    Neither narrative ("voted in massive numbers to Dump trump" nor "4 years later [en masse] changed their mind") is at all accurate. They were just media fiction. Depends on what you consider "massive numbers" of course, but even Obama in 2008 had a higher popular vote margin than in either 2020 or 2024.

    At one point, I was dating someone I had met in a public restroom. He got cold feet and left me to go back to his girlfriend. Then 6 months later I saw him at the video store with another guy. Moral: Don't try to date closet cases. It doesn't end well.

    Sean Maygers, with Will Angell topping. And clearly doing a good job... just look at those toes curl! A delightful find.

    So far, you're correct. But if the data is correct, 11 million illegally crossed the borders from 2020 to 2025, the number includes jumpers through the Southern border as well as visa overstays and those through other means including human trafficking. Obama did it too. Obama also deported more illegal aliens than several other recent Presidents and started the family separation protocols, but this isn't something that our American media likes to cover. (And yes, I can find the stats on both). Errr.... and these are related... HOW? This discussion, um, argument... free-for-all? ... appears to have jumped the shark. Given the original post, I suppose I should not be surprised by that.

    Perhaps not the best example to choose here. The left-wing and right-wing media have each, in their own different ways, manipulated the facts (as best we can determine them) of this case. I'll just point out here that his alleged association with MS-13 is just that, and that the immigration courts who gave him due process in 2019 ruled that he could not be deported back to El Salvador, an order the Trump administration chose to ignore. https://www.factcheck.org/2025/04/due-process-and-the-abrego-garcia-case/

    We moderators do our best not to take sides, except of course in those cases where the "side" in question is contrary to the rules we're supposed to be enforcing. That said, we are fallible humans who have our cranky days and are doing this on a volunteer basis. It isn't clear, in this particular instance, whose side exactly you think the moderator is taking. If you honestly think a moderator has made a mistake, you should private message that moderator to discuss it. You should not make snarky and/or oblique comments in the topics themselves. You also shouldn't assume you know whether someone else has received a warning or penalty for their post, and proceed to jump on their bandwagon.

    Infractions and penalties on BZ are private information. They can only be seen by the staff and by the "offender".

    You are right. In an effort to provide something relevant on the topic, I neglected to carefully vet my google results. My bad.

    I am saying that the particular US government website referenced by @insatiableholeinTO appears to be promoting "conspiracy theories" in the guise of information about the origins of Covid-19. It makes a lot of unsupported statements. It engages in a great deal of casting blame in the form of unsupported allegations at specific individuals or groups. It characterizes specific actions or agendas as negative when there were excellent public health reasons for those actions. So yes, @insatiableholeinTO, I'm saying that the government is "lying" (or to be precise, misleading). Regarding the specific issue of Dr. Fauci, I did a good deal of web searching across a variety of different sources to try and find out exactly what it was that he did do with regard to the publication on Covid-19 that is the leading item on the covid.gov web page. Yes, he did recommend to the authors that they omit the possibility of a lab leak as a potential origin of the virus. Does that mean he's to blame for the pandemic. No. Does that mean he instigated the publication in question (which appears to be what the web site is trying to imply)? No.

    That would be true, if you had made an argument. You haven't. Arguments involve taking a clear position and supporting it with relevant information. Your post from May 10th contains neither of those, just a link to a page that has the hallmarks of propaganda. [in case you were confused about that: https://cognitivepsycho.com/how-to-recognize-propaganda-a-guide-to-protecting-your-mind/ ] Indeed you don't, when the government has done it for you.

    Here's a non-paywalled article on the same: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/sen-mike-lee-wants-a-national-definition-of-obscenity-here-s-why/ar-AA1EtQv1

    Kudos to @brnbk for that thoughtful and detailed input!

    The devil is in the details, but numerous non-US governments have issued travel advisories for their citizens about difficulties with traveling to the U.S. At least one such incident that is specific to gay people comes up in a quick google search: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/3122632.stm Oops. I take it back. That reference is from 2003, as correctly pointed out by @harrysmith25.

    🤣 The mathematical implication about your sex life is brilliant. TY! Oink!
  16. viking8x6
    No, you are not allowed to ask for money in a sexual context. Do it out behind the dumpster of your trailer park like everybody else.

    Apparently, like many other Americans, he has difficulty with some of the shorter words in English. "All", for example.

    This is a fascinating study; thanks for posting it!

    That is correct. Nobody's profile will be deleted, and you will still be able to log in with the same credentials so long as your IP address is tagged by the system as outside a restricted state (which will now include the UK).

    If by "actually passes" you mean he dies, if the story was ever here it would have been removed. Snuff is not allowed anywhere on the site.

    Undetectable HIV+ will read as positive (HIV+) on a home test. That's because the test measures antibodies to HIV, not the virus itself. HIV+ guys with undetectable viral load don't need meds other than their primary ART to keep it that way. Most of the commonly used ARTs (at least in the first world, I'm not sure about elsewhere) are three-drug combinations in a single tablet.

    Once you have done the course of treatment (usually penicillin injections, either 1 dose or 3 doses at intervals) your RPR titer (quantitative RPR test that gives you a number rather than positive or negative) will level off or start going down. A stable or declining value indicates no active infection. It's a fairly lame test and I don't know why they don't have a better DNA based test, but I researched it a bit and couldn't find any such thing. Might be time to get access to a university library.

    Those questions are definitely things to ask your doctor. Syphilis varies in infectiousness depending on the stage of the disease. As I understand it, it's typically more contagious when there are skin lesions. Contrary to @Electricterror's comment, doxyPEP is fairly effective against syphilis. The only trouble is that people often don't know they have it, so you are in the dark about whether you need to use it or not. Your syphilis antibody test will always be positive from now on. Your RPR test may or may not return to negative (mine sometimes is and sometimes isn't). You have now joined the club of people who get to wonder whether they have been reinfected or just have antibodies from before. Sadly, the available tests are not great at distinguishing that. C'est la guerre.

    All tests have some error rate, which is why confirmatory tests are done by medical professionals when initial screening shows a positive result. The only tests available over the counter (that I'm aware of) have a very low false negative rate (meaning if they say negative, you can believe it), but a significant false positive rate (meaning if they say positive, there's a sizable probability that it's an error). Note that, as others have posted above, there is a window of time after infection where these tests will give a false negative. https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/approved-blood-products/information-regarding-oraquick-home-hiv-test The immediacy of results done be medical professionals depends on the lab facilities that are used. If the samples are shipped to a third party lab for testing, it can take anywhere from a day to a week. If the facility where the sample is taken has capability on site, it can take as little as 20-30 minutes, even for a PCR test (the kind that measures viral load and is accurate a much shorter time after infection).
