@Poernerlook:

Thank you for all your tips!

I still didn't download more than 1 gb, but I understand that downloading heavier files (such as 555 photos) can affect my ratio so much.
If I may, I have a newer problem (and even a more critical one). Because I am a horsemen of the Apocalypse when it comes to technology. I managed to fuck things up and had to reinstall windows completely, thus losing all of my torrents and files for seeding*.
It may come a bit selfish, but for the sake of my account, my first priority is to bump up my ratio once again to a "safe zone" (because between my last message and this one, my ratio dropped to 2.6). How do you recommend to do so?
Of course I want to seed because it's the right thing to do, but being banned won't help anyone.

*Technically I do have one file left on another computer, but I won't be able to reach it until Tusday

It's not selfish to worry about your ratio, it's smart.  So many people get off on the wrong foot with their ratio.  Just focus on freeleech torrents for a while and you shouldn't have problems building up a good ratio based on a decent amount of downloading and uploading.

@LostStoner:

I'm kind of familiar with the seed bonus as far as how you earn it, and what you can spend it on.

However I don't understand why one torrent will cost,
55.783 Seed bonus Points per day (2.324 points per hour)

Meanwhile another torrent will cost,
1531.463 Seed bonus Points per day (63.811 points per hour).

Can anyone explain why they cost different amounts?
What is the amount based on/determined by?
Or does the system randomly assign a Seed Bonus cost that isn't really based on anything?

It's based on the size of the torrent.

That's one of the reasons large collections are bad, because it costs so many seedbonus points to make them freeleech that almost no one would do so.

She didn’t make excuses about losing to Donald Trump, but echoed Bernie Sanders and Michelle Obama in suggesting that it was a loss that could have been avoided and must be avoided this time around….

The social network also said it was restricting another 1,950 groups, 440 pages on Facebook and more than 10,000 accounts on Instagram related to the conspiracy group.

The actions, less than three months before November’s presidential election, underline how QAnon is increasingly causing alarm. Founded four years ago, QAnon was once a fringe phenomenon with believers who alleged, falsely, that the world was run by a cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles who were plotting against President Trump while operating a global child sex-trafficking ring.

But in recent months, the movement has become mainstream. Believers of Q, the shadowy central figure of QAnon, have shown up at political rallies. Some have committed violence in the name of the movement. And members of the group are rising in politics. Marjorie Taylor Greene, an avowed QAnon supporter from Georgia, won a Republican primary this month and may be elected to the House in November.

XXXX are making a 4Chan meme come true!

@Poernerlook:

Hello,

I'm quite new here, but in the few days I've been here I tried to seed as much as possible, even when I'm not downloading.
It got to the point where my ratio was 64.x and I was very proud of myself (for the record, my UL is 2.08 GB and my dl is 799.74 MB)
Less than three hours ago, I've downloaded a torrent without much popularity (around 26 peers). Since then my ratio had dropped to a whooping 2.6, meaning a decreace of 97% of my ratio. Now since the torrent doesn't have a high demand, there aren't any peers downloading off my, so I fear my ratio will only go down from here.

Any advice will be appreciated, thanks in advance

26 peers is actually a popular torrent here.  If you sort all torrents by the number of seeders, only 111 have over 100 seeders.

If you have only downloaded under 1 GB, then anything you download is going to affect your ratio in a huge way.  After a few years and a lot more downloading, a 1 GB download will only affect the third digit after the decimal point in your download total and much less in your ratio.

You are smart to be thinking about your ratio now.

The best tip is to stick to newer freeleech torrents. What you want to do is get in on a freeleech torrent when there is only one or just a few seeders.

If you can find some high quality content and create a torrent to upload here, you can get a lot of upload credit that way.

Also seed 24/7 for seedbonus points you can exchange for upload credit.

Trump should be tried for crimes against humanity and sentenced to death by guillotine.

@eobox91103:

Also, you have to admit that Mr Trudeau is easier on the eyes than some other world leaders.

That's an understatement.  He has the most beautiful eyes and smile and he's aging nicely, too.

@eobox91103:

It would be tragic if this disease spread from our southern neighbour.  There's overlap/underlap with Trump-style neo-fascism:  Both promote white supremacy, but while the militia folk are anti-police, Mr Trump styles himself as pro-police…due to his misunderstanding of some who use the phrase "defund the police."

Trudeau is going to have to build a wall to protect Canada's southern border and make the U.S. pay for it!  

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez nominates Bernie Sanders at Democratic National Convention

https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2020-08-18/democratic-convention-alexandria-ocasio-cortez

U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez nominated Bernie Sanders on Tuesday in a convention speech that honored him for organizing “a historic grassroots campaign to reclaim our democracy.”

The New York congresswoman, 30, seconded the nomination for Sanders as the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, hailing the 78-year-old Vermont senator and his “mass people’s movement working to establish 21st century social, economic and human rights, including guaranteed healthcare, higher education, living wages, and labor rights for all people in the United States.”

In 2016, she sounded a message of hope. In 2020, she struck a somewhat more ominous tune.

https://www.vox.com/2020/8/18/21373488/michelle-obama-speech-democratic-national-convention-2020

Overall, Obama’s shift in tone and messaging emphasized the failures of the Trump administration and reminded her audience that a second Trump term would mean those shortcomings would continue to have an outsized effect on American life. In underscoring the stakes, she renewed the meaning of the “high road,” redefining it as demanding participation from all American citizens rather than simply grace.

“If we want to keep the possibility of progress alive in our time, if we want to be able to look our children in the eye after this election, we have got to reassert our place in American history,” Obama said.

What is the Boogaloo movement?

https://www.blueline.ca/what-is-the-boogaloo-movement/

In the wake of the tragic shooting rampage in Nova Scotia, and the government’s response to the possession of assault-style weapons, Canadians who self-identify as boogaloo boys have become active on social media sites. In summary, boogaloo is a non-centralized, heterogeneous group of individuals with a mixture of ideologies aligned with white supremacists, neo-Nazis and anarchists. They share the same dislike of government and the police, and believe in their right to possess assault weapons. Are they coming to Canada? No, they are already here.

@amd11:

I've thought about it a lot and I have decided to have a nice long sex break to really clear my mind and wait until I feel more confident to have sex again

It certainly is understandable that you need a break after this.

@opopmega:

Does anyone know of other gay por pay actors?

There are many of them, especially in Eastern Europe, Brazil, etc.

Sexuality is a spectrum and few straight men are unable to enjoy sex with another man under any circumstances.  It often happens in prisons, the military, boarding schools, etc.

There must be some advantages to being perceived as straight because some do pretend to be straight when they are actually bi or gay.  They might start out as topping only before bottoming as their career ages.

You mentioned Johnny Rapid.  He has a wife and child, so I would consider him to be at least bi if not straight even though he is one of the most prolific actors in gay porn and probably bottoms a lot more than he tops.

Certain Bel Ami and other Eastern European gay porn actors do make (or have made) efforts to present themselves as straight even when they are bi or gay, such as Jim Kerouac.  Others are probably straight when they are not in front of a camera, like Denis Reed, who left a wife and child when he died a few years ago.

I find it interesting to watch a gay porn actor start out either straight or at least very camera shy and warm up to it over time and eventually become enthusiastic about it.  Bobby Owens at Broke Straight Boys is one who was hilarious in his first few videos and now he even has a porn star mustache and seems to enjoy the sex.  Tommy Hunter at EastBoys is another one like that.

Some Sean Cody actors also seem to be straight but eventually really get into it.  Jess (with the marijuana tattoo) may be bi, but he comes across to me as more of a straight guy who is laid back enough to enjoy making gay porn videos.

How many men who are gay and do gay porn also do straight porn or bi porn in which they fuck women?  That's a more interesting question.

@chia:

for me the filename search does not work. eg searching for zs026

this makes searching for torrents with proper codenames as filenames but vague torrent titles very difficult

The search function here is wonky.

You can do a regular Google search and specify site:gaytorrent.ru as a search term and it will show up.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/18/us/politics/senate-intelligence-russian-interference-report.html

WASHINGTON — A sprawling report released Tuesday by a Republican-controlled Senate panel that spent three years investigating Russia’s 2016 election interference laid out an extensive web of contacts between Trump campaign advisers and Russian government officials and other Russians, including some with ties to the country’s intelligence services.

Yes, promoted, it has the recycle symbol and if you check the torrent page you'll see the original upload date.  You don't need to download the torrent file again if you are seeding as the old one still works.

Judge Blocks Trump Officials’ Attempt to End Transgender Health Protections

Aug. 17, 2020

WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Monday blocked an effort by the Trump administration to erase protections for transgender patients against discrimination by doctors, hospitals and health insurance companies, dealing a blow to the broader legal reasoning it has used to try to roll back transgender rights across the government.

@amd11:

I'm also really worried and upset because I have been doing some research of my own and I found that is something called super gonorrhea and that is it is becoming very resistant to a lot of antibiotics and will most likely keep coming back, I think just keep cutting off sex forever since I hate wearing condoms due to how uncomfortable they feel on me

You could try different condoms and including larger sizes if your penis is larger than average.  They even make condoms with larger ends for men with a large glans.

Another trick is to use water-based lubricant inside a non-lubricated condom. Normally the condom moves with the penis, but it might work better for you if the condom stays in place inside the rectum while the penis moves inside it.

It took me a long time to get used to condoms but now when that condom goes on, I get excited because my brain knows what is next.

This was in response to the disgusting remarks made by an ignorant racist and misogynistic Florida Man, Republican U.S. Rep. Yoho.

@Poernerlook:

One of the reasons I'm a bit stressed is because my computer acts up even though it's less than two months old, so I'm a bit paranoid

That is frustrating but unlikely to have anything to do with torrenting unless you downloaded a malicious file.  There have been some reported on this site, but as far as I know, no standard video file types were involved.
