Hide and seek - Aug 2025 trip to Thailand with niece
floridarob replied to vinapu's topic in Gay Thailand
I just bought that book a couple of minutes ago, weird coincidence đł It's about Conrad Hilton and how he started....it's for a friend that's a manager of a a big hotel, super interesting, especially if you're in that industry. -
If marriage isn't in the air, maybe you guys could go to couples therapy?

Trip Report (So Far): IguazĂș Falls + Curitiba & Porto Alegre
floridarob replied to floridarob's topic in Gay Brazil
People try to compare other places in Brasil to SP & Rio. These other places can be easier on the wallet and good for a change of scenery, but still have what we're ultimately looking for. -
Have the gold digging Russian brides (is that considered mineral mining?) fallen out of fashion, or is that in a different chart đ§

Still traveling through South America (Iâm in Rio now, review on that coming later), but wanted to share some notes on the places Iâve already hit: IguazĂș Falls đđŽ The Falls: Did the Argentina side only â miles of trails, tons of spray, and every bit as breathtaking as expected. Where I Stayed: Stayed in Foz do Iguaçu (Brazil) which was an easy base. Extra Adventure: Crossed into Ciudad del Este, Paraguay for a night of drinking â no passport stamps needed for a quick visit. Gritty but a fun little side trip. Tip: Wear good shoes and be ready to get wet â itâs part of the experience. Curitiba đ§đ· City Vibe: Clean, organized, with a European feel. Lots of green space and felt pretty safe.... I'd come back here again. Gay Nightlife: Club 773 Sauna â Younger/rougher crowd, good cruising. Best nights: Tuesday, Friday, Sunday. OpiniĂŁo Sauna â One of the oldest in Brazil, has a solid following and still delivers. Best nights: Wednesday, Saturday. Porto Alegre đ§đ· City Vibe: Southern flavor, kind of a blend between Brazilian and Argentine influences. Gay Nightlife: Sauna Lux â Old-school setup, but surprisingly lively. Met a cutie there who was new to the sauna scene and⊠letâs just say he was enthusiastic. đ Wrap-Up (So Far) âïž IguazĂș = jaw-dropping nature + easy three-country hopping. Curitiba = saunas with clearly defined âhot nights.â Porto Alegre = Sauna Lux was good Now in Rio de Janeiro, which Iâll cover separately once Iâve got more time, too many hot guys with big dicks, not enough time đ€·ââïž 2025-09-09 13.09.16.mp4

Up load with a new photo, took me several tries, frustrating. Also had this issue with visas from other countries, when I was in Laos for an emergency passport and got my picture taken at a passport photo place, I also bought the digital file and haven't had any problems anywhere with this image. Maybe go to a passport photo place and do the same?

I call BS on anyone making claims out of thin air, without backing up such claims. đ§

This is a straight forward point of view, saw this online: BREAKING: Journalist and college professor Stacey Patton goes viral by penning a stunningly powerful statement about how she was on Charlie Kirkâs âdigital hit listâ and recounting the horror that he inflicted on her. We cannot allow this tragic assassination to whitewash Kirkâs legacy⊠âI am on Charlie Kirkâs hit list,â Patton wrote to her 215,000 followers on Facebook. âHis so-called âProfessor Watchlist,â run under the umbrella of Turning Point USA, is nothing more than a digital hit list for academics who dare to speak truth to power. I landed there in 2024 after writing commentary that inflamed the MAGA faithful. And once my name went up, the harassment machine roared to life.â âFor weeks my inbox and voicemail were deluged. Mostly white men spat venom through the phone: âbitch,â âc*nt,â ân****r.â They threatened all manner of violence,â she continued. âThey overwhelmed the universityâs PR lines and the presidentâs office with calls demanding that I be fired,â Patton wrote. âThe flood was so relentless that the head of campus security reached out to offer me an escort, because they feared one of these keyboard soldiers might step out of his basement and come do me harm.â âAnd I am not unique,â she added. âKirkâs Watchlist has terrorized legions of professors across this country. Women, Black faculty, queer scholars, basically anyone who challenged white supremacy, gun culture, or Christian nationalism suddenly found themselves targets of coordinated abuse,â Patton wrote. âSome received death threats. Some had their jobs threatened. Some left academia entirely. Kirk sent the loud message to us: speak the truth and we will unleash the mob!â she continued. âThat is the culture of violence Charlie Kirk built. He normalized violence. He curated it, monetized it, and sicced it on anyone who dared to puncture his movementâs lies,â she wrote. âAnd now, in the wake of his shooting, thereâs all this national outpouring of mourning, moments of silence, yellow prayer hands, and tributes painting him as a civil debater,â Patton continued. âBut the truth is that Kirk and his foot soldiers spent years terrorizing educators, trying to silence us with harassment and fear!â âAnd now the same violence he unleashed on others has come full circle.â âBut what i find especially jarring is the dissonance in public mourning for a smug white man whose life work was actively hostile to certain groups,â she continued. âKirk spent years demonizing LGBTQ people, mocking gun survivors, spewing racism about Black folks, and pushing policies that literally shorten lives.â âIt is so revolting to watch a bipartisan wave of grief sweep over this hateful racist as if he was a neutral community servant,â she concluded. This is pure unvarnished truth from Patton. Charlie Kirk did not deserve what happened to him, but nor did his victims deserve the hell that he unleashed on them. If Americans are going to build a more peaceful future for ourselves we must condemn political violence while also condemning the hateful, bigoted rhetoric that made Kirk a multimillionaire.

Fair enough â but since youâre disagreeing with both sets of numbers, why donât you share the data youâre relying on? The BJS and FBI are the most widely cited sources we have, and they donât come anywhere close to 50â75%. If youâve got something better, letâs see it â otherwise, it feels like weâre just playing mental masturbation đ€·ââïž

You want me to âbe specific and substantiate my claimsâ? Cute. Itâs almost like you slept through the last 4 years.... or are you trying to play, and be like @Olddaddy? Undermining elections: Trump pressured Georgiaâs Secretary of State to âfind 11,780 votesâ, pushed fake electors, and tried to strong-arm Pence into tossing out certified results. Thatâs not democracy â thatâs an attempted coup. Stripping rights: He rolled back LGBTQ protections (trans military ban, healthcare), chipped away at voting rights through DOJ positions and gerrymander-friendly courts, and stacked the deck against reproductive rights. Packing courts: Sure, presidents nominate judges â but Trump and McConnell rammed through lifetime appointments at record speed, including judges rated unqualified by the ABA, after stonewalling Obamaâs nominees (remember Garland?). Thatâs not normal, itâs stacking the judiciary for minority rule. the 2nd Amendment as a âfirewall against tyranny,â?? When Trump literally tried to overthrow an election, all those âpatriotsâ with their arsenals didnât fight tyranny â they enabled it.

repeating âthe Second Amendment is a firewall against tyranny,â but where are all the self-proclaimed patriots with AR-15s now that a would-be strongman is openly trying to undermine elections, pack the courts, and strip away rights? the U.S. government seems on the road to tyranny, yet the Second Amendment crowd is doing a whole lot of posting and not much resisting. Also, your numbers are way off: drug-related gun homicides are a tiny fraction (under 10%), not the 50â75% you claimed. And while yes, suicides are a big share of gun deaths, access to firearms makes those attempts far deadlier. Thatâs why the U.S. suicide-by-gun rate is sky-high compared to countries like Japan, even if their overall suicide rate is higher. Meanwhile, the U.K. â âtyrannicalâ by your definition â has a gun homicide rate nearly 50 times lower than the U.S. So maybe the real misrepresentation is pretending gun saturation equals liberty, when in practice itâs just meant more dead Americans đ§

Will you go to a restaurant if you can't see the menu before-hand?

No suspects, no trail⊠just like clockwork. Almost as if pushing too close to the Epstein files comes with a silencer of its own. Putin would be proud of the lesson learned. Poetic, if nothing else.
