I'll break my rule for a moment:

@raphjd said in BootieJizz is a fraud:

@eobox91103

BTW, I love that you are keeping up your childish "I'm not talking to you" so you post to others so you can reply to me.

Such profound narcissism! I was replying to the ridiculous fiction that was ignoring facts. Notice that there is another participant in this thread. It is not all about you.

You are so mature.

Good call.

I would make two observations here:

• In a forum thread, posts should be about the topic at hand, not the other posters. There is a pattern, though, of people replying to others with insults and other derogatory comments. If I were writing forum software, I would prevent the word "you" from being used. Casting insults at others instead of discussion is childish.
• The item just above might be a moot, though, as right now the forum is pretty much useless. The clumsy user interface and the chronic log-in problems have reduced traffic to porn requests and conspiracy theorists seeking an echo chamber, with poisonous posts sent to anyone who disagrees with the Dear Leader or his minions. One would think that a Forum Administrator would notice this--and perhaps care about it.

I know what you mean, but I find that term amusing nonetheless.

@raphjd Yes, it turns out that the "making of the 2015/2016/2017 calendar" is live at https://www.gaytor.rent/details.php?id=9ab2ee94bf51613b3f627acd8bc2072fddce83a45d3a9613 .

The "making of 2017" is dead at https://www.gaytor.rent/details.php?id=732bc6620d41e3363f627acd8bc2072fd8e78e14a66b4fa4 , but there are some good preview pics.

@raphd: Perhaps we can create a new board called "Transphobia" (perhaps a subset of "Politics and Debate?" for this kind of discussion.

@jsl76 You're quite right about Putin's agenda being carried out here. He's a very clever dictator, in that he's able to get lots of people to promote his cause without them knowing that they're doing it.

Putin knows from personal experience that governments (such as the Soviets) collapse from within rather than from outside pressure. His support of Trump in 2016 enhanced discord in the States, as well as a weakening of NATO. Not surprisingly, he also supported Brexit (to weaken the EU) and Scottish independence (perceived as weakening the UK). After the Brexit referendum, he called on PM Theresa May to rapidly implement Brexit because "it was the will of the people." Putin's support of popular preference (i.e., democracy) was, needless to say, quite out of character for him.

I can't address some of the more technical aspects of settings and such, but one technique that works quite well is to find a torrent with many files (freeleech or not) and then just select a few of them for download--perhaps 10% of the total volume). Those will often download quickly, and then as other users are clawing at the system to get the whole content, many will be directed to me for the 10% that I have.. This works best when there are only a few seeders vs. many leechers, such as in a newly uploaded (or newly freeleeched) torrent.

It's not unusual to get, over time, a ratio of 30-50 for such a torrent, which I keep seeding even if I'm not interested in the content. For example, as I type this, there's a newly uploaded torrent called "Tom fucks a nerd," that has only one seeder (likely the uploader) and so far three leechers (likely to be more soon). There are 296 files in this torrent, and if I set my client to get just 30 of them, my ratio on that torrent will be huge within a few days.

The only potential drawback to this approach is that the system will count this torrent against your "maximum number of simultaneous downloads" limit since you haven't downloaded all of the material. If that's an issue in your case, you can delete the torrent from your system after a couple of weeks after bumping up your ratio,

@freakmagnet said in Frequent "lost connection":

Anyhow, it hasnt posed any issues for me (it happened again twice in a comment -and my typing is not that slow!)

I notice this as well. Whenever I compose a post, I always copy it to my clipboard to that if the broken connection loses it, I can easily put it back.

@blablarg18 Once again we see the childish dynamic of, "If you can't discuss something rationally, call the other person names."

As for "comments of value," in this thread there are plenty from PedrocaWest...but replies to them are just old, worn-out copy/pastes from the Anti-Trans Playbook.

Here's an exercise for the reader: Do a search on "you" on this page in your browser. See how many times it shows up in the anti-trans replies? That's clear evidence that, when confronted with facts, the anti-transists simply start calling names. That makes a mockery of the forum--which should be about ideas, not personalities.

@raphjd <This is not a political comment.>
This has to be one of the funniest headlines in years: We have both "Joe Biden giving Boris Johnson a hand with his sausage," and the same fellow "beating off the EU."

This rivals my favourite from some years back--and article about how one could pickle gherkins and cucumbers at home. The title of the article? "You can put pickles up yourself."

@anythingold said in Do you have a good gaydar?:

Our culture has changed significantly, and now we have more trans people that exists more than ever. I think it takes a lot more careful observation to spot a gay guy nowadays. (just my opinion).

I agree. A radical take on this would be from the [late] sociologist Michel Foucault, himself a gay man, who saw "gay," "lesbian," and "bisexual" as social constructs, rather than actual categories of people. He didn't deny that GLB people exist, only that they were sociologically more similar to "left-handed people" who aren't a social category. (This is a simplification of his view.)

I'm not saying I agree with him, but it's an interesting idea to consider.

@blablarg18 said in Pope Emeritus (aka former Pope) Benedict XVI dead @ 95:

I don't ... claim to know everything.

Your post suggests otherwise.

@raphjd So do I presume that somebody with an "administrator" icon next to their name counts as staff? You no doubt inferred who I wanted to block.

Very well then, I'll just step away from the Forum (which is much less useful now given the redesign), It's clear that you want it to be your own litter-box designed to hold your own droppings.

@manhandler said in Terrible News for the Vaxxed: by 2025:

@eobox91103 Yes, the inventor of mRNA was cited in the article, for one. You think HE'S a CONSPIRACY NUT? HMMM? I don't think so, and he echoes what the former VP of Pfizer said, as well as the inventor of the PCR test. It's all singing to the same tune, and you are playing ignorant because it doesn't fit your belief system.

PLEASE learn to read. There was no reference to a source. For a web page to assert something without any backup doesn't count. Show me an reference.

But you can't. You're the one with the fixed (i.e., broken) belief system who doesn't believe in fact.

Responding to your trash posts is a fucking waste of time.

@john32123666 No, Easter is when Jesus comes out of the tomb...and if he sees his shadow, we have 40 more days of Lent.

@blablarg18 said in Pope Emeritus (aka former Pope) Benedict XVI dead @ 95:

Reality is a vast mosaic, none of us get to see it all.

Very true! I sometimes use the metaphor of people standing in a circle around an elephant--no one person gets the full concept.

I think it would help the discussion if there were some links or references, especially when an assertion like, "As a young theologian he [Ratzinger] was the key liberal voice at the Vatican." This is not the presumed narrative, so a link to something he wrote/published in that time frame would be very useful.

Is there any desire to fix the ongoing login/unavailable/error issues with the new forum software?

If not, rolling back to the previous version would be an improvement.

@chanelkokoro said in Party of family values part 1 :

We have to define where life begins. Science has defined it as viability. Because if you define life at the potentiality for life such as at conception that rabbit hole never ends. That means by the time you get that dick up there is a 3rd person in that room. have you ever condemned yourself for all the lives you've killed cumming in your toilet?

but then, why do conservatives claim to be pro life, but anti birth control and anti sex education that would lead to less abortions? how do y'all claim to be pro life and then try to gut and defund the programs that would help sustain that life? make it make sense.

"Viability" is a tricky concept: As medical science improves, smaller and smaller fetuses could be considered viable. But there could also be an argument (which I don't think anybody has made) that a child isn't "viable" until age 8 or 10, given that for some period of many years, s/he is dependent on other humans to provide food, shelter, etc. The young of other species (I'm thinking of turtles and fish, and likely others) are abandoned when hatched, so they are by definition viable at birth. I don't know the way out of this mess.

As for birth control and sex education, the conservatives' view on that baffles me. If conservatives don't want women to terminate an unwanted pregnancy, why don't they seek to prevent those unwanted pregnancies from occurring in the first place? Quite illogical on their part.

@john32123666 said in RARBG operation ended ...:

Hello guys,
We would like to inform you that we have decided to shut down our site.

Jesus, John, you almost gave me a heart attack when I thought you were referring to this site!

There is a message here, though, that sites like this do cost money to operate. Gentle users might consider some additional contributions.

@tenty said in where are the straight dudes:

there is a studio called "Broke Straight Boys". I believe the guys were gay for pay and used to be quite believable that they were straight whilst being paid to have sex with another guy.

It seems that many of the models on the Broke Straight Boys website are indeed straight, although certainly not all of them. Several are listed at https://pbc.xxx/wiki/Category:Broke_Straight_Boys_models , and many of the pages for the models have a link to the the guy's "real life" Facebook page. They run the gamut: "Adam Baer's" FB page shows him as a gun-loving dumb redneck, suggesting that he's really straight, even though he sucks and/or gets fucked in all of his BSB scenes. Others, such as "Richie West," will definitely trigger one's gaydar. This should not be surprising--putting two genuinely straight models together for a first-time male-male encounter would make for a clumsy (and likely amusing) scene.

But let's remember that porn is fantasy. We watch it because we like seeing two bodies interact with each other. We don't have--or need--knowledge of a model's inner psychology.

@shami94 said in This is what liberalism does to people:

Just checking in to see how raphjd's personal echo chamber is going. It's been a while but I see it hasn't changed.

It's the same: Some factless conspiracy-theory piece gets posted, and then when it's debunked, he devolves into insults because because there's no rational response to the truth. It's driven many people away from not only this forum group, but the forums in general. (Some of the latter effect might be due to the crappy new interface put up several months ago.)

Sometimes I wonder if it's all a satirical caricature. Nobody with a double-digit IQ could really believe some of the stuff that gets posted.
