@eobox91103 They're vaccinated, and yet FIVE of them got it...

And that should not surprise anyone. Recall what I wrote above:

@manhandler Let's back up to Immunology 101: Vaccinations do not stop people from becoming infected with COVID. Instead, it stops them from getting quite sick with it, and perhaps dying. The whole concept of vaccine immunity is based on pre-positioning antibodies within the body so that when COVID does enter the body, it gets nuked very quickly.

Vaccinations do no prevent serious infection. Instead, they help the body quickly neutralise the virus so the person doesn't get seriously ill and possibly die.

People who are not vaccinated do not have this protection, and many get sick and then die. Virtually everyone who has died of COVID in the US in the last month or so has not been vaccinated, many by choice. It's hard to understand why people would choose to be in that group.

@raphjd I think governments at all levels (and all political views) are largely screwing up the mask issue: Having a mandate or law about something is not the best way to get results. Instead, I favour an educational campaign that shows people why it's important to wear masks (or get a vaccine) is going to be more effective in the long run, but it's harder to do.

Clearly, the people on the bus without masks made a serious error, and also sent the wrong message. They're probably all vaccinated, and thus very likely won't get ill, but they could end up spreading it to others. That is definitely not leadership.

@manhandler Let's back up to Immunology 101: Vaccinations do not stop people from becoming infected with COVID. Instead, it stops them from getting quite sick with it, and perhaps dying. The whole concept of vaccine immunity is based on pre-positioning antibodies within the body so that when COVID does enter the body, it gets nuked very quickly. This is settled science, but if one doubts it, research words like "polio," "smallpox," or "measles." (Looking at tinfoil-hat conspiracy websites does not count as "research.")

The overwhelming majority of people dying from COVID in the last few weeks have not been vaccinated. (If I were filling out the death certificate for unvaccinated person who died of COVID, I'd be tempted to add "ignorance and stupidity" as contributing causes of death.) Again, you can research this. I won't spoon-feed links here as it will be a valuable exercise for one to learn how do to this.

It's still important for vaccinated people to wear masks indoors. If they are infected, there's a slim chance that they could spread the virus to an unvaccinated person who could then get sick and die. Many people find this to be a bad outcome.

@everyone Wikipedia needs to be approached with the same caution as any other online source: Look at the references cited to see if (a) they exist, (b) they're relevant and credible, and (c) actually say what the main article infers them to say.

Some Wikipedia articles are as well-referenced as a scholarly paper. For example, the article on "BitTorrent" has 114 references.

Other articles might have few or no relevant references, and there's an automatic banner at the top of the article basically saying "reader beware." I've seen this many times, and I take those pages with a large boulder of salt. Most recently, for example, I looked up the "Vallée Blanche Cable Car" in France. At the top of the page, the reader is warned,

• "This article includes a list of general references, but it remains largely unverified because it lacks sufficient corresponding inline citations. Please help to improve this article by introducing more precise citations."

It reminds us of the first lesson in Web Surfing 101: Don't believe what's on a web page unless you check its sources.

@dsowner said in Let's discuss those 'baited and exposed videos':
You make some very good points

Straight up, we don't know how old they really are, no matter what they claim. And they all look super young.

It's hard to judge a guy's age by looks, but some definitely look under 18. There's another gay-themed torrent site that only accepts content produced by established studios, which significantly reduces the risk of having under-age content. Conversely, there's a tube site (and no, I won't identify it) that seems to have lots of very questionable self-made videos.

Second, even if they're of age, these were uploaded without consent, obtained under false pretenses.

This starts to get complicated: .
As for consent, the guy making a baited selfie-vid is clearly consenting to uploading his video, but most likely to someone he hasn't met, and he falsely believes that it will remain private. That is naive, given that "the internet is forever." But many teens don't understand this, and at the very least it's uncool" to take advantage of this naivete.

A related issue involves hidden camera locker room/shower videos. Those that are real (as opposed to ones that are posed) are clearly not made with the subject's consent, and in most places making the video would be considered a violation of the person's privacy--and thus subject to penalty. I don't know how various laws would apply to posting/sharing that content, but I would think that similar violation of privacy issues would attach.

Overall, I do share your desire to have this site be "low risk" so that it can continue for users' benefit.

The main torrent site (and I think the previous forum) would "blind" URL's to other sites, going through an anonymous site (such as anonym.to or url.rw so the destination site wouldn't know that the user came from gt.ru. I notice that the new forum site doesn't do this "blinding."

Maybe that's not important, as the forum is a discussion group..but I thought I'd mention it anyway. Traffic to other sites will increase once all the software problems in the forum get fixed.

@manhandler So this begs the question: "Would you eat pussy in order to survive?"

@lololulu19 said in Blocking videos from BROWSE function:

In the BROWSE the gallery function, there does not seem to be a way to block categories. This is very annoying. For instance, today - someone decided to flood the site with 30 videos of fat, japanese, bears. I know of 2 other sites which are so loaded with asian porn that - which don't show plumbing - that I don't even bother looking at those sites.

I think I know the site that's flooded with the heavier Japanese content. I still have a membership there but I rarely check it as I don't have time to wade through stuff I don't like.

I would love to be able to block any videos that are in the categories of Scat, Mature, BDSM, Trans, Bears, Chubs

We can opt in/out of many categories with the search function, but not with "browse." I don't know how hard it would be to implement that feature--sometimes things that seem simple can be a software nightmare.

I am sure there are some people who would like to block videos in the categories of Twinks, Fit, Attractive, Functional Cock videos

I wouldn't mind blocking "non-functional cock," as I find a bottom with a limp dick unappealing...but that's a topic for another thread.

@eobox91103 https://www.newswars.com/top-doctor-covid-vaccines-killing-babies-in-first-trimester-at-astonishing-rate/

Texas A&M professor of medicine Dr. Peter McCullough warns against vaccinating pregnant women for COVID-19, claiming the vaccines are completely unnecessary for pregnant women and are “directly killing babies in the first trimester.”

One nutcase on a conspiracy website. No more need be said.

@john32123666 said in NEW RULE!! Picture Spamming may lead to Warned Account status!!! Example::

@t4nt03f4z simple: you have 2 option to choice from either report the torrent [link located below / report button] or you should warned and notify the uploader /OP through comment section...[Remember be cautious, you must report only accurate information] feel free to ask helpdesk: https://www.gaytorrent.ru/helpdesk.php

If the spamming/bad image uploading is from the uploader, he might read a comment. If it's from somebody trying to harvest bonus points, he probably won't see a comment, and reporting/help desk is probably the only option. That said, the staff of this site are very busy with lots of things and might not be able to take action. Perhaps there's a software module that could be added to prevent picture spamming, although it would be tricky to write.

But I strongly concur with the sentiments expressed in this thread. I do not like spamalot. (Not to be confused with Spamalot, but I digress.)

@hubrys said in MyPillow Guy, Mike Lindell, is Caca for Cuckoo Puffs:

There is absolutely NO way absent a violent coup that Trump will ever be reinstated into the White House this August. Not even if God himself came down and exposed an infernal contract signed by every Democrat in the country in baptized baby blood, would there be a legal mechanism for removing Joe Biden and replacing him with Donald Trump.

The PillowPrick is a good source of humour...and it will get even more amusing when September arrives, and Trump is still an obese guy who spends his days cheating at golf.

It's always interesting to see the reactions of cultists when some Great Cataclysm in the Future doesn't happen. I remember the doomsday predictions for Y2K, with survivalists moving to the desert. After 1/1/2000 they argued (correctly) that the 21st century wouldn't begin until 1/1/2001. When that day came and went, we heard little from them.

Then there was the predicted end of the world on 21/12/2012, which I think was based on the Mayan calendar. I remember going to breakfast at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant in London on the 22nd, to kickoff my life after death. They had a nice "Doomsday Omelette" on the menu that was quite pleasant.

Recall also that the Q-anon folks were sure that Trump would return to office on this past March 4. They were curiously silent afterwards.

We might not hear much from Lindell after his August data passes. That would be fine with me.

@eobox91103

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2104983

https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/ocqrto/the_new_england_journal_of_medicine_shows_that/

You're mis-reading the statistics.

First, let's dismiss the reddit post--it's on their "conspiracy" page.

Next, let's take a careful read of the NEJM article. The sample set was of 35,691 women. Table 1 shows that 86.5% of these were pregnant at the time of vaccination, and the remaining 15.5% became pregnant shortly after the vaccination. This does NOT mean, as conspiracy theorists want to believe, that the 86.5% somehow lost their pregnancy shortly after vaccination. It means that those 15.5% were women who became pregnant after the study and thus were included in it.

What was the outcome of the vaccinated pregnant women? Let's look at Table 4. The pregnancy and neo-natal outcomes from vaccinated-mother pregnancies were completely in line with incidence rates from the larger population--in fact is some areas, adverse outcomes were a bit lower than the larger population averages, but a much larger study would be needed to establish that.

So, based on real data rather than prejudiced preconception, one can confidently assert what the researchers (and their peer reviewers) stated:

RESULTS
Although not directly comparable, calculated proportions of adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in persons vaccinated against Covid-19 who had a completed pregnancy were similar to incidences reported in studies involving pregnant women that were conducted before the Covid-19 pandemic.

CONCLUSIONS
Preliminary findings did not show obvious safety signals among pregnant persons who received mRNA Covid-19 vaccines.

@manhandler There are gay and lesbian people who are a lot like Skye in the cartoon above. I don't feel much kinship with them.

There are gay and lesbian people who are a lot more like Damian, and I do feel a bond with them (not necessarily attraction).

https://www.nebraskamed.com/COVID/does-vaers-list-deaths-caused-by-covid-19-vaccines

Here's an excerpt of the article for the less literate:

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires health care providers to report any serious adverse event (including death) that happens after a COVID-19 vaccination – whether or not the provider thinks there is any link. The CDC says, "Health care providers are required to report to VAERS the following adverse events after COVID-19 vaccination…regardless if the reporter thinks the vaccine caused the AE." AE stands for adverse event and includes death.

That means that if a vaccinated person drowns, gets in a car crash or is struck by lightning, their death must be reported to VAERS as an adverse event. Since we've vaccinated over 140 million people in the United States, many deaths will occur coincidentally after vaccination.

As of May 10, there have been 4,434 reports of death following a COVID-19 vaccination to VAERS. Doctors at the CDC review each reported death, looking at death certificates, autopsy and medical records. They have no reason to believe that COVID-19 vaccines cause death.

LGBT includes lots of people who are marginalized by society. Society's standard view is:

• If you born with a penis, you grow up to be a man, and you should be attracted only to women.

• If you born with a vagina, you grow up to be a woman, and you should be attracted only to women.

Bisexual people don't fit this narrow stereotype. Transgender people don't fit this narrow stereotype. They DO fit with the many gays and lesbians who also break these stereotypes.

I suggest that you discard your hatred for people who are different from yourself. You might be rather shocked to find out that some of the freedoms you enjoy were achieved by the tireless efforts of LBT people. Even by some straight people, too.

@manhandler The linked video page description says that the New England Journal of Medicine came to these findings.

That's not true, and likely why that video page didn't cite a specific paper.

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.

@eobox91103 Oh, I'm only QUOTING the INVENTOR of the PCR test. What are your credentials again? Did you INVENT anything? "I invented Froot Loop ice cream when I was twelve." This is the INVENTOR of the PCR test, and you are saying that I'm a conspiracy theorist... You're dumb. Ok, bye.

Are you really as stupid as you seem? I'm asking for a REFERENCE. Let me spell that for you, asshole: R-E-F-E-R-E-N-C-E. If you got that material from a reliable source, provide a link to that source. Having something written in this forum without any substantiation is worthless.

You obviously have no respect for fact, probably because your tiny little brain can't hold them. It's absolutely useless trying to discuss anything with you.

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

@eobox91103 His name is Kary Mullis you asshole. He INVENTED the PCR test. Now here is where you stop responding because I destroy you. Kary Mullis said that his invention (the Polymerase Chain Reaction) will show that 100% of humans will test positive for EBOLA, or ANY molecule that exists on Earth. This is WHY the CDC finally admitted that over 90% of the PCR tests showing positive for Covid were FALSE. Because it's run by cycles (magnifications under a microscope by the trillions of magnifications). You simply take a sample of a cell and it shows other molecules (all of them when you magnify it high enough). It does not mean that you "HAVE" Covid, you moron. It simply is an example of the Buddhist philosophy that all is one, and all is contained within all. This is just for starters. The inventor of the PCR test, which is used by Fauci to claim all these people are positive and there is a Pandemic is bullshit. A PCR test will show that you have a molecule of Nickel, does that mean that there is a Nickel poisoning epidemic? No. You clearly don't like to actually listen to the scientists, because you obviously have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. You just don't agree with science because Orange Man Bad.

You simply don't get it.

Unlike you, I'm willing to research things, and even change my mind, if I have reason to do so. Your assertions in this forum with no reference or cited sources. I'm not going to believe the rantings of a crazed lunatic.

I am not an asshole. You are. And you prove it almost every day. You should be ashamed of yourself.

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

@eobox91103 A name IS a source. All you have to do is look up the inventor of the PCR test, to start. But you're too lazy or too lame to be capable of that apparently.

. "Donald Trump says all cows are purple."
. "George Bush says pickle ice cream is poisonous."

You will, of course, believe these, because with names in those two statements, you have sources.

See how silly your argument is? Now here's a challenge: Try responding intelligently.
