    When AI Thinks It Can Shukaansi

    After my pets and plants checked out early and my adopted adult male children from SSpot felt abandoned (namely @Vapour, @Yami, @NidarNidar). I figured I might not be the best caretaker for a man—he'd probably not survive. So, I took the path of least resistance and tried character.ai, thinking...

    SSpot's Adult Orphanage

    I ran an adult orphanage that collected lost boys ages 18 to 100. Sadly, I was unable to sustain funding for my philanthropic project. Demand outpaced need, and donors prioritized other causes. We had to close our doors after the pandemic. Leaving my surrogate sons unfed, unhoused, unhugged and...

    The Unspoken Obession with Horn of African features

    :ftw9nwa: I came across this video which was randomly suggested on YT. About the obsession with the Horn of African phenotype. What are your thoughts? :deadrose: I told you we don't need to speak to get mentioned. It happens organically.

    GMOs Coming to Somalia

    Keep in mind: What are the long-term health implications of consuming GMOs, particularly on fertility? I don't know about you, but this initiative seems philanthropic on the surface (attempting to reduce hunger in the global south, particularly in Somalia). Still, it doesn't sit well with me...

    Study reveals average age at conception for men versus women over past 250,000 years

    :hmm: The main conclusion - women have always chosen to procreate with older men (which isn't surprising). Though I am surprised the average age of conception was much higher than I anticipated for women. So I guess archaic humans didn't chase teenagers...

    Ladies, What Would You Do?

    So, ladies, you meet a Somali man who could be from your *qabil* that is 30-something, handsome, 6'3, athletic, well-read, highly educated with a 6+ figure income and workaholic tendencies you find indicative of ambition. He appears rather interested in you. However, your intuition tells you...

    Its My Birthday 🎂

    My advice for looking and feeling great at any age is never allow others to steal your joy. And guard your emotional energy like an armored convoy. Surround yourself with optimistic people and day ones that keep you grounded. By grounded I do not mean individuals that dismantle you which you...

    When I defended 🥊Abdis from an Ajnabi...

    A few months back I had to Uber it to an appointment. The driver oddly knew I was Somali despite wearing a mask. He confided that he had many Somali friends that just so happened to be women. I think the gentleman was testing me when he blurted out of nowhere "Somali men are violent and...

    Covid Vaccines and Menstrual Irregularities

    Well, it appears some women are reporting irregular menses after taking the vaccine. And as usual they discount these reports as ancedotal and there being no sign of danger or reason to skip...

    What's your Love Language?

    I finally got around to reading this book - the 5 love languages. Anyway the premise of the book is that that people don't give and receive love in the same way. So, you might not share the same love language with a significant other/ someone you like. Of the 5 love languages: Words of...

    Ladies of SSpot Appreciation Thread

    I have a theory that the bulk of Appreciation Threads are initiated mostly by sisters. The lasses are empathetic and radiate gentility and warmth. Even when they are harsh to you, they do so from a constructive place, in defense of themselves or mostly in jest. Nonetheless, they always appear to...

    Hero-Asshole Complex

    Men want the Madonna-Wh0r€ (wholesome but bad). While the male equivalent is the Hero-Asshole Complex (good guy that knows when to activate the bad in him and how much bad is respectable enough given the context). One moment they want tenderness and sensitivity but they also want a sprinkle of...
