Nooooo your dates are way off. You think prep and undetectable just happened in 2012. It is those of us, the barebackers of the 80s and 90s, who discovered it. It took a decade for medicine to catch on

From the CDC's website confirming Prep was first approved in 2012.

Here is a link to the first study published discussing the potential that viral loads could be undetectable and not be transmitted to partners. Published 2011.

Geez, still this issue, 25 yrs later (YES prep and undetectable date back to the late 90's, not 2005). HIV is done deal, move on.

If u wanna be scared to bare then be scared of gonorrhea syphilis clamydia. So if STDs is your fear then a) don't escort or b) don't rim, don't suck, don't kiss, don't fuck (like 50% of rentmeners)

Diseases: get them, get treated, get over them

Your dates are way off. PreP was approved in 2012.  Geez, when will barebackers stop sneering at those of us who wear condoms because we care about our health and the health of our partners?? 

I am sorry this happened to you. You are going to have to report the theft to the police. It is necessary if you want to file a claim with your insurance company. You don't have to go into your "hiring" details, but will have to provide details that can help the police track him down. Like phone number and pictures. Do call your bank/credit card companies and notify them so they can check your accounts for unauthorized transactions and replace your cards.  If your computers are set up to "remote wipe" like mine are, initiate the wipe.  When you get new computers, change your login details for your accounts, in case the old credentials are saved in your browser on stolen computers. If he has your keys, you may need to change locks too since your wallet/ID probably has your address on it.  And post a link of the thief here so we know to avoid him.  Alternatively if he's been discussed here in a separate thread, leave a comment in the thread, something like "I met him. I do not recommend."  When I see that, I know something is up.  Good luck buddy!

I recently left a three-star review on RM about Robyn Ward, and since then he's lit up my text messages and my RM inbox reacting as if I'd left a one-star review and said horrible and untrue things about him.

 

I said he was an hour late (true), he hadn't been able to perform (he kept getting soft), that he must have been having a bad day, and that he seemed like a nice enough guy (I'm not so sure about that any more). I also paid him the full amount for our encounter without complaint because he needs the money more than I do.

 

He has a bunch of five-star reviews and one three-star review (mine). Yet he said he didn't want things to get ugly and that I should remove my "unfair" review. I told him he can say whatever he wants in response. He said I was a troll hiding behind a screen and that he wonders if I'd be so brave if he were in my town. I told him to look me up based on my phone number and that he can say whatever he wants about me to whomever he wants because I trust that nothing he can say will change the opinions of my family and friends about me.

 

At any rate, I now think that he falls under the don't let crazy stick their dick in you rule and that his reaction to my review serves as a much more negative review than I wrote.

I am sorry to hear about your experience. Hired him a number of times before Covid - have recommended him a few times when asked.  This included group settings too. He played well with me and in a group, always delivered and did not set off a "crazy" alarm. One of the 5 star reviews is likely mine and I stand by it, given my experience.  His rates were always super reasonable too, for what he offered.

As part of the "Our Story" we mentioned meeting through a common friend on Instagram. That is only half the story, we aren't ready to share the entire thing just yet. Truth is the 'common friend' was an escort here in Boston that I met with a bunch of times who is his ex-boyfriend of four years. They were broken up but I did follow him on Instagram and I did see a picture of him at dinner here in Boston, and I did text the escort friend who posted it and asked who he was. Jose (my other half) came over that night and never left. lol. 

I'm also not worried about giving that site out here and disclosing the location/date. Given what I do in the real world for work, I have security on lock for the events of that day. Nobody is getting near the wedding. 😎

Congratulations on being lucky in love.

BAY AREA/SAN FRANCISCO

Crime is so bad near S.F. Federal building employees are told to work from home, officials said
Megan Cassidy
Updated: Aug. 11, 2023 7:02 p.m.

Officials at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services advised hundreds of employees in San Francisco to work remotely for the foreseeable future due to public safety concerns outside the Nancy Pelosi Federal Building on Seventh Street. 

The imposing, 18-story tower on the corner of Seventh and Mission streets houses various federal agencies, including HHS, the U.S. Department of Labor, the U.S. Department of Transportation and the office of Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi. The area is also home to one of the city’s most brazen open-air drug markets, where dozens of dealers and users congregate on a daily basis. 

HHS Assistant Secretary for Administration Cheryl R. Campbell issued the stay-home recommendation in an Aug. 4 memo to regional leaders.

“In light of the conditions at the (Federal Building) we recommend employees … maximize the use of telework for the foreseeable future,” Campbell wrote in the memo, a copy of which was obtained by The Chronicle. 

“This recommendation should be extended to all Region IX employees, including those not currently utilizing telework flexibilities,” Campbell wrote, referring to the federal government zone that includes California and other Western states.

The memo came on the same day that, according to Axios, President Biden’s White House chief of staff called for more federal employees to return to their offices after years of remote work due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

It was not immediately clear whether other tenants in the building had issued similar directives. Officials with Pelosi’s office and the Department of Labor said they have been working closely with local and federal law enforcement to ensure safety for their staffers, but they have not advised employees to work from home. 

The building has long been a locus of some of the city’s most intractable problems. 

Dozens of dealers routinely plant themselves on, next to or across the street from the property, operating in shifts as users smoke, snort or shoot up their recent purchases. The property’s concrete benches are an especially popular site for users to get high, socialize or pass out. 

While Pelosi’s five-person staff was not advised to work remotely, she raised concerns about the building’s tenant safety last week in a meeting with the U.S. attorney for the northern district of California, according to officials with her office. 

“The safety of workers in our federal buildings has always been a priority for Speaker Emerita Pelosi, whether in the building or on their commutes,” Pelosi spokesperson Aaron Bennett said in a statement. 

“Federal, state and local law enforcement — in coordination with public health officials and stakeholders — are working hard to address the acute crises of fentanyl trafficking and related violence in certain areas of the city.”

Pelosi recently secured more federal law enforcement assistance in cracking down on the city’s fentanyl crisis in the Tenderloin and SoMa areas. San Francisco is one of the cities included in a federal program called Operation Overdrive, which targets drug traffickers in areas with the highest levels of drug-related violence and overdoses. 

The Speaker Nancy Pelosi Federal Building is maintained by the federal General Services Administration, and policing is handled by Federal Protective Services. 

Richard Stebbins, a public affairs officer for GSA, said the agency coordinates with San Francisco police to enhance safety outside of the building, which includes routine patrols and camera systems around the perimeter of the building. 

“The building is a safe and secure space for federal employees and the visiting public,” Stebbins said in an email to the Chronicle. “There are a number of security controls GSA employs to make sure the building is safe including Federal Protective Services officers at the building and secure checkpoints.”

Officials with the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the Federal Protective Service, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. 

But a tenant of the building familiar with recent decisions said the agency and GSA have recently implemented a number of new security measures to address safety concerns. This included pulling FPS personnel from other nearby properties for additional security, a pending vote on funds for an additional “roving” guard dedicated to the property, and creating a “BART Buddies” program that has escorts on call from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. to walk employees to and from BART. 

Evan Sernoffsky, a spokesperson for the San Francisco Police Department, said officers are working with local, state and federal partners to address the drug crisis in the Tenderloin and South of Market neighborhoods. 

“This work includes seizing an unprecedented amount of fentanyl this year while also arresting drug dealers,” he said. “The SFPD is also making arrests when people are openly using and creating a danger to themselves or others.”

Consider: she is a crime reporter.  As the expression goes: to a person with a hammer ever problem looks like a nail.

I call bullshit.  I have been to San Francisco multiple times the past year. Staying in hotels in various areas around downtown...Chinatown, Union Square, Mission District. Went outside and walked to restaurants after dark, used the subway system, jogged outside. Never ONCE did I feel unsafe. 

A bigger concern was those damn steep hills. Walking from the financial district, up hill, to the InterContinental Mark Hopkins after work is quite the workout.  Especially if you have to do it again later, after a multi course work dinner and a few bottles of wine. 

Don't believe everything you read. Go see for yourself.

I visited Villa Gianni yesterday.  First time customers should be prepared for no signage, and to know to proceed to the basement apartment via the outdoor staircase.

There were two skinny Brazilian men when I went.  I paid $160 pounds for the hour with one of them, and asked for massage and sex.  It was a mediocre experience, but I was glad to patronize the establishment to keep it in business.  I would have gone back a second time if the prices were closer to $100 pounds, but at $160 pounds it wasn't too bad if you're in London.

For comparison in London, I found a European man on RentMassuer who came to my hotel room and gave a better massage and more sensual experience for the same $160 pounds, and his session was 90 minutes instead of 60, and he wanted to be fucked bareback so I complied.  But others I found on RenMen wanted $600 pounds for a 2 hour session, so I passed on them because that is out of my price range.

I am a little confused of your use of "$160 pounds". Are you quoting dollars or pounds??

I did this afternoon. Highly recommend. Definitely more therapeutic, but had a great sensual feel. He started off with some great stretching which I loved. His body is incredible. Beautiful hairy chest, big pecs, great strong arms. Super personable but doesn’t chatter during the massage, so it was very relaxing. Super easy to communicate with (via text) and his place is super convenient. Will definitely repeat next time I’m in NYC!

Let's see.  Oh yeah.  There's a chart just for that.

 

I'll spend one long paragraph saying things that are mostly factual and clear.  Then I'll go off into the fuzzier math of Fed policy and investing crystal balls.  By the way, does anyone own an investing crystal ball that actually works?  😉

What the red line in the chart above shows, as a fact, is that it's better to invest in stocks than bonds almost all the time.  Last year of course was one of those rare periods when both sucked.  That in itself argues that after a bad year, or two, the pain tends to go away.  Certainly the pain has gone away with stocks so far this year.  To choose stocks over bonds for the long term and fuck it up, you really have to have horrible timing.  So if all you had was $1 million and you invested it all in stocks and all in the year 2000, you made a big mistake, according to the chart above.  That chart says over a 12 year period you cut your annual return by 7.5 % or so over what you would have made with bonds.  But if you just waited until 2002, and invested the same $1 million, your return would have been significantly better if you chose stocks rather than bonds.  It's clear that most of the time, investing in stocks - like an S & P index fund - is better.  And if it is one of those rare bad times, like at the peak of a stock bubble in 2000 (or, possibly the peak of a stock bubble in 2022???) what that chart above says to me is just wait a few years.  If you are instead investing $100,000 a year over ten years, and every year you choose stocks over bonds, that chart suggests in the long run it will always pay off.  Even though in a few of those years bonds may have been the better choice.  Assuming your crystal ball works better than mine.

You of course didn't ask whether to invest in stocks versus bonds.  You asked whether now is a good time to invest in bonds.  My crappy investing crystal ball says yes, for the reasons you said.  After it is done getting worse, it usually gets better.  😉   Same with stocks.    I believed the bears, like Mike Wilson and his S & P 3500 call for 2023, and sold lots of tech stocks at a small profit earlier this year.  Now I'm buying them back.  If I were doing bonds, I'd do it the same way.  Incrementally, and cautiously.

So there will probably be a premium for investing in bonds as rates start to fall.  But I agree with Kevin, that if you want to invest it helps to "have a take about how to invest in a given environment."  So there are some big variables.  If the post-GFC bull market in stocks really has ended, which I doubt, bonds will almost certainly be better.  Which is Hussman's main argument.  As that chart above suggests.  But if these fabulously rich people like Stanley Druckenmiller I cited above are correct in arguing inflation may be sticky because we have a huge fucking debt problem we refuse to deal with, that could definitely impact your 12 year return on bonds.  

Now I'll careen off into some of the verbose and (ugh!) chart- and fact-infested debates I have with my nephew.  Who mostly subscribes to the idea that the Fed and Jay Powell are incompetent.  I'd buy that idea if he blamed Greenspan, who believed in the fairy tale that capitalism always knows best and self-regulates.  Until AIG and Countrywide and much of the global economy self-regulated themselves into an abyss 15 years ago.  To me, Powell is less ideological and more pragmatic.  He tinkers.  Right now it is hard to make a case that he got the tinkering wrong.  If you agree with me, it's bullish for both stocks and bonds.  But check back with me in a few years.

If you are a masochist, here's a great idea.  Read this unending diatribe, from fund manager John Hussman, who created that chart (and many others like it) above.   His main point, to simplify, is that the Fed totally sucks.  And he makes some good points, which my kinda libertarian nephew likes.  If you can bear the misery of reading them.  Me being a shitty uncle, I did one of my annoying fact checks.  Turns out Hussman used the same theories and same charts to predict the bull market was ending in 2014.  He literally said 2014 was comparable to 1929, right before the crash.  Oops!  If you'd listened to him and bought bonds rather than stocks back then, it would have been a very bad call.

To be clear, my main intent in clubbing poor Hussman with facts is to prove just how hard it is to have a good crystal ball.  If you want an even bigger headache, look at the 10 year return on his fund, compared to the S & P 500.  I'm guessing, based on his flawed analysis, he ignored stocks and focused on bonds.  Oops!  I told my nephew of course Hussman blames the Fed.  He sure needs somebody to blame for his crappy crystal ball.  

So now that I have set up the complicated context, my nephew was arguing that maybe this decade will turn out to be one of those decades where it is better to invest in bonds rather than stocks.  My main reason for agreeing with him would be if I bought the idea that we will keep building a debt bomb that will eventually explode, kinda like the bomb that went off in 2008.  Even though that would harm the returns on bonds, it would probably hurt the returns on stocks (a secular bear market) far worse.  I'm an optimist in that I just don't think people are that stupid.  Hard as we may try.  So I think Hussman got his facts right, and his analysis totally wrong.  My nephew and I agreed that Hussman's logic works best if you are the kind of investor, like my Mom was, who just buys and holds forever.  But if the question is whether 2023 or 2024 is a good time to buy bonds, as opposed to 2025 or 2026 or the whole next decade, it's probably a good time to buy bonds.

That said, I'll close by mentioning that actions speak louder than words.  At the same time my nephew was scaring me with these doomsday arguments, and arguing maybe the 2020's are the decade of bonds, he took more risk than his uncle.  He kept buying tech stocks.  His problem now is that all the SOXL shares he bought at like $8 last October have tripled or even quadrupled.  He is praying to God the bull  market continues.  So he either doesn't sell, or at least pays capital gains at the long term rate after holding them for a year.  Three months to go.  You ain't gonna get returns like that on bonds.  Even if it turns out to be a great time to buy them.

I will admit...I am looking for an opportunity to diversify a little, more so than just a desire to acquire bonds. My portfolio is very heavy in stocks and cash.  You know what they say... diversification is the only free lunch in finance.

Regardless of the fuzzy math, the prevailing question is...now that inflation is showing real signs of getting under control and we expect the Fed to stop raising interest rates in the next 6 months...is it a good time to start buying bonds to lock in yields and perhaps benefit from the premium that will emerge in the future when rates start to drop.

The money pox epidemic came to a halt when the powers that be realized that the majority of the  population didn't care about it because it was a gay thing, and the mainstream media dropped it altogether when kids and dogs who lived with gay couples started getting it. It was a gay thing, and it never jumped into the larger straight population people assumed and hoped for.

 

The specific money pox strain that spread was not natural and it wasn't even mathematically possible for it to even spread as fast as it did. Was it spread on purpose somehow like at the pride festivals of 2022? Who knows. Such atrocities have happened before. I wouldn't put it past big pharma and my government to experiment on us deemed undesirables.

 

If you are going to spread conspiracy theories, you gotta make it good. Instead of "the powers that be" call them "the cabal". And add some historical context to make it really stick. "After all, the Jynneos vaccine is named after the magician Jannes from the historical Jewish text". 👍

In the past, he’s been part of a march larger group event and the compensation was very different. I’m settling on $500. That’s been what I’ve given him for one on one dates and hook ups. We kissed twice, he tasted awful, and we did Grindr together to get the boys over so that was fun and worth something.  Totally good to write off as an experience and I have no hard feelings towards him. It matters to me that he has no hard feelings towards me though, but that’s ultimately out of my control.

Gah. I have to go wake him now. He has been sleeping through his snooze for 3 hours.  The train leaves in an hour.  

At this point, I think that is a good plan. Get him out of your house and on the train. Not sure how coherent he will be. You may want to wait until a later time to convey your disappointment in how things turn out. Sorry your weekend didn't turn out great.

Ack!  What an awful night. An NYC stripper that I’ve had fairly good experiences with in NYC was in my general area of Long Island working a private event and hit me up on instagram asking if I wanted to hang. I had no plans so I said sure. I picked him up and he was filthy from working and had no clothes. We race to Macy’s and played dress up. He’s gorgeous so I enjoy the process. We go back to my house and he asks if I have a hookup for cocaine. I do not. 

We go to a local dive bar and he gets a little drunk. He proceeds to ask the only African American at the place that isn’t working security to find him coke. I’m mortified, and this person happens to be on a reality tv show with a substantial social media presence. He goes in on me about not getting taken advantage of by this pretty boy. That my money makes me a target the way that his fame does and guys like us are prime Pickens for these predators, and  so much more. He’s clearly irate and offended and I’m embarrassed.  Then out of nowhere he goes “hold on baby I got you.”  Comes back 8 minutes later with cocaine for my date. So bizarre. I’m wildly uncomfortable and ask to retreat back to my house. 

We get back to my house and decide we’ll throw an impromptu pool party and invite Grindr boys over. What a wreck. Apparently when you’re drunk and on cocaine you don’t have the best judgement. He gets some hot boys over and feeling out of place, I invite a regular fuck buddy that is more normal like me that I’ve met many times. 

I was wrong. He comes over and apparently has a whole other side where he loves to get black out drunk, do coke, and get gang banged. Who knew? So this is NOT my scene at all. He and stripper boy are so wasted that the other guests leave uncomfortably. I’m the opposite of a greeter at this point, apologizing and ushering hot men out my front door apologizing that they left their houses at 11:30 pm for this chaos. 

I lock myself in my bedroom and hear the two of them continuing to party. I do trust them so I wasn’t too worried of having them with unfettered access to my house. This is 1:30. I try to sleep but can’t. At 3:45 my motion cameras kick on and my fuck buddy is leaving alone. Thank god it’s over. Nope. Stripper decides to try to come into my room. He knocks and knocks so I answer. I told him his room is across the hall. He said but I wanna sleep with you and cuddle. I said I’d rather sleep alone but to make himself comfortable in his room. (He’s been here before and spent the night before when I did a group thing at my house.)

I hear him pacing around.  I assume he’s cleaning up. He was not. He tried my door again and I said I really wasn’t in the mood to cuddle but thank you. 

I woke up a bit ago to my house being messy. Nothing is damaged or irreparable, but they were messy. I cleaned everything up, and the next train home is two hours away. At this point he’s still passed out in his room and didn’t hear me stirring about.

I have never felt like a prisoner in my own home with no idea how to get myself out of the situation. I’m sure there is a lesson here but it’s too fresh to have learned.

Finally, I have no idea how to compensate this beyond: powder at $140. Dinner at $120. Macys at $180. Train ticket at $22. 

I have two hours to figure out what this experience was worth. 

Oh! Final thought. At Macys I was abundantly clear in my expectations for the night, and none of them were met. In fact, as the night progressed, he basically did the exact opposite of everything I asked for. 

Thoughts? 

So you're out 450 and didn't even get off? 😐 Bad investment, that!  I've done me fair share of cleaning up the graveyard of dead hopes the morning after.  See if you can find an opportunity to turn it around, but otherwise, let it go.  Not sure what you agreed to compensate him (same as previous time you met up, I assume?) but if I were in your shoes I would compensate him for his time, what I would think is fair and write it off as experience. I would also convey, no tip, no bonus as our evening did not go as planned. 

Now, let's talk about your fuck buddy... 😆

It’s interesting to me how the usage of certain phrases changes over time.
 

When I worked in finance (in the 20th century), the phrase meant that you had sufficient money to continue to live in the style you wanted whether you worked or not. Specifically you could say “fuck you” to your employer if something unwanted or undesirable was asked of you (as in my case, when I was up for partnership and it was suggested to me that I would afterwards help run the Chicago office).

Interesting indeed. A companion i have been seeing for 2 years, fairly regularly called me over the weekend and told me he wanted to become my live in boyfriend. He wants to quit his job, sell his house and move in with me. I was dumb struck, first because he called me (we usually text!) and secondly because he thinks I have that kind of money that can support his fairly splashy lifestyle!  My only hope is to win the Mega Millions this weekend. 

To be clear: if I had the money I'd jump at the chance!
