So @lololulu19 & @raphjd BOTH admit to not having watched The Simpson's in years... yet, here they are talking about the show because of some minor casting decisions. (Notice: NO MAJOR characters have been affected, only "bit parts"... yet.... here we are!)

The marketing department is serving cake and ice-cream in the break room

While you think this is them "caving" to pop-culture (and the Marketing Department thanks you for that), the clear result is that, by changing less than 1% of their content, they have made headlines and been the topic of countless discussions such as these!

Marketing Victory!

@massafera said in Why is everything new being deleted from the "Fan Sites" category?:

@bi4smooth maybe then don't owe an answer to one single user, but this is a problem that is affecting thousands of users who use that category everyday to upload and download. So yes, they should address this as soon as possible. I already asked on helpdesk under the DMCA category and I got no answer so far. So I tried the forum and still nothing has been said. I am patiently waiting but this is not a small issue and users do need an honest answer regardless of how much we pay. As I said, it's affecting thousands of users.

So - let me get this straight: You're complaining that people who ILLEGALLY (in most countries, at least) share their porn - can not do so in the VOLUME that satisfies YOU?

Dude - when you read the stories about the "dark web" where people share things (like stolen data, credit card numbers, and porn) that they shouldn't... you're on it!

99% of the porn you're downloading here is porn that is NOT supposed to be shared. Yet, here we are - doing it anyway!

There was a period in time, not so long ago, when Sean Cody and Corbin Fisher were both aggressively SUING downloaders and seeders alike for illegally sharing their material. That has abated (too expensive for too little reward), but the truth is: we're still stealing their porn when we share it here!

I'm sorry if that hurts your feelings, but your complaint is akin to the guy who steals 10,000 credit card numbers and then complains that his ex-wife's isn't on the list (or that his own *IS on the list! LOL).

If the owners/moderators of the site WANT to share information with you about why, then so be it - but you are ENTITLED to nothing! Zip! Zilch! "King of all Ghostings!" - including a 100% refund of your site-joining fees!

Fine! If you want to LAMENT the loss of those videos - I lament the loss of 1000s of Sean Cody videos on their site, and now especially hard to find elsewhere... but that doesn't mean I'm OWED those videos - even if I'm a PAID member there! And you are OWED nothing here, either.

I will end with this observation: your attitude isn't likely to get any kind of a POSITIVE response from any Staff member that I've ever chatted with! And I've been on here since 2008!

@di3di3di3 said in Goodbye, SlamRush:

i digress. what is issue with these providers /censors?? they deemed themselves worthy to choose what is allowed and what isn't?? is bb sex without testing/prep any safer than what this site had?? why are such bb sites allowed to run and have been allowed to run?? majoral stupidity.

adults can choose what to do with their bodies and as a non drug user myself, i believe in free will and choice.

ps : in countries where public health systems are in place to offer free healthcare, i think it gets more complicated, but the site was run in USA so it doesnt affect any taxpayer if a adult chooses to ''get high'' and ''fuck''

Someone who is high is incapable (at least in US case law) of giving consent.

As @flozen clearly & correctly pointed out, while we mostly know that in the real world kids are getting high, getting fucked (partly why we call it "getting fucked up", no?) -- and sometimes being raped (used in ways they object to and didn't / couldn't consent to)

And let's face it, often the rapists are equally as high...

But, by most accounts, this site tried to INFER that, without actually DOING that...

So, I agree with the majority that the site was "morally offensive" to me... and I'm not "sexually" sorry that it's gone.

HOWEVER - I also do not believe that a BANK should be the one making those decisions. So I am "intellectually" (in the sense of wanting to keep a free and open society) sorry that it left us this way - and I would like to see steps taken to curtail the ability of banks to do this to other businesses.

@storytellerd said in Biden: "“It’s time we remembered that ‘We the people’ are the government.":

@lololulu19 Having a balanced budget is not a good idea right now. The federal debt is our money supply. There are specific cases you might want to reduce the money supply but just having a "balanced budget" is not one of them.

We haven't had a "balanced" budget since Clinton - and Obama's reckless spending was only outdone by Trump's! -- that is, until Biden came along...

It remains to be seen how much of Biden's wet-dream-list of spending will ever see the light of day, but you can't fault him for one thing: the bitch dreams big!

Unfortunately, as we've discussed here: while the Gov't literally can just print more money, it results in inflation pressures... and usually when that "breaks", it breaks hard...

Buckle your seatbelts, campers... if Biden and the Dems actually get -- even half -- of this wanton cash infusion into the books, we'll see inflation like we haven't seen since the 1970's!

@boltvolts said in illegal file:

@bi4smooth As stated before I agree by and large with your approach. You fail to acknowledge my point. Majority is not an issue for this site, rather for morality itself. The site owners can only maintain and serve the public it seeks to serve by arriving at a level of balance that serves the majority of its users. Nothing to do with legalities. I maintain the majority of users here would not support underage posts. The age of consent in Italy is 14, but only if the other party is within two years of their age. These legalities vary by venue, therefore the legality issue is not what is at issue in this instance.

This is part of the issue with the Internet... your 14 y/o Italian porn (with 2 x 14 y/o stars) might be legal there (?? I don't know, but you seem to imply that it is above ??)...
But that is NOT legal in the US, where the age to appear in porn is 18+ (across the country - not state-by-state).

I do not envy the staff who have to decide what is "legal age" and what isn't - ESPECIALLY with the onslaught of non-professional postings: OnlyFans, Twitter, and other large providers of short clips have no record-keeping requirements like professional studios do...

I know of at-least-one 12 y/o girl who was "publishing" sex videos with her 13 y/o boyfriend on a site where both used ludicrously fake IDs to get an account. They were "discovered" by the girl's older brother, who was apparently a collector of porn videos - at 15!

And pardon my hubris, but anyone who says that they can spot an underage performer is demonstrably a fool, and a moron to boot: Look at the earliest videos of Austin Young! He could have passed for a 13 y/o for christ's sake! But he had ID that proved he was 18... and look, sometime, at Asian Twink porn! Some of those guys look downright pre-pubescent, but have proven their identities to be 18+!

So what do you do with content that's posted from Twitter? There is no age requirement (at least not 18+), or record-keeping requirement there!

This is largely the same issue that all-but-took-down the *Tube sites (PornTube, XTube, PornHub, etc.) - some of their submissions were coming DIRECTLY from underage performers (no need for pedophiles to get involved, the kids were posting their own selves - their own content, no adults needed!)

It's a "can of worms" - and one I'm glad I don't have to dig into: as the father of 9 kids, I have nightmares of seeing one of my kids in a porn download! (Not that I would object if one of my adult kids wanted to go into porn - but I would NOT want to watch it!)

@dvt said in THIS or THAT: the game:

@andergarcia

Nope, never.

Have you ever fucked a guy (or being fucked) in a parking lot?

I used to have sex in lots of public places - often VERY public, just "obscured" (like in the middle of a busy public park, but obscured behind shrubbery.

I've had sex in cars too many times to count - sometimes in a parking lot, but the most memorable was while I was driving home from Disney World at one of the original "Gay Days" at Disney World... Thinking ca. 1985? plus or minus a year maybe... we didn't fuck until we got home, but he sucked me for most of the way home, and got me off about 15 minutes from my house... he was certain I was "done for the night" -- LOL! We fucked the rest of the night at my house! He was as surprised as I was that we were both multi-orgasmic!

So, that leads to my follow-on:

• Ever had sex (oral, anal, or even JO) in an amusement park?

@raphjd said in Scottish government banned from redefining "woman":

The Court of Session (Scotland's highest civil court) ruled yesterday that the Scottish government did not have the power to redefine "woman" to include trans-women.

Technically, the lawsuit only covered the definition of "woman" but it also includes the definition of "man".

A victory - albeit short-lived - for transphobes the whole world over, I'm sure!

Of course, courts have a long history of stemming the tide of social change! Right, Dred Scott?

@raphjd said in Scalise says he was 'shocked' when the FBI erased political motive behind GOP shooting:

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/congress-scalise-shocked-at-fbi-erasing-political-motive-for-shooting

More proof that the FBI is dirty as fuck.

If the politics were reversed, the FBI would have called it right-wing domestic terrorism.

This is just DUMB spin - The FBI didn't remove anything from the report about the guy's political beliefs, nor the role that played in choosing his target - what the report's finding states is simply that it was his intention to die at the hands of the police by doing this... it was (by their finding) a suicide, and he wanted to take some Republicans out with him!

That finding doesn't change (or cover up) the political nature of the crime - which, counter to the implication in the reporting, has never been removed or redacted from the report... but it does make it less of a "terrorist" threat (from an organization that needs to be followed up on) and more the actions of one deranged, suicidal individual (which doesn't require ongoing investigation).

@adonismix said in illegal file:

@corbyn4life

If it makes you more comfortable, you can always check to see if a studio's website has a statement of compliance with US Title 18, Section 2257 (which requires producers of erotic material to keep records proving that all models were eighteen years or older when photographed or filmed). Most websites have this, alongside an email or mailing address of the custodian of records who can be contacted if need be. The links to these can usually be found near the links to other legal information like their privacy policy.

For the record, 19nitten does have such a compliance statement, as does East Boys, so I assume they're legal in the sense that they're not child pornography.

Absolutely... and that works for "professional" content... but have you browsed the torrents lately? There is a TON of "amateur" content - it's the new fad!

A girl in a local nearby town had a huge "coming out" party for her new OnlyFans account - a big house party, where at midnight she opened her OnlyFans account - because it was her 18th birthday! (She thinks she'll be one of the "stars" who makes 6-figures from their online content!)

I have never sucked anyone while on a video call, but I have fucked my bf while he had a skype call with his family lol (the cam was off)

Do you like cumming on your face?

I have BEEN sucked (not to orgasm) while I was on a video call... but I've not been the one sucking...

"Do you like cumming on your face?" - I can read that 2 ways:

• As a much younger man I could autofellate (self-suck myself) - and I very much liked cumming in my own mouth, and would occasionally cum on my own face (though those were accidents)...
• As I can no longer autofellate (too much beer-belly!), the question would be do I like it when OTHERS cum on my face - and the answer there is the same as when it was my own cum: I don't mind if its accidental, but I'd much MUCH prefer it in my mouth!
• YES, I swallow - my own, or my partner's cum! Fresh, hot cum is a delicacy!

Do you prefer to bottom face-up (missionary) or face-down (doggy-style - either knees up or knees down...)??

Correction there: you hope if passes the SENATE... it just passed the House.

Little doubt that Biden would sign it.

However, a comment to @flozen's post: it would be possible to pass on a 51/50 vote, IF the Republicans who are not in favor didn't attempt to filibuster it...

@lololulu19 said in Scalise says he was 'shocked' when the FBI erased political motive behind GOP shooting:

@bi4smooth What a load of manure.. the FBI most certainly do not have any interest whatsoever in telemarketers.

You really don't have the mental capacity to see that I was talking about 2 different things?

For your information: the FBI doesn't investigate telemarketers, the FCC does... I don't refer the telemarketers to the FBI for prosecution, just for the fun of it!

Still, if only I'd left a clue that one might not have been related to the other... I don't know, something like: "I cannot share the details..."

I think I'll start referring to @lololulu19 as "scarecrow"....

@adonismix said in illegal file:

You're right that nothing is absolute. There are, unfortunately, unscrupulous people out there who will flat out lie about the age of the people involved. On other websites, I've seen people upload known underage videos and magazines while claiming the subjects are adults, and if I didn't know what they were, I'd have easily assumed they were telling the truth. (I've also seen people flat-out upload videos and photos of little kids, which is its own problem, but thankfully doesn't seem to be an issue here.) This isn't even touching the issue of fake IDs.

I think the only thing you can really do is report it if you see something that looks wrong and exercise caution as best you can.

That's the system here: see underage? report it, and it will be removed. People who consistently upload under-age content will be removed, too! LOL

OK, so Florida is the State that I have lived in for 54 of my 58 years... born & raised here in the Sunshine State (and, sadly, home of everyone's favorite nutball, "Florida Man")...

Most of you are falling into the deliberate trap that is being set for you:

• Banning the "teaching" of LGBTQ issues in K-3 isn't the "crux" of the bill - it's a lightening rod to draw attention away from the other part of the bill... the part that empowers individual parents to sue schools and school personnel over perceived inappropriate instruction.

As to the other crap you've found digging around the intentional rabbit-hole (rabbit-trap?):

• Anti-Grooming implies that LGBTQ issues are "learned" - a very 1950's way of thinking, and provably wrong. You can't teach kids to be gay any more than you can "straight camp" teach them to be straight! BUT by making such preposterous claims, the LGBTQ activists are focused on that statement, instead of the empowerment of the radical, religious right who wants to ensure that our schools "teach Christian values" to our children!
• There are tens of thousands of K-3 teachers in this State, and some of them are BAD at their jobs. What the hell do you expect for a job that requires a college degree and pays only $36k/yr! - You're NOT going to get the "best and brightest", and you're absolutely going to attract people (and hire them - out of desperation!) who have "ulterior motives" to being teachers.... whether that's power-hungry bullies, or child molesters, or other bad intentions... they're there, and at those wages, we're stuck trying to weed them out AFTER they've been hired!
• There is no widespread "curriculum" where teachers are "instructing" K-3 (5-10 y/o kids) in LGBTQ issues... but what is the Kindergarten teacher supposed to do NOW when Billy draws HIS family - like all the other kids in the class, and he has himself, his little sister, the dog, the cat, the goldfish... and his 2 dads?

IMHO, this is a "play on socially divisive issues" campaign (those LGBTQ people are "training" our kids and "recruiting" them so they can be molested by those pedo-loving LGBTQ people later!) that is also hoping to leverage the same tactic the TX religious right is using to attack abortion: kill them with lawsuits from individuals, not the State!

What's more, the language in this bill is so vague, it is sure to be struck down in the courts...

Just my observations... from the front lines

@raphjd said in National Debt Exceeds $123 Trillion, or Nearly $800,000 per Taxpayer:

@eobox91103

It's not just many years into the future, but also the rampant theft from Medicare and SSI for the last 7 decades. Ike started the trend and most if not all Presidents after him also raided those accounts.

If those accounts had what the UK calls "triple locks" then they would be safe. Since they don't, we keep hearing how SSI won't be around much longer without a miracle, despite everyone paying into it.

I know I would be banned from most gay sites since I am not a liberal.

I can't argue that you're not a liberal - but I would argue that you're not a conservative, either!

• liberals are known for their pie-in-the-sky predictions (often based on the most favorable predictions all piled on top of each other)
• conservatives are known for their pragmatic, truth-based evaluations

With my other hand (left hand, in my case)

Pop music or rock/indie music?

I jerk off with both (switching back and forth) - which I'm told is VERY odd for a non-ambidextrous person. That is, I can only write legibly with my right, only throw accurately with my right... yet, I beat off with both (not at the same time - I WISH my member was so large!)

I'm more into "old" POP

• Jazz of the 'teens, 20's, 30's
• Big Band of the 40's & 50's
• Rock of the 60's thru current (even Disco from the 70's!)

Question for those who live alone only:

When you use the bathroom (#2) - do you close the bathroom door?

Aside: I saw a commercial for a Bidet (that's a water spray that is installed on the toilet seat to more efficiently - and WAY more effectively - clean your bum when you #2) - it was CLASSIC "Marketing 101"
It started by "creating" a problem that doesn't really exist:

• toilet paper has been bleached (duh! Who would use brown toilet paper?)
• some toilet paper has chemicals (yup - people buy scented TP, as well as some have "lotion" in them ... those would be chemicals, but they're purely optional)
• some people have had reactions to the bleaching agents & chemicals (um, yeah - there are literally people who are allergic to water!)

The solution, of course, was to purchase - and have a plumber install - a bidet... for, get this: The incredible low price of JUST $500!!! (Check out your Home Depot - bidet's aren't THAT expensive, unless you fall for this marketing "trick"

100% in support of this - there should NEVER have been any confusion:

Trans women (MTF) benefit from male genetics - even if they undergo gender "affirming" surgery (that is: even if their balls are cut-off!) - that is PATENTLY unfair to biological women. That it was allowed for 1 week, much less several years, is just unfair and, in my mind, unreasonable.

Mind you, I have no objection to trans women in the ladies bathroom - I'm under no illusion that women are going into the bathroom to show off their vaginas (or penises) to each other... its just a bathroom, and the idea of a 2nd one for women is a "first world problem". 99% of women's restrooms in the 1st world have individual stalls that give each person a significant level of privacy. (99% of women's restrooms OUTSIDE the 1st world are just holes in the ground and are already shared with men ).

That said, I draw the line when it comes to locker-rooms - where people are undressing & bathing. If you've HAD the surgery, and can pass for a female (albeit with surgical scarring) - when totally naked, then we can talk... but if you've still got a penis, you do not (perhaps yet) have the right to be in a women's locker-room. If you're trans and are uncomfortable in the "other" lockerroom, please ask for separate accommodations (usually, 1 or more coach's offices are in the same locations).

COMMON SENSE if you ask me!
