I misread the title of this thread as Prince of Viagra, and was like "this could be a good story!"

It's one of those "If you have to ask, you don't need to know" situations.

Mahershala Ali's character in Moonlight is Cuban, it was a pleasant surprise see an Afro-Cuban depicted on screen, a lot of people in the US seem to have no idea Afro-Caribbean people exist.

There is no way I would agree to another session without speaking my mind first, because otherwise my unspoken thoughts would distract me the entire time. But from your description, he's already demonstrated that your satisfaction is not his priority, so I don't imagine any good of having such a conversation. I would just move on. I will say I had a less than satisfactory first meeting with a guy, with him giving me a story about his performance that he later admitted was a lie when we were discussing a second meeting. I passed on meeting again because I realized that he could have made the first meeting better during the session, but choose not to, that my satisfaction was a rather distant concern for him. It seems like he no longer advertises, I assume he just washed out of the biz. There's a lot more to it than just a lil slap n' tickle.

They have always been frowned on by some, just like Crocs, Mullets, and fanny pacs, and I've had all of those at some point. But that's neither here nor there, the claim is the list was composed to support the theme of "dress to impress" which I doubt even cargo partisans would dispute that they do not.

Curious, TK as pictured or as he looks in his most recent pics? He seems to a competitive bodybuilder lately, gotten a lot bigger...

In the narrow context of the quote, I dont think this is possible. In general, I'd say you have to be more selective about whose opinion matters to you. Technology makes it possible for more people to reveal themselves to other people than ever before. There is a temporary gap in the ability to cope with this volume of exposure. But eventually social customs and expectations catch up. This has happened many times before and I certainly wouldn't bet against it happening again.

They forgot no cargo pants/shorts... And I knew no good could come of not going to Rockhard for a while...

No worries, we good!

I thought I was making a cautiously optimistic statement about the direction the site appears to be moving in, trying to give credit for the work in progress while being candid about its limited usefulness to me now.

Except he initially denied it, playing word games with the definition of "work", when he knew exactly what people were asking. So you'll have to excuse me if I don't trust anything he says, and his association with the site is a net negative for them as far as I'm concerned. As for the site, without reviews from reliable sources, it's not particularly more useful than any other ad pages. It does appear they are soliciting actual reviews now, so it looks like they are moving toward posting those.

You must have been giving off the elusive "cop" vibe.

Ron, Ron, a thousand times Ron!

I sent him a message on RM, so he'll know at least three people want to meet him in DC.

Makes sense. Wish I could take advantage.

And now he's in DC for one day with no warning. It's bad timing for me, I'm so

Let me ask you a question: are you a real person or a bot playing keyword bingo to spam the forum? The original thread you resurrected, aside from being 8 years old, is about a song, not about new year's traditions. I would say start a new thread, but I don't want to encourage you. And to be on topic, since the original video link is dead, here's a current one:

I like the way you think. I'm going to see the Star Wars film, so dinner is very simple, roasted chicken thighs and black eyed peas. I hope you get to feeling better soon!

People are leaving gag 'reviews' of the accommodations based on the idea that @WmClarke referenced, that they hold people for interrogation at this location. It's actually the "NSA Visitor Control Center", which is where non-personnel who have previously arranged to visit the site report to be admitted. Before you get to the actual gate (it's on a military base, so while the guards at the gate may be accustom to dealing with people who are in the wrong place, try to avoid that and if you do end up there, try to behave) you can turn left on Colony Seven Rd. and drive past a gas station and eventually end up at the National Cryptologic Museumm, which is fascinating, well worth the trip. The story of that building was that it was actually a motel that was open to the public and someone realized that was probably not a good idea so close to an agency that at the time wasn't even publicly acknowledged to exist, so the .gov bought it and eventually turned it into the museum.

I understand, I wouldn't attempt to say it was easy, my perspective is too skewed by decades of experience. After all, when I started using personal computers, no one had to specify the command line user interface because that was practically the only user interface.

youtube-dl is the command line tool I was talking about in my post above. One of the reasons i got frustrated with the browser plugins was how often they would break as the various websites would change their code to obscure the files I wanted. Then there would be a delay waiting for a new version. Not that that doesn't happen with the command line tool too, but it seems to get updated so quickly, when I find it's no longer working, it's because I haven't updated it, so as soon as I do, the new versions works against whatever site again.

I used to use browser plugins that made this stuff easier, but since I discovered youtube-dl, I stopped using the plugins, perhaps someone else can speak to the current state of those...

Bwaaa haa haaa, I wish I could get away with that response at work, so many opportunities. First let me implore you never , ever, pay for any software that claims to do this. I have no idea if any such software will actually work or not, but I am deeply suspicious and almost all of it seems seriously sketchy, I think it's mostly a malware delivery system. Anyway, most of the time, for static images, you can option (or right) click and a contextual menu will give you the option to save the image file. I've never tried to save an animated .gif from Twitter before, and it turns out, what I'm seeing is that it's not actually sending a .gif file, it's an .mp4 video file. I usually use Safari on macOS, which has a "Develop" menu option at Safari > Preferences > Advanced > Show Develop menu in menu bar. As it turns out, Firefox has a similar menu at Firefox > Tools > Web Developer > Inspector. So if we look at https://twitter.com/bttmjockboi/status/945894578686586880 you get a 'poster' image for the .mp4, which has the play icon on it. The actual .mp4 won't be loaded until you click on the poster image. If you use the "Network" tab in the Inspector, you can sort by the "Kind" column and manually find the .mp4 file that gets loaded after you click, in this case it's https://video.twimg.com/tweet_video/DSB-GfmVQAAgmfY.mp4 Now, having said that, I'm too lazy to scrub the list of resources for every page I want to save from, when other people have solved this problem. Since I'm on a Mac, I install MacPorts ( https://www.macports.org ) , which requires Xcode from Apple, and then install a command line tool named youtube-dl, which will scrape video from YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, and a lot more. I know it's a few steps to set up, but then it's easy to use in macOS Terminal.app. In the example above, I would just enter the command and the page URL and the tool would figure out the file to download. youtube-dl https://twitter.com/bttmjockboi/status/945894578686586880 Edit to say that if this thread follows the standard course, a newbie will pop up shortly extolling the virtues of some paid software for doing this....

Yes.
