    AI Getting Out Of Hand Already?

    Between the chats, deepfakes, voicefakes, and the art... I feel like it already is. I feel like in the coming years, people will be getting tricked into thinking this stuff is real and legit and they will fall for it. Wasn't there something in the bible about this, being deceived with your...

    No Clearer Indication

    Biden is yet again giving MORE money to Ukraine while actively ignoring Ohio and doing nothing to help those people. He should be sending that town money so those people could find a place to stay until the damages are clean. It just makes me take a step back and reminds me of all the failed...

    How much do you spend on groceries per week?

    I know some people do bi-weekly shopping while others go once a week. I do my shopping once a week. When I have the basics stocked, I was able to get a week's worth of groceries for around $65 and just yesterday, I did my shopping and the total took me back. It was $140. Prior to this, the...

    Which could you live without?

    Since we live in such a tech forward world these days, it is hard to imagine how I would spend my time without my PC, phone, etc. I grew up without having a smart phone or being on the PC 24/7 so I know I had things going on as a kid but as an adult? I don't know what I would be doing. Most of...

    Signal Removing Communications Between Non-Users

    Just a reminder. Anyone here that uses the Signal app for texts/calls, they will be removing the ability to communicate through the app with people that do not use the app. So if you use it and know people that don't, either get them on board or you will be stuck using two different messaging...

    Are you prepared for a cyber attack?

    Experts that work or have worked for military, government agencies, etc. have said that the spy balloons China had floating around were a test. Now we have them shooting down lasers off the coast of Hawaii. Many are speculating that they (China) are planning a cyber attack that can target our...

    Do you have a savings?

    Something that I noticed with what went down in 2020 and since then is that most people don't. Most people have little to nothing saved and are not prepared for much of anything. That is a scary thought. With rumors of a possible cyber attack coming our way from China, it worries me what could...

    Jill Biden kissing Kamala's husband on the lips? wtf

    ... I have no words. I mean I know she married a white dude and all but wtf? How is this acceptable? This just seems weird. I saw people making jokes about them being in a relationship behind closed doors, like they are some sort of thruple cause Biden is nothing but a veg head without being...

    They ruined Sims 4 for me....

    I loved playing the Sims. I mean I have played those games on and off since the first title. I have spent the most money on Sims 4 easily and I have come to regret it. If you haven't heard, a recent update for the game has added in chest binders and breast removal scars for adult AND TEEN SIMS...

    Physical Copies

    Do you think there is value in keeping physical copies of media be it movies, TV series, video games, or music? I keep hearing about the potential for a cyber attack that will leave millions without internet and some power grids may even go down. Always with the rumor of war but it really made...

    As a man, would you file for child support?

    A bit of background to the question. My boyfriend found out his baby's mamma is earning more than he is. He has no "real" struggle supporting his daughter but he would be able to afford better care, be able to send her to a better school, and have more money for her to do things if he was...

    Super Bowl LVII

    I didn't see a thread for it. I don't watch football these days. I kind of just zoned out on it all but I do like to watch the SB if I got nothing else going on. It is happening next Sunday. Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs going to face off this year. Rihanna is the half-time...

    You think the so called "metaverse" is going to go anywhere?

    The one branded Meta under Mark Z's re-branding seems to be losing support and being mocked. Now I heard Linux is starting up their own metaverse and I have to wonder why. I don't see this going anywhere because the interest is just not there. I think certain aspects will be good for businesses...

    Follow the money!

    I have not been paying much attention to it cause this crap has been going on between Ukraine and Russia since 2014. Probably longer. What do I care if two white nations do to each other? Well... It is quickly shaping up to be a scam. Recently, BlackRock has announced they will be leading the...

    You worried about AI?

    I keep seeing more and more come out from chat bots to AI that makes life-life pictures and videos. I feel like we are heading in a bad direction here. It is looking like in 15 years, maybe less - people will be replaced by AI when it comes to art be it music, writing, video, or painting and...

    Can we talk about all these athletes dying?

    There have been so many of them. It just doesn't seem real. I know people that play soccer (football) seemed to have more problems with this but the numbers are growing here in the states. Young, otherwise healthy men and women dropping like flies...

    Twitter Adding Long-Form Posting -why?

    This is stupid. https://gizmodo.com/twitter-blogging-tool-notes-and-articles-1849092608 They are adding something called "notes" so people can essentially make "blog posts" on Twitter. Twitter did best when the posting length was minimal. People aren't on there looking to read long...

    4th of July plans?

    I don't know who here celebrates it but my family always does a huge cookout. We have all sorts on the grill and hang out outside. This year my one uncle is hosting the gathering. He has a big property so I expect there to be even more people showing up. Especially since the covid scare is...

    Roe V Wade Overturned - Be. On. Watch.

    Regardless of how you feel about abortion, be on watch. That Antifa group is out in the streets encouraging violence. If you decide to protest, do it earlier in the day when the sun is out. Stop when the sun starts going down. Avoid areas where you see large numbers of white people wearing all...
