I've watched through the first four episodes. It was a slog, tbh, and there's not much to like currently about the show. At least the martial arts part of the plot picks up in the 4th episode. Before that, there's just a lot of slow pacing and Danny acting like a credulous fool that hasn't learning to keep his mouth shut sometimes. Colleen Wing is my favorite character so far, just because she's more convincing as a martial arts badass than Danny.

RE: The New Healthcare Bill
So are we going to be playing ping-pong in 4 or 8 years to get rid of whatever trash program the GOP pushes through? It's almost worth it for the schaudenfreude of watching the racist hicks who opposed ObamaCare just because it was proposed by Obama realize how screwed they are… almost.

RE: EPA chief Scott Pruitt says CO2 is not a primary contributor to global warming
Trump literally mean "drain the swamp". As in "drain the wetlands" and "destroy the environment". So, to all the nay-sayers saying he's not been keeping his promises because of the billionaires and special interests represented in his cabinet picks … the joke's on you.

RE: How do you drink your coffee?
Straight coffee smells delicious, but makes me nauseous, so I'd always have lattes. Now I'm avoiding dairy, so I switched to tea.

RE: Rihanna or Beyonce?
Rihanna, for multiple reasons:
- her music is more catchy to me
- she's more uninhibited and doesn't give a fuck; Beyonce's more careful about managing her image
- the cult of celebrity around Beyonce is annoying af
- Beyonce's speaking voice grates on me, I find Rihanna's soothing
- Rihanna and I are from the same country, so I'm super proud of her; Beyonce broke up Destiny's Child, so I'm still a bit pissed at her

RE: Elizabeth Warren on Fire: Endorses Clinton, Destroys Trump, Considers VP Slot
I'm super busy this week, so I haven't had time to delve into why Warren is so strongly endorsing Hilary … with that caveat, I'm disappointed in her. Her endorsement means nothing to me. I'm still going to vote third-party; I hope Bernie takes up Jill Stein on the offer to run under the Green Party ticket. Even if he can't win, I hope he amasses enough votes to express the dissatisfaction any true progressive feels with this Hobson's choice of a Democratic candidate.
Frankly, I view Warren's refusal to come out and endorse Bernie during the primary as a betrayal of her principles in favor of the same purely political considerations that motivate all of Hilary's actions. Even on the one issue Warren is most passionate about (Wall Street corruption and economic inequality : same as Bernie, so again, why not endorse him?), it's clear that Hilary is just tacking with the political winds. At best, it feels like Warren is being pragmatic, endorsing Hilary because she's going to be the Democratic nominee, and Warren feels she can lend her weight with the progressives to help Hilary in the (what Warren thinks is) all-important fight to prevent Trump from becoming President.

RE: Foods you can't stand
Avocado: the fattiness and thick mouth feel is too much for me, and the blandness is too little.

RE: Senate Confirms First Openly Gay Leader of a U.S. Military Service
Indeed. It's nice to see that the guy blocking his nomination finally stopped. I hope he makes us look good ;D

RE: Is it moral for a gay to marry with a woman under social pressure?
It depends on where you are (situational ethics: shocking!). In most western countries, I'd say definitely not: there may be exceptions like Jamaica and Russia. But if you're in a place where you need a wife as a shield against life-threatening allegations, then I think it becomes moral to lie (assuming the woman has to be deceived) in order to protect your life.

RE: I'm confused
He's commented you're not an active person, that it'll be problematic to build a life with someone who doesn't have a job, and that he's only willing to think of you as a friend for now, until you meet in person… I don't see anything necessarily to hate in these statements, or anything that's an obvious sign of him being a self-centered asshole. Of course delivery matters, but the underlying points are sound:
- if you're introverted and he's extroverted, that could be an issue in having a romantic relationship
- if he's moving to the US and won't have a job, and you don't have one also, that will be a big issue in having a relationship
- if he's a refugee moving to the US to make a better life for himself, he's coming with a different mindset from you (as one example: you say you can't find a job that suits you, he's probably willing to accept jobs you'd find unsuitable, just to get a start in), and he's focused on improving his situation, not jumping immediately into a romantic commitment with someone he's never met in person.
My advice is to lower your expectations (talking to someone online for two months doesn't get you to the point of declaring love) and just see what he's like if/when he gets to your part of the US. Maybe you won't even be into him! Also, go with your own feelings on this: maybe it is the case that the way in which he said these reasonable things makes it clear that's he's a manipulative asshole; if that's the case, there's no point in pursuing the relationship.
BTW, I didn't understand this part AT ALL: "When I asked if he never loves me, he just said he only likes me but he asked that did you say love me too? I'm really confused, because he never said that too. I don't get it that he wants me more open to him or he is just selfcentered asshole."
Can you rewrite it so it's easier to parse? It seems like an important part... -
RE: Do you prefer top or bottom?
I've only done oral stuff to this point. Now I'm ready to get into the ass game :cheesy2:
I'd be willing to try bottoming out, but I've tried dildos and didn't see the fascination at all: maybe I'm doing something wrong, or a real dick feels fantastically different? Douching is also tedious and painful. OTOH, I'm certain that I would enjoy topping.

RE: Should i come out to my office colleagues ?
I think it's great that you're considering coming out to help present a human face on sexual minorities! This is a big decision; you could get higher quality advice if you gave us more information on your situation (especially since it's hard for those of us not in India to imagine accurately what life is like there for gays): what field do you work in, how secure is your position, where in India are you, what are your colleagues' mind sets regarding social issues, how close are you to your colleagues, are you already out to your family and friends, do you have a support group, what is your fallout plan if things go sour at your workplace or you get fired?
My shallow advice would be to gauge the mood of your office carefully–-will coming our make your situation miserable and subject you to bigotry indefinitely, or do you think even if your coworkers' minds are not immediately changed, they will retain a professional respectfulness toward you?---, come out to everyone else in your life first, verify that you're in a safe enough region that you are not likely to be attacked if it becomes commonly known outside of your workplace that you're gay, and be prepared in the worst case to switch jobs or fields and maybe relocate. If you can't get a handle on all of these issues first, don't come out. Safety first!

B/w interracial hook-up site recommendations?
Is there a dedicated hook-up site for white guys seeking black cock, and black guys seeking white ass? I'm in the latter group, and I'm looking for someone to play with… figured it'd be easier to match kinks on a dedicated site. I came across whitemenforblackmen.com, but that requires a subscription and there's no way to know what you're getting before paying.

RE: Piercing
I find most piercings unattractive (including earrings). I can't help anticipating them getting caught on something and being ripped off. Penile piercings are the most cringe-inducing type to me; I wince when I see them.

RE: What do you like about chinese guys?
I had a Chinese roommate in school for several years, and still get hot thinking about him. He was the start of my attraction to Asian dudes.
He was a Chinese-American guy from a pretty accomplished family, but from the way he dressed (sandals with socks, grandpa glasses, wrinkly clothes) you'd think he was FOB from a working class family. He seemed straight, but I never saw him on any dates nor heard him talking about any girls. I never got any indication he had any kind of sex life, or even masturbated.
He was meh in the face, but had a very nice ass once he got out of his ubiquitous baggy unpressed khakis. It was hot where we were, and we didn't want to pay for AC, so at home he'd strip down to his baggy white briefs, semitranslucent with age, showing off the curves of his ass cheeks and the creamy complexion of his legs. Needless to say, I was hard all the time around him because I was always thinking about how tight his ass would feel around my raw cock. Something about his skin made me think he'd have a super tight pinkish-white hole.
One time my cock slipped out of boxers during a conversation, and I didn't realize it until I saw where his gaze was. Of course, that immediately gave me a boner, and I decided to leave it out as it grew. After that I started to have a lot of 'slippage' accidentally on-purpose; at first he'd say something once in a while, but I just kept it up. Eventually I started full-on shirt-cocking; at first, he'd tell me to put some pants on, but he never made a big deal out of it so I kept pushing it. Keep in mind this whole time that seeing and thinking about his ass had me hard as rock and dripping precum like crazy.
Whatever his sexuality, I got signs he was fascinated with my cock: the first time I shirt-cocked, I kicked up a conversation with him and he followed me when I went into my bedroom to lie down. We had a really long conversation that I could tell we were both working to keep going, and he was looking intensely at my rock hard cock. I don't know what his fascination was due to –- was it that I'm black, or uncut, or obviously turned on, or longer and thicker than him (judging by some of his morning wood that I saw over the years), or maybe mine was the first erect cock he saw other than his--- but watching him gobble up my cock with his eyes kept me rock hard, dribbling into my stomach, and kept my cock jerking wth arousal. I guess he got his fill, because unfortunately after that I never really caught him staring at my cock even though I'd spend hours sitting on a chair in a central location to make sure that he had to see my hard cock whenever he came out of his room.
My experience with this dude was one of a kind, and I still fantasize about pinning him down and pounding his man pussy. Since then, I've been really into regular looking Asian dudes.

RE: The New Picture Browser - Feedback
Thanks for making this interface! As it is, it's not terribly useful to me, but I spent a couple of minutes playing around and think it has a lot of potential. Maximizing the usefulness of new UIs requires matching them to the way your users actually operate, so I'll share my MO here:
My usual MO on the regular search page is to use the combination of title, short description, and category –- all taken in in a few seconds while scrolling --- to identify torrents that are potentially promising, then scroll over the thumbnails to see the expanded images. If the torrent still looks promising at this point I open it up in the background for later perusal, as I continue to check out all the torrents new to the site. So the pic information is actually secondary, and I really expect to be able to see the torrents in chronological order so that I can catch up on the new torrents since I last visited.
As is, the PictureBrowser is not a better option than regular search for me because:
- it doesn't make it visually clear which pictures correspond to which torrent: I have to manually mouse over each image to separate them out --- you actually already provide most of the meta-information I want (except the size) in the mouse over, so all that's needed here is to visually separate the various torrents, e.g. by using a thick frame to outline the pics corresponding to one torrent. whitespace is the best tool!
- it doesn't seem to show all the latest content even when the "sort by latest torrent first" button is turned on; I see a lot of stuff from years ago very high up in the list.
- it's not clear how torrents are chosen to displayed : this is more of a psychological issue. If you used something definite and intuitive like peak number of seeders or amount of seedpoints, chosen to be reflective of the `desirability' of the torrent, and made this clear, I'd feel much less discomforted about allowing the PictureBrowser to guide me.
I imagine all three of these points are easily remedied.

RE: Voyeurism: A Debate…
To get to the actual topic. As this is the forum to a gay torrent site we naturally talked about male on male voyerism here, what do you guys think of men who spy on women? Do the same rules apply there? Is it sort of OKish if noone can be recognized or it is just used for personal joy or is it a despicable act?
That's a powerful question. For some reason, I find men spying on women to be more offensive, although there probably isn't a moral difference. Maybe it's because I feel like–- implicit in the separation of lockers and such on the basis of gender--- men already have a lower expectation of privacy around other men, whereas women have a heightened one around men? Or maybe it's social conditioning to be sensitive to the group not holding the power (so to speak), in the same way that I find it more offensive to call a black person a n* than to call a white person a cracker. Or (and most likely)... maybe it's just too alien to me, since I'm not straight, and don't even peripherally feel the attraction. It's always easier to pass judgment on temptations that you're not subject to yourself.
Now that you've raised the question, I'm wondering what the average straight guy would say in answer. I suspect he'd find male on male spying more prurient than male on female spying.
