I was getting a similar run around before the upgrade. Are you having trouble with 'remember me' too or not using it/private browsing?

I noticed it today while in Hollywood looking to have some fun. The personal section has also been especially flag-happy of late, somebody offering to be generous may get through but any guy requesting generous seems to get flagged off almost instantly, in Los Angeles at least. Yet the bitter fucks determined to stop my having fun leave all the damn PNP and Tina ads alone! So where will the guys end up? I think the bitter crusaders will keep them off any part of CL... so... Backpage? Dating sites, like gay.co.uk? Maybe some will get their stuff together enough to have ads on Men4rentnow or Rentboy, but I really like the spur of the moment, not really doing this as a career, and not charging Rentboy prices kind of guys! Are there still chatrooms with those kind of guys? I was on SMB today. 3 drag queens out, obviously working, every pass... how do they get away with it? Only noticed two guys, out a lot less often and much more discrete... one muscular but well past his prime (hired before) latin guy that hangs out with the day laborers near the lumber yard (doesn't do much and not a great massage) and a guy I hadn't seen before (not good looking and also didn't seem very bright in our brief conversation)...

Come to think of it, in any western culture... did Christianity stamp out any traces of it? I know what they did to Roman art they found with any depictions of homosexuality...

I don't think non-photographic art can be illegal in that way. There's also 3D stuff like that and with torture/etc on some websites. Yaoi seems pretty interesting culturally, in that it's mostly consumed in Japan by girls. Much like straight guys and lesbian porn here, yet we don't have the counterpart at all...

Any thread that gets locked stays the bright color, never washes out to show it's been read, even if I click 'mark forum as read'.

Well, I tried restoring the cookies.sqlite file from the backup of my Mozilla profile from before and the site now knows who I am when I first get here. But I still think there may be a bug with it giving out the initial cookie now. Other sites were working fine, Hotmail remebered me, for example.

I'm logged out even if I close and immediately re-open. In both Mozilla and IE (8). Just tried it. When I logged in again it didn't prompt me for location, seems to login fine, but I am logged out again as soon as I restart the browser.

I'm also especially disdainful of the Catholic Church, the architecture is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to citing their many hypocrisies. Though I agree much of their art and architecture is gorgeous, how much great art have they also destroyed or boxed forever? If they hadn't caused the dark ages how much more might there be? I'm not a fan of any religions really, but when you compare Jehovas' Witnesses' meager "Kingdom Halls" to a giant, imposing Catholic equivalents decked out in stained glass with a huge "god phallus" piercing the sky... it seems pretty easy to deduce the priorities of the respective religions, to me at least. But hey, you've got individual dioceses declaring bankruptcy instead of paying judgments against them for sexual abuse of children *while* the Vatican sits on literally countless priceless objects and is the world's biggest land owner.

Only thing that annoys me is when they're also locked so they always look 'unread'.

I'm not very creative and wanted an alternate identity to maintain discreteness while traversing the escort hiring world, I initially picked the last name off an underwear ad. Changed it a bit when I realized people made assumptions based on it (like that I was Jewish, not that there's anything wrong with that). I can answer to James and kinda enjoy it during sex (touch of James Bond...), still not used to people shortening my "name" to Jim though. It does feel a touch odd with friends from the boards--have told several my real name but they see me as James and that's fine too. It's very useful when pesky, unprofessional escorts I've hired/contacted before call out of the blue to ask if I'd like a session, when somebody says "Hi James" I know it's conversation I probably don't want to have at work, for example. Or if somebody were to answer my phone for some reason on a call like that, they'd hopefully think the caller had the wrong number.

Yep, that was my first thought too. Everything in both browsers is still defaults, both browsers do it, and I did check in firefox that it's set to accept cookies. I think something is broken with the site's ability to send the initial 'remember me' cookie now, possibly because it gets distracted with demanding my location which can't complete. The site does send other cookies, for example whatever closes the tabs on the left, that does get remembered. If you go to 'my profile/account', 'my profile', then change location, can you get through it to setting a city in North America?

Just put a new drive in my laptop with a fresh install. Can't get this site to remember my login. If I close the browser and re-open I can't post, etc. until I login again. Maybe part of the bug, when I login I get something about you MUST set your geographic location, I choose North America and it fucks up. In Mozilla it goes to a blank screen and stays there, in IE it goes straight into the page I was on, never lets me specify a city and doesn't remember I set even North America next time. I hope there's a solution for this, it's *really* bloody annoying!

I loved Boston Legal and really miss it. The Good Guys is the only new hour-long comedy I've seen recently and liked. Haven't tried Dark Blue yet but have been thinking about it, I generally like cop shows. It's too bad they canceled the original Law and Order--it had just gotten good again these last couple years, also liked Life and Southland... wait, every cop show I like gets canceled, sure you want me to watch Dark Blue? Guess I'll have to try The Good Wife eventually too... Anybody else see BBC's recent Sherlock? Unfortunately only 3 episodes, but the first and third are absolutely great.

I don't watch any of the regular, weekly shows that won, but will one day get around to Breaking Bad and Mad Men. I was pretty surprised how well Temple Grandin did. She fascinates me and I liked the movie, but I really expected The Pacific to do better. Maybe they shouldn't have submitted more than one show per category. Clare Danes looked kinda... I dunno... severe? I was surprised when she first went on stage. It was almost like playing Temple used up the last of her youth and energy. I also really liked You Don't Know Jack. You know, it's true what somebody said, HBO really is an amazing thing. When I think of great American TV (certainly of the last 10+ years) it's almost always HBO: The Wire, Band of Brothers, Angels in America, And the Band Played On, Rome, Deadwood, those three shows, Treme... Since West Wing went away network TV has seemed a wasteland, especially for drama. Some good stuff on cable, but often just poorer imitations of what HBO's already done (certainly Spartacus to Rome, perhaps The Shield to The Wire...).

I'm amazed to hear this too. Though I guess it explains why more was never done to make them illegal. I've never tried directly, and dislike it when a bottom I'm with wants to use them. Hate the smell 'second hand', it seems like it would give me a blinding headache if I were to huff them. And it sure seems to me it is huffing--just as stupid as huffing spray paint. Probably exactly as bad for you, back when there were VCRs I've used real 'head cleaner' chemicals and can't imagine intentionally snorting the fumes. How they keep of the pretense that it's for cleaning VCRs when none of the stores sell videotapes anymore (and extra pure isopropyl alcohol is all you really need to clean VCR heads...) had really caused me to wonder. Lucky, or anybody else, can you describe exactly what they did/do for you?

I usually lose interest in threads that get locked long before they get locked, so it kinda annoys the OCD part of me that once they are they always look unread, even with 'mark this forum as read'. Not so bad when they fall off the page, but when they're pinned and locked...

Wow! The singing kinda reminds me of Antony and The Johnsons. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lapDPCc26ao

What? I'd remember hearing of serious A380 incidents... This doesn't count! All I've found in a quick google is a couple ground incidents, a hard landing that burst some tires, and maybe a single engine failure. (All non-events reported because of the novelty and rarity of the plane--though the ground events were in part due to it's size.) Pretty sure Emirates' first class entitles you to a 5 minute in-flight shower. But for the price of a ticket you could have a Gulfstream V to yourself or hot escort like Kristian for at least a month!

I'm afraid all politics are heading this way. Obstructionist Republican minorities keep the California legislature from accomplishing anything every day. We can only hope the Tea Party nutjobs who won so many primaries marginalize republicans further and it drops them under the threshold of relevance. When was the last time SCOTUS decided anything important on more than 5/4?

I'd say avoid all Chrysler products, certainly all Jeeps. Their quality surprisingly took a real nosedive after the 'merger of equals' with Mercedes--and they didn't have all that far to fall to begin with! Don't know how they are now, but can being owned by Fiat be a *good* sign?

Isn't saying Old Lady Gaga the same as saying Madonna? (Assuming Gaga ever acquires any talent!) Does Madonna still have her Brazilian boytoy? This video was probably an everyday scene for them!

I was surprised to manage 44.85 w/100% accuracy on my first try on my laptop's keyboard. Did have a keyboarding class long, long ago and can touch type, though not without a little concentration. It's a fun quick test, thanks for linking it!

I'd say this comes down to Apple's greed, not consumers. Consumers have shown they're willing to pay whatever and put up with whatever when it comes to the iPhone. Even if Apple sold the hardware at a loss they'd still be making a fortune in app sales plus iTunes downloads. But it doesn't seem that the thought to make slightly less money would ever occur to them for any reason. Reminds me of a Baba Wawa interview with Jobs I saw years ago, where she asked him now that he more money than his kid's kids could spend, would he be starting any philanthropic organizations (like Gates had just done at the time)? His answer was he's not done making it yet. This was before the iPhone and the Pixar/Disney deal, guess he *still* doesn't have enough.

Is that 'Prince Nick' of constant LA CL posting 'fame'? Anybody see him? When somebody is posting every 3 minutes I tend to drop 'em in my "never" file.
