    Tattoos & Body Piercings - They too mainstream now?

    Most people I know have one or both. Some have many tats or many piercings while some only have a few. I even know an older woman in her 70's who has 3 of them. I feel like they have officially become mainstream and in that sense, they shouldn't be viewed as something "trashy" or "negative" when...

    Do you have a creative outlet?

    I was reading about this the other day. How having a creative outlet could help you better cope with stress and all that. It got me to thinking about what I do. It has been a while but I used to draw a lot. I actually wanted to get into illustration and do comics years ago but I never did it. I...

    Public transportation sucks!

    It has been a while since I had to take the bus but my car recently had some issues and I had to get to work. The state of the buses in my area are a joke. They look all worn out and people on them, I don't know man they just act as they have never been around people in public before. This one...

    You think the mental health crisis will ever be addressed?

    I see so many struggles with families, it is insane. From depression to anxiety, even cases of bipolar and schizophrenia are on the rise. Then you have medical mental decline in dementia and Alzymer's. That is projected to go up 50% by 2050. Those are some scary high numbers! Seems like no one...

    Ideal companion as far as pets go?

    Most people I know are dog people. I like dogs but only certain breeds and I am fussy with them. Like I tend to only like my own. I have a German Shepherd. A friend of mine breeds them so he sold me a pup a few years ago for half price. He is a good dog. I have actually been partial to cats...

    What kind of phone do you have?

    There are so many out there these days when it comes to smartphones. I have been back and forth over the years but I was someone who never wanted anything outside of Samsung for a while. I always got the Galaxy and got a new one every few years. I recently switched and went with an import brand...

    Why are a lot of concerts for rap prominently white crowds?

    I only became aware of this because someone made a meme about Jay Z concerts a while back and then I started looking and low and behold, so many of them are just a sea of white lol Like I am all for people enjoying the music no matter what color you are but it seems strange. I don't really go to...

    Classic or modern gaming?

    In terms of what you prefer in the realm of gaming, are you more of a person who enjoys classics from the '90s and early '00s or do you enjoy modern gaming? I feel like there are pros and cons for each one but I am starting to have a preference for classics these days. I mean I grew up with me...

    How do you feel about online dating through apps?

    I feel like what was once useful is more a less just about booty calls and one-night-stands these days. I don't know anyone who uses dating apps around my age for serious relationships. They use them just when they feel like getting some and it is convenient I guess. This seems to be more the...

    Best decade for hip-hop and r&b?

    I wanted to make a poll on here for this to see what people think. Because I feel the vibe switches every 5 years with music, I wanted to have both the standard decades and the break points. For me, I feel the best era/decade for hip-hop and r&b was 1995 to 2005. I feel like things have gone...

    Income tax was only meant for the rich, so what happened?

    When the income tax was first proposed, it was meant to be for the top % of earners in the US. They were going to "tax the rich" and told everyone else not to worry. Only the super-wealthy would be giving 2 or 3% of their earnings. Then we had a war. Suddenly, they had to tax more to supply it...

    White liberals being the voice of black people needs to stop!

    When all the riots and stuff were going down, I remember seeing a video of two black women yelling at two or three white women wearing all black. They were spraypainting BLM on the side of a Starbucks and they were yelling at them to stop because they don't want them to be blamed for it. The one...

    Thoughts on LBJ?

    I was a fan of his in his early career. I thought he was a wholesome dude. Had family values and everything. I really felt like he was truly an NBA player younger people could look up to. I noticed since he went to LA though, a lot about the dude changed. The one thing that really soured me on...

    What brands do you like in terms of clothing?

    I noticed a lot of brands go downhill over the years. The quality and styles just aren't the same anymore. I tend to just find random brands I like that are more affordable and make comfortable clothing but I still have my preferences. Like for shoes and whatnot, I almost always buy Puma. For...

    What's up with the push for women to be proud and fat?

    I am not trying to be disrespectful, if you love yourself the way you are more power to you but past a certain point of weight gain... It just isn't a good look. It isn't healthy either. I keep seeing this being pushed on women, especially women of color. How is this a good thing long-term? Like...

    You guys still on Twitter?

    I left the platform. I just wasn't feeling it anymore. People argue over stupid things, act like they know it all, and cancel everything. It makes no damn sense to me. Like I used to enjoy reading through the posts but most of what I was seeing was politically charged and designed to make...

    Which holidays do you and yours celebrate?

    Over the years, my family kind of went their own ways. Once my grandparents passed away, we seem to have mostly just stop celebrating a lot of holidays. I mean we do birthdays still, summer cookouts (4th of July is a real banger every year), Christmas... But that is about it. I don't remember...

    I have been looking for some new people to sub to. As of now, I am only watching a handful of people. I used to be subbed to like 30+ channels but stopped watching a lot of them. SomeOrdinaryGamers, SomeBlackGuy, Pewdiepie, LongBeachGriffy, The Critical Drinker, and penguinz0 to name a few. I...

    Did you get vaccinated?

    Not a loaded question and don't want this to become something political. Some of my friends did, some didn't. My family is a mixed bag on the topic. Some got theirs right away, others are waiting, some don't want it at all. I was going to get mine but my doc told me to wait. I have certain...
