I pretty much agree with your post, but I’d like to point out that there’s a simpler explanation for your Tumi example, rather than facial recognition: location tracking, which is also pernicious and much more ubiquitous thanks to the tracking devices we all carry on our person.

Unlike most of the country, South Florida has a bright line beyond which it cannot develop. It’s called the Everglades and it’s the reason that Ft Laud is now building UP. The lack of property for development will very much help support the market there, which has a supply shortage. Prices might be inflated, but the days of a huge, cyclical crash are nowhere to be seen. Insurance increases are certainly a real issue. But please note that home owners are protected from large increases in their property taxes. A 3% max increase for your primary residence has been state law for decades. So no one is getting priced out of their home due to tax increases from increasing valuations.

Yes. If you go, be prepared to scratch your head. The audience will laugh at every line that’s uttered because the Kiki character has been built up over the years, so it’s one giant in-joke. Also, Kiki’s voice is… unpolished (I’m being kind). Don’t go for the singing.

One of my favorite shows. Conventional wisdom is that it’s impossible to get right because of the supposedly flawed book. Yet this is the third time in 10 years when the “perfect” production has been mounted, if you believe the buzz.

If you’re going to tattoo 1991 on your body, people will naturally assume you’re 32 rather than the stated 26. Not that it matters much. He looks amazing.

I haven’t seen the new season. Why is that cringe?

Sounds amazing. I miss the days of having true foie gras on the menu. It’s pretty rare to see, even in high end places. And of course NYC is trying to ban it completely.

I’ve gotten into cooking sous vide and ran across a suggestion that foie gras is sometimes done by this method in restaurants because it can completely alleviate the problem of ending up with a pan of fat and almost no liver. Of course, no browning.

@Vin_Marcowhich begs the question, what does it open up for? Love?

Agreed. That leads us to the main point of this recent news. Not that there’s a new antibiotic, but that there’s a new model for antibiotic development. The development wasn’t funded by a single, for-profit pharmaceutical company. From the NYTimes: ”Pharmaceutical companies have largely abandoned antibiotic development as unprofitable. The development of zoliflodacin represents a new model: G.A.R.D.P., which is funded by many Group of 20 countries and the European Union, developed the drug in collaboration with an American pharmaceutical company called Innoviva Specialty Therapeutics.”

His name is Vinny, he’s Italian and he says “wise guy” in reference to himself twice in his profile. What a strange way to market oneself. Maybe he doesn’t realize the implication?

Why is that strange? Many tops prefer similar sized or smaller bottoms. Just because a provider is getting paid doesn’t mean he can’t have preferences. Of course, he’ll end up with fewer clients, but he seems to be ok with that, given that he’s actively turning down business.

To everyone who has trouble with acronyms: LMGTFY. 🤣🤣🤣

So hot. Why is there no drooling emoji reaction on this site? 🤤

After you put in the escort’s name hit done, then the red button. Hitting return just clears the field. That’s true no matter how you access the site.

New York Jacks NYJACKS.COM We are a group of New York City men who enjoy masturbating / Jacking Off together.

Has anyone been recently? Since people have gotten over their fear of Covid, the sex party scene seems to be very active but more so in the outer boroughs. I’m wondering if this particular party is still going strong.

I simply keep a separate, dedicated account for any cases where I need to directly link an account to an app. That way if it’s ever compromised the damage is mitigated by the relatively low balance that I maintain there. It may be a hassle to have one more account to fund, but you can’t put a price on peace of mind.

Everyone here is well meaning, even if we give opposite advice. Please let us know how it turns out.

This thread seems to focus mostly on quality of life issues it causes. Let me tell you something, there are two NYC’s. Those who have rent stabilization or subsidized housing and those who pay market rate. Those who pay market rate are paying based on constricted supply because of the large number of places that aren’t market rate. AirBnB lets people run mini-hotels without regulation and in the process further lessens the housing supply of this city. If you can’t afford to legally rent a place here, then you can’t afford to visit. Tourists should not be getting (illegal) cheaper places to stay at the cost of further restricting our housing supply.

Taking the easiest course of action is not always the right thing to do. But in this case it seems like a no-brainer. Pay him off. Not because he is right but because you deserve to have peace in your life. It’s not a guarantee that it will make it go away but there’s a pretty good chance it will work. I give you this advice as someone who recently had 6k stolen from me. My lawyer assures me I could get that money back, plus attorney fees as well. All it will cost me is my emotional heath and a couple of years of my life. I’m walking away. Take the easy route, not the I’m-right-and-he’s-victimizing-me route.

I didn’t get hugged much growing up, but…. When I moved to NYC my parents came to visit. There were French doors separating the living room and bedroom in my apartment, but they had been removed. My father noticed the holes in the double wide doorframe where the standing-bondage anchor points had been. “Why are those holes there?” Oh, uhhhhh… that’s where the plant hangers used to be. He gave me one of those looks. My Dad’s a smart guy. He knew. And said nothing. Not THAT’S showing your son some love.

Thisvid.com specializes in amateur video, as xtube did. It’s definitely quite different from xvideo, pornhub, xhamster and the like.

Let’s really get this conversation going. Who’s opposed to the Oxford comma? Tell us now so that we know who to block!
