Definitely. Not everyone can rock a bald head. Yep. Cut close evenly is better than patches of nappy azz hair crumbled up on a dome. Sh8t looks more ridiculous than mishaped bald head. Nah bro...Cynique @aka Contrarian are in agreement on Gayle's fitted auburn hats. That's mainly because I prefer natural women. No fake hair or too much make-up or windshield wiper eyelashes. I don't wanna wake up next to a surprise when a woman takes that crap off. She probably doesn't want to get shot.

Unless that hefty fee was greater than her CBS contract, it doesn't make sense to jeopardize the loaf of bread for crumbs. Clearly the auburn wig lady has no idea of what it means to be an astronaut. I guess delivering the news only requires being smart enough to read the notes. If she loses her *job*, the saving grace is that she's already a multimillionaire and her BFF is a billionaire. I certainly appreciate whenever you choose to drop in and spill the tea.

Right. Nowadays, more Black men are willing to let hair go rather rock a half-fro or a receding hairline that makes their forehead look ripe for beach front properties: The late Sherman Hemsley had a half-fro. Mr. Pudding Pop has beach erosion happening around his hairline. I see condos in his future. A good barber can solve that sh8t in a matter of minutes.

Quality goes both ways relative to the participants. The same snatch box I consider trash could be solid gold to another dude. The same dude who was punishing one woman's box might be a lame to another woman. Quality is subjective because there are no benchmarks. The Baby Boomers thought Gen-Xers were going to take the world to h8ll in a handbasket. It didn't happen. Whatever Gen-Xers think of Millennials wont matter either. Rep. Jasmine Crockett and them will be just fine. Right. Technology doesn't lie. Every generation improves upon it making life a little bit easier than it was for their predecessors. The blessing and curse of Back progress. Folks don't need each other as much ss they disld back in those decades. However, there's no decline in the Black population. It has steadily grown. Folks still bumping and grinding. Definitely not projecting. Just paying it forward for younger dudes who might be reading. Backxl in the day, the OGs taught us that chasing snatch box doesn't make any money. But, chasing money will bring plenty snatch box. I have found it to be true. It's all good. There's no shortage of women for the streets willing to entertain them too. Absolutely. Thd knowledge is free. Their choice in how they choose to apply it. As long as those n8gglets stay in their lanes...it's cool. The late NF Jr. was adamant that Black folks had no business having fun as long as there are problems to solve. S8x, drugs and alcohol aren't solving any problems. In fact, those habits seem to cause more problems in one way or another. My compensatory definition of arrogance is a false sense of superiority using words and/or actions to degrade, demean and/or belittle others. My compensatory definition of confidence is a strong sense of belief in one's knowledge, skills and abilities to achieve and/or accomplish their goals.

Yep. Like Can't Get Right from the movie Life. Right. Their family or the government or something else was after them. Cuckoo birds. Beyond the exceptions we mentioned above, the largest population of homeless folks have a drug, alcohol or mental problem. It was comical listening to a well-spoken, clearly educated Black man and seeing him out of place among the rag-tag crew he kicked it with on the streets. A few decades ago, I remember one such guy who had a pension. He had two beautiful, successful adult daughters. He could have lived with either one of them on a condition...stop drinking. He refused. The daughters had to find their dad every month to give him his own money. I'm sure he spent it on his *friends*. I would be surprised if he's still alive now. Not clownish or silly to the point of not being taken seriously. A combination of intellect and a sense of humor. I can find the funny in d8mn near anything and use it in every aspect of life. Yep. The late Paul Mooney was one of my favorite comedians. He wrote for the late great Richard Pryor too. The best comedians are often highly intelligent too. They draw from a wealth of knowledge and information and observation to make the world around us...funny. I believe music and comedy make the world a better place.

Whether it is genetics or physical fitness or a combination...Black don't crack. It's hard to convince some older Black folks to embrace their naturally good looks. From refusing to give up thinning or straggling stands of hair in favor of a neat low cut or a bald head, some Black folks are too self-conscious to embrace a new, better look. The coolest part is when a person does embrace a new look and wishing they had done it sooner. Positive encouragement goes a long way in older Black folks still remaining fly and fabulous. IMO, no other race of people can pull it off so well.

Sure. S8x is not one of those things. Plenty money can provide unlimited access to it though. Every generation sees something off or wrong with those coming up behind them. Most humans have to be trained in discipline. That's why the military puts recruits through boot camp. Tear down and build up. Mainly because it's not the most important in the grand scheme of things. Again, that all night energy would be put to better use making money. The man who figures it out fairly quickly that being on his grind and purpose will enrich his life and he will be in a better position to enjoy the fruits of it. A woman who places high value on s8x is for the streets. Temporary escape. Drugs and alcohol do the same thing. When the fun is done their problems remain. Solving them would be more valuable. Again, it's temporary. Never to develop into anything else. For the parties satisfied with that arrangement...it's all fun and games until somebody gets the short end. Surely, we can put a price tag on unhappiness especially when folks are broke. Same thing. Grave-digger blows the back out and puts her to sleep. Many women will have to settle for a weak or broke azz dude because high value dudes aren't a dime a dozen. Beta dudes and simps are abundant like goldfish. Sure. Depends on who's delivering the opinion and their level of self-esteem and security or lack thereof. Otherwise, confidence and arrogance can be clearly defined and separated.

True. I have met people of all races who chose to live a life of homelessness rather than conform to society. The mental problem folks are in a different pot altogether. But, there are some interesting characters walking around amongst us who have chosen to live off the grid for their own reason(s). One of the benefits to being a natural-born clown/comedian is being friendly, fearless, approachable when it comes to meeting people. Makes it easier to collect comedic source material. Of course, it also helps to have a solid frame too. I've met some people who the world would see as bums having no idea of these folks are former scientists, doctors, engineers, professors, doctors, lawyers, etc. They literally dropped out of society.

The factories and data centers would be built here. The current administration is supposedly trying to bring that work back to the US.

Sure. Men go to war. They fight and kill each other. But, an alpha-male doesn't fight over women. Beta, delta and gamma males do. Being an alpha-male has nothing to do with the confidence of women. I'm not sure of how that's relevant to the definition of an alpha-male. Arrogance is often misapplied to confidence. There's a difference between a man telling folks he's a boss (arrogant) versus having them see and respect it for themselves without him saying a word (confident). Attracting women is a natural thing for alphas. They have no reason to be confident, arrogant or cocky about it. Nobody really wants to be around an arrogant person. Being an alpha-male isn't a negative. It merely reflects how he deals with other people and how they interact with him.

Skilled tradespeople will always be needed to build, repair and maintain facilities and structures including the factories that are coming back and data centers that need to be built for AI, clouds, cryptocurrency and other digital repositories. Definitely. Most forms of white collar jobs will disappear. Law enforcement and the criminal justice system thrives on feeding the prison industrial complex. Those jobs will always be around too. In fact, at some point in the not too distant future, warehousing large numbers of people in prison cities around the world could be cheaper than allowing them to be free. Reads like a movie.

Maybe so. But, that energy is put to better use making money. A well disciplined man knows how to use his testosterone efficiently. Not really. He's easily replaceable. Especially when a man with more money shows up. Value is substantive when it comes down to money. Fun and games don't count. A child doesn't know any better. An adult should know the difference between bubblegum and BS. Women for the streets are fine with getting their backs blown out up to a certain point. A quality woman wants more than a grave-digger. When a woman wants real life sh8t...house, clothes, shoes, handbags, jewelry, transportation, vacations, etc., they're going to look for a man who can sling money and drop the hammer.

Yep. Every time I see those hats my mind wonders what lies beneath. Chaka Khan definitely looks great at 70 years old especially considering the life she's lived. She also happens to be my favorite singer hands down. Oprah has kept herself up and down relatively well too. She's been through more than enough weight loss programs and gym memberships. I doubt that Stedman or Gayle cares aslonfg as their books stay stacked. That's hilarious. Katt is a whole fool for that one.

For a lomg time, the US could support a population pursuing enjoyable vocations regardless of how little money they got paid. Those things were mainly meant to benefit well-off people i.e. folks who didn't have to work in order to survive. I still believe the US will have to come up with a Universal Basic Income (UBI). Otherwise, unemployment is going to higher than giraffe snatch in the future when AI and robotics take the jobs.

That is exactly why most foreigners stress and focus on STEM subjects. They don't get bogged down in what they consider useless information and pursuits i.e. fine arts, liberal arts or science fiction, etc. These people are trying to win in terms of building a better life for themselves. Those people don't give a d8mn about the future of humanity. They know that our time is finite. It's best to encourage children to develop their STEM skills. They will always be able to find a good job if necessary. Some humans require more motivation than others. But, I don't believe taking the easy road is a human trait. Survival of the fittest always prevails whether it is a slow, long and drawn out demise or quick.

Probably so. All of the capital she built up buying wigs, clothes and make-up would fly out of the window if her head looked like Yoda. Instant buzzkill. The Eartha Kitt reference was a joke. I have to do a better job of delivering my comedy material in this room. You guys are way too literal and serious and miss the punchlines. No doubt. Gayle is rich enough to buy all types of stuff to make her look great at 70 years old.

S8x is a recurring theme in your posts. Most women do not place as much weight and emphasis on bumping and grinding as some men do. Women think the same thing of a man as described above whether he's a world leader, CEO, worker, bad boy or gangster. They still would prefer to have those traits in him. A women doesn't see that man as a high value. He is one step above a s8x toy. He's a play-thing. She's not going to want to marry or build a life with that man. He's temporary. Those are women for the streets. They aren't high value themselves. Not always. But, talk to a bunch of women. Ask what they want/value in a man. Wait for the answer(s). Don't interrupt.

The funniest part about the scene was how she looked after taking off everything that made her Lady Eloise. Right. The best thing to hope for is that it doesn't require a trip to the auto parts store: Same here. When women my age and younger are attracted to me, they roll their eyes when I inquire about their mom. It would be cool to cross paths with and have a conversation with Gayle King. Still, my 1st question would be what's up underneath that fitted hat.

Most people in society are of average or less intelligence. Most problems and addictions are self-inflicted. Has little or nothing to do with the complexity of society. Some people have to work harder to get things done if they cannot work smarter. If a person of average intelligence or less can make money illegally, they should be able to apply that energy/effort constructively. There are still 24 hours in a day and 7 days in a week. The average person only requires 8 hours of sleep per day. That leaves 16 hours per day to make money. Even if it means working several jobs every day of the week. Mental and physical laziness and bad habits are the main reasons people don't have enough money. There's no shortage of ways to make money in the US. One has to be willing to work harder or smarter or both. Then, the question often becomes....if I'm working every waking hour, every day of the week to make ends meet, when I'm supposed to have *fun* and enjoy the fruit of my labor. The short answer is...you're not supposed to have fun and enjoyment until all ends are met and there is time left. That is a disheartening reality for many people. It's similar to the choice between getting rid of a bad habit or putting in the work to lose weight or remaining obese. How badly a person wants the gains in life will determine the level of energy/effort they are willing to put into making it happen. Exactly. We either adapt or die. The latter is inevitable.

Sure. Women have to play with lesser men for *fun* mainly because alphas are 1) harder to find and 2) not going to put up with the emotional sh8t women bring. Money doesn't make women in the way that it does for men. So, no matter how much money a woman has, it doesn't change her fundamental needs, wants and desires in a man. Women would prefer a high value man. Many of them are not qualified to have him for one reason or another. Those women are better off with lesser men. The funny part is women will cheat on their lesser dude with an alpha for FREE.

The older and disabled prisoners are most likely housed in another unit at the facility.

Slavery generated an untold amount of wealth for white folks. 400+ years of free labor adds up. That white man would be the exception. Plenty white folks living at or below the poverty line. White folks have status classes among themselves. All white people can benefit from the privilege of their skin color if they choose to take advantage of it. Something NF jr. would have said, a homeless, dirty white man can shave and shower and put on clean clothes; get a job and he'll be a supervisor in less than 30 days.

Hopefully she doesn't look like Lady Eloise in Boomerang: You don't wanna make this exit: Gayle's gym membership might be keeping her body tight. Wouldn't be a good look for her to be sagging and jiggling like jello underneath those expensive clothes.

Looks do not matter when a man is an alpha. Everything else makes him attractive to women. When you see an ugly dude with a dime piece throwing herself all over him...he's most likely an alpha. An alpha-male doesn't have to fight another dude because his wife will handle that situation before it gets out of hand. Nope. An alpha-male doesn't operate on emotions. They don't. An alpha-male has far too many choices than having to compete over one. Confidence isn't the sole trait of an alpha-male. There's no female on the planet worthy of competing in the mind of an alpha-male. Again, he has many choices.

Gayle King appears to have kept herself up well. I'd be curious to see what Gayle's real hair looks like underneath those fitted hats i.e. wigs she likes to wear.
