@bi4smooth

For a "conservative", you say anything thing to defend liberal bullshit.

You stupid, stupid man... I'm not defending it! I'm pointing out that this stupid shit comes from an area FULL of radical leftists (who want to control the way people think JUST AS BADLY as you do! Just in different ways!)

This "story" is like pointing out a barking dog as-if it was meowing like a cat! NO! It's just another barking dog, and another radical trying to ENFORCE their point of view.

IMHO, both should be "put down" (the radical left and radical right, not the dog! I have nothing against dogs!)

I know you are too fucking stupid to get it, but I have not argued on either side of the abortion issue. I have just pointed out that you idiotic liberals are all over the map on every topic to suit your current agendas.

You DO know that FREEDOM is about each person having their own thoughts and ideas, right?

Or are you still in Middle school, exerting your independence by being just like everyone else!

The Republican Party has plenty of differing views - only the Trumpite wing seems to relish in the old Patty Duke Show song: ... "They laugh alike, they walk alike,
At times they even talk alike - You can lose your mind"

BTW, Comrade - where's your "love of all things Putin" been hiding lately? He's still feeding your narrative! You just don't acknowledge it so much anymore...

I wonder why?

@raphjd said in Democrats throw "birthing people" under the bus:

Ah, so there aren't any gay trans-men.

The rest of your post is just typical liberal bullshit.

I know you are too fucking stupid to get it, but I have not argued on either side of the abortion issue. I have just pointed out that you idiotic liberals are all over the map on every topic to suit your current agendas.

What about bald trans man? When they get pregnant, are they denied abortion rights because they're bald? because they're trans? or because they're pregnant?

What about rich, White trans men? When they get pregnant, are they denied abortion rights because they're White? because they're trans? or because they're pregnant? Oh, wait! They're White - they're not denied anything... White people don't want abortion rights, they're too perfect to need them!

So, riddle-me-this, bat-shit-crazy-man? When a Trans person is given a speeding ticket, is it trans-phobia?

@bearuk08 said in How important is coming out to you? and Why?:

If you can live with your own circle of people then why go into hassle of coming out?

But living with your own circle technically is coming out. Regardless of scale, you did come out to a certain group of people.

The importance of this is releasing the shame you feel, and secondly, feeling safe. Having a sense of safety and security is important, that coming out affords you.

Again, and more succinctly, I will gently point out that some people never experience fear while growing up gay - they feel acceptance and love (and safety) from the get-go....

And others live in a culture, where "coming out" to anyone but your actual lover is virtually impossible - and risky! Not for their health, but for their lives (and those of their families and lovers!)

There is no "shared" world experience to be had...

We each have our own paths... in so far as you can find people whose path is similar to your own, it can be very nice! But not everyone has that luxury...

@raphjd

Do you even KNOW where Fairfax County, VA is located?

Berkely, CA is less liberal than that place!

Being amazed by this "news" would be like being amazed that school lunches in Menphis, TN served BBQ pork! Or that the Waco, TX school district has a "comparative world religions" class that spent 9/10 of the curriculum discussing the differences between the Protestant sects!

Sheesh... talk about fake news!

News flash: the ghost of Imelda Marcos was seen in a shoe store in Manila!

ROFL - I have no want, wish, or desire to take or pass any litmus test you may have for my political leanings. And failing one (or all) of your ridiculous tests for being a conservative means nothing to anyone not going by the name @raphjd... not worth the photons coming out of your monitor!

@raphjd said in Democrats throw "birthing people" under the bus:

@bi4smooth

Your extreme TDS is showing.

You can't see the extreme bullshit in the liberal argument.

You clowns tell us that men have periods and get pregnant, then you tell us that men can't have abortions because they don't have vaginas.

If men can have periods and get pregnant, then they can have abortions.

Clearly, you are claiming that trans-men are not men because you said;

Exactly how can a man have an abortion?

You haved denied the existence of every trans-man out there.

You denied Thomas Beatie and every man that gave birth after him.

You are a typical liberal POS.

You're a deluded freak - abortion is not a trans issue! If a trans-man gets pregnant, it's pretty damned likely that it was planned... and if not, well the fact that they're pregnant and may want the freedom to choose to abort that pregnancy IS NOT A TRANS ISSUE!

Your White Power -- oops, White Privilege -- is really what's at stake here!

@bi4smooth said in Help me with this torrent.:

Just a note: there is no value in deleting the DATA when you remove a torrent to re-download it.

Good point--I think I was on autopilot when I typed this. Deleting torrent + data is my default when cleaning out my torrent data folder after I've archived any downloads to another location. In the case of a "stillborn" torrent, there wouldn't have been any data so nothing was lost.

On a related note, a couple of days ago I had another one of these "won't start" torrents. I was reluctant to delete it and start over as I had carefully selected about 10% of the many files for downloading, and I didn't want to do that over again. I let things be, and after two days or so the torrent started up and I got the stuff I wanted. That's a longer delay than usual, but patience paid off.

(Who was it that said, "Lord, give me patience, and give it to me NOW?")

I heard something from a staffer once:

• MOST of our torrents come from a small handful of "mass uploaders" (bless them!)
• MOST of them are, at any given point in time, seeding hundreds, if not thousands of torrents
• MOST of them have limited (less than 10G) upload speeds and can "feed" about 10-20 connections at a time.

SO, with that in mind, when there are only a few seeders, sometimes you have to "wait your turn" to connect to them because they're busy seeding other torrents to other users...

IMHO, it helps to keep in mind that ALL of us volunteer our resources to share all this awesome porn (even the fat, hairy, tattooed guys I'm totally not into! LOL)!!!

@raphjd said in Democrats throw "birthing people" under the bus:

@bi4smooth

It says everything about you liberals.

You idiots flip flop all over the map, to suit your agenda.

As I said, if I dared claim, as you did, that man can't get pregnant, you would have called me a transphobe. But since I sided with the trans community, you idiots claim I'm a transphobe. That is the kind of garbage people you liberals are.

You liberals are nothing more than bad faith actors.

You can't see the idiocy of your own argument.
You hear from 2 different people that you're "inserting" the trans issue into a subject that is patently NOT ABOUT trans people, and largely does not affect any of them (at least not as a result of their being trans).

This is the equivalent of claiming that white privilege is a trans issue... or that social security running out of money is a trans issue...

Just when are you going to make Trump's loss in 2020 a trans issue? I can't wait to hear your twisted mind make a "logical" attempt to make THAT jump!

@serdue0

Maybe something changed? That torrent has 200+ seeders!

If you cannot download that, then you're being blocked (by your ISP, maybe)... or else you don't have the harddrive space where you said to save the torrent data!

@stam8 said in qBitTorrent GT.ru Guide:

Can you kindly tell what you think is making my qbt client slow and freeze from the jump? It's been like this for 3+ yrs despite updates. could it be the number of torrents? it's in win10

The only time I've had performance issues with qBitTorrent myself was when I ran it on a virtual machine with not enough RAM and/or swap space.

OK, so there is a difference between "coming out" and "living out".

"Coming out" is when you reveal to your family, friends, co-workers, etc. that you are LGBTQ+. For some, this is a big deal, for others, less so. It largely depends on your family of origin, and how "closeted" you lived before...

"Living out" is when you live in a manner and lifestyle that doesn't seek to hide your sexuality. You invite your same-sex partner to your company picnics, you discuss your latest same-sex person-of-interest with your family, friends, etc.

For some, "living out" from an early age erases the need for "coming out".... For others, they maintain "separate" lives: a life where people do NOT know their sexuality, and a separate life where they DO... and the people in each "life" are carefully separated... this is "life in the closet", and we generally know that it is unhealthy... But, lest you judge anyone: in some cultures/countries LGBTQ+ is still illegal (even under penalty of DEATH!)

We each must blaze our own path...

@raphjd said in Democrats throw "birthing people" under the bus:

It's funny, if I said that men can't give birth, the liberals here (including our resident Pelosi Repub) would have lost their shit at me and called me a transphobe, but when I call them out for denying that men can give birth, I get called a transphobe.

It says EVERYTHING about liberals.

Actually, it says a lot more about your sad mental state that you want to cloud the abortion-rights / right-to-life issues with trans issues...

Just how many accidental pregnancies do you think trans men have?

Yeah - this is the core issue... because, in your mind (what's left of it), everything having to do with differences in gender / sex / sexual orientation is a trans issue...

Pathetic... sad & pathetic...

@eobox91103

Just a note: there is no value in deleting the DATA when you remove a torrent to re-download it.

The data that has been downloaded already (if any) will be checked against the block-checksums that are in the .torrent file. If any block's checksum fails, you will re-download it in the next iteration. But, if you have blocks that are valid, you will NOT re-download the same data all over again.

So... delete torrent? yes, delete torrent + data? not usually

@LonelyBoy26

Your invitation is for a username & password... and you can actually login from multiple places (IPs) at the same time (witness the people who use seedboxes).

The issue isn't that anyone wants to restrict your access to the site - it is that multiple accounts are not permitted. (Otherwise, people would abuse the site's ratio rules by constantly creating new users!)

The way they catch multiple accounts is by seeing how many DIFFERENT USERS come from the same IP... not how many IPs you access from.

At least, that's how I understand it!

@raphjd

I think the actual transphobe is getting delusional - and seeing transphobia EVERYWHERE to justify her own issues...

Sad... just pathetic and sad...

Well, that sucks - there are only 3 seeders!

Meaning: there aren't a lot of choices WHERE to get this torrent FROM, and you can't request a re-seed.

Assuming you can download OTHER torrents, you'll just need to be patient with this one...

@whaler123

The issue you are describing was addressed by a rule change earlier this year:

Specifically:

• No coded names and titles, e.g. "J0hn D 0 3" for John Doe. Torrent titles must match the name of the video, program, etc. when known.

If/When you find content with these "coded" names, please report them & Staff will manage it...

@chrisliu9712 said in First gay film you ever watched?:

Brokeback Mountain

The first gay PORN I ever saw was a magazine (STARS, issue 13 [Tommy Wilde cover]) - I was hooked (subscribed to the mag and spilled GALLONS of cum over the pics!).

The first VIDEO I saw was Powertool (Jeff Stryker). I wasn't all that enthralled with the movie, but quickly found others that REALLY got my juices flowing (squirting)!
