One wonders what kind of "party" included these sketchy characters with long rap sheets on the guest list.

Did you try emailing the site? Some time back, I had a similar issue in that I waited a good 6 weeks with nothing. The tracking showed it stalled at the point of departure in France. I got a prompt response, the package arrived a week later, and they put something free in my account for next time. I think the international shipment delays really are beyond their control, and between Covid disruptions and holiday shipping volumes, it's not surprising that things are stalled. Frustrating, I know, but I think your merch will arrive in time.

The people of Switzerland only. They are very different, politically and culturally, and a referendum in Switzerland does not reflect "the people" of anywhere else, whatever the results of the referendum.

Actually, excellent advice on all social media, which thrives on, and is exploited for, its ability create conflict

I found this interesting, a succinct description of the anti-vax lunacy engendered by hostile actors on electronic and social media (and yes, I realize it makes me something of a conspiracy theorist myself, but I do believe this is largely driven by forces seeking to undermine the stability of Western democracies. And it's working brilliantly!). As these things go, there is an acronym, CONSPIR Contradictory Overriding suspicion Nefarious Intent Something Must Be Wrong Persecuted Victim Immune to Evidence Re-interpreting Randomness You can download a PDF to hand out at Thanksgiving to all your anti-vaxer relations.

Many who have died from COVID, and those many others with extended debilitating, and as yet poorly understood, symptoms ("Long COVID") had no identified "health issues."

You might want to let doctors, nurses, indeed all medical personnel know that. They'll be interested in your learned theories, I'm sure.

Link please

This is a direct result of a concerted campaign by hostile actors to undermine Western democracies via disinformation campaigns via electronic and social media. It's stunningly effective, to the delight of autocrats everywhere who find "government by the people" to be an inconvenience.

Pre-lockdown, GSA parties were held in Brooklyn monthly for ... decades. Host recently emailed to say he wasn't yet comfortable re-starting, for everyone's safety, but hopefully they'll be back. DM me for contact if you want to get on the list.

Ditto my third Pfizer. Pfizer II was sick for a day, but now, 6 months later, only a sore arm. And the confidence I'm just that much more protected.

Also had this problem, seems to have been resolved by the site as of this morning

Re JFF and VPNs, I use VPN and as I recall a pop-up came up from JFF site that said, in effect, 'why are you using a VPN.' I replied simply 'privacy.' It was then allowed and I haven't had a problem since.

Have you tried running the numbers using the GoodRx discount? That is, skipping insurance/Medicare altogether and just paying the discount pharmacy price? I know it's complicated factoring in the lost credit toward deductibles and so forth, but a number of big retailers offer a monthly price of ~$45 for Truvada (but not Descovy apparently). Might be worth a look. https://www.goodrx.com/truvada

Not a doctor, but I think FORENSIC blood analysis can detect the presence of medications, but routine blood testing would not show any such detail.

I'm skeptical about this whole episode. OF management knows very well what their product is and who their customers are. It's ridiculous to think they didn't expect a major backlash from their creator and client base. And the underlying issues around selling porn are not resolved. Whatever they are. I think the founders and VC funders of the site are looking for a giant payout by selling to a media conglomerate, as has been enjoyed by many successful platform creators, even when the platform itself then went to hell. (Tumblr anyone?) If this wasn't just a publicity stunt, I expect OF will "tame" the content in small gradual increments rather than all at once, but I do believe the anything-goes days will be receding.

Some others: https://4my.fans https://www.clips4sale.com/ https://fancentro.com/ https://ismyguy.com/ https://www.manyvids.com/ Some are PPV, not quite the same format. Doubtless there are and will be many more, although much smaller in scope than OF and JFF.

Keep in mind that for those with commercial insurance (not Medicare or any other gvt program) prescribed brand-name Descovy (and probably Truvada, even though that is now usually filled with a generic), the manufacturer's program waives the copay when filled at a retail pharmacy. My $75 copay is waived every month, I pay nothing OOP for PreP. https://www.gileadadvancingaccess.com/copay-coupon-card

OnlyFans is based in the UK. JustForFans seems to be based in Florida, USA.

Just For Fans has long had a notice to customers of the site, specifically that if you claim a chargeback through a card issuer rather than contacting the site directly, they'll ban you as a customer, for exactly this reason.

Mike is highly prolific on his fans platforms, full-length (20-40 min) videos every week, often with more than one scene partner. I have to think any "residence" in NYC factors in a number of "shooting days" along with escort meets, massage dates, and who knows what else. He does come off as a bit of an "EverReady Bunny," but also seems professional, well-organized and well-liked. He probably has a limited number of slots available in each category and when they're reliably filled, he's fully booked in that category. All touring providers travel to work, I doubt days off are a part of the plan when visiting an expensive city. R&R happens at home, which I believe for MG is San Diego.

Eau de Musk of Man, available on selected Providers near you, will always be my goto
