One of the Brazilian (Carioca) working guys whom I have known personally for several years recently told me he makes about $2500 USD (or $13000 BRL) a month on his OnlyFans account. He considers that “just okay”, but that’s more than what the top-earning garotos make in a month working 3-4 days a week at the saunas.

This temporary ban is for land and sea travelers, not air.

YES.

LMAO! You realize people have seen you before, right? Welp, you ARE tall and you ARE white. 2 out of 5 ain’t all that bad!

All that says is he is too embarrassed to be seen with you in public. Even horny straight men have sex with fat women that they don’t want people to know they’ve fucked. They’re called booty calls.

Thank the Lord.

That’s a myth. The percentages of closeted white gays in non-urban environments are just as high as they are in the black community. It’s just that they don’t get the toxic label of “DL” tagged on them. That phrase actually went out in the early 2000s, by the way.

Perhaps. Jury’s still out on The O.

Oprah is a woman who is wealthy enough to buy three Ellens, is self-made empire and has been in the game much longer than her. Oprah doesn’t have the same cunty workplace reputation as Ellen.

During that time period, there were 3 former Mr. Rio winners who mostly worked at 117. You must’ve caught them at MM on a slow or closed 117 night. (And some of us don’t think there is such a thing as “excessively muscled”, just that the others are “insufficiently muscled”!)

I thought this video looked familiar, so I sent the video to a few Cariocan friends, and they all confirmed that this is an old video from an incident on Ipanema Beach 7-9 years ago. It did not occur this weekend, and it was not about the quarantine / shut down. Thry all confirmed that the beaches in Rio (including Ipanema and Copa) are empty, other than a few people working out on the jungle gyms at the edges of the sidewalks. Here is a longer version of that exact video, posted at YouTube 7 years ago.

You’re referring to Cafe Cantente, the gay disco on Saturday nights only, which is open from 12 am - 6 am, the later the better. it’s still going on.

You’ll be received quite well as long as you don’t forget your wallet or money clip, you shower and have good breath, and you’re not a complete asshole. The above applies regardless of age, beauty, or size.

It is.

Le Sigh. Any standard book on copyright law will tell you this, as well as any lawyer worth a shit. But since this is the interwebz, and you clearly can’t concede that you’re wrong (or more bluntly, just not as informed on this topic as you’d like everyone to believe), here’s a few leads for you culled from Google: “Online photos and graphics are protected by copyright law, just like any other original work. The photographer owns the copyright in the images from the moment she creates them, unless she is working for hire with an agency or other employer. In that case, the agency or employer owns the copyright. “It’s online, so it’s free, right?” In a word – NO. Online images are protected by copyright as much as a picture hanging in an art gallery is. Photographers can now use companies like TinEye® and PicScout™to track use of online photos and determine whether someone is using their works without a license. If you are found to be using an unlicensed image on your website or in print, copyright law allows the owner to sue for monetary damages, possibly including astronomical statutory damages (if the work was registered with the U.S. Copyright Office within the appropriate statutory time frame). http://dunnerlaw.com/using-online-images-without-violating-copyright/ Fair Use Doctrine in Blogging: https://alj.artrepreneur.com/fair-blogging-bloggers-copyrighted-images/amp/ But I’m done with you here. If you want to continue to professionally ill-advise others, it’s your funeral.

But this is where you fail, and fail miserably, U.S. copyright law does not distinguish between a “professional” copyright owner and an amateur one. Any owner of an original creative work has the right to control the copying and distribution of the work (hence, the term copyright). You seem to be mixing up your intellectual property. Trademark and service mark are based on “use in commerce”. Copyright is not. A copyright violation is still a copyright violation. Now, if are you arguing that a professional or a corporate violator would most likely face more fines than an amateur, then of course! That’s deep pockets. But the roads are lined with plenty of small-dollar cases of poor amateurs having to settle copyright infringement cases (in photographic images, sound recordings, visual art, speeches), some even losing their shirts over it. If you were an IP attorney and you were advising your blogging / forum clients to accept unauthorized copyrighted images on their blogs and websites, simply because they are “small potatoes”, or “not corporate”, and alleging that they could do this free of exposure, then you’d be at minimum sanctioned, and at worst, disbarred. Now, is copyright law changing, both in the US and worldwide? Yes, but not rapidly enough to keep up with the digital times. That still does not negate the fact that the existing law is the law. And as the law stands, posting a copyrighted image on a blog or a forum on the internet is NOT considered “fair use” and amounts to unauthorized distribution, which can rise to an infringement claim. But go off, and keep telling your fans here what they want to hear.

Currently, 117 has the bigger and the better selection of muscle guys / bodybuilders / physique competitor types. However, 202 has a smaller selection of these, and some of those don’t go to 117 (I don’t know the reasons, even though I’ve asked). Many of the garotos at 117 you will not ever see at 202. If this is exclusively your type, I would avoid Meio Mundo or Lions (if they’re still open). Those are muscle-free zones.

Copyright is the right to copy — or distribute. It’s not just the right to sell or make money from the work. I’m not going to hijack this thread, but if you’re cursorily even in this field, you’re aware that the overwhelming majority of these copyright infringement claims and cases are settled before they even make it to court. However, you really might want to brush up on the latest cases involving photographic work on social media, particularly Sinclair v. Ziff Davis McGucken v. Newsweek, from just last year.

What you’re saying here is factually and legally incorrect. This is NOT “fair use” and it is valid U.S. copyright law.. Please stop speaking on and misleading readers about this issue. If you were advising clients with this advice as a licensed attorney, you would most likely face sanctions from the bar. Posting any copyrighted image, even if the image was already readily available on a public website or search engine, is not protected under the “fair use” exception of U.S, copyright law. The infringer could wind up with heavy fines or in some cases, jail time.

It’s going to really hurt for the citizens, due to the inflation (even though salaries are going to be increased). It may not affect tourists as much, depending on what the exchange rate is set for the USD / CAD / EUR. On my last trips, it was a steady 25 pesos per 1 USD. If I’m still getting around that, but things like restaurant meals almost double, then yes, that’s a sucky deal in comparison. I suspect the Cuban government and the underground market will make it something that doesn’t drive the [non-US] tourist market away. Also, for the purposes of this particular forum, costs for jineteros would be affected if universal Cuban salaries / pensions and inflation rise. As it becomes more costly to put food on the table, and Cubs pays its citizens more, and products cost more, expect hustler prices to go up, not down. Whether quality rises as well is the big question. https://amp.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/world/americas/cuba/article247526715.html

The Twitter bio for Taurus Cruising Bar (@TaurusBar) states that it is an interactive sex bar.

Yes.

This is not just a black American queen traveling group problem. This is an American traveling group problem. It’s definitely an “Ugly American” problem that deserves to be called out across the board — not just singling out black travelers, or black queens, or blacks, or queens. Too many Americans act like entitled, loud, selfish, boorish centers of the universe whenever they travel — and they tend to get much worse when they travel in groups like them. I have noticed it from Americans of all colors — and yes, it’s embarrassing to be an American abroad when this happens. Why you single out the black ones or the black queens could be because you notice them more, while letting the non-black ones off the hook for the very same or similar boorish behavior. I’m not going to go as far as to call you a bigot like some did above, but your choice of language and how you identified the offenders could have used some more thought before you posted it. You had a very great point to make that, unfortunately, will be forever lost in an inexplicable interest in describing the offenders the way you did.

And a hit dog hollers? It’s not about the actual impropriety or violation of law, but the semblance of it that prompts investigation. So, sexual or nude photos of models that *look* under 18 would easily prompt a check to see if there is proof of legal age. You see, like it or not there’s this U.S. federal law, requiring any webmaster or content provider of adult content to maintain proof of age of any model or subject in a photo of prurient nature. And it’s “holier”. One L. A moron is as a moron does.
