@msoft You joined this site in 2010.. 12 years ago.. yet your profile says you are 21.. which would make you 9 years old when you joined.
How is it possible to be a member of this site for 12 years, and still be a LURKER?

What are you doing here?

Instead of LURKER.. you should be labelled what you really are.. a TROLL.

OK, a couple of things:

1. Look at your own profile, Einstein:
   Joined 22 Feb 2018, 14:53 Last Online 2 minutes ago Age 21

For that matter, my own profile shows:
Joined 23 Jun 2008, 00:43 Last Online less than a minute ago Age 21

Can YOU see a pattern?

Probably not: it shows EVERYONE as being age 21 - likely because we don't enter our birthdays anywhere on this site!

2. The titles like "Lurker" and "Newbie" stopped working when the forum software was updated YEARS ago.

From a post in 2014:

Ascending these classes is based on the number of posts –

| Class | Number of posts |
| Lurker | 0 |
| Newbie | 3 |
| Jr. Member | 50 |
| Full Member | 100 |
| Sr. Member | 250 |
| Hero Member | 500 and above |

If those "classes" were active today, I'd be a "Hero" (1700+ posts), and @lololulu19 would be a "Hero" as well (620+ posts) (note: these numbers are visible to all under the USERS tab at the top of the page)

Mind you, we also used to get SBP on the torrent side for posting in the forum - that doesn't apply anymore, either!

Biden's campaign hired a company - that was often hired by Democratic candidates - that's now accused of maybe "mining" White House DNS data (data that is just a list of addresses you look up)

This is the same farcical crap you posted the other day...

By your logic, you're Scottish, you pay taxes, some of those taxes go to Price Andrew, Prince Andrew is a pedophile who just settled his case with a prior teen-victim to avoid publicity.... ergo, you're a supporter of pedophiles!

Yeah! That's the ticket!

Look, there's plenty of REAL SHIT going on in the Biden Administration... these guys have shit for brains and are trying to tackle 2020's issues with 1980's tactics - and, SURPRISE! It's NOT working!

You don't have to be disabled, just self-identify as such.

Oh, I know - you'll have to submit to a medical exam to PROVE your disability! That's the ticket!

Yeah ... you're not a fascist!

@raphjd said in Black Nationalist and liberal darling charged with attempted murder of Louisville mayoral candidate:
...

This was DOMESTIC TERRORISM, but liberals believe only "crackers" can be domestic terrorists.

...
Your understanding of US culture is truly amazing... but I think the term you wanted was HONKY

The term "cracker" is generally reserved for whites in the South (also, typically poor). (How would I know? I live in Florida)

It should also be noted that, much like the Black culture's adoption of the n-word for referring to themselves, Whites in rural GA and FL used to refer to themselves as "crackers" to indicate that their ancestry was right there - they weren't "recent" immigrants. In fact, former FL Gov. Lawton Chiles (a Democrat) used to claim often that he "was looking for that old-time cracker vote".

Finally, as the final "nail in the coffin" of using "cracker" as white-equivalent of the n-word: There is an official "Florida Cracker Trail" - a hiking trail that cuts through Central FL along what were once cattle trails through the brush and swamps.

Even so, while the majority of whites refer to the n-word in this way - I'm not aware of any hesitance by anyone else to using the terms cracker or honky... perhaps they're just not as pejorative?

@raphjd said in Scotland - hypocrite liberals run the country:

Government ministers get the luxury of chauffeur-driven limos.

The rest of us will now have to pay a "workplace parking tax".

MSPs (Members of the Scottish Parliament) and MPs, and their staff are exempt from this.

The tax is coming in because the Scottish government is slashing the funding to local councils, so this is one of the replacement sources of income for the local councils.

The tax has no limit, it's just whatever local councils want to charge. Of course, they can make exemptions for those they like.

They will make exceptions for the people who pay the most to their re-election campaigns! No?

What I find HILARIOUS is your contention that ONLY LIBERALS are hypocrites!

I have a serious problem with that since she took the cupcakes to school and fed them to her students, despite her husband not being there. If he in fact did "force" her, she could have taken the cupcakes to school and disposed of them on the way or in the school dumpster.

Are you sure she wasn't a LIBERAL?

@bi4smooth

She is the 4th to be cured. The previous 3 were men.

Every outlet I've looked at says she's #3 - but that doesn't really matter.

Again, SCIENTIFICALLY what's important is the use of umbilical chord blood (vs. stem cells) to introduce the genetic mutation, AND the fact that she's mixed-race.

@raphjd said in Breaking: Felony bomb charges dropped against Florida antifa member:

From Andy Ngo;

Garrett James Smith, the antifa member accused of bringing a destructive device to a right-wing rally in Clearwater, Fla. on Jan. 6, 2022, was released without bail to his parent's gated community home in the East Lake Woodlands on Feb. 10. His hired attorney filed a motion with the state for his client's mandatory release because the three felony counts related to making or possessing a destructive device were still pending. Law enforcement originally found a pipe-bomb looking device on his possession and a search of his room found more similar devices, along with tape and nails. But after forensic analysis on the devices by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the felony charges have been completely dropped. Bruce Bartlett, the prosecutor, wrote that Smith's devices "emit smoke but do not explode if ignited." He added Smith will only be prosecuted for the misdemeanor crime of loitering and prowling.

Once again, you insist on spreading accusations and innuendo as-if it is truth.

1. Garrett James Smith was accused of having explosives - he did not, they were essentially "smoke bombs"
2. Garrett James Smith was attending a rally for jailed OathKeeper Jeremy Brown. He was "identified" as a "person of interest" by Pinellas County Deputies because he was dressed all in black. They came towards him, and he ran.
3. The "grenades" he had in is possession were PLASTIC,and after forensic tests, were found to pose no explosive threat - they were designed to create smoke.
4. The other items found at his parent's home were also determined to be equally non-lethal
5. Claims that Smith was a member of Antifa were made by other demonstrators, and were noted by arresting officers. There was never any proof - including searches of his home and social media - that he was a member of Antifa, or any other leftist group.
6. What they DID find in his computer and phone were a lot of references to RIGHT-WING groups - which is now what is suspected to be his reason for attending the rally. (There is some speculation that he was expecting the rally to result in a "jail break" for Brown - and that he was there in support of the cause, not against it.
7. Smith himself isn't saying. He disclaims belonging to any group - right-wing or left-wing.

In case you're not sure, the County where Smith lives and was arrested - Pinellas County, FL - is a largely conservative county - in spite of the largest City (St. Petersburg - at the south end) being largely Democrat. Sheriff Gualtieri is a long-standing conservative "law-and-order" sheriff, and is probably second only to the "Showman Sheriff" Grady Judd (of nearby Polk county) in notoriety among the State's Sheriffs. He (Gualtieri) is well respected by Republicans and Democrats alike in this State (yes, this is where I live).

Unlike the tone and tenor of this posting, the FACTS are that ALL felony charges have been dropped against Smith after investigation showed that the things he was charged for were not true.... things that included his being a member of Antifa.

NOTE: To be clear... I'm not claiming that Smith is, or is not, a member of Antifa - I'm saying there never was proof (or indication, other than his clothes) that he is or was a member of Antifa, and claims otherwise are conjecture & hyperbole intended to elicit click-bait.

@raphjd said in World's first woman is 'cured' of HIV after receiving rare - but dangerous - stem cell treatment to fight both virus and cancer:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-10516025/First-woman-cured-HIV-receiving-rare-dangerous-stem-cell-treatment.html

The fact that she's a woman isn't what's news here. In fact, she's the THIRD person reportedly CURED of HIV infection.

https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/968544

She was cured in much the same way the others were: essentially, a complete replacement of her blood AND bone marrow (in her case, she had leukemia)

What's BIGGER news is that she was partially treated using umbilical cord blood taken from someone with the rare genetic trait that helps the body fight HIV infection to start with: "That particular sample of cord blood was selected for its genetic mutation against the CCR5 receptor on immune cells, CD4 T cells. That mutation makes the immune system resistant to HIV."

And even BIGGER than that: she wasn't White!
The mutation mentioned above only existed in northern-European bloodstreams. It was originally thought that the mutation was unique to them, and therefore unavailable to all but a few who would be "compatible" with this mutation.
The woman in this case is mixed-race (apparently with northern European in the mix somewhere), and so has put those assumptions "on their head"...

This is science people. The Docs think they have a clue of what can and what won't work, then they test it - and often (usually, in the case of research) find they're wrong. But in every wrong guess, they learn SOMETHING.

@setecho said in How to choose a good freeleech torrent to increase my UL?:

I'm pretty layman about it, once I downloaded a torrent that gave me 10 gb of UL. but most just give me kb

Which torrent criteria provide the most UL points?

I've suggested this approach several times before, and I stand by it:

• The point of downloading a FreeLeech torrent is to get something other people will want to download - AND - to be one of the people that they download it FROM!

The thing to remember about FreeLeeches is that, while the download is free, it's the upload (that still counts) that you're looking for! That, and because a lot of people NEED upload credits, they are VERY POPULAR to download!

So you look at FreeLeech items available right now: the vast majority of them already have TONS of seeders - and may or may not still have leechers.

MOST OF THE FREELEECH torrents you see right now will not help you!

• After you download the content, you're in competition with dozens or even hundreds of others who are also seeding it already! (As you'll see below: they beat you to the punch!)
• Because it's been FREELEECH for a while already, MOST of the people who want it, already have it! So the number of leechers coming on NOW is likely to be low.

So, when IS it a good time to get in on the FREELEECH wagon?

ONLY AT THE START!

When you get in on a FREELEECH at the START of the period in which it's going to be free, there won't be many (usually) seeders yet - and the number of leechers will likely grow quickly. Get in there, get your files, and YOU can be one of those "at the start" who are seeding to dozens of leechers simultaneously.

If you actually want the content - FREELEECHes are good anytime...

If you want seed points from FREELEECHES, get in EARLY - otherwise, there's too much competition. It won't HURT you, but it won't help you the way you want it to, either.

Finally: if the goal is to seed, don't worry about the contents - if the new FREELEECH is masked Asian porn with Sumo Wrestlers - and that's not your thing - STILL download it at the start of the FREELEECH period! You can delete it later, but you want to be EARLY so that the people who DO want this content GET IT FROM YOU!

I hope this helps....

Well, you are saying it's untrue, even though your leftist source says the program could allow it.

You butt-head... I'm saying your hyperbolic news feed is harping on a potential use of a block grant of funds, and passing it off as though it was the sole purpose of the funds!

It's like looking at the $700 billion (non-BlackOps) Pentagon budget, seeing that they're purchasing portable latrines, and then claiming the Pentagon is spending $700 billion dollars on new latrines!

Could some of that $30 million be used to buy drug paraphernalia (like better crack pipes)? Yes!
Is that the intent of the block grant? No
Is that a focus of the block grant? No
They are likely to also purchase condoms and needles (to prevent the spread of HIV among drug users - esp IV drug users)... where's your outcry that they're spending $30 million on condoms?

OH! That's right - it's not as "click bait"-ish!

You're such a tool of the anti-American Right...

@djsoapbubble said in hey what up:

@bi4smooth I understand all that. BUT, there was a situation sometime last year where the search engine was acting wonky. Hence the reason why my uploads were reported as duplicates were because the search engine was wonky. So no, I don't trust technology that much. It's good to have it and all as we have the world right at our fingertips. However, expecting technology to be dependable 100% of the time is a far stretch as it all comes within the territory. You know, kind of like artificial intelligence when you ask Alexa or Google to play sexual music and all they do is put out Lynyrd Skynyrd instead.

No system where you allow thousands of users to input data is going to be perfect. And I may be wrong, but other than notifications that your uploads were duplicates, I don't suspect there was any PENALTY for uploading something found elsewhere.

I do know for a fact that Staff don't go looking for duplicates... they depend on the users to report them. I know this because I was told as much by a staffer some years ago when one of my torrents was marked as a duplicate, even though I thought it was "different enough" (an argument I lost LOL)

Finally - Why can't you make love to Free Bird? or What's Your Name?

I'm not sure who's right - you or Alexa on that one! ROFL!

@raphjd said in Yet another news story liberal media ain't talkin about:

@bi4smooth

You are such a liar.

Anything and everything bad said about Trump you automatically believe, because you, like every other liberal, have extreme TDS.

I believed there was interference because it makes sense and we have the evidence. You believed that there was collusion because your leftist "news" media said so.

You liberals can't pretend this away as you did with Hunter's laptop.

You're missing the point - on at least 2 marks:

• There is/was a difference between Russian INTERFERENCE in 2016 (proven - beyond a doubt) and Russian COLLUSION with the Trump Campaign (not proven, and with the lack of charges coming after the Trump term ended, the Dem's can't hide behind the "he's being protected by the Justice Dept" claim any longer).
• The issue at hand then was that, while there were complaints of Russian interference - with or without Trump Campaign assistance - in 2016, there was no attempt to claim the vote was stolen or invalid... only that people were duped, lied to, and in some few cases, coerced into voting for Trump (or at least NOT voting for Hillary)...
  There were no claims then that the votes were fraudulent, only that the people who cast those votes didn't know better.
  For what it's worth, I didn't buy it then, and I don't buy it now - the truthfulness isn't what's at issue though... that election is long gone, and Trump's term has come and gone. What DOES matter is that, in spite of the "cheating" claims, no one attempted to change the vote totals or the outcome of the election... they just wanted to "expose the cheating" (and in the Dem's view, de-legitimize Trump's presidency).
  Do you think Thomas Dewey didn't claim "something was up" when Harry Truman beat him in 1948? Of course he did! He claimed all kinds of shenanigans were used to beat him! Many (most) of which were illegal - like LITERALLY buying votes in some cities! BUT Dewey didn't claim Truman didn't get the votes - only that they were ill-gotten.
• The issue today is that, and I strongly suspect that is with the help - knowingly or otherwise - of the Russians and other US adversaries, the Trumpite / Q-Anon factions aren't just claiming Joe Biden cheated - they're claiming that thousands of election workers around the country - even Republican ones - cheated.
  And this calls into question the very legitimacy of Democracy... if you ask me, it's beyond un-patriotic... and those who participated in the Jan 6 insurrection (with the intent of stopping the transfer of power) are guilty of treason.
  (Be glad I'm not the Federal Judge hearing their cases! They'd be given the option: life in prison (Leavenworth, not some cozy Club Fed) or be stripped of US Citizenship and expelled to the country of their choice - with a lifetime ban on ever stepping foot in the US or its territories again.)

@lololulu19 said in Proof that black privilege is real:

@raphjd I want to hear a senator ask this question of the Supreme Court nominee...

Is it legal to require a candidate for a job to be of a specific gender and a specific race?

If not, should we disqualify anybody who has been selected as a candidate based upon their gender and race?

Careful there - you would lose Clarence Thomas (conservative SC Justice) just as fast as anyone else you can think of!

When you can think of a way to make things perfect - even just your version of perfect, let us know...

Age discrimination is supposed to be just as illegal as racial and gender discrimination - should we send Amy Coney Barrett (conservative SC justice chosen because Trump promised to put a woman on the court) & Neil Gorsuch (nominated by Trump because of his young age - wanting his conservative influence to last longer) packing too, and let the current (Democrat) President choose new ones - based on gender-racial-and-age neutral grounds?

If you can't say "I'll only appoint a black woman", can you also not say "I'll only appoint a Pro-Life justice"? Or a "Pro-Choice" one?
