Ultimately, five boats did sink during the event.

They didn't sink; they were re-christened as submarines.

@ManHandler:

I was just talking to my neighbor. He got a ballot by mail for his dead cat. He's sending it in for Trump! HAHA!

That's quite fitting.  The deceased feline probably has more intelligence than the average Trump voter.

@ManHandler:

Oh God you're so ridiculous. Survivors of Authoritarianism?

The quotation from the original poster was taken from an author who grew up in Pakistan.  He has credibility as a "survivor of authoritarianism."

Many people in the US don't know what authoritarianism is like.  They need to put down Faux News and read about–or even visit--Russia, North Korea, Belarus, etc., etc.

It would also help if they got back on their meds.

More information on voting processes in the US can be found at the non-partisan Electronic Registration Information Center, https://ericstates.org/.  Their goal is to help states keep their voting systems current and accurate.

One finding from their studies is,

Officials identified just 372 possible cases of double voting or voting on behalf of deceased people out of about 14.6 million votes cast by mail in the 2016 and 2018 general elections, or 0.0025 percent.

If bad actors are using mail-in voting to "rig" elections, they're not doing a very good job.

Just do a search on the word "free," and you'll get a bunch of them.

@raphjd:

WAIT, are you complaining becase ManHhandler suggested that conservatives stand up to the liberal rioting, looting, terrorism, murder etc, etc?

This is the phrase that is offensive:

Well, we're going to start coming after you because this shit has crossed the line, so get ready. We are all armed to the teeth and we're just done with you playing violent games with  our country that's getting people killed, the time for self defense is rapidly approaching. So get ready, because you aint seen nothing yet. I would be terrified if I were you

You can't possibly tell me that this sort of thing is appropriate for a moderated message board.

Democratic Underground is moderated and far worse is posted on there.

It's your fellow liiberals that are actively engaging in violence including murder.  But NO you are only care abouut a conservative getting angry and callng for self defense.

FaceBook, Twiitter, etc etc are moderated and they allow liberals to post videos of them celebrating the cold blooded murder of a "Trump supporter" and a mom holding her toddler who dared say "all liives matter".

I have yet to see any liberals condemn the BLM (and Antifa before that) violence but you all get extremely butt hurt when a conservative calls for us to start defending ourselves.

You are totally missing the point.

I am not complaining because a juvenile poster "suggested that conservatives stand up."  I am complaining because that same user said that "we're going to start coming after you…we are armed to the teeth...I would be terrified if I were you."

If you don't see the difference between what's in blue (your statement) and what's in red (the other person's statement), I can't help you.  I can only suggest that you resign as a moderator and seek therapy.

@leeniedo:

Super Easy. Under your screen name click on "Details and Stats" Then "Friends list" Click on "Find User/Browse User List" and add the name.

Thank you.  It doesn't seem to work very well for me:  While I have that user blocked for PM purposes (see first image below), after clicking on the "Find User/Browse User List" link, I seem to lack the permission to de-crap what I see.

I do appreciate your advice.

@Obsidianitis:

Since I ignore every post or comment ManHandler makes, I hadn't read what he said in his tirade.

My dumb question of the day:  How does one "ignore" a user?  My IT support says that my computer runs much better if I don't put sh*t in it.

@cinemacapman:

What I think should be a requirement for not only Themed Movies and TV Episodes (possibly for some other areas also?) is the Uploader should explain in the Description WHY something qualifies as having gay content or gay themes. Often they will also simply post a torrent with NO Description at all…which tells downloaders absolutely nothing useful.

I usually try to do that in whatever I upload unless it's blatantly obvious (such as either something in the Description, or screenshots of two men kissing or in bed, etc.). I usually post something like "The gay interest?", followed by the reason why...even if it's only one character or one scene in the movie or tv episode, or a particular interesting or strong homoerotic content.

This would also help avoid people having to ASK "What is the gay interest or relevancy here?" (which I often have to do in the Comments of a torrent if the Uploader has not explained why something qualifies for being here).

If users followed this guidance, it would go a long way to resolving the question "Is this gay-themed or not?"  At the very least, it would give the moderators a head-start in making their decision.  It's also potentially ambiguous:  Someone who's very good at making yoghurt could be considered "culturally competent. 

If this were made a rule, it could help to define what's meant by "gay-themed" as opposed to simply "gay-interest."  That's not an easy distinction…but, for example, I think Julia Child's old cooking shows are probably of interest to many gays, but I'm not sure I'd call them "gay-themed."  Do they belong on this site?  I'll let others debate that.

As an aside, perhaps we can use some terminology other than "culturally competent."  That term suggests that someone who doesn't meet that description is either uncultured or incompetent (or both), and that's a bit unkind.

“It’s hard to win an argument with a smart person, but it’s damn near impossible to win an argument with a stupid person.”  ― Bill Murray

Very well said.  I'll add one to the list:

@ManHandler:

No. Your side is actually totalitarian. It's an obvious and overwhelming reality. You guys have become fascists and book burners (the very thing you claimed the patriarchy was guilty of). It's a fact that only you deny. Keep denying all you want. Your team is literally out on the streets burning down buildings, violently injuring innocent people, looting and blaming Trump for all of it. "Trump made me steal dem shoes!" Puh lease. You've had the mob go after television show hosts to try to get them to shut up. You've had the big tech companies and even banks go after people who you wanted to shut up. You are fascist totalitarians and criminals now and you're trying to start a war over "racism" while the big banks and big mega corporations enslave us all - that's who the conservatives have been fighting. So honestly, you guys are not worth the time to even respond to, because everyone sees what's happening and you pretend its just our imagination.

There are no conservatives rioting, looting, burning, punching, shooting, stabbing, and the list goes on. Democrats are trashy people with very low IQ. And you guys pattin' each other on the back to say "I guess he's illiterate." Well, we're going to start coming after you because this shit has crossed the line, so get ready. We are all armed to the teeth and we're just done with you playing violent games with  our country that's getting people killed, the time for self defense is rapidly approaching. So get ready, because you aint seen nothing yet. I would be terrified if I were you by the way. You have no idea what you're up against. Veterans think differently - and they see your violence, and they are primed to defend. We're all getting sick of this infantile behavior from the left and unfortunately, more of yours WILL be getting what's inevitable. Just sayin, it's cause and effect and you're asking for it. So good luck with riding over the cliff and being insane. We don't want you. Not in the same room with us, we see you with your Biden bumper sticker and when your car is broke down we make sure to throw bottles of piss on you as we drive by. ETC. What goes around comes around. The Democratic Party is STUPID.

Valuable posts discuss issues, not personalities.  Hate-filled tirades are best wrapped in toilet paper and flushed.

I tried to report this post to the moderator because of its advocacy of violence, but the system seems to have given your posts immunity to being reported.

This reminds me of the infamous billboard saying, "Illiterate?  Write for help."  Not unlike my internet provider telling me that if my connection goes down, I can get help on their website.  But I digress off-topic.

@bearbearbear:

President Donald Trump in a recent speech at Mount Rushmore described “cancel culture” as “the very definition of totalitarianism,”

Without taking a position on the political or social issues involved here, one must note that very often when people say " <thing that="" i="" don't="" like="">is the definition of <a broader="" concept="" that="" i="" <em="">really don't like,> they aren't using vocabulary properly.  They usually mean that something is the epitome/a paradigm/a really good instantiation/ of the broader concept that they don't like.

For example, a Ferrari is not the definition of a sports car, although most would agree that it's a pretty good example of one  The definition of a sports car, per the Cambridge English Dictionary, is "a fast, low car, often for two people only."  And while there are other ways to formulate this definition, perhaps referencing cornering ability and braking, "Ferrari" is not a definition.  If someone were to say that that a new Ferrari is "the definition of a sports car," they are simply wrong.  This is not a matter of opinion about the relative merits of Ferraris vs. Porsches…it's just a fact of the English language.

This is worth noting, because if public figures wish to advance an argument, it's important that they use correct grammar and vocabulary.  If they fail at this, their assertions can become meaningless...which is most likely not their intent.  It can also suggest that they are intellectually deficient.</a></thing>

@ManHandler:

Let's just end it there. You put nothing into context whatsoever, and you don't put anything into your own words. You just copy and paste, and it's just nonsense. That's why everyone is leaving the Democratic Plantation and Democratic States like NY and CA en mass. It's literally happening en mass and you pretend it isn't.

Let's not leave it quite yet:  Since this thread started on a topic of "false or misleading" statements, one should note that people are not "leaving California en mass [sic]."  A quick look at https://worldpopulationreview.com/states/california-population (as well as other sites, including census.gov) shows that the population of California continues to increase.  If people are leaving en masse, even more are arriving.

This reminds me of a restaurant review some years back that said "that place is so crowded, nobody goes there any more."

Speaking just for myself, I don't have a preference between one large collection, and a few smaller collections.  Users can select which files to download either way.

One thing I would suggest is that you show what the individual files contain:  A quick way of doing that is to post a screenshot of a file directory, showing thumbnails from each file (see attachment below).

Thank you for sharing your material.

I don't think there's anything "wrong" with an ethnicity filter, but I find it rather useless:

Ethnicity isn't always one pick out of a multiple-choice list:  While some people might have all of their genetic heritage from a specific "tribe," more and more people are a mix.  I have a good friend who is half Thai and half German…so what box would he tick?  I lived in Cuba for a while, where most people are a varying blend of native American, African, and western European.  No single ethnicity category would work for most of them.

Some guys do have ethnic preferences, even for a quick bang.  But an ethnicity category filter isn't going to be reliable for them.  If a guy has strong preferences, some good photos should do the trick (so to speak).

@bearbearbear:

the idiocy of the Trump campaign in not claiming the website for a slogan printed on all of those red caps coming out of China.

Maybe they actually bought the domain, but stiffed the hosting company when it came time to pay for it.  That would align with the Trump business model.

@bearbearbear:

Why is she such a big deal in their warped, obsessive minds?  Is it just because she's a woman?

No, it's because she runs a cannibalistic pedophile ring from the basement of a Washington pizzeria.  Some try to discredit this alternative fact by noting that the pizzeria in question does not have a basement…but that only shows the power of the Deep State to do things beyond our concept of the possible.  Hillary and her gang can do this because of their space-alien DNA.

With over 20,000 false or misleading statements by Trump since his inauguration, it's possible that fact-checkers might have done some of them wrong.  It's equally possible that they have missed some.
