Watch how Patti slays in cold temperatures...and she doesn’t even have the right lyrics...

This is why careful selection is EVERYTHING. You CAN know when they are puppies to a good degree how they will be as adults IF you know about how to select, with intelligent training and raising. You can still screw them up after by improper raising and training. This is why I teach people (and try to teach others who…

I clearly wrote “realistic” in my post. The PJs was every bit as positive as The Fresh Prince of Bel Air in my opinion.

Please, ain’t nothin’ black below 106th Street these days. lol

Yeah, she did okay, the second song better than the first where for a minute I thought she was about to lose it during the first song before she reeled it back in.

Failing New York Times, indeed.

Whoah. That mustache is medically necessary.

Vision of Love was wobbly at best (some notes were painful), but Hero sounded good. For those blaming Mimi’s age on her voice not being what it once was, she’s not even 50 yet. 73-year-olds Gladys Knight and Patti LaBelle still slay on the regular, and Aretha and Chaka still sounded close to their vocal prime at 50.

Yeah. And we need to stop watching the train wreck and demand better programming.

But shucking and jiving is so lucrative for these executives. Why would they fund realistic depictions of regular Black people when they can have niggas nig it up for cheap?

You’re right it’s an issue that they don’t even realize. I see the all Tamars, Love & Hip Hop and Real Housewives of Atlanta and think don’t ya’ll see you’re selling your credibility for some...coins. They’re getting used.

Thats the point of “reality” TV though, to be as messy as possible. If she had any sort of message or constructive reason for being on TV then she wouldnt be on TV in the first place, this minstrelry has got to stop.

I hadn’t had to look for a place to rent in seven years, so I was unaware that the Nigerian prince scam had moved to rentals. You go on Craigslist, see a listing, contact the lister, and then you get back an email with a background check application. Now, I’m not one to fall for that shit, because I want to look at a…

My mom fell for the IRS scam. Fortunately, she didn’t give them enough personal information to result in any monetary loss, but she was terrified. The red flags were there*, but she was dealing with tax issues associated with dissolving a corporation at the time, so when the “IRS” called her, she had cause to think it…

We had to take my grandma’s access to her finances away from her when we learned that her (very mild at the time) early dementia had zapped whatever part of your brain figures out when people are lying and had begun being regularly scammed out of small sums of money over the phone by some people in Russia who were…

I think not wanting to admit you made a mistake initially is an important aspect of sunk cost fallacy. Putting good money after bad isn’t just the belief that it will eventually pay off, there’s also an aspect of pride and denial in it.

“3. Don’t loan money to poor people - they are poor, and will ghost you over that $20 they had to have.”

My post didn’t mention Harvey. I’m referring to her support for Polanski.

Actually, her standing ovation for Roman Polanski is fairly explicit support for a child rapist.
