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

@bi4smooth

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.

In spite of your attraction to the young Doctor, and/or the fact that the actor (Neal Patrick Harris) is in-fact gay, this TV series has no real "gay" connection... I am certain it is probably available on other torrent sites... but it wouldn't be appropriate here.

https://www.gaytorrent.ru/rules.php

6. All non-porn material must be LGBTQ themed by its main plot and characters or contain a recurring LBGTQ subplot. Gay-interest, an openly gay actor or minor gay references are insufficient to meet this requirement.

@djsoapbubble said in copyright infringement:

@looselips Yeah, it stinks. Especially if a lot of time and effort has been put into it. Hence, the reason why I don't share as much is that I'm very detail-oriented. I've always been since young adolescence. It's a terrible trait to have and I think a lot of that has to do with me being a competitive person. But, going back to your original post, it sucks. I can empathize. Because when time and effort are both involved, it doesn't outweigh or even provide a fair equilibrium to the outcome.

I have had some minor luck in re-posting the same torrent (with minor changes - like adding a pic) about a month or so after the DMCA, and in some cases they've "taken"...

But, for example, I once posted 10 complete "movies" (collections of 4-6 scenes) from one studio... these were older - like 10 years ago... 2 were DMCA'd, the rest were not. Go figure!

Let's not forget here that we're technically sharing copyrighted material - porn or otherwise!

I personally take a "don't look a gift-horse in the mouth" approach! "Free porn" is just that!

@raphjd said in Canadian woman diagnosed with "climate change":

Youtube Video

Let's ignore her age, health issues, and living conditions so we can diagnose her with climate change.

I'm gonna see if my GP will diagnose me with time travel.

Doctors should stick to medicine, and not (at least not on medical charts) make political statements.

Blaming this woman's issues on "Climate change" is the moral/medical opposite of declaring a gunshot victim's cause of death as "lead poisoning"!

ALL of her symptoms (the patient he gave that diagnosis to) were attributed to high heat levels... that's medically evident. That those heat levels are a direct result of climate change is not a medical analysis! It is a political one...

Did you even see the video?

He clearly said, "We will take to the streets. There will be riots, there will be fires and there will be bloodshed".

The clip was edited - unsurprisingly, since if they played it in full context, it would likely match what was reported elsewhere: that he PREDICTED that would be the result, nor that he THREATENED that would be the result.

Anyway, you again miss the salient facts, instead focusing in the minutiae - with particular focus on ensuring your every assertion is agreed upon in its full entirety! (Ego much?)

The important facts here are that the Dems got themselves another liberal Mayor of NYC, and the bitch ain't even installed yet and the left-wing "progressives" are already attacking him as not being liberal enough! BLM is attacking him as-if he wasn't also a black man! As-if he didn't know what it was like, being black in NYC!

GOD I love it when Liberals turn cannibalistic!

They've been doing it in Congress since Biden and the new congress took office earlier this year (why SHIT has been passed so far - though this Infrastructure bill is a rare sign that they might be able to take each others dicks out of their mouths long enough to get something done! Which is too bad.... not that we didn't need the Infrastructure spending - we did - but this will be seen as a Biden "win", and he's been so GOOD at failing so far! LOL)

How did I discredit you - other than your choice of source. Your original post was literally little more than a link to an outside story with a 1-liner that clearly was a response to the headline alone.

You take things too personally... whats' more, you assume nearly everything I write is directed at you... and that's not the case... by a LONG shot!

The problem isn't you - it's the "uprising" of the extremist media and their insipid characterizations of "the other side" as evil, misguided fools - as anyone can plainly see! - if you just buy into their content!

I love that too, but that's not my BEST orgasm! The BEST ones for me come when I'm being restrained and can't touch my own cock, then I'm brought to orgasm -either directly, or with some edging- completely out of my own control!

At least those are the times when I cum the MOST and HARDEST!

Ok Feng Feng, whatever you say.

Just curious: when I reply to your post, agreeing with much of the story it relays, while also decrying the unnecessary hyperbole, why do you even feel the need to reply to me? Esp. in such a useless way?

You know, one of my daughters - when she was 12 and got her first cell phone - absolutely HAD to be the last-to-text.. "OK", "fine", "Yes", "No" - whatever, she HAD to be the last to text -- if you replied to her "OK" with "Great!", she would reply something else... her older brother tried to see if there was a limit (he could be a douche at that age) - 30+ worthless texts later, he gave up!

There will be riots, fire, and bloodshed if NYC tries to fight crime.

It goes back to the video I previously posted where BLM admits that they are there solely to protect black criminals.

I do LOVE IT when the Dems elect one of their own to office & then immediately turn on them when they don't "toe the line" on every liberal (aka: progressive) nutball idea out there!

But, in typical @raphjd fashion (ok, typical Russian Misinformation Troll-Farm fashion), he takes Dem infighting and proclaims it a nuclear conflict!

Once again, read your own story:

• a NYC BLM leader, Hawk Newsome, predicted (not threatened) that there may be "bloodshed & riots" if newly elected NYC Mayor Eric Adams (a Black Man) keeps his campaign promise of reinstating the NYPD undercover anti-crime unit - one that previously had been targeted at (nearly exclusively) Black & Latino neighborhoods, and disbanded in 2020 as a result.
• When shown the Right-Wing media reports (like @raphjd's source) - proclaiming a threat of violence, Newsome himself claimed that he was talking about Adams' campaign promises - and noted that when he personally spoke to Mayor-Elect Adams on Wednesday, he was bothered that they "didn't offer a comment on police reform" during those talks.
• Newsome did re-iterate that his group would (again) take action should they feel the NYPD is targeting their community, stating "We will be at his front door, we will be at Gracie Mansion, we will be in the streets if he allows these police to abuse us."
• But Newsome also clarified in the same, written, statement: "I am not threatening anyone. I am just saying that it's a natural response to aggressive oppression, people will react."
• On Thursday, Mayor-Elect Adams reiterated his campaign vow to reinstate the plainclothes cop units. He also downplayed Newsome's comments regarding an uproar occurring if the undercover cops return, stating: "They didn't say any of that in the meeting" Wednesday.
• Adams added: "I ran on a very clear message: My city will not be unsafe and that is what we're going to do. Clear plan: Putting together a plainclothes anti-gun unit—that will happen—and the city is going to be safe."
• Adams also took a shot, Thursday, at the power of Newsome's group (one of several under the BLM "banner" in NYC), telling the NY Post that the group is "not representative of the Black Lives Matter movement" and adding (regarding the "threats" of violence as the Post was reporting) that he didn't think their group "had the power" to organize itself that widely.

So - lots of important parts to the story, but no threats of riots (just predictions that they would come if the NYPD targeted their communities again).

More importantly (to my mind): this is just more PROOF that the Dems can't govern! For all of their pie-in-the-sky talk when they're on the outside looking in, they can't even agree to fight crime during a crime wave when they're "in power"....

Personally, while I love the anti-Dem reporting, I could do without the hyperbolic twisting of the facts... they (Dems) SUCK at actual governing well enough, we don't have to give them ammunition to argue back by inflating the truth!

@lololulu19 said in State Street Global Advisors will need permission to hire White men:

@raphjd I always wondered why if certain things are not supposed to be considered, why are they ASKED on job applications?

For instance...
age
marital status
race
whether they have children
etc.

It used to annoy me when I would see people go to job interviews with their real (or fake) wife and their real (or fake) children just to get the job and a bigger salary. If I was hiring someone.. my #1 rule would be to never hire someone that you cannot fire. For instance, if the person applying for the job is married - or even a close friend of someone who already is employed by you.. you can't fire either of them without a problem. If someone is a minority of some sort.. you can't fire them without risking a discrimination lawsuit. If the applicant is a female in her 20's - you risk being stuck paying for 6 months of paid maternity leave, and having your group coverage insurance rates skyrocket - not to mention other reasons for not being able to fire them.

Well now - it is perfectly clear to all of us why YOU never rose to the ranks of the powerful business elite!

@lololulu19 said in "Students of Color, minus Asian" at U of Maryland:

@raphjd To liberals, asians are a problem because they are not only minorities, but also tend to be intelligent and good in math! Having a high IQ is RACIST in the minds of liberals.

It has always bewildered me why an employer nor anybody else can require an IQ test. The closest a University can get to that are SAT or ACT scores, and even then, tests are now under attack as measures of selecting students. Some states want to abolish testing altogether, while other states are giving "bonus" points or biased grades based upon race.

Wait... You don't see your characterization of "All Asians are good at math" as racist?

You seriously think "it's only racist if it's bad"?

I'm sorry - but the idea that "Asians are somehow the good minority" is racist as fuck!

I'm dating an Asian man: his dick is every bit as big as mine (which isn't bragging for either of us, but it is a de-validation of the stereotype that Asian men have small dicks); and he's "about average" in Math (I work in Computer Science, so my own math skills are much higher than average - not just because of study, but also because I use higher math every day in my work).

Is it any more or less racist to not hire a Mexican applicant because you assume he's lazy than it is to hire an Asian because you think he's better at math?

NO!

Both decisions are based on racial stereotypes and are therefore racist decisions - even though the second one favors the Asian applicant!

My beliefs - not stated as facts, nor being judgemental of people who believe or act differently:

I think, as with COVID-19, safety comes first, but what that safety IS may be different depending on where you live:

• I live in Florida, USA - I am on a drug class called PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) that makes sex with-or-without a condom safe from HIV (but not any other STD!). I can have bareback sex without worrying about contracting HIV... but we'd be foolish to ignore other STDs and focus solely on HIV! So there are times I have bareback sex, but mostly I use condoms to protect against those other STDs. Most importantly, though: I have ZERO worry about contracting HIV - regardless of whether we use a condom or not - and that's nice! Plus, my insurance pays 100% of the PrEP (because it's a preventative), so it's FREE to me!
• My cousin lives in a European country (I will leave it unnamed here) where PrEP isn't available (at least not for that use), so he doesn't HAVE the option to use PrEP - and thus condoms are his safest bet. Always! When he has bareback sex (which he admits to doing - though he professes "only on 3rd dates or later" [Really? he "dates"? - but I digress...] he gets worried - esp if the other guy disappears or reveals that he's been promiscuous...[are there Gay Guys who are single and who are NOT promiscuous? Just saying! LOL]
• My cousin-in-law [brother's wife's brother?] lives in Australia, but is already HIV+ and takes modern HIV drug therapy. He is "undetectable," as-is his husband [they were both HIV+ before they met - in fact, an HIV support group is how they met!]. They do not use condoms, even though they regularly have 3rds join them for sex. (No, I haven't joined them - I've never been to Australia, and they've never come here in the US...) They do not profess to have any worries about HIV (so long as they stay on their meds), nor do they say they worry about spreading HIV, as all the medical experts seem to agree that undetectable = untransmittable.

So, depending on your circumstances, safety first may mean mandatory use of condoms, or it may not...

In my mind, people on the HIV meds - whether HIV- on PrEP or HIV+ and undetectable - are the safest people to have sex with - WRT transmission of HIV, anyway...

People who are HIV- and not on PrEP should be using condoms because otherwise, they're putting their own health in the hands of the people they're having sex with (even if in a relationship!)

People who are HIV+ and are not taking meds (or are not undetectable yet) should also be using condoms, as otherwise they are endangering those other people - in what I PERSONALLY would consider a criminal way.

Would that life was full of easy answers... but that's not the Universe we live in, now, is it? This shit gets complicated... and it always does! We just do the best with what we know (so far)...

One final comment:

The COVID-19 mRNA vaccines are a DIRECT result of Moderna and Pfizer research looking into HIV vaccines. Now, HIV isn't a corona-virus, but the research having already been done, they didn't have a difficult time getting the technology "re-tuned" for COVID - and quickly!

This bodes well for future vaccines (esp. since the PREDICTED protection levels were in the 70% range, with a 50% range considered a "success" - and the 90+% rate achieved being astronomically above expectations!)... and it may yet bode well for an HIV vaccine.

Remember though: when we say something is a vaccine we are saying that it is something that triggers our own immune system into successfully fighting off the pathogen. You still have to have an immune system, which some HIV sufferers do not.

So, no panacea - no miracles - no cure-alls - but some early, and promising, steps into the next phase of our (humanity's) fight against disease.

@raphjd said in "Students of Color, minus Asian" at U of Maryland:

https://notthebee.com/article/the-university-of-maryland-just-introduced-a-new-racial-category-students-of-color-minus-asian

Because liberals believe that being racist against far east asians isn't racist.

Proof that "academics" can be just as foolish as the rest of us from time to time!

One of the "oddities" of the 2020 Census results has been the large number of people - same people, mind you - who in the 2000 Census declared their race to be Asian, but declared their race in 2020 to be White.

Similar "jumps" to "Whiteness" come from previously declared "mixed race" individuals.

So - Asians are being "kicked out" of the "People of Color" label?

Why is that?
Do they want to be White?
Do Whites want more numbers to maintain their "sense of majority" in the population?
Do Blacks not want them because their skin tone is too-White?
Do Blacks (and/or Hispanics) not want them because they lessen the "severity" of the apparent biases they face?

It's silly to lump Asians in with Whites when looking at racial issues... especially in today's global multi-culturization! The foolishness of this is comedic even...

But the more interesting question is why? Why did they feel the need to do this?
