@raphjd Let us remember that this thread is not in the Politics and Debate section. Here, we talk about issues, not other people.

FWIW, I found this on the interwebs:

@raphjd said in Colorado Springs Gay Nightclub Shooting:

Did you read the link I posted?

No. I don't read links that you post.

@raphjd said in Colorado Springs Gay Nightclub Shooting:

Turns out that the shooter is "non-binary" and uses they/them

The shooter's attorney has said this, but was the shooter "non-binary" before the shooting? On hearing this, my first reaction was that he/they/it was rather stupidly thinking that if he declared himself to part of the/ LGBTQIA+ community, then he wouldn't get a hate crime escalation.

This is faulty logic. A person can be charged with a bias-related/hate crime even if they are a member of the target community. Furthermore, nullifying a hate crime escalation wouldn't reduce his sentence: If convicted [only] on five counts of first-degree homicide with no escalation, the shooter will still get life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. Prosecutors might not even pursue the hate crime escalation in court as it adds a lot of work and delay, and won't change the ultimate result.

@kajoux It seems that the search engine looks for Monster.AND.Anthony in either the title or the description, but won't return a result if one search term is in the title and the other is in the description. This is probably hardwired into the search logic and would be considered a feature rather than a bug.

@john32123666 Follow-up: I found that my uTorrent had installed version 3.6. By going back to 3.5.5 everything now works fine.

It seems that version 3.6 added a tracker "wss://tracker.btorrent.xyz" to every torrent, which would try to update every 2 minutes. Going back to 3.5.5, this tracker still shows up on every torrent but with a status of "invalid URL."

This might have been the problem--having this weird tracker on every torrent, constantly updated, may have swamped the client. Users of other torrent clients might check to see if they have been automatically update to a newer version with a similar "feature," and if so, consider going back to an earlier version.

@PojuLover Follow-up: That worked perfectly. I owe you a big favour

@PojuLover Thank you very much! I thought I was using 3.5.5, but now I see that it automatically installed 3.6, so I'll go back to 3.5.5.

@john32123666 Thank you very much! If you hear a loud explosion from central Canada, you'll know it didn't work...

Count me in (meaning, out) too. What's weird is that I'm part of four different torrent sites, and a very few torrents from each site seem to be working. But most of them appear to be stuck trying to update the tracker. They show zero seeds and zero peers, even on a new freeleech torrent that shows dozens of each on the search site.

FWIW, I'm using uTorrent 3.5.5. I know uT 3.x is a piece of doodoo, but my antivirus software won't let me download an earlier version to replace it.

@PojuLover said in Tracker not works - unable to connect to tracker:

since I use µTorrent 2.2.1 ... downloads and seeds perfectly and instantly,

Thanks, I'll give this a try. Is there any trick to installing the older version on top of the newer one? Will it keep settings, and then delete the newer version? I don't want to lose everything while doing this.

@Randevouz90 said in Returning Queen:

@eobox91103 Would you give me a hand getting back up?

Getting you up sounds fun...

didn't use the site for months and my download rights are now stripped! just like me no on the bed

I suggest contacting the help desk at https://www.gaytor.rent/helpdesk.php

@Randevouz90 Welcome! And well-cum.

Four other Hogan's Heroes cast members were of Jewish heritage--those playing Col. Klink, Sgt. Schultz, Maj. Hochstetter, and Gen. Burkhalter. Hollywood is a strange place.

These questions go away if one is careful with vocabulary. "Gay, bi, & straight," as colloquial terms for "homosexual, bisexual, & heterosexual," refer to what people a person is generally attracted to. These terms are generalised categories that don't fully describe the variety of sexual attraction.

The four behaviours you mention are that--behaviours, or activities. They may bring pleasure and/or revulsion, but they are things people do. Psychologically "straight" men can experience pleasure when their prostate is stimulated by a dildo, a strap-on, or a penis in their rectum (as we find in lots of "gay" porn). Having said that, many such men can have a socially-conditioned dislike of those activities. (Putting this in colloquial language, a guy can enjoy getting fucked in the ass regardless of whether he's gay or straight.) Similarly, psychologically "gay" men can experience pleasure when their penis is stimulated inside a vagina.

As for "sodomy:" This is a legal term, but there is no crisp definition. The traditional definition in law is "unnatural sexual connection." This has been fine-tuned a bit in recent decades to "oral or anal copulation between humans, especially those of the same sex." (Note that this definition would cover oral sex between a married male-female couple. People are often surprised at this.) In the US, sodomy (however it is defined) cannot be prosecuted if performed by consenting adults in private. (See Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U.S. 558 (2003])

Is heterosexual sex outside of marriage sodomy?
Is heterosexual sex which employs contraceptives, sodomy?

If one considers these activities to be "unnatural," then they would be sodomy. Few prosecutors would follow that path.

(It is worth noting that extra-marital sexual activity is not criminalised in Europe or Canada, but is a felony is some US states. It is rarely prosecuted.)

@flozen said in Virgin Atlantic changes dress code:

Could a frequent flyer check this out and report back,

I have "known" several flight attendants, and I don't recall any piercings.

Perhaps I should do more research.

@lololulu19 said in Why is porn blocked on the internet?:

Just because we don't LIKE something doesn't mean we have the right to eliminate it

WiFi in a public place is a service owned by that place (e.g., a restaurant). They're paying for it, and they "have the right" to make the rules.

If someone wants to make their own rules, they can use their own connection to the internet--such as through a mobile phone.

@Xezak Welcome! I hope you enjoy being part of the site.

There are probably some specific help pages/comment threads that can answer your question in detail, and I'm sure another Gentle User will step in here and point you there.

For now, let's look at some very general concepts: None of the thousands (millions?) of videos or images featured on the torrent pages are stored by the gaytor.rent website. Instead, individual users (like me, and now you) have some of them on their computers. Think of this website as a "matchmaker," connecting your computer to other computers so files can be shared back and forth between users.

The small "torrent file" you've downloaded from this site isn't a video. It's sort of like a passport that lets your computer connect to the other users so that you can download video material directly from them, and then the video (a much larger file) will show up on your computer.

This requires having a software application running on your computer (a "torrent client") that does the actual connecting-to-others and sharing files. I'm afraid that I don't know anything about iPads, but other users here do and they can probably point you to a web page that has the directions you need. The setup can be tricky, but if you get stuck, don't be afraid to ask questions in the forum. All of us had to learn this stuff when we got started.

Good luck, and again, welcome!

I don't think it's anything sinister or complicated:

• Public spaces: McDickalds or Starfucks probably doesn't want somebody at one of their tables with an orgy on the screen.

• Bandwidth: Watching porn consumes a lot of bandwidth--it's a large percentage of internet traffic as it is.

"Public WiFi" is the private property of whoever is letting you use it, so they can make whatever rules they want.

(Pubic WiFi would be something entirely different.)
