o get around that, I highly suggest having a fuck bud that you trust to go bareback with.  That's what I have with my fuck bud; even though we mess with other guys, we're always open with each other and careful of who we fuck with.

That's very dangerous, not safe at all.  You can have unprotected sex hundreds or thousands of times and never get HIV if you are very lucky but you can also have unprotected sex once and get it.

You can get HIV while using condoms as they are not perfect protection but they certainly decrease the risk significantly.

If you are going to have unprotected sex regardless, at least use PrEP, but just like condoms, PrEP doesn't provide perfect protection even when taken exactly as prescribed without fail, which is not always the case.

Opinions on the attack that occured in LA.

Whom did the trans women attack?

Flozen said most of what I was going to say while I was writing it but I'll post anyway:

@Pomparomp:

on a second glance there are parts of the site where it IS trans so idk lol

This issue has been discussed in depth previously and it is being changed over to "trans" as a more appropriate term as the site is updated so you see both terms right now.  The icons haven't been updated yet.

Essentially all transgender porn models used to be male-to-female and the common terminology was "she-male".  Porn shops had display shelves labelled "She-Male" and the covers of the magazines and videotapes used that term, too.  Most she-male porn was marketed to "straight" men.

See how popular the term was?  Volume 26!

A Florida taxi driver, who believed false claims that coronavirus was a hoax, has lost his wife to Covid-19.

He didn't LOSE her so much as sacrifice her on the altar of Trump-worship.

The month of June was filled with big moments for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.

In that monthlong stretch, the Supreme Court rendered a sweeping decision providing workplace protections for gay and transgender people. It came shortly before the fifth anniversary of the high court’s landmark ruling on marriage equality. L.G.B.T.Q. people and others commemorated the murder of 49 people at the Pulse nightclub in Florida in June 2016. Thousands marched in Brooklyn, N.Y., in support of Black transgender lives.

President Trump was almost entirely silent through it all.

There was no tweet in honor of Pride Month, despite suggestions from several aides to Mr. Trump that he write one. No rollout of a coalition aimed at L.G.B.T.Q. voters by his campaign, despite preparations that had been made for one. Embassies overseas were told they couldn’t fly the Pride flag.

There was, however, a rollback by the Trump administration of a regulation put in place by the Obama administration in 2016 to mandate health care as a civil right for transgender patients under the Affordable Care Act.

It is what many in the L.G.B.T.Q. coalition have come to expect from Mr. Trump, who during his 2016 presidential campaign used gay people as a wedge against Muslims, whom he painted broadly as extremists, following the shootings at Orlando’s Pulse nightclub by a Muslim man. While Mr. Trump has signaled a willingness to publicly align himself with some gay men and women, he selected a deeply conservative running mate in Vice President Mike Pence, and, as president, has systematically dismantled protections implemented by President Barack Obama, especially for transgender people.

Just over two months before Election Day, Mr. Trump is trailing in almost every poll to Joseph R. Biden Jr., the Democratic nominee, whom activists credit with pushing Mr. Obama to support gay marriage. And Mr. Trump’s advisers are suddenly talking about L.G.B.T.Q. people as they scramble to find new voter support.

@TheoSenpaii:

I've done the speedtest here are the results :
Ping : 3
Download : 301.70 mbps
Upload : 671.82 mbps

It should be faster than normal. Is the leecher's DL speed affects the UL speed ? Because between 671mbps and 2kos there's a huge difference.

That's odd, download rates are usually much faster than upload rates.  I wonder if something was downloading and using bandwidth at the time you ran the test?

Anyway, looks like  you have decent upload capacity.

Yes, no matter what  your upload capacity is, actual upload rates will be dependent on whatever rate leechers are capable of.

If you never achieve significant upload rates, there may be some sort of problem, but it is not unusual to have a single leecher downloading at a very low rate, such as you describe.

Do you ever have higher upload rates?  I suspect so, because you have uploaded a significant amount and your ratio is not terrible.

New York attorney general files legal action against Trump Organization, revealing state investigation into the company’s financial dealings

Eric Trump is trying to assert his 5th Amendment right not to incriminate himself by refusing to testify.

This pinhead was stupid enough to sue a bar because they refused to serve him a third round and kicked him out because he was wearing a MAGA Dunce Cap.  He tried to claim it was an expression of his "spiritual belief".

Ignorant people are against vaccines because they haven't seen the effects of diseases that vaccines prevent because vaccines work so well.   Polio, measles, mumps, whooping cough, tetanus, diphtheria, etc. are all horrible diseases that kill, but the odds are that you have never even known someone who had any of them unless the person is so old that they had the disease before the vaccine was available.  I don't even have any pity left for anti-vaxxers because of the risk of harm to others who aren't stupid.

These people suing Facebook don't understand what censorship is, anyway.  Same for people yelling about their imaginary right to not wear a face mask on private property.  Dumb, dumb, dumb.

@Beardycub86:

Ok, thanks.

It's currently appearing on torrents that are still on the site. But I'll keep checking on it and see if it resolves.

I'm not having that problem at all today or  yesterday, so you might want to ask a mod if there could be another issue by using the Helpdesk in the menu under Support at the top of the page.

@Beardycub86:

I've been struggling to upload/seed torrents enough to maintain a good ratio and although transmission says it is seeding my torrents, the inspector shows an error message saying "Tracker gave HTTP response code: 404 (Not Found)".

Can anyone explain how to fix this and whether or not this is a blocker to other users being able to download from me?

Yes, that will prevent anyone from downloading the torrent from you.

Sometimes there are problems with the tracker and those error messages appear on many or all torrents and the problems will eventually resolve.  However, if a particular torrent is removed from the site, that message will be permanent and there's no point in continuing to seed it.

With the President’s attack on “fake news” resounding across America and around the world, it is important to recall the history of the charge. “Fake News” is a fair translation of the German “Lügenpresse” or “lying press”—a charge used by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis to discredit independent reporting. The point is not that the President is like Hitler; it is not at all the case that the President intends to invoke this history or even knows about it. But it is true that the use of the term “fake news” is having a corrosive effect on our public culture.

@astr0b0y40:

Hey guys, over the past week I have uploaded over 100Gig with utorrent, but the uploads not showing on here. Could it be because I use a VPN??

I don't know for sure about the VPN causing problems but I would guess that if you are getting some credit, it is not due to that as it would probably be all-or-none.  Someone who knows more about this should confirm or correct this.

The statistics are not updated in real time.  I think closing and reopening the torrent software and similar  might cause problems with getting full credit because of that.

@TheoSenpaii:

Hey, I wondered, is it normal to have a low UL speed and a high DL speed on uTorrent ?
I'm at around 10 mo/s at downloading but it rarely exceeds 2 ko/s when i'm uploading, this makes me very difficult to seed and thus results in me having low UL and a bad ratio..

Not a lot of information.

Do a speed test to see what  your actual capabilities are as a baseline:

https://www.speedtest.net/

Your actual upload speed will depend on a lot of things including how fast peers can download.  It's not unusual to have only one downloader with a very slow speed.

@dggalindez:

Hi! As a very new uploader, I have already uploaded files here. I wanna when to continue seeding and when to stop seeding torrents that have been uploaded already.

Any comments or replies are very much appreciated.

Thanks!

You are off to a good start with a great ratio.  The longer you seed the files  you upload, the more upload credit you can get.  My personal rule is that if I upload a torrent, I seed it indefinitely to ensure that it is available for others to download.  Someone who uploads a lot of torrents might not be able to do that, however, due to drive space, although the cost of storage is very reasonable these days for both buying hard drives and renting online server space.

“I listen better to the African-American people than anybody else. Anybody else in this room,” he said. In front of him was the son of Martin Luther King Jr., the most revered American civil rights leader of all time.

Trump has a complete lack of awareness of what is going on around him in the world except as it relates to him.   No doubt he will be used as a case study in textbooks of what happens when someone with narcissistic personality disorder becomes the leader of a country.  There is all sorts of material to draw from, like the running lists of his lies that reliable journalists have compiled in real time and the many thousands of videos of his disturbed behavior and statements.

I'm not sure what the textbooks will say about his rabid followers and mental illness.

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

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a personality disorder characterized by a long-term pattern of exaggerated feelings of self-importance, an excessive craving for admiration, and struggles with empathy.  People with NPD often spend much time daydreaming about achieving power and success, or on their appearance.  This is a pattern of obsessive thoughts and unstable sense of identity, often to cope with a sub-par real life. People with the diagnosis in recent years have spoken out about its stigma in media, and possible links to abusive situations and childhood trauma.  Such narcissistic behavior typically begins by early adulthood, and occurs across a broad range of situations.
