  1. I'm not tech enough for crude VPN's but Newegg sells AVG's VPN for $10/yr for 5 machines and it's incredibly simple to use. My Czech friends can use my Netflix which automatically reroutes via VPN set to Europe to Netflix Europe with a choice of Czech subtitles or dubs, which are not available in the US. A big benefit is you escape US copyright rules so many seasons of shows that cost in the US are free and you can watch seasons that haven't even been shown in the US yet. A quirk is because of cookies, for a while you'll get ads from the country you were set to on everything.
  2. Yea, I don't think pre-independence rules matter and I doubt the law is going to get clarified by November, but it will enable Republicans to argue that Kamala is more Indian than black and use that to temper enthusiasm for her in the turnout. Of course the US is 1% Indian now and they are also a powerful force in most states (not just as Biden says, that they run every single 7-11). But my gut feeling is that blacks are not going to turn out for Kamala any better than they did for Hillary. And as much glowing publicity as Kamala version I, II and III was pushed by her hubby's media and the party central committee, she was a miserable flop with voters time after time. Whether they hate Trump more now than in 2016 is another matter, but I have my doubts there too. Ultimately, like 2016, this election is going to devolve into which of two detestable sides is detested the most and with the most enthusiasm to get out and vote against. Unfortunately, the Trump crowd still has a huge edge in enthusiasm against the other side, and that matters a lot in results. Biden should carry his home state of Pennsylvania so the election may well come down to Michigan and Michigan comes down to McComb County and I don't see Kamala having even slim support there. Ultimately the crazy Wong decision from 1898 needs to be revisited. (Trump has threatened to by executive action). Hopefully we'll get a reasonable rule like other western countries have where a child of foreigners born here can get naturalization automatically at a certain age. The present birth tourism and anchor babies game is ridiculous and often deadly for the anchor babies.
  3. Even the densest Republicans are sure to eventually stumble on Kamala's dubious birthplace citizenship, at least as far as the presidency. Neither of her parents were US citizens when she was born in the US and there's growing consensus among legal scholars that the birthplace citizenship test of the 1898 Wong case is just legal baloney made up by a poor court and stupid policy. It's absurd in a day of easy international transit and birthplace tourism. Before 1898 that was not US law and it's a very feeble case with no reasoning. Plus the constitution requires the president to be a natural born citizen subject to the full jurisdiction of the US, which children born here of foreigners are not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthright_citizenship_in_the_United_States
  4. The difference is neither putting the blame on the sex worker or the customer but putting it (severely) on the type of internet sites where such contacts may be made, or promoted, or even discussed. I don't think there's another 1st-world country that still thinks that way about the internet. American moral crusaders, left, right, and in between, are weird.
  5. Kamala is one of the leaders of the odd "American moral crusader model". She claims she wants to protect sex workers by closing down all internet sites, like Backpage, Craigslist, Rentboy, etc where even one minor might get in. The theory is that the only way to protect minors and those abused in trade is to shut down all internet sites dealing with sex and put the worst punishment on the internet site owner. It's the opposite of any Nordic European model.
  6. You do realize as the co-author of SESTA/FOSTA Kamala wants to put you in prison for life for running this site just as she personally did the owners of Backpage? SESTA to take away the neutral party/ free speech protections of section 230 of the Communications Act was her first accomplishment after entering the Senate. She's the most vengeful person going after sites that have anything to do with escorts or even sex. https://www.mercurynews.com/2016/12/23/kamala-harris-slaps-new-charges-on-backpage-in-a-case-that-threatens-tech-sector/ . She's an Indian Anita Bryant on steroids. She tried to execute a (black) man she knew was innocent to help her political career, and did execute plenty of others she could have waived execution on. https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/08/01/democratic-debate-kamala-harris-tulsi-gabbard-joe-biden-fact-check/ . But when it came time to prosecute Republican Steve Mnuchin for illegally taking 1 million Californians' homes, she stepped in and refused to prosecute. Her very respected black father has denounced her as a racist. When's the last time a president's father has denounced them as evil? Politically, even though the corporate owners of the Democratic Party (and the US) decided 2 years ago that Kamala was to be the next president and even though her hubby is the lawyer for CNN, Facebook, etc with all the gloating publicity that brings, voters showed in primary after primary, especially in black areas, that they wanted nothing to do with her. That's why they maneuvered Biden in as a placeholder candidate to get her in. In debates she's a harsh attacker but she has a "glass jaw"; when anyone attacks back or even questions her she goes silent. She's poison at the ballot box in the swing states and after a couple weeks that will start showing in polls as the Dems drop fast with her. When she gets in as president she'll cause a tsunami against Dems in 2022 and in 2024 will lose miserably to fellow Indian-American Nikki Haley whose just as Trumpist right-wing as anyone. Kamala could well be the end of the Democratic Party. But morally the next big decision for the US will be whether to attack Iran and Kamala's promised AIPAC to get the ovens fired up for 20 million that Trump is too much of a pussy to do. America's gone so very far right wing in the past couple decades that both political parties are unrecognizable anymore and it's impossible to pin which is more to the "right". I forget; was Goebbels or Hitler the more right wing? Who was the better speaker with more charisma and seemed more progressive? That's all that matters, right?
  7. A huge Fuck You again to the half of Democratic voters who are Bernie supporters. "Go Away". (We will). The Democratic Party is now firmly in the grips of AIPAC, Wall Street and the ultra-right wing Neo-Liberals who are thirsty for the blood of 20 million Iranians. Anyone who'd pulled a lever for Kamala to exterminate 20 million Iranians would have pulled a lever for Hitler. America needs to get out of the business of mass genocide of non-whites. They may be a different color but they are humans.
  8. Does this also apply to showing Twitter Tweets? They can be pretty XXX. I assume it's better just to provide a clickable link to such tweets and that it's ok to do so for other porn? And nudity is ok so long as no arousal shown?
  9. damn. Well at least if the US new case total keeps going down 20% per 14 days that gives hope for a month or 6 weeks from now. Unless they just allow anyone in with a test which seems to be the trend now.
  10. More good news on how well the free instant tests at German airports is going:
  11. tassojunior replied to Riobard's topic in The Beer Bar
    Ordinarily I'd assume it was for the publicity but a broken back is rough. But still, lots of publicity.
  12. I've only been to the Arizona memorial once but when we went we seemed to be the only non-Japanese in about 200 people. You know the majority of tourists to Hawaii are always Japanese and almost half the population of Hawaii is Japanese-American. I googled and the site intentionally does not keep records of the nationality of visitors and tour guides there have said about half are Japanese tourists. WW2 is viewed differently by the Japanese tourists as is Pearl Harbor and it's a little weird being at the Arizona memorial with them. https://www.nytimes.com/1985/12/07/world/for-most-japanese-pearl-harbor-is-just-a-footnote.html#:~:text=George%20Hogan%2C%20a%20tour%20guide,nation's%20ambivalence%20about%20the%20war.
  13. Now Germany has started free immediate tests at airports and the US at 15per100k is well below the 50per100k for the next update anyway. ESTA is working again and the US is obligated to be reciprocal. Germany: Mandatory coronavirus testing at airports off to smooth start https://p.dw.com/p/3gfjZ
  14. Tony Conrad is getting pretty aggressive advertising. Here's his latest Twitter post. Too XX to embed here. Tony Conrad Twitter
  15. There's also a possibility of viral load differences mattering both for illness and maybe even immunity. And tests are ultra unreliable still.
  16. Ever notice that 99% of the visitors to see the sunken Arizona at Pearl Harbor are Japanese ? Also "different". DC Admirals' celebration of the bombing with special cake trucked in from St. Louis. Copies of the cake were sold all over the US. A new two-piece swimsuit was named after Bikini Atoll.

  17. Yea but "our guys" aren't in the herd. If anyone is going to catch it they are.They often are in the most, most, most susceptible crowd for contagion. ( excepting my absolutely perfect Bel Ami friends of course).
  18. Weber always went to the Iowa Boy's State High School Wresting championships to get his beefy models.
  19. Bruce Weber would do it better.
  20. He is in Down almost every night all night. Usually in the middle of the bar hustling drinks. Sometimes they have him do a strip show on stage. He acts like a famous movie star and drinks a lot. He still looks ok, just older, and his body still is still very fit. An aged prima dona escort.
  21. UW now forecasting 300,000 dead by Dec 1. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-usa/university-of-washington-forecasts-300000-u-s-covid-19-deaths-idUSKCN2521VR In fairness, Europe has re-opened all schools and very, very young children don't seem to catch or spread the virus much. Class size is lower in Europe. /https://www.axios.com/europe-lessons-reopening-schools-b713801e-26d6-4ba1-bb9e-c0b0b5809a11.html
  22. Germany has found dogs can easily be trained to sniff out Covid infections: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-07-24/dogs-can-sniff-out-coronavirus-infections-german-study-shows
  23. The Brits seem to have solved the problem with a 90-minute test box smaller than a shoebox. Same guy who invented the DNA nutrition test box. The National Health Service is putting them in hospitals, airports, etc. quickly. A lot to be said for having a national health service. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-08-06/how-a-dna-test-machine-mutated-to-find-covid-in-90-minutes https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-53632043
