I wish someone would explain to me the purpose of upscaling.
@lololulu19 said in Upscaling - WHY?:
@jrewingwanna Actually, I usually am EXPLAINING something. Not asking. When I do ask, it is virtually always something that is wrong that NEEDS to be looked into
Make yer mind up 
@flozen Actually, why in the name of all fuckery was this pulled out of the cesspool of the P&D forum and dumped in here anyway?
@lololulu19 said in Who is this cock sucking great great great granddaddy?:
@hubrys I forgot, it is only permissible to attack Trump. It is forbidden to attack Senile Joe Biden. Silly me!
Better shut the P&D forum down then, because 99% of the posts in there are Trump-centric attacks on the other side. Don't worry about it though, because a shit meme just means some idiot spent time making it in the belief that it would change the world. The pro-Trump bias in this forum is overwhelming. You only have to look at the stickied threads P&D forum to see that the pro-Trump bias in this forum is overwhelming. If the meme was intended to tickle someone's taint then that's the place to look.
Another TDS sufferer is former minor actor George "Sulu" Takei. When not attacking Trump, George is chastising the USA for treating Japanese Americans like criminals during WW2. While that is true, George should not be the one talking about this, because George did an episode of "The Twilight Zone" titled "The Encounter" in which he portrays a Japanese man in the USA pretending to be a loyal US citizen, when in fact he is actually killing people in the USA to get revenge for their loss in WW2. George fucked his OWN people and then blames US for it!
OMG! How can he sleep at night?????
Are you genuinely saying that because an ACTOR played a bad character in a TV show once they can't campaign against what that character represented? So David Bamber (Hitler in Valkyrie) can't protest Nazism. Anthony Hopkins must love serial killers because he played Hannibal Lecter. After playing Idi Amin Forest Whitaker obviously adores fascism. Robert Downey Jr played Chaplin, who groomed a girl 12 until she was 16 before sleeping with her, so I guess the Iron Man actor is into kids. Starting to see where this is going yet?
So yeah, well done with all of this.
@hubrys It allows anything that aligns with the ideals of those who control it.
@unclepain All request were banned quite a while ago now. Check the rules page for confirmation.
@vasco25-0 said in Have two torrent services working at the same time?:
although most of them are not seeding, I guess it is because there is no activity on that torrent?
More than likely, yes.
@vasco25-0 It's very simple. Take your existing .torrent files and open them in the working client. As long as you've set it up to use the same folders as the non-working one it should perform a re-check on the new torrents to determine what you've already downloaded and just continue them.
@vasco25-0 Switch them all over to the working one?
@hikariluan-0 I meant to add that if you bother to look, they've cleaned up the whole comment section on that upload, so I really don't know what your complaint is.
@hikariluan-0 I saw that comment, and it was totally out of line. If you've got a problem with another comment then I suggest you report it to the mods rather than fire thinly-veiled accusations at other members. In fact, that exactly what I did, asking the mods to have a look at the thread and step in if they felt it necessary. Apparently they decided it was necessary,
Have a look at this page and see what it says in the section titled "Personal Daily Download Limit"
Under "Your Current Values" it will tell you how many torrents you can download per day. For example, mine says:
"You downloaded 7 torrent(s) in the past 24 hours
You are allowed to download 118 torrent file(s) per day. This is based on your share ratio of 0.967 and 1 uploaded own torrent(s)."
This may or may not provide the answer, but it's a good place to start.
@lololulu19 First paragraph, fine.
Second one, I'm going to disagree a bit. For starters, you seem to have misunderstood/mislabelled the groups you are talking about.
"INTERSEX - An adjective used to describe a person with one or more innate sex characteristics, including genitals, internal reproductive organs, and chromosomes, that fall outside of traditional conceptions of male or female bodies. Do not confuse having an intersex trait with being transgender. Intersex people are assigned a sex at birth — either male or female — and that decision by medical providers and parents may not match the gender identity of the child. Not all intersex folks identify as being part of the LGBTQIA+ community.
TRANSGENDER - An umbrella term for people whose gender identity and/or gender expression differs from what is typically associated with the sex they were assigned at birth. People under the transgender umbrella may describe themselves using one or more of a wide variety of terms— including transgender or nonbinary. Some transgender people are prescribed hormones by their doctors to bring their bodies into alignment with their gender identity. Some undergo surgery as well. But not all transgender people can or will take those steps, and a transgender identity is not dependent upon physical appearance or medical procedures."
I think transgender transvestites are simply dressing in a way that makes them feel comfortable in themselves. Some may wish to actually transition, but have reasons holding them back. I'm sure there are many who see transvestism as a kind of fetish too, but you don't seem to suggest you have any issues with people who like wearing leather, rubber or other such things.
Third paragraph, I'd refer you back to my take on paragraph 2, though I'd like to expand on one thing. The tone of your post seems to suggest that you are talking specifically about men trying to appear to be women. What is your take on women who dress like men? I mean, trousers have historically been a male garment, but women wear jeans all the time. What about women who wear boots rather than heels? Women with boyish haircuts? Women who wear chest-binders? I think you can see where I'm going with this.
Now then, the fourth paragraph...
@lololulu19 said in Gay Lesbian Bi vs. Trans:
What I resent is having transvestites lumped in with homosexuals. That is insulting. What's next? lumping pedophiles, necrophiliacs, and people who practice bestiality in with homosexuals?
Sorry, but any way you look at it that's bigotry. "Resent?" "Lumped in?" So a gay man who cross-dresses is a lesser part of our community than another gay man who doesn't? The fight for acceptance has been going on for decades. Gay Pride became simply Pride, and has encompassed gays, lesbians, transgender, bisexuals.... but you want to tell transvestites that you resent them being a part of our community and you're insulted by a perceived affiliation with them? Acceptance needs to go both ways, or would you prefer that we wind back the clock just a little bit so it's just us gays and the rest can go and fend for themselves?
As for the reference to paedophiles and the rest, I think you'll find that they are all criminal pretty much everywhere. Transvestites, at least in most forward-thinking countries, are not.
You asked for opinions on this and that's mine. You are of course free to have your own, but I'm going to say that while I personally find many of your posts floating somewhere between amusing and cringe-worthy this one has left me utterly fucking livid, and I'm holding back on what I'd happily say to someone's face if they were stood in front of me with that attitude. I think you need to go and reflect on who's lumping people into groups.
I could say a lot more, but don't have the time right now.
@rashoo I think we might need just a little bit more information....
@jokuihmemies If you use the "Search (old)" page rather than the newer version (which I personally never use) you can select or deselect any categories you like.
@medicc Sadly the loss of their defining identity is not limited to EV. Southern Strokes used to be very similar to BareTwinks with a very American feel to it, but now it's obviously all shot in Eastern Europe and exhibiting the same sets and feel as BoyFun. BareTwinks itself has done the same. Young Bastards has gone almost exclusively South American now.
I don't know if it's a pandemic-related shift in the industry, a financial decision, demand driven or just coincidence, but many of the major studios have made a very noticeable change to what they're producing, with much of it becoming formulaic copy/paste scenes. As you say, they're all just churning out new things every few days with little thought to staying "on-brand."
@kirbyshiny Probably not what you're after, but have you seen Vicious? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2582590/
