual, and I think it's the work we've all...

    Transgender Regrets Transitioning

    I'm all for people wanting to feel comfortable in their own skin. But I am against it when I hear talk about kids potentially using the likes of hormone blockers and other medication to help them in their transition to being more male or female. It always makes me cringe when I hear arguments...

    Are NFTS a passing fad?

    Would you guys say that NFTS are a passing fad at this point? I feel like it is the case, considering that I don't see this becoming as popular as cryptocurrency. Yeah it's kinda blown up recently, but I just can't see NFTs working for long. Once the government gets their hands in it, I bet...

    Do you think Kim Potter truly feels guilty for what she did?

    Kim Potter is the police officer responsible for the shooting death of Daunte Wright. During her trial, she apologised for what she did and I think she mentioned it wasn't intentional. I'm willing to bet she is remorseful, but not that she killed a man, but that she didn't get away with it...

    Have you ever gone to a small concert for a big artist?

    Nice, that's awesome! I think I heard of Sun Ra before. Pretty sure my dad was into his music some. Will have to ask him about it, he might have some records of his. Seeing a classic rock group like Pink Floyd live would be cool. It's surprising a few of the band members are still alive. Yeah...

    Is another lockdown eminent?

    Yeah, things are looking rough out there. I am seeing articles all over social media and news sites about closings and major events shutting down again. I think it's going to result in another lockdown at this point. It won't be a forced lockdown, but I think everywhere things will be close up...

    Ever use pick-up lines to woo the ladies?

    Yeah, you're better off just being yourself. I never understood why dudes had to try to use that cringeness to get girls. Maybe it works for some, but I doubt it it works that often lol. Haha I think I heard that one before. Did you ever watch one of those shows about the pick-up artists? You...

    Have you ever gone to a small concert for a big artist?

    Have you ever gone to a small concert for someone who is very famous? Maybe it was before they became famous, or maybe it was after and they went back to their roots performing at a small venue. I've see some acts in small venues, but I don't recall anyone too famous ever playing at them. Did...

    Ever use pick-up lines to woo the ladies?

    I have never used a pick-up line on a woman, but then again I'm an awkward person in some ways, so it's hard for me to meet women otherwise lol. Each woman I dated, was just me hanging out with them until things turned into a relationship. I could never see myself throwing out a pick-up line to...

    Super Bowl LVI - Who will make it this year?

    What do you think the chances of the Browns are? They beat the Ravens in a close one, but now I hear everyone on the team is catching covid, so probably going to end up losing their next game or two. Titans are looking pretty good right now. Sucks that Henry is injured. Really thought the dude...

    Think they can clone Dinosaurs?

    With all the news of dinosaurs being discovered and scientists finding DNA, do you think we are getting closer to the possibility of cloning a real dinosaur? It was a dream when it came to movies like Jurassic Park/Jurassic World, but that was all make believe for Hollywood. But we've known of...

    Would you divorce her too?

    True. Which is why he should have made sure the vasectomy worked. He could have been the full stop to a child, but with his stuff still working, and his wife then dropping birth control, it was inevitable. He just didn't know it. Idk if he will though. What I had read was that he didn't have...

    Would you divorce her too?

    I saw something on instagram, but can't find the link. It was basically a subreddit thread in AITA (Am I The Asshole?) where a man explains that he and his wife didn't want to have kids, he even had a vasectomy and still wore condoms during sex. They even discussed having an abortion if it...

    Super Bowl LVI - Who will make it this year?

    I remember when Kansas City was playing like trash to start the season. Now they're back in the hunt. Arizona would be a nice change, since they rarely make it anymore. I like Baltimore as well, they are looking great right now with Lamar Jackson killing it on the field. Those three have a...

    Do you have family that won't shut up about politics during the holidays?

    I used to get serious about politics, but when I found it was an unwinnable battle, I gave up. You can't change everyone's mind. Thanksgiving, Easter, the whole year pretty much lol Same here. I love my family, but damn can they argue a little too much. It's like every year there's an...
