I saw a torrent the other day that was a bunch of images of a young man (high school or college) who was on a competitive water sports team.  None of the photos were nude and all of them were taken in public around the pool where there is no expectation of privacy, but it still seemed inappropriate to me.

One photo in a collection of photos of different men in Speedos would be okay, but a collection of photos of just the one young man is creepy and wrong even if it is not illegal as he was obviously unaware the photos were being taken and did not give consent to have them taken or distributed on the internet.

@Adverse:

Depends what you are into. I quite liked Dating Amber, it's quite a sweet coming of age story set in Ireland.

I watched Dating Amber last night and enjoyed it, although I didn't like the ending very much.  Some of the characters were hilarious, especially Kev, played by Ian O'Reilly.

Fionn O'Shea has amazingly sexy ears.  He also starred in Handsome Devil (2016), which is worth watching, too.

@pwrbttmjk:

So after I upload the file, before it will be visible/available for others, I must download the torrent and begin seeding. Right? I did that. Now the torrent should begin seeding and others should also be able to download it. Except the status reads "finding peers 0.0%" and never progresses from this stage.

It might be important that I note, in the "tracker status" column next to the torrent it says "your download rights got taken. read the rules.. yada yada"… Being new to this, I made the mistake of not managing my ratio from the start and now I have lost my download rights. SO does this mean I am unable to complete the step where I am supposed to download my torrent so that it can be visible on the site?

I know this will all become more clear with a little help, and I thank anyone who can offer me some in advance

You can  upload torrents and seed even if your download privileges are suspended.

What is the status of the torrent on the torrent page here on gaytorrent.ru?  Does it show 1 seeder?

@alcrow:

Hey guys, I would like to ask your opinion about something. I'm a skinny-fat guy and during the quarantine I started to exercise at home. I've been doing body weight exercises for 4 months now (and I'm quite proud of myself that I still haven't given up yet), but lately I began to wonder if there is any point keeping on doing it as I don't really see any changes in the mirror. I know that the diet plays a huge part and I'm trying my best, but I still have a long way to go in that department (especially when it comes to protein intake) as eating is more like a chore to me and I rarely feel hungry.
Anyway, I'm exercising 4-5 days a week 45-60 mins a day. I started out with full body workouts and after about two months I split it to arms/chest/back and abs/legs. I'm continously trying to challenge myself and do more and more reps and add more difficult exercises, and I feel like it has positive effects as I can do much more before I'm out of breath. So I feel like that even if I don't see the results in the mirror, I am getting stronger. Is this possible? Or am I just simply getting used to the exercises? Am I wasting my time if I can't keep a healthy or balanced diet?

Sorry for these silly questions, I just thought that maybe someone can help me out here.

First off, congratulations for using the quarantine to improve your body rather than letting yourself gain weight.  I was just reading an article today about how busy tailors are in NYC letting out clothing for people who have gained 15 lb.

If you're doing body weight exercises, you are probably getting more toned but not building a lot of muscle bulk that would be easy to see.  If you are looking in the mirror every day, it is difficult to discern incremental progress.  You should take photos, take measurements of your arms, legs, chest, stomach, etc., and weigh yourself to be able to judge your progress over time.  You may have to lift weights to get the results you want.

However, don't get discouraged because your progress is concretely evident in your increased endurance and ability to do more strenuous exercises.

Diet is very important in losing fat, more important than exercise.  You can eat a healthy, balanced diet if you learn about nutrition and find the foods that you enjoy eating.  You may not need as much protein as you think you do.  Focusing on reducing carbs and especially sucrose and fructose (other than in fresh, whole fruit) may help you lose fat.

There are active subreddits on Reddit that can help you.  Start with r/Fitness but there might be a more appropriate subreddit.

@Sexylot:

Soooo, recently i was looking at me fyp on tiktok, and this guy appeared to me, he is so fucking hot  :hot2:

What u guys think?

Yes, he's very cute.  Reminds me of Antony Lorca from BelAmi.

@Guzzofan:

Recently, on another forum, I assisted a user named "XXX" (who I noticed also posts here) in obtaining several scenes he was looking for. Some time later, I received a message from this poster saying he had 1 or 2 of the long-lost scenes from AmateurStraightGuys I was looking for and was I still interested in receiving them. I replied back that I did, but he never replied back. I sent several follow-up messages just in case he didn't get the first one for some reason, but still nothing. I can tell he's logged into the forum many times since then.

Does anyone have any advice on what to do about this? These scenes haven't been available anywhere in decades and this may be my only chance to get them. I believe he legit has them because the PM he sent had little screen caps of what was on his cloud. I don't want to say that he "owes" me, but considering I did help him out, it's rather surprising and frustrating that he's been cockteasing me like this.

Please help.

Since you asked, I think it would be much more appropriate to send him a PM (private message) on the other website than to make public posts about it.  You might also send him a PM here.  A public post is not going to be any more effective than a PM and might even offend him as it comes across as an attempt at shaming, even if that was not your intention.

He might be traveling on summer vacation, he might be busy with work in a hospital slammed with Trump virus patients, he might be on a respirator himself.  He deserves the benefit of the doubt.

You should at least edit your post to leave out his user name if you don't ask the mods to delete this thread entirely.  (I quoted you but XXX'd his user name out.)

@eobox91103:

This is similar to what magicians have done for years–get people to "look over there."  The film Wag the Dog (1997) shows a good example of this–a US president fabricates a war to cover up a sex scandal.

And slightly off-topic, I love the Lenin poster.  I'm no communist, but I worked in Russia for a while in the 1990's and developed an appreciation for Socialist-Realist art.

I do appreciate the earnest kitschiness of Socialist Realism but prefer earlier Soviet styles such as Constructivism.

A logical fallacy is a flaw in the structure of an argument that renders it invalid.  Logical fallacies are easy to point out, but sometimes they are so obvious that it's not worth the trouble to respond to such distractions at all.

Whataboutism is a logical fallacy that has been discussed in the media recently.  The term arose to describe propaganda tactics used by the Soviet Union but currently are most frequently used by right-wing, regressive authoritarians.

Whataboutism, also known as whataboutery, is a variant of the tu quoque logical fallacy that attempts to discredit an opponent's position by charging them with hypocrisy without directly refuting or disproving their argument.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism

For instance, a racist might respond to a discussion about a specific example of racism by white people directed against black people by pointing out an example of racism by black people directed against white people.

Another way to think of whataboutism is as an attempt to avoid the actual discussion by creating a distraction.

Energized by the US’s massive anti-racism protests, history-making progressives from New York — young, black, Latino and gay — want to shake up Congress’s status quo when they are likely elected in November.

Mondaire Jones, 33, and Afro-Latino Ritchie Torres, 32, are set to become the first black, openly gay members of the House of Representatives following the November 3 vote.

Galvanized by the Black Lives Matter demonstrations, they recently won primaries to become the Democratic Party’s candidates in districts that overwhelmingly vote Democrat, all but securing their election to Congress’s lower house.

Currently, only two of the US Senate’s 100 members and seven of the House’s 435 representatives identify themselves as LGBTQ.

Although the LGBTQ community comprises 4.5 percent of America’s population, members occupy only 0.17 percent of elected roles, according to the Victory Institute.

@augustol:

Hey guys
I'm not actually very new here, but I just dicovered the forum, so Hello everyone haha

Hi, augutol. 

It took you almost six years after joining to make your first post.

I just checked the dates on my account.  I joined in 2007, made the first forum post almost seven years later in 2014, and then it was more than three years before the second post.

@overdose:

yeah, nothing to see here.

Nice profile pic.  The shape of the splatter looks like a dolphin jumping out of the waves.

@leeniedo:

A white gay porn star who launched a racist rant at a sanitation worker has been dropped by his studio following bubbling backlash, it was announced on Twitter Tuesday (July 21).

Watch the video.  He even gets out of his car and assaults the guy filming him.

https://twitter.com/Vote4Beckford/status/1284941075824746496

This is a good example of why I usually call them porn actors instead of porn stars, never heard of the guy before.  Apparently he hadn't done any work for Helix in five years but they scrubbed his old videos from their website.

@ManHandler:

Your statement is ridiculous. You don't even back it up. Must be satire.

Nope, facts, not satire.  However, facts certainly can seem ridiculous to someone who believes lies intended to foment racial tension and hate.

Bubba Wallace did not see the noose and did not report it.  Someone on his team found it and reported it to NASCAR as it was a classic hangman's noose.  An investigation of the ropes in 1,684 garages at 29 tracks found only 11 knots and 1 noose.  It was an incredible coincidence that he was assigned to that particular garage with the noose.

https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2020/06/25/nascar-completes-investigation-into-no-43-garage-stall-at-talladega/

The president of NASCAR had nothing but kind words for Bubba Wallace and the other drivers support him, too.  It's shameful that so many NASCAR fans are racist and hate him because of the color of his skin.

It only took about ten seconds to find that in a Google search.

@raju82:

Are you also into any kind of research. Usually researchers tend to pick up articles left and right to prove a point.

I also find that to be very frustrating, especially when a single, small or poorly-designed study is reported in the media as if some new scientific consensus has been reached.  The reason I linked to that particular study is because it is a meta-analysis incorporating the results of multiple reliable studies and the authors used appropriate criteria in determining which research to include.

@raju82:

Does dick size matters? I have a small dick about 4 inches. It makes very insecure.  :cry2:

Apparently it does matter to you.

The average penis size varies in different parts of the world but is generally around 5 in.  That means anything from 4 to 6 in. is absolutely average.  The very vast majority of penises are somewhere in that range.  It is estimated that only 5% of men have penises longer than 6.25 in. but porn makes us think otherwise.  Here's a meta-analysis:

@ManHandler:

Well. The Flu is a Coronavirus. We've had the Flu for centuries.

Fact:  Influenza is a coronavirus and COVID-19 is a coronavirus but they are not equivalent.  The cute little turtles sold in pet shops are reptiles and poisonous rattlesnakes are reptiles, but they are not equivalent.  Water is a liquid and sulfuric acid is a liquid, but they are not equivalent.  Oxygen is a gas and carbon monoxide is a gas, but they are not equivalent.

We've tried masks, in 1918. It just doesn't work.

Fact:  Masks catch exhaled droplets and prevent them from becoming airborne so that other people can't inhale them and become infected. Masks have been proven without a doubt by science to prevent the spread of tuberculosis, influenza, common colds, COVID-19, and other diseases spread by droplets.  Other measures such as handwashing, physical distancing, air filtration and disinfection, quarantines, etc. are important to one degree or another, too.  No method is 100% effective as long as there are opportunities for transmission.  There is no scientific doubt at all on any this.

Now you want to take an experimental vaccine (cuz it's warp speed).

Fact:  Only people ignorant of science advocate for unproven, nonscientific and pseudoscientific treatments such as drinking bleach or taking hydroxychloroquine or administering experimental treatments (such as unproven vaccines) outside of controlled experiments.

Fact:  Bubba Wallace never saw the noose and did not report it.

@ManHandler:

99.7% recovery rate.

Some math using that recovery rate, regardless of its accuracy:

The population of the USA is about 325,000,000.  If everyone in the USA gets COVID-19 and 99.7% recover, that means 0.3% will die.

0.003 x 325,000,000 = 975,000 dead people

Many of those who don't die also don't completely recover but have permanent damage to the lungs, brain, kidneys, etc.

With COVID-19, infection may not result in immunity and even when it does, that immunity may not last.  So what is the recovery rate for the second or third go-round?  Higher or lower?  We don't know yet.  But  it might be necessary to do that math over and over again to predict the number of dead for the repeated cycles of infection, as with influenza.  Some cycles may be worse than others depending on how it mutates, the weather, etc.

It's not a good situation.

@eastonkellan:

It is in one of the torrent's comment

Thanks.  I also see that those scenes are separate files so I wouldn't have to download the entire film again.

It's a pole poll.

If  anyone wants to know how big mine is, they are welcome to measure it with their mouth.    :cool2:
