Truly, I'm not in the habit of assigning generalities (good or bad) to cultures, but, having said that, I have experienced some very unsophisticated and antiquated remarks from particular regions on these boards.

And at the same time, just as many ignorant and hateful remarks from posters on this site, who live in the developed world.  Perhaps the people from faraway lands, with English as their second language, deserve a bit more leeway.

But to JA's point, yes, it still sounds like the Original Poster (OP) is looking down at the concept of bisexuality, but he may have very few resources from which to develop an opinion.

Actually, interesting and cogent ideas from all – lee, raph, tt, -- god, what fucking magnificent armchair sociologists we are!

Yes, you can reflect on the untimely passing of the handsome and talented Luke Perry the next time you order a mushroom omelette at brunch…

...and you can Google a few of those key words if you're feeling particularly adventurous.

Could be living in a cultural backwater, could need those 5 topic points for his low ratio, so tiresome…

I came across the same brilliant thinking here:

Um, just a note that this "welcome" thread began in 2013, but all the same:

…to all of you Aussies: how sorry we are about your fire situation, we are pulling for you that it improves soon.  To the rest of us, if you have the resources, consider giving to the many organizations helping Australia's people and wildlife!

If you're still around, Stretch, well… oh... show us your dick, and hope it's been a fun seven years, lol...!

I'm sure this has been answered before, but could someone do me a favor re:

A Freeleech appeared today that made me very happy.  I would like to send Seedpoints to the person responsible for bringing back this film – the higher res (Girls Will Be Girls) – via Freeleech.

So, if one adds Seedpoints to a Freeleech re-upload…

do points go to the current Freeleech provider?

do points go to the original Uploader, if they are still a GT member?

or do the Seedpoints simply get deducted but disappear, as the system doesn't accommodate this action?

A link to any section in Rules that pertains is also welcome.  Thanks in advance.

What's yours?

My opinion (of your post, at least), is that you don't put much time or effort into researching subjects – you know, becoming more educated -- before you ask questions.

Because if you had done even the slightest bit of study into the issue you raise, you wouldn't be asking for "opinions" about the existence of a sexual orientation that has been documented over thousands of years.

And, even more ironic that you come from Greece -- oh, really, what's the use?     :crazy2:

Actually, I wish that society as a whole would move away from this notion that virginity is something that is "lost."  As long as it's consensual, rather than losing, you are sharing your sexual self for the first time with a partner.

The concept of losing virginity (usually negative for a girl, usually positive for a boy) is an entrenched linguistic and cultural concept in so many parts of the globe, with organized religion playing a key role.

So, I didn't lose my virginity at all – I know exactly where I put it...    :afr:   :cheesy2:   :afr:

More good wishes and thanks to GT for this unexpected Freeleech.

Sorry to hear, magnums, that your DL speed has been throttled.  Like you, I had Comcast once in Florida, and while their best speed is still 5x slower than my service from RCN in NYC, I never felt Comcast was putting a damper on my speed during specific high-use periods.

Even with the superior RCN, and using GTRU with a Surface Pro tablet of limited memory, it seems like every 10 DLs or so, my DL speed decreases unless I turn the computer off, wait, and restart it.  This has helped "clear the pipes" and raised my speed many times.

Perhaps also check if your computer/drive is over 90 percent full.  I just find that tends to slow things down, no actual proof of that, only an intuition.

Hope you get the most out of this lovely Freeleech, and thanks again to GTRU…!

And a Happy Festivus – for the Rest of Us!

And a Happy New Year to All, including the religious and non-religious.

This – as it stands -- is a nice victory over those "protect traditional families" groups that try to erase us from TV shows, ads, etc.:

Without a doubt, one that involves an audience of onlookers and a Dirty Sanchez.    :crazy2:

Yes, to support a point made by eobox, the ultimate ratio helper is to be fortunate enough to find a Freeleech torrent, and then be one of the first to complete downloading it, and leave it seeding at minimum for a few days.

So, refresh the Browse tab often when you're having fun on the site, and look for that yellow ribbon…    :hug:

Welcome, welcome, FWP, you'll have to show us your sleek tail one day…    :cheers:

Has anyone noticed that this increasingly bothersome member's data are as follows:

Ratio: 0.066
Uploaded: 221.08 MB
Downloaded: 3.27 GB

This person has been shown too much patience already, imho.  I believe he is well aware that you don't go around a torrent site posting the same request 16 times on unrelated boards and threads.  He's been warned by raphjd and still continues – although his downloading rights have been disabled!

Oh, that someone in authority would give him a Mute -- that's the only lesson he would understand.

While I don't have a specific brand to recommend, there's a lot of good info in this catch-all article about methods of controlling / removing nose hair:

https://www.healthline.com/health/nose-hair-removal

I think the most important message – in this era of people going bare as a baby everywhere -- is that the interior nose hairs serve an important health purpose, basically as a particle filter.

Efforts at control should focus mainly on the tips of nose hairs that protrude, and those near the entrance of the nose -- not deeper inside.

I wondered if the "possibly not as homophobic now" Chik-fil-A had a presence outside of the U.S., and behold – they are in Canada, and just opened their first restaurant in the UK last month:

https://www.businessinsider.com/chick-fil-a-international-opening-first-location-in-the-uk-2019-10

And if you want to absorb this story as covered in queer media, here's one from the UK, among many others:

https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2019/11/18/chick-fil-a-ended-donations-anti-lgbt-charities-marriage-family-foundation-dan-cathy/

Still leading back to the questions:

Do you think Chik-fil-A is being sincere? and

Would any of this make a difference if you were hungry for a fast-food chicken sandwich?

So, this is interesting news:

https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/18/business/chick-fil-a-lgbtq-donations/index.html

With this change, would you be willing to try Chik-fil-A?  Or, are you already a customer because you keep your lunch and your politics separate?

From my perspective, it's a positive step, although I think it arose purely for financial reasons, and still not enough to get my business.

Your thoughts?!?

Rainbows or Unicorns?

Hi charlieau,

At the time of the writing, your stats include:

Avg ULSpeed: Ø401.09 kB

To my understanding, that's like a freight train of processing power!  I would think you could pull massive "good ratio" from getting in early on just a handful of Freeleech torrents, and repeat that whenever you need.

Let your uploads and Freeleeches seed for several days or longer, and with your computer's speed, you actually have a very easy path to a ratio far above 1.0 – good luck!
