Lucky

After I read the article I immediately uninstalled Chrome from my computer. I don't use it, but I don't like the spying stuff. Google itself spies a lot too. I think I will try to ease out of Gmail. But that GPS will be harder as I really like Google maps.

Fucking hypocrite. Liar! https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/25/us/joe-biden-crime-laws.html?action=click&module=Top Stories&pgtype=Homepage

This poll, purporting to measure levels of support for gays among diverse demographic groups, shows that younger people, particullarly women, are less supportive of gays than previously shown. Is there truly a decline? If so, not good news for Pride month at the least! https://www.desertsun.com/story/news/nation/2019/06/24/lgbtq-acceptance-millennials-decline-glaad-survey/1503758001/

So says the food columnist for the Washington Post. I liked her article because I drink a lot of Coke Zero. But, I concede that water is best. https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/food/the-case-for-diet-soda-it-gets-a-bad-rap-but-the-research-tells-a-different-story/2019/06/21/70ad3f54-92da-11e9-b570-6416efdc0803_story.html?utm_term=.bfb7281d1ae0

Days before the first Democratic debate, presidential candidate Bernie Sanders proposes forgiving all student loan debt. That's 1.6 Trillion Dollars! Now how about those students who worked their way through school rather than borrow? What do they get? And what about those who took out student loans and spent them on non-school pleasures? All forgiven? Sanders is an idiot. This proposal shows that he is a desperate idiot. https://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/ny-bernie-sanders-bill-student-debate-2020-20190624-lemhjmx6wfflvowt2dkgx62534-story.html

You live in Bangkok! Why would you need to watch animals on TV?

My preferred dates would be in December, but ANA goes up to $642 for those dates.

For $431, you get the cheapest fare, but the trip takes 27 hours! For $5 more, you cut that to 19 1/2 hours! Splurge and get a ticket for an 18 hour trip, but pay $2165. If these fares are for basic economy, plan to sit in a middle seat for that lengthy trip. The cheapest airlines listed I have not heard of, but ANA is $498. Oz, how much room do you have for guests who accept this invitation of yours?

In today's New York Times, a lengthy look at the deaths in Santo Domingo: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/23/us/dominican-republic-tourist-deaths.html?action=click&module=News&pgtype=Homepage

Oh I can't wait to read "My lunch with Rock Hard." Coming soon!

Yes, Oz, you should make a trip across the country, stopping in cities with Boytoy members who want to see you. Forty or fifty of those should make you long for a return to Thailand! How many guys did you bring with you?

There's a fascinating article in today's Washington Post about a police detective/pastor who gave wrenching sermons explaining his hatred of gays. It's just a reminder that for all of the progress we have made, there is much left to do. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/06/14/they-are-worthy-death-cop-preached-that-government-should-execute-lgbtq-people/?utm_term=.6dde84b17990

If I could drive downtown Palm Springs, or even go by tuk-tuk, and see a Jupiter show for all of $15, including drink, I wouldn't hesitate! I might hang around and meet some Oz rejects!

Wow. A thread on Boytoy where some guys are claiming the right to tell other guys who they can hook up with. Shades of bigotry and ageism. Legally able to consent means just that. So long as consent is present by someone over 18, the rest is not up to posters here.

Good advice for ajay1, and any new travelers to Rio. Maybe we could just pin this thread so all newcomers would have easy access to the information.

ajay1, you have a lot to contribute! We need new points of view to keep the conversations going!

Ajay, welcome to the forums!

Photos by way of illustrating only...no throne game! Notice how I didn't violate the rule about nudity in an open forum!

The young guys, over 18, of course, grind away despite reports that they are having less sex than we did. With so many choices on Grindr I can see why they might just give up and whack off. But does Grindr work well in China? I have never used it, but if Chinese guys like it, well, maybe. Then, again...

Is it true that a new fad is catching on with the young male set...over 18, of course. The way I hear it is that these guys sit on the throne-well, the toilet, and use Facebook Live to show themselves masturbating. They compete against willing guys who do the same, with the prize going to the guy who comes first. So far distance contests have been hard to arrange. Anyone else hear about this?

I didn't know that a Chinese company owned Grindr lock, stock, and barrel! Now there's concern that China could learn a lot about US Government employees who use it. Military personnel do too, so is it a problem? Read on: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/may/18/grindr-us-security-china-new-cold-war At least it's not chopsticks!

I doubt that Trump is the adult in the room, but he is not as crazy as Bolton. Sadly, I do follow Bolton's crazier ideas and find him truly scary. Bolton wants war, there should be no mistake about that.

Luckyboys turned me away too. I thought it was a cinch that they would hire me to dance, what with my name and all but they said to wait. Someday they would open Luckygrandpas!

It was the best I could do. Your mileage may vary!
