  1. I was influenced by TV and movies , music not so much. At various points I haven't owned a TV or I watched it infrequently. One of my favourite TV shows is the best TV advertisements. Nothing else comes close. Although that was over 20 years ago. Recently I watched the best Superbowl Ad from the last two years. Not so good.
  2. The actor Ned Beatty said something to interesting. He most TV father's are fools. I think he made the comment around the time of roots. " I shouldn't be your role model your parents should be your role model." It may have be been Charles Barkley. When being told her was a bad role model for kids. How many popular TV shows have uplifting or inspirational characters?
  3. The same reason people rubber neck. Some people love a car crash.
  4. @Troy your being discreet further solidifies my point.
  5. Every field has a language whose purpose is to facilitate communication with members and exclude outsiders.
  6. Strictly Business
  7. Jimmy Carter was asked if he was ever unfaithful, he said I lusted in my heart. I think Billy was sinning for the both of them.
  8. SURPRISING FACT The overall value of the world's cryptocurrencies has plunged about 70% to $929 billion, from an all-time high of about $3 trillion in November and $2 trillion at the start of the quarter. Meanwhile, the tech-heavy Nasdaq has plummeted about 32% this year. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jonathanponciano/2022/06/14/coinbase-lays-off-1100-employees-billionaire-ceo-warns-recession-could-worsen-impact-of-1-trillion-crypto-crash/
  9. Voyager files for chapter 11 Bankruptcy Chapter 15 Bankruptcy.
  10. Leave those without shifts the hell alone . Especially if they can't count.
  11. Ironically you are stating that on a site that Troy literally built. Troy is Black Excellence, Cynique is Black Wisdom , Mel is Black Intelligence.
  12. I am trying to free my mind. It's hard work, without any tangible success. Unless silence is considered tangible enough to cut.
  13. It's on a silver platter
  14. Stefan how come noone sees your genius and becomes your follower.
  15. Not everyone is so discerning. One would think. Or perhaps we can refashion the forum and indeed the world to Ne fats
  16. That is exactly what that means. And some of us are big enough that we can handle it. But you keep doing you. But don't be disappointed that nobody takes your well meaning intentions to heart.
  17. All my eyes are winking. I don't want to be the person who is not listening. It's is funny you should say that, today I had my eyes opened.
  18. He is pale in comparison with the other members, yet he is beyond the pale. In addition he is impaled by Cynique's rapier. Cynique Cynic - the name of the gymnasium where Antisthenes ( the founder of the school of philosophy) taught Unique - since the core meaning of unique is "being the only one of its kind it is logically impossible to modify it by adverbs such as really and quite. Definitions courtesy of OED. SLAYING and creating an appellation that is both descriptive and a warning not heeded by fools. I don't think she nice, I know she nice. Paraphrasing Flava Flav (I had to make this parenthetical statement, otherwise the prior sentence fragment...) Or phonetically Sin Nique. Roughly translated the original sin. @Cynique
