@bi4smooth

Feng Feng talking out of his ass again.

If I was a transphobe, I would be saying "he" and "son", not she and daughter.

Also, it was made into more than what it was by her MP dad and the lunatic left, which you are part of which explains your crackhead post.

Being trans became a part of it when SHE claimed SHE was attacked for being trans. YOU DUMB ASS.

Nice try though, dick head.

Sorry, trans-hater (different from a trans-phobe) - the only part of this story that interested you was that a trans person was the criminal here.

Although, I do see your point about the father being a liberal MP... I'll give you that... it's entirely within the realm of your possibilities that you picked on this story because the criminal was tied - by family... even better... - to a liberal! Because Conservatives are pure and clean and perfect. Oh, but our families are off-limits!

You do know that parents cannot be charged for the crimes of their children, right? But don't let that stop you from slinging mud at a liberal!

@eobox91103

I'm sure there will be an age limit law for distributing porn, that you "innocently" forgot to quote as well.

Why are you advocating books describing sex in schools?

I'm surprised you aren't advocating porn videos as well, to be put in school libraries.

These are such touchy subjects... what IS and what IS NOT appropriate for a school library.

I mean, if we took out all the books the parents objected to, there would be like 4 books left! (Even the dictionary and encyclopedias have listings for PENIS!)

And obviously, we can't let the kids decide... there really would be porn in the Middle and High School libraries!

If only there was a profession - someone specially trained in how to make those decisions! I mean, this is important stuff - worthy of even a full-time job!

What would we even call such a profession... Library-girl (or Library-boy)? No, that would run into trouble with the trans community - besides, what if the person in the job was actually OLD!?!? Hmmm... Library-Scientist?

I've got it Librarian! That's it! We'll call the position "Librarian" - educate them on what's appropriate and not, and then trust them to make appropriate decisions!

Of course, they'll make mistakes, so as parent's we'll have the right to challenge all of their decisions - bring it up to the School Board regularly... make their lives a living hell, and reduce the library to those 4 books again!

'Merika!

@raphjd said in HOAX - Australian MP's trans-daughter victim of hate crime:

Andy Meddick MP's trans-daughter was attacked in a hate crime, or so we were originally told.

Turns out she attacked the guy when he confronted her for spray painting graffiti. At some point the guy threw one of her spray cans at her, hitting her in the head.

CCTV and eye-witnesses proved she was the aggressor.

Of course, when she originally reported the "unprovoked attack", she failed to mention that she was spray painting graffiti and that was why she was confronted by the man. She also failed to mention that she was the aggressor in the attack.

WHAT? A criminal claiming they did nothing wrong?

That's such a unique thing for a trans person to do!

I mean, a straight petty criminal would have just shot the dude, right? And claimed self defense?

And a regular gay person would have just fessed right up - turned themselves into the police and admitted everything!

DOH!

So, what part of this sad story of a petty criminal claiming an attack (and/or self-defense) - when they were both committing a crime AND the original aggressor - made the fact that they were trans relevant?

Oh yes, your general fear and loathing of all trans people in general... my bad! I thought there was nothing special - nothing worthy of going past the "neighborhood" section of the daily paper - there...

Who'da thunk trailing a juror home could cause such a stir?
Who'd be so incredibly stupid as to try such a stunt?

Dumb-fuck freelance reporter fro MSNBC, that's who!
If they weren't "protected" as "media", I'd give that reporter a 6-month interview with Rittenhouse - from inside the jail! Only the reporter couldn't file until they get out too!

As for loco @lololulu19 and his brilliant idea that they should have claimed self-defense... why, he should become an attorney! He'd be on the Supreme Court within 450 years! Such a brilliant legal mind!

Oh, wait! That's already a core component of the defense "strategy"...

Such a dumb ass. A business isn't a person.

And, you don't believe humans have rights. You believe, like your masters, that the unvaccinated should be welded into their homes.

Businesses aren't people (well, in some ways they are - but we'll leave the US Supreme Court to work that one out - THEY opened THAT can of worms!), but they aren't the Government either!

Typical of your Trumpist/Russian ways - you can only see black and white...

I'm sorry your butt aches every time Facebook deletes one of your posts, or Starbucks refuses to make your coffee with deer shit (the way they do it in Mother Russia)... but grow some balls and deal with it! Stop complaining about perfectly legal actions taken by companies.

YOU don't get special rights... not because you're white, not because you're male, not because you're queer, not because you're in the UK, not because... well, not because of anything - you are NOT special (unless we're talking special needs here)...

@raphjd said in BLM threatens riots if Mayor-elect Adams reinstitutes NYPD anti-crime units:

You have a well-documented habit of posting from liberal sites.

It's funny that I post a link to the actual video, but you don't like it, claiming that it is out of context but I can't find a video where he "predicts" rather than threatens.

Outside right-wing extremist media, this isn't a story... at all! It's not there because it's not newsworthy to them.

My comment that it was a prediction, not a threat, came from PRINTED material, not video... because when the right-wing media twisted his comments, he posted the transcript of the entire statement, not just the snippet that's being played on the media.

Just because your Russian friends/handlers think it's newsworthy, doesn't mean the rest of the (non-Trump) world agrees!

@raphjd said in Facebook bans the truth, yet again:

@bi4smooth

You are in total lockstep with the CCP/DNC when it comes to hating the rights of people, except to riot and loot.

You are a communist! You want the State to enforce your vision of fairness.

Facebook has just as many rights as you - no more, no less. You want to post your stuff, post it! Just not on Facebook!

I don't know what their issue with that story would be - but that's not the point! The issue isn't whether the censorship of that post is MORALLY right or wrong, it's whether it is LEGAL... which it is, and you just get your panties in a wad every time they "decide" against you...

And to that end, I have no problems... you can be a whiny little bitch all day every day... (holding my tongue... physically LOL)

But when you take the NEXT STEP, and propose that they should be FORCED to allow your content - BY LAW.... well, that's communism (the State making decisions about who can do what, where, and when - in the name of the "common good"), and I want no part of it!

@bi4smooth

Ok, Feng Feng, whatever you say.

According to the FB auto-ban on the article, it says the moderation staff found it to be a "privacy concern" and "abusive".

I do love how, as a self-proclaimed "libertarian" you don't believe that humans have rights, but businesses do. Whatever, you do you or do the CCP/DNC.

You are butt hurt and screechy about Kyle, but you try to hide Bicep Bitch's crimes. Why is that? It reminds me of how you desperately tried to downplay the summer of love.

You continue to have a problem with the difference:

• Facebook has the right (legal) to delete anything they want - it's their platform
• Facebook is not right (moral) when they choose to delete content for political or other non-safety issues.

In other words: they are wrong to do it (moral), but it is their right (legal) to do wrong (moral) things on their own services!

You have NO right (legal) to use their platform! It is a privilege that they give to you (and they clearly give to a wide swath of people!), and they have the right (legal) to rescind that privilege at a whim!

Look: @raphjd is the Administrator here - on GT.ru. He's the OLNY person I've ever seen with that label, so let's assume he's the ONLY Administrator.

As such, @raphjd has the RIGHT (legal) to censor me, or even ban my account! But exercising that right (legal) - and I am thankful that he does NOT choose to exercise that right (legal) - would be wrong (moral).

Facebook (or Meta) is a little bigger than GT.ru (just a little, tho!) - and so there are LOTS of "administrators" at Meta... EACH OF WHOM have the shared right (legal) to censor (or censure!) content on their site! That doesn't mean it is right (moral) for them to do so - and I've repeatedly said I do NOT agree with their inconsistent and overly partisan application of their own wishy-washy rules.

If understanding the difference between a legal right and a moral one makes me a "liberal elite", then I accept that... just the same as being a supporter of "Law and Order" apparently does too...

If your definition of Conservative is dumb and blindly following Donald Trump, then count me out. But I'm keeping my Republican Party membership (voter registration)...

@raphjd said in BLM threatens riots if Mayor-elect Adams reinstitutes NYPD anti-crime units:

@bi4smooth

I've seen the video posted by a lot of different people.

Why haven't I seen it on your beloved liberal media?

This will come as a shocker!, I'm sure:

• I am not an editor for any media outlet - I'm just a lowly system architect (computer consultant) for a US federal contractor...
• I do not love any media - I don't even have any favorites - I think they're mostly all corrupt and profit-driven (vs. the news media of old who were information and public-service driven)

As such, I cannot answer for them... unlike some, I try NOT to put words into other people's mouths - at least not without making it clear!

@raphjd said in Facebook bans the truth, yet again:

Umm, why the fuck are you attacking me?

All I said was that Facebook has banned news about Bicep Bitch.

Nice to see you once again siding with the liberal crowd, though. Go back to snortching Pelosi's gin-soaked pussy farts.

If it's a liberal idea to "just say no" to 17 y/o vigilante "justice", then count me in!

But since when were the Libs the "Law and Order" party?

I don't have any idea on what basis Facebook would have denied your story - it's a legit story... the guy is a police antagonist with a long list of "interactions" with the cops. That's (apparently) a fact.

Facebook (or, should i say "Meta") has been a crazy place for a LONG time - I'm not no it, and don't think I ever will be. I'm also not on Instagram, SnapChat, or most of the other social media outlets...

You haven't seen me supporting Facebook's actions - what you've seen me do is say they have the RIGHT to be idiots and assholes on their own platforms! It's a private company, not a Gov't!

@deliverator9 said in Seedbox sharing?:

Hi all,

I share a seedbox with a buddy of mine. We don't live together and have different IP addresses. Since we share a seedbox, should we share my account as well, or should he sign up for his own? I don't want to break the rules of course, and I don't have a problem sharing the account with him.

If I am reading the FAQ correctly it seems I should probably just share my account with him.

Thanks for any clarification!

Multiple users from the same IP address (same seedbox, in this case) will be flagged as multiple accounts.

I use a VPN - exclusively - to connect to this site (and esp the tracker), and since I use a common VPN, sometimes other users wind up on the same VPN server as me... in the past, I've been flagged - however, the staff hasn't flagged me in a while so I think they've improved their VPN "detection" so this doesn't happen too often.

So, yes - share a server, share an account!

You guys are just awful pieces of shit, aren't you?

Most victims deserved it?

really?

Are you fucking serious?

As for the witness in the Rittenhouse trial - did you actually READ the charges against him? Clearly not!

He has a history of being antagonistic to the local police: his "prowling" charges are for videotaping off-duty cops. His defense in some of these other charges is that he's being targeted by the cops because he's constantly revealing their abuses of power and "blue privilege"...

So, if I can summarize @raphjd: it's GREAT if you go out onto some obscure, dark-web, porn site and RAIL against the cops... but go out and actually REVEAL their bad behavior ... well, then you're a bad-guy?

Talk about (and apparently, that's all you will do) having your cake and eating it too!

Is he some angel? no! But the judge in the Rittenhouse case has a reputation for being a hard-ass, by the book jurist, and both sides (prosecution and defense) have suggested that he has shown that in this case.

The question in Rittenhouse isn't really WHETHER he's guilty of something, but rather WHAT he's guilty of - how LONG will he spend in jail. His claims of self-defense were demolished by his own testimony: he knew the one guy was unarmed, they threatened each other, and out of fear that the other guy would take HIS gun, he killed him? No. Sorry, it's not self-defense when you goad the other guy into being aggressive with you and YOU are the only one with the gun to start with! Things might be different if there had been an actual (non-verbal) struggle... but this wasn't that...

"Honest officer, it was self defense... I poked my gun into his back and told him "Hands up" - but he turned around after he put his hands up, and he had a real threatening look in his eye - I was afraid, HONESTLY afraid - so I shot him right then and there before he could hurt me."

@musclelv1972 said in Why is everything new being deleted from the "Fan Sites" category?:

I wish something more could be done to prevent the sudden removal of fansite stuff right after posting. I mean there was a rip of Iggy Lopez's stuff and it didn't even begin to download and seed because it was removed so fast.

So unless I'm mistaken, once the connection is made between seeder and leecher, the tracker is no longer a required part of the equation. And the DMCA (as well as duplicate) removals just take them away from the tracker - they have no way to infiltrate the seeder's systems and remove content!

So: if you're seeing a torrent come up, and it's seeder starts to seed, and you get connected to that seeder, and while you're still downloading, the site removes the torrent (for whatever reason), your download should continue until completion.

Because the torrent was removed, you won't be "charged" for the download, but you won't be able to SEED it either, upon completion.

I know people are often confused about this part of torrenting: the tracker doesn't contain any part of the actual files! All of the content is on other users' computers! The tracker is just an "arbiter" - connecting people who want to people who have!

When you "browse" torrents here, you're just looking at a catalog of material people are seeding. (Thousands of users means many thousands of seeded items)... When you "download" from the site, you're actually just downloading a "descriptor" of the contents (including file checksums - to make sure you're getting valid content)... your torrent client program then use that descriptor, and a connection to the "tracker," to establish DIRECT connections to the seeders.

From that point on, all of the data transfers are between seeder and leecher - with no action happening on (or through) the tracker, except that both report TO the tracker that they are talking/trading data. (That is where/how the quotas are established/maintained).

So, when a torrent is removed from the tracker, the list of seeders the leecher got are still valid, and the seeders are still seeding (they don't need access to the tracker, except that the tracker is how leechers "hear/learn about" the seeder). Thus, the torrent is "unregistered" - not dead.

Long story short, once you are leeching, if the tracker removes the torrent, your leech should be able to continue... unless the SEEDER also (typically out of frustration) deletes the torrent from their client, in which case, they are no longer seeding and the torrent really IS dead.
