    FWIW:  "fraught" is an adjective, not a noun...

    Thus, nothing can ever be merely "fraught".  Something (noun) can be "fraught" with danger, for example.

    However, "fraught" can be simple (i.e. non-verb-linking) adjective, applied to a noun, as in @seekingversatility's post "edits were fraught" (the edits being the noun, i.e. these are fraught edits, i.e. difficult edits). See sense 2 in the Collins entry https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/fraught

    @viking8x6 isn't the Gone info page when loading a profileprofile the final steps for account deletion?

    @birthdaywoes it does appear that you requested your account be deleted back on Dec 4th. If you didn't want that, you should ask to have it reversed.

    What scared me most at my last appointment was that she told me several times that this BLIP is the result of me not taking the medication correctly.

    You have the facts. If in fact you were taking the medication every day, she's wrong. If she didn't believe you when you told her that you were, she's a bad doctor, unless there's some good reason for her to believe that you're mistaken or lying.

    The whole time the doctor insisted on how my long-term treatment is going to fail and that my virus gonna be resistant to the medications. and that if I don't stop having unprotected sex, I will have a very serious problem

    Quote

    She made me very scared about even syphilis, she told me that I could get other types of syphilis whose antibiotics don't work well

    Both of these suggestions are greatly exaggerated. Here in the U.S.A. less than 1/3 of socioeconomically advantaged people living with HIV die of HIV related causes (2017 numbers). That rate is still improving and it includes cases of HIV that are NOT treatedI couldn't easily find numbers for only cases that ARE treated, but they must be lower. Multi-drug resistant syphilis is not, as far as I know, significantly prevalent right now, although MDR gonorrhea is. The main problem with syphilis is that its symptoms are frequently subtle and similar to other diseases, so it's easy to miss. Regular testing is our best tool for controlling is. Does her manner of talking about it encourage you to test regularly? I think not.

    Quote

    going to this medical appointment traumatized me because it seems like the doctor wanted to shock me all the time, leave me with fear...

    I don't want to go back to this doctor. I felt that I was being judged

    It certainly sounds like she may have been judging you and she certainly was trying to belittle you and manipulate you. In your place, I would definitely find a new doctor.

    overdose on tanning radiation

    Just my opinion, but judging from the hue of his tan, he doesn't even have the patience to do that. Orangish tans are a product of quick-tan lotions that produce skin coloration artificially rather than stimulating a natural tan as UV does.

    I would only note that the Mozilla team in no way "started the internet," which dates back to the late 1960's at a time when Mark Andreessen, the guy who created Netscape (and moved on to Mozilla) wasn't even born yet.

    What Andreessen did was create one of the first graphical browsers - but that was in 1994, by which time the internet was already 25+ years old. 

    What is colloquially referred to as "the internet" was originally called the world wide web, and was created in 1989 and opened to the public in 1991 (per wikipedia, which is right about this one, as we were there). Before that there was no such thing as a web site; one could transfer files and email (via their separate protocols), but there was no concept of a publicly viewable hypertext document that could be rendered as what we now know as a web page.

    I  must not get so attached going forward.

    Heartbreak is inevitable. And a rite of passage.

    Glad you have moved beyond wallowing.

    Having had mine broken a few times, and broken a few myself, I'm offering free advice (worth its weight in gold) -

    DO get so attached going forward. Yes, heartbreak hurts, it hurts like death if the love was truly good, but it's worth it. Love is the best thing there is.

    Hi BZ, whenever I try to respond to a chat request I get the following (screenshot). Any ideas?

     

    The chat room has a bug that causes it to throw that error for some users. See the topic above.

    The chat room is NOT the same as a private message from another user. Those should work fine, but you may not have the privilege to send one yet - it is granted to new users after they have participated in the site for a little while (this keeps the spammers and bots down to a minimum). You can certainly post a reply on the sender's activity page if they have allowed others to post there, or on your own activity page in any case.

  8. To add pics on a personal message, you have to post them in a gallery and then attach them to the message. The sequence goes something like this:

    1. Create a new public album (use the "Create" pull-down at the top to create a new photo album)
    2. Upload your images into it
    3. Select the image you want to add to your message
    4. Copy the URL from the browser address bar
    5. Create the private message
    6. Position the cursor where you want the image inserted
    7. Click "Insert image from URL"
    8. Paste the URL in the box
    9. Click "insert into post"
  9. @BigBearSean - you are preaching to the choir. In a lot of such cases, there literally aren't appropriate places to place individual posts that are edge cases or are intersectional (e.g. hetero chemsex). If you have a case like that, make your best guess and if you're in doubt about whether it's a sensitive topic, feel free to report it yourself and have a moderator weigh in. If you report things yourself, you will not get a penalty.

    As for revising and improving the structure, we moderators can only suggest things; @rawTOP has to make any actual changes. His intent (for quite some time now) has been to reboot the site entirely using a completely new infrastructure, because the old infrastructure is antiquated and is really not that well-suited for the purposes he's putting it to here anyway. Therefore he's not focused on making the current site better, so much as making the new one better than the old one. Then of course he also was out for a big chunk of time last year for health reasons.

    You mean to say you clicked play? 😮 Are you alright there darling? Everyone, I'm worried about @viking8x6, I'm going to call the Doctor to check him out 😆

    I won't complain if he looks like Dr. Scorpio 😁

    I think I have more than a bit of Elephant's Child in my ancestry. It's a double-edged sword, for sure...

    Assuming a North American style public toilet with dividers between urinals and separate stalls for toilets, how do I get some action?

    I need your advice! I have read all the threads but I feel like I am missing something... How do I advertise? How do I non-verbally encourage sex?

    • Do I stand at the urinal with my pants down below my butt?
    • Do I do that and play with myself? How overtly?
    • Do I wait bent over in a stall with the door open?
    • I realize eye contact is significant, I hope I can read the queues. Any advice?

    How long do you "loiter" at any one public toilet before you give up?

    Do you rotate between a few different public toilets as a way to improve any chances?

    What other advice would you offer on how to actually advertise or signal that you're down to suck dick or get fucked?

    I realize there are a million threads that talk about people's various experiences. I guess what I am missing from many of those stories or shared experience is that I am looking for specific advice on how to present or advertise I am available and willing. What are the queues or responses I should not fail to read?

    Thanks!

     

     

    Your first three bullet points are way too much, as @BootmanLA says.

    Avoid places that are obviously patrolled, or be exceedingly careful and subtle if you choose them. I personally have been thrown out of a department store.

    Often one has to "loiter" for rather long periods of time to cross paths with someone likely. It depends a lot on how much traffic there is, and how much of it is cruising. Explicit graffiti can be a clue to a more likely location.

    Eye contact is key if you're in a position to get it (obviously if you're both in stalls, not so much). If a guy gives you more than very brief eye contact, he's either interested or disgusted and horrified. Usually it's easy to tell which.

    Toe tap while sitting in a stall is the standard. If the other guy taps back (and he's not just flexing while taking a dump), you're good (repetition is helpful). Then you just have to figure out who's sticking it under.

    At the urinals, taking half a step back and stroking a bit is advertising, as is peeking over to see if he's doing that.

    In any kind of high-traffic situation, it's HIGHLY advisable to meet there and then take it elsewhere for the action proper. If it's quiet, on the other hand, you can get away with rather a lot... If you're going to play right in the T-room, a lockable door is brilliant, but a squeaky door (better yet, a squeaky door with a vestibule) can be pretty helpful.

    From my experience, however, internet chat apps have decimated old style cruising pretty severely.

  12. I didn't make it through the first minute... they lost me at "grandchild".

    An alternative explanation: God looked down on June 14th, 1946, and said "Oh gosh, will you look at the time? The eschaton is coming up right quick, I'd better get the Antichrist into the picture..."

    I beg to differ, @BootmanLA  My own penalty came with no warning nor prior offenses.

     

    4 minutes ago, BootmanLA said:

    each type of offense gets a certain number of warning points, which generally expire after a certain period of time ... If that number of points is high enough ... then you get a penalty.

    Y'all are talking a bit at cross-purposes here.  As far as I recall (and I checked the infraction) @CoachPHX did not get a penalty (as described by me above), just an infraction.

    It's perhaps worth noting here that the warning points and warnings history you see when you view your own profile are NOT visible to other Members, only to you and the staff.

    I'm not quite sure how we "search" other guys contributions, but there must be some way, in the event you're interested in my perspective regarding the Native American issue.

    I tried doing a "Search" on your profile, and it will only show the last 5 or 7 posts you made

    thanks for the reply, but I'm afraid I don't know how to do that either.  I always had secretaries to figure out how to make the damn computers work ...

    ...and here you have moderators!

     

    Here's how:

    1. Go to the home page and use the Search box in the upper right corner to search for "Native American" with the location drop-down set to "Everywhere" - 126 results
    2. Select the "More Search Options" button (just below the full-screen-width search box, at the right margin) to open the advanced search interface
    3. Choose "+ Search by Author" and enter "hntnhole" in the Author box (choose from the autocomplete dropdown). Then click "Search Again" at the right side of the full-screen-width search box. Voila! 5 results.
