  1. Conversely, I'd L O V E to see "cut."
  2. I'm a man of many talents! Oh, your popcorn is getting cold. :p:p
  3. OK, @marylander1940 , we're good.
  4. Oh, no. I'm just making the popcorn.
  5. I'm sorry, @marylander1940 , we have one to go:
  6. True. I addition to quoting your message I should have quoted the one about Europe being less Puritanical than the US.
  7. Thank you for pointing out that there are places in Europe where this could be problematic. My guess is it would be equally problematic in Poland and in the more conservative areas of Germany.
  8. I didn't notice any cities in the pics.
  9. "Bedbuster" is probably a closer equivalent to "doorbuster."
  10. Wait - it doesn't mean Big Blue Cadillac? In fairness to you, I've seen white guys talk about their BBC. The first time seeing that I questioned myself about the meaning of the expression. They probably think it means something else.

    Undetectable

    A quick Google search revealed several results, but a Q&A posted on Beta with Barry S. Zingman, M.D., medical director of the AIDS Center at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx and professor of medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine seemed to be the most comprehensive and well-written. One of the questions is: Q: If I’m undetectable, is there a chance my viral load will become detectable again? A: Being undetectable does not mean that you are cured of HIV. There are three instances when your HIV viral load might come back and be detectable again. The most common instances are so-called viral “blips.” Blips are when your HIV levels become slightly detectable, but at a very low level, and then goes back to being undetectable again. People may experience viral blips when they take their HIV medications every day. Viral blips are usually due to issues in the lab, such as some slight error in the test or in the test conditions in the lab. Occasionally they are due to a slight but true increase in the viral load due to a stress such as an illness or a vaccine. Viral blips, in which the viral load goes right back down to undetectable soon, are considered harmless. There is no appreciable chance that a person with a viral blip will transmit HIV to another person. People also become detectable when they stop taking their HIV medications or take them only partially. It may take between a week to several weeks after stopping HIV treatment for HIV to become detectable again, but people will see the levels of virus in their body go up to detectable levels. The least likely scenario for a person to go from being undetectable to detectable these days is if the virus in their body becomes resistant to the medications they are taking. (“Resistant” means the medications have stopped working against HIV.) This is very rare for people who take their HIV medications every day, because the HIV medications we prescribe these days (and at least for the last 10 – 15 years) are very powerful and control HIV very well if taken properly. Resistance is no longer something that is expected to occur, no matter how long a person is treated, as long as they take their medicine well. He also addresses the meaning of "Undetectable", as follows: Q: If my viral load is undetectable, can I transmit HIV to other people? A: I’m very happy to say that we know the answer to this. If you are undetectable, and have been on HIV medications for at least six months, and you continue that treatment, the risk of transmitting HIV is effectively zero. This finding has been well-established over the last six to seven years by multiple research studies. After studying thousands of couples, over many years, research has shown that if an HIV-positive person is on effective HIV medications for at least six months, is undetectable, and stays on their HIV medications, they will not transmit HIV to other people. The Q&A is a good read. I'd advise reading it and referring back when questions come to mind.
  12. That is incorrect. Truvada has been used as an HIV treatment for almost 15 years. According to the POZ website: "...Truvada is an HIV medication. It is in a category of HIV medicines called nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Truvada was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of HIV in August 2004. ..." When used as Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis, i.e. "PrEP," the patient is required to be HIV negative. Truvada is the first and, as of this moment, only drug approved to prevent HIV infection when taken as prescribed. POZ goes on to say: "...Truvada was approved for use as PrEP to prevent HIV among those at high risk in July 2012..." As you can see, Truvada was used to treat HIV for almost eight years before being approved to prevent infection. Just a minor correction. While taking Truvada as PrEP, you are required to be re-tested every three months to make sure you remain HIV - and are not experiencing reduced liver functionality, among other side-effects. While researching the answer to @Unicorn's reply I learned that the FDA has approved a generic equivalent of Truvada. However, it is unclear when this might be available.
  13. PrEP stands for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis. It means taking Truvada, an HIV treatment, as a preventative measure against acquiring HIV. PNP stands for Party aNd Play. Sadly, it doesn't mean cake and ice cream are being served. It means using drugs while having sex.
  14. It is my hope and belief that by "everyone" you referring to "everyone you talked to" and not generalizing that all of the members are afraid to "cross the powers that be?" If my hope has been dashed and my belief unfounded, subtract one from the tally for me, please. There is no reason to fear "crossing the powers that be." All one has to do is follow the "Terms and Rules." Unlike many Forum members, I've read those terms and rules. They are clear, common sense-based, and easy to follow. It baffles me why so many members have such a hard time with them. On the few occasions where I've found a post to be so shocking, disturbing, or counter to the rules that I've felt something needed to be done, I've reported the post. In most of the cases, immediate action was taken. In one case, a moderator informed me that they were monitoring the post and in another it was politely pointed out that I was incorrectly interpreting the rules. When I've had a question about whether something I wanted to post would violate one of the terms and rules I've asked and received a polite, cordial answer. What's to fear about that?

    If you were a true "friend" you would do a better job of talking up your friend's website. You are doing him no favors.

    I hate to be the one to tell you this, but if the Content Management System (CMS) is different, it is a different website. It is analogous to replacing your car with an exact copy of your car. It might look identical, but it is not the same car. The "internal things" are, in fact, the things that make it technically a different website. While you are correct about the CMS making it a different website, adding feature functionality alone does not make a website a "different" website. Likewise, a website becoming more (or less) popular does not make it a different website. You might want to re-think your strategy of calling potential website clients names. It is very bad for business.

    Funny you should point that out in this post. A few months after the name change I noticed the banner at the top of the main page read "rentboy.pro" and set a message to the site admin. The reply was very flippant and came across as if the admin was not serious about maintaining the site in a post FOSTA-SESTA world. Months went by before the banner was changed. Does this make me hope the site meets its demise? Of course not. Does this make me question how long it will last? Well...
  23. This is great advice. The way an escort responds to a negative review speaks volumes about him. Also,
