  1. In my area, 30 days of generic Truvada can be found for $27 using GoodRx coupons. You’d still need a doc to prescribe it and do periodic testing. And it would show in pharmacy records. If you’re wanting to minimize risks, you probably want to also get on doxy-PEP to reduce risks of other STIs.
  2. I had chronic Hep B in early 90s. After about 9 months, I switched docs and he put me on Interferon (which I believe was experimental at that time). I gave myself an injection once a day for about three months and disease cleared. I also have antibodies for Hep A and B though I was never aware of active disease.
  3. Wow! Incredible storytelling. Thanks so much!
  4. I started writing to you -a bit about my background and almost moving NY. Somehow, I lost it. I’m sure it was full of typos, so if it pops up, ignore it. It’s post-ambien haze anyway. Will try to write something coherent tomorrow.

  5. I’ve taken my Ambien, my better judgment is down for the count, sand I’ll play…. @partying.hard @versmetropig @BBArchangel @earlystart A pleasant way to drift into slumberland.
  6. I think I just wasn’t in the right frame of mind to appreciate Barbie. I’ll give it a second watch. Just saw it and it’s great. Emma Stone is brilliant. Mark Ruffalo is hilarious!
  7. What movies have you loved this year? For me, Oppenheimer is head and shoulders above the rest of the field. Loved Saltburn - and not just for the kinky parts. Appreciated Killers of the Flower Moon - it’s Scorsese after all. Movies I’m still waiting to see: American Fiction, All of us Strangers, The Color Purple, The Holdovers, and Poor Things.
  8. As governor, Abbott had no power to intervene in impeachment proceedings, but I doubt it’s anything that Trump even remembers. It’s true that Abbott didn’t go crazy with mandatory COVID reopening as soon as Trump would have liked. Probably Abbott is too smart for Trump to choose him anyway. He’d be worried about Abbott overshadowing him. And I doubt that Trump wants a wheelchair-bound VP. He’d upstage trump and would probably preclude some insults trump would like to throw around.
  9. She’s smart enough to know how evil he is. But she knew how evil he was before becoming his U.N. ambassador. She’s a smooth-talking opportunist. Unlikely that Trump would choose her though since she’s run against him in primaries. As far as I know, Abbott hasn’t publicly taken on Trump on any significant policy issue. I believe tension between them is due to Abbott’s declining to appear at Trump rallies. But he has endorsed Trump, so he’s a more likely choice than Haley. And if Trump were to choose him, Abbott would be perfectly acceptable to MAGA. More likely possibility is that Abbott will be MAGA choice for ‘28. Supreme Court will ultimately make this decision and extremely unlikely it will disqualify Trump.
  10. Greg Abbott is a plausible, terrifying possibility.
  11. Of course we do like people who get more votes. Accordingly, we should have had presidents Gore and Hillary in addition to Obama and Biden.
  12. Ah, thanks. Noticed it a bunch of times. Usually “thAt” - but also “hArd” and “strAngers”. So I thought there might have been some coded meaning. Since it wasn’t chem fiction though, nothing made sense.
  13. Such a hot story! Thanks! Can someone tell me what the capitalized A is for in words like thAt?
  14. Oak Lawn bottom.
  15. Planning to go tomorrow night in Dallas. Website says condoms and lube provided. Asked a friend and he said lube is water based, so I’ll take my own.
  16. Reporting today that Johnson’s financial disclosures since he took office in 2016 claim that Johnson and wife have no bank account containing more than $1000 and no assets is a bit unbelievable. What is he hiding? [think before following links] https://www.msn.com/en-ca/money/topstories/very-unusual-financial-disclosures-reveal-mike-johnson-does-not-have-a-bank-account-or-investments/ar-AA1je0il
  17. On what basis do you make this claim? Everything I see in his past indicates he will be a disaster. Especially for LGBT and non-Christians. And he has no leadership experience to draw on.
  18. Level 6 until ‘85. Level 1 from then until I got on PrEP about 8 years ago. Level 6 since then. Added DoxyPEP last month.
  19. I have a high-quality - expensive - medigap policy. It has been terrific. Haven’t had any long-term hospital stays but I pay absolutely no co-pay or deductible on any doctor, specialist, or ER visit. (I believe it’s Plan H and is no longer available to new Medicare enrollees.) The only thing I’ve encountered is that Medicare doesn’t approve lab testing for syphillis. Seems very weird to me. But I go to a free provider for PrEP and they do all testing for free as well. OTOH, Part D Medicare for prescription drug coverage is just horrible.
  20. This is link is likely listed elsewhere. But @teralex was asking about Czech glory holes in another discussion. I believe this is the original video of Czech glory holes. Definitely worth a watch! [think before following links] https://www.xvideos.com/video58353583/euro_gay_gloryhole_club
  21. @teralexI found a link to what I believe is the original video. Don’t think I can post it here. But I’ll post it in the Bareback Porn section on the Xvideos post.
  22. Nope. But they should be everywhere. The original video of the Czech glory holes is not to be missed!
  23. I’m not sure those things move the Overton window. But I’m definitely not an expert.
  24. So after further consideration and a bit of reading…. [think before following links] https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/26/us/politics/overton-window-democrats.html?(Behind paywall. DM me if you want gift article link.) “The key is that shifts begin with the public. Mr. Overton argued that the role of organizations like his own was not to lobby politicians to support policies outside the window, but to convince voters that policies outside the window should be in it. If they are successful, an idea derided as unthinkable can become so inevitable that it’s hard to believe it was ever otherwise.” [Perhaps a valid example would be the Harry and Louise commercials run against HRC’s health care proposal.] [Overton’s associate explained after Overton’s death] “‘Public officials cannot enact any policy they please like they’re ordering dessert from a menu,” Mr. Lehman said in an interview. “They have to choose from among policies that are politically acceptable at the time. And we believe the Overton window defines that range of ideas.’” [think before following links] https://time.com/4446348/welfare-reform-20-years/#lnih3x1ysplmjbbi7em “A TIME/CNN survey in 1994 found that 81% of respondents wanted “fundamental reform” to the welfare system, and a slightly higher percentage believed that the system already in place discouraged needy people from finding work.” So wasn’t Clinton triangulating so that he could position himself firmly within the Overton window to get re-elected? In the face of a large Republican congressional opposition, and to co-opt a Dole campaign issue, he signed legislation revamping welfare. As a committed liberal, I didn’t like it. It didn’t change my opinion of policy but it seemed a necessary sacrifice to keep most of liberal agenda intact.
  25. Thanks, @BootmanLA. I definitely see that with the Clinton examples you cite. I’ll have to think about the rest of it for a while.
