  1. This could use an Onlyfan account.
  2. 10-4 Noted 10-97 STI arrived at scene
  3. Demand exited before it interred.
  4. There are a few common application errors made by minimally one-third, likely more, of applicants thus far that have stalled reinstated Brazil e-visa adjudication. Unlike some of the content here, tangential to the agenda of getting the task done, it is not mere speculation They are mostly due to lack of logic on the part of applicants and the recent document requirement revision has not reconciled these oversights. The key is to put oneself in the shoes of adjudicators assessing coherence between the regulations and how applicants organize the ask, that is, data format. Technically, there are some data components that are not required but folks are bitching about, as well as some essential components that some folks fail to think through. Some of these are alluded to in social media and one way to determine these ubiquitous mishaps is by contacting the data interface contractor and going over your data prior to formal application. Better yet, inquire about the predominance of failed input. The call centres are back up and running with often a CSR available within seconds. That said, you will obtain the needed advice if you know what questions to ask. No entity whatsoever has delineated the small-ish complete list of common mistakes, save for an American travel blogger that has come close with a 60-page document, bless him. It’s a lot easier to get it right from the get go than struggle with delays wherein one has to rely on consular staff to relay to the contractor exactly what is wrong, then to the applicant, etc, the triangulated process making clear communication complicated. Whining about the hassle will only shut down that part of the brain charged with concrete problem-solving.
  5. Judging by a lot of the obsessing here about trade rates, it’s the garotos that will bear the brunt at point of programa as outraged punters seek to compensate for 400 reais grudgingly ponied up when it amounts to an exorbitant 40 per year for the lifespan of the pass. So embarrassing to be lumped into a category so determined to uphold a tourist stereotype.
  6. Your quips seen to be getting lazier by The Hours. Thankfully, time-wasters show their colours quickly.
  7. Oh oh, now you’ve gone and done it, insinuating that Brazil travel should be on anyone’s event horizon when horned up punters might actually be better off chemically castrated, lobotomies enforced on those claiming capacity for judicious and objective risk assessment and management.
  8. Not particularly, but I have to wonder about Molly factors among some here. I just don’t know how often the idea of beauty being in the eye of the beholder needs to be repeated and that for every pan a lid fits. No, I take that back. Maybe once or twice, as it’s a solid axiom. But it gets tired when every time somebody expresses what they like somebody has to subsequently add it. It’s already embedded. If somebody were to share that they never heard of the concept that might be a different matter. Now, your comment is unique so it passes muster, may even also reach the level of an interminable loop. Reaching for communal influencer status could use some creativity and your efforts are appreciated. Perhaps it’s on me. Over a 5 year chat forum period one will naturally witness a set of ideas endlessly repeated as if the insight were Eureka-grade. In the past few minutes it’s that Brazil has higher levels of crime, loop loop loop loop, as if influence hunger masquerading as altruistic warning bells could only be satiated by the whole membership overtly capitulating to the recommendation that Brazil be severed as a desirable option.

    It took 5 years (2017-2022) for the Public Health Service (SUS) to adjust governance in such as way as to remove the stigmatizing eligibility requirement of declaring homosexual activity or commercial sex work status for PrEP access. The inflexibility may have been partly due to the associated research agenda geared to uptake surveillance of identified high risk groups. However, this inappropriately trumped rightful ‘do no harm’ ideology in terms of supporting self-determination among, for example, garotos that would have no problem identifying their behavioural risks and should have had the option to present their case in a more circumspect way, without needing to check a specific box. It was not a funding issue because engaging the target population to explore and seek PrEP had consistently fallen short. The approach had obviously fuelled the narrative regarding HIV as a gay disease as well. Also ran was loss viz ability to track the uptake ratios comparing a broader span of PrEP-seeking categories. Additionally, those outside of the restricted categories that might not have been ‘ideal’ PrEP candidates may have accessed better HIV info through the process of the PrEP-seeking itself, prevention knowledge being one of the biggest correlates of infection incidence.
  10. I thought one of the apps itself was, Clarice, if not an hommage.
  11. A plague on both houses, Montague and McDonalds!

    Some, likely at least 1 in 5, already have HIV so the question is moot. If you ask about PrEP in a binary fashion they may be pushed into a corner regarding response. If you do inquire at point of intimacy you can consider the implementation of photos depicting uptake method along with the questions. You can state that you value the idea of somebody taking PrEP (profilaxia pré-exposição do HIV) and that you are curious about which method is preferred. You may discern how much it is relatable to him. That is more open-ended. A large proportion of those at risk for infection are not taking PrEP, or started and stopped, or are not consistently adherent. General population uptake in the appended figure is low; it is inconceivable that such a small fraction are MSM with high level candidacy. Syphilis was not Sisyphus struggling up the mountain at the orgy recently described.
  13. So it’s true you run an espionage ring from your Foodland booth. Slow Whoreses, a possible Gay Olddaddy recruit standing in for agent Gary Oldman.
  14. Or the pics are a physique model Xmas shopping in Seattle at the time, you call him on it, explain your empathy around the complexity of advertising, agree to a vid chat in the app, and there is still a discrepancy between the shadowy sorta hunky looking chap in the chat and what steps off the Grab bike. Wait, can I solicit the Grab driver?
  15. What difference does it make? If simple vetting related to the examples above is not carried out suckers can always materialize. Scammers exist insofar as scammees do and the latter is a larger pool, like shooting fish in a barrel or sperm in a quivering yearning prostate. Anybody not diligently recording the relevant material and taking precautions that prevent some level of victimization, or worse, from running afoul of the law, is but naïve and has only self to blame. Of course not all risk avoidance, apart from the letdown of a desire mismatch, is guaranteed at the face-to-face stage, but preliminary red flags always show the face of the catfish artfully the one holding out the bait. Clientele also often behave as battlefield-grade belligerents that promote the very dynamics they criticize. Generally the cue prompts to bail are at your fingertips …
  16. Benefit of doubt: I assume and hope not an offensive ‘*******hawk’ reference and that I read too much into it because of the hustle theme and the repeated liberal use of “boys” (semantically not so offputting), as no place for it. Let’s say it’s innocently about the Colonel’s deep fryer and small standard deviation surrounding an age mean of 36.
  17. Or McDonald’s in riverside Robinson Mall, or Aksorn-OriginalStore, depending on kneeling prayer yield at Assumption. Been there, done them.
  18. The cathedral is across the road but you can call the hotel’s reception desk to hail their teak boat to pick you up or return to Sathorn Pier at Saphan Taksin station. One of the best midday meals I have had in the past decade. Great view. IMG_8668.mov
  19. Well, thanks, never hurts to repeat the same concept hundreds of times over in one single communication channel in case it never occurred to a lone straggler not yet grasping it. I’m not actively part of any subgroup with overlapping preferences and associated goodwill collaboration to keep the piece and keep manicured claws intact, and would never be, but I can understand the appeal and merit it contains for others.
  20. I spirited a few up the various towers I sampled at Quarter Silom, using the entrances more around the ground level parking, as I had a few separate reservations over time in slightly different selection grades. I think there are 3 room sections. I tried to sneak them out after in the same way but some of them said well good-bye and went to talk to reception staff they evidently knew anyway. So roads may be paved in a way out of your well-intentioned hands. Others hung around the grounds I assume to have an office for arranging their subsequent contracts which might actually not at all necessitate moving very far. Think universality in this game, unblocked trade and blocked trolls alike. 🤣
  21. PS: Above all else, stay out of your own way.
  22. Haha … I had 2 individually and thought it might be fun to double up subsequently. However, do check out whether they are actual mortal enemies with dynamics worthy of any cheap telenovella. Same feature as Brazil, etc. Technically, it should not run more than double the cost, but be aware that you may be selecting from a very small inventory where other customers are putting in bids so to speak and contributing to the yoke of multiple gratuity garland sashes divvied at 9:1 profit gogo:house. Also, diligently check the positive and negative battery ends for compatibility and avoiding sparks at that level. That said, only one bottom is needed no matter the group size and that slot would likely be filled by you, your slot filed by them. Parenthetically, of course, a mismatch between gogos may be the actual justification for pushing for an arrangement. 😏 Signed, BKK Bukakke-deprived. (They generally seem pretty determined to cum, whether for release or due to local performative labour customs.)
  23. Thousands, under the right circumstances, with barely bahting an eye. I found myself preaching to some of the floor captains about the same thing. They shrug. In contrast, showed specimen examples of North American stripper clubs and Brazilian brothel venues and had them panting and pawing at me, distracted from their misguided profit margin duties. Eyes wide-eyed and incredulous about the Brazilian costs in particular. This activity doubled for me in terms of getting across the message that I had no interest having them ply the mediocre subset of lineup, and had reference points for mitigating greedy deal-striking attempts, albeit amusing. The approach is certainly rigidified.
  24. This should have been a memorable meal but was about the only somewhat of a letdown over a month. Yet among the most challenging to snag a table. Mind you it was early days, jet-lagged, and my body’s regular breakfast hour. Some of the textures and notes were off for me. Bland, and the beef seemed dry and flavourless. The dessert had a fermented component that I just did not take to, tasted borderline rancid. The renovation is very attractive. I emphasize that others should not go by my impression but might want to peruse food review sites prior to committal. I averaged about one “higher end” tasting-menu per week. It’s not my usual dining format and somewhat volume overload for one sitting given my usual nutrition consumption. However, no regrets about the other choices. I usually take a glass of champagne but no wine accompaniment.
  25. How to grease the wheels in advance for one’s future shot at a hearing …
