    I'm sure that there will be some attempts. But, just because a senator, even a majority leader, wants something to happen doesn't mean that it will. I'm not being naïve. But, there are some things that congress people and senators who are facing re-election in two years will not want to face ... and one of them is a lot of very angry older people. What they'll do is more insidious. They just won't do anything. That's politically much easier. All they have to do is hope that Democrats are in power when it finally comes time to reduce Social Security/Medicare benefits due to insufficient funding.

    He did say that, and then was rapidly, very rapidly, forced to retract it (the typical "I was misunderstood"). Social Security is the third-rail of politics because older people vote at a very high rate. I suspect that there's a number of things that they'll do first before having the stomach to take on Social Security.

    Some guys do that because some apps are message-limited. Unfortunately, that's also the MO of catfishers. When a guy suggests that very early in the conversation, I just drop him. Otherwise, I know that he's going to be telling me all about cryptocurrency trading.

    Why? Because your "clarification" still reads as gay being a choice: Perhaps you mean to say that acting upon one's same-sex orientation is a choice. But, the orientation itself ("gay") is NOT a choice.

    Being gay is a choice??

    I think that it could be argued that if an athlete wants privacy, that individual can just turn off geolocation on their account. There is no reason to ban that feature for every athlete. That comes across as very paternalistic. Why should everyone lose that feature because some athletes come from LGBT-hostile cultures? Now, on the other hand, if Grindr has legitimate liability concerns (I'm not sure what those would be) then it should turn off the service. It is a business, after all. Personally, I won't interact with guys on Grindr who don't have their distance turned on (unless I can see them in my grid). There are just too many cat fishers out there. Even guys with distance turned on can be cat fishers, but in my experience it is a much smaller percentage than those who are hiding their distance.

    The "Respect for Marriage Act" would at least require that the Group C states recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states. Of course, if the Republicans hold the Senate, the House and the White House, they could simply repeal the law. I don't really expect the filibuster, which would be the only way to stop them, to survive if Republicans win across the board. They'll want to do as much damage in two years as possible knowing that, historically, they'll lose the House or Senate in two years.

    He left only after his attempt to interfere with the counting of the electoral votes failed. After that, it is irrelevant whether he "stayed" in the White House or not. His presidency ended at noon on January 20. At that point, he would just be a trespasser if he had physically remained in the White House.

    The clinic was in New Mexico.

    Paragraph breaks are always appreciated. Stories that are a single, dense block of text are very difficult to read.

    This is a well-written series, as are other stories by the same author. But, I agree with you. I'd rather not see images in stories (any stories, not just this series). A well-written story provides enough detail that I build an picture in my mind based on what I think is hot, and the images never match my imagination.

    At one time, Roe seemed safe. But, then the composition of the entire court system rapidly and radically changed within just a few years. That's why I worry about the future. It doesn't take a majority, or even a substantial minority, to push through change. It just takes a enough single-issue voters who are razor-focused on that goal, while the rest of us split and dither over what we should seek next and refuse to unite as a bloc against the single-issue voters.

    You're probably correct. But, do you really think that Christian nationalists are going to let porn exist in their theocracy?
  14. BergenGuy
    There used to be a lot of things that we couldn't imagine the Supreme Court doing.
  15. BergenGuy
    You're right. The risk is right-wingers shifting the definition of "obscene" to the point that it would include pornography or gay porn (they'll probably figure out a way to keep straight porn legal, for a while). The definition of "obscene" is subjective. "Obscene" materials may not be sent through the US Mail, per the Comstock Acts. Since the Comstock Acts are being used by the right-wing to try to outlaw the mailing of "abortifacients", the same people are trying to argue that it applies to private companies such as UPS and FedEx, too, which would basically cut down any physical distribution channels.

    A law could be passed that makes the interstate distribution of porn illegal. That would apply to USPS and the private carriers. And, they wouldn't have to examine every piece of mail. Just do a sting operation and order from distributors. Then, come down hard on the distributors. But, that would only work with US-based distributors. If they were foreign-based, they'd be beyond the reach of American laws and your point that there's no way that every piece of (international) mail could be examined would be true. But, the heteros will be pissed when they discover that they can't get their porn, either.

    I used to like MH. But, it really went downhill when they eliminated the region-specific chat rooms and forced everyone into one room. People were supposed to be able to create other chat rooms, but I found that they were unstable and usually lasted just a few seconds before I got dumped back into the single chat room. In my area, I don't know of a good alternative to BBRT. There are a lot of Sniffies users, but most of the profiles are completely empty or the guys are very young. Fortunately, there are hundreds of BBRT users in the NYC/NJ area active at any one time.

    I don't really blame them. All those emails are a distraction and won't lead to a faster resolution of the problem. The real question is how many people, having read the message, will email them anyway?
  19. BergenGuy
    This is the message being displayed as of 10:20 EST on Friday morning: BBRTS Servers are DOWN Yes, we know about it. No, we are NOT going out of business. Yes, we are WORKING on correcting the problem. It is a HARDWARE issue that must be addressed. No, it was NOT a Data Breach No we do NOT have an ETA Lastly, there is NO NEED to email in with questions.

    Personally, I think stories are hotter without pics because that allows the reader to visualize the guys in the way that they think is hot.

    If those women had been as motivated in 2016 as they are now, we wouldn't in this mess. When a party says that they're going to screw you if elected, believe them. I think that the 2024 election will have a great impact on where LGBT people decide to live and retire. Living in a blue state offers more protection than living in a blue oasis in a red state desert.

    I'm confused. I thought that Dale was already in the office. After all, he was the one who introduced Brock to Dr. Shah.

    I always found those instructions to be frustratingly vague. But, I see that the CDC site is finally more explicit: Although it provides information about "on-demand" PrEP use, the CDC doesn't recommend it (they don't seem to oppose it, either). [think before following links] https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/prep/on-demand-prep.html

    I don't know if there is a law that requires that a room be entered daily, but the law that requires rooms to be cleaned daily was repealed in May of this year: [think before following links] https://thenevadaglobe.com/775times/nevada-governor-signs-bill-eliminating-daily-hotel-room-cleanings/

    I've encountered bottoms who are the same ... "safe sex only" in their Grindr/Scruff profiles, but never mention condoms once the sex starts. My theory is that they're concerned about being "outed" to friends who may know their profiles, so they're using the socially-acceptable response to the safer-sex question.
