Where did you see Minari? I hate that they pigeonholed it as a "Foreign Language" film for the Oscars even though it's American. I thought Nomadland was a little depressing..https://www.companyofmen.org/threads/nomadland-free-from-2-19.163201/ Francis McDormand has a nice job. Be a contender for best actress in a big-budget movie by remaining absolutely stoic in all situations and showing absolutely zero emotion. Strange Hulu got the rights.

100% public nudity is not allowed in Florida but "private encounters" in a cabin with a "dancer" are legal. Go figure. Ft Lauderdale is open just fine with some masks and LeBoy, Johnson's and Boardwalk are well documented here and everywhere. What's more of an info jungle is the rest of Florida. Example Tampa Bay/St Pete/Clearwater have numerous gay bars with varying degree of strippers but little to no info. Ditto Daytona and Orlando. Key West has a big gay strip club with privates.

Tops vs Bottoms Who Gets More Business?

Indeed, @liubit and I have pretty much the same group of friends in Czech and he lived there when I first started visiting. @liubit is my Czech expert. -
A Roku stick or Fire stick is a small attachment you put on an HDMI port on your tv. (If you have a smart tv Roku, Fire or Android tv may be built in). The stick has it's own remote control to work it. In effect it's a mini-computer that receives channels over your wifi. They have apps including true HBO Max. They are cheap- $20 to $90. However, if you do not have a smart tv you really should get one asap. They are ridiculously cheap and outrageously better. 4K, HDR color, Dolby Vision, etc. I paid $100 for a 43 inch one for my quest room that has some features (like Android tv) my new $2000 living room tv doesn't have. New tv's are also extremely thin and lightweight and use very little electricity. Broadcast and cable tv are pretty much obsolete and smart tv's are today's "tv's". You'll never miss RCN or cable.

No, it's more complicated HBO on Amazon Prime's app is just HBO and you have to get an HBO Max app on something else, a Firestick, or a RoKu or a computer to also get HBO Max movies. You sign on for free to the HBO Max app with your Amazon name and password. Everything on HBO is on HBO Max but nothing vice-versa. Except- What is labeled an HBO Max app on Hulu is really just a bunch of regular HBO movies listed at random with no search feature. No HBO Max movies. 4K HD but worse than the Amazon HBO app. You can try it free for a week. All the really good new stuff is on HBO Max only like all the new-in-theater Warner movies and series like Flight Attendant. So far I have to watch all those new releases on my computer in SD as Windows is the only real HBO Max app I have. I thought Hulu would be a work-around on my tv, it's not. Ultimately, it's best to get a RoKu or Firestick that has the Max App if your tv isn't Android or RoKu TV, because HBO gives you a 20% discount for a 6-month subscription directly through them, unlike Amazon, Hulu, or a cable company and I'm tired of waiting for real HBO Max directly on Hulu or Amazon. (Maybe that's the point of this mess?). There's whole reddits on trying to figure this Max mess out. I still think HBO (Max) is the best streamer, especially with the 20% off deal.

‘Soul’ review: Pixar’s excellent jazz movie goes deeper than ever
+ tassojunior replied to samhexum's topic in Movies
We watched it on Christmas along with Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (a Black Christmas). Both excellent. Both about jazz and becoming stars (or not). -
How did your family handle nudity when you were a child?
+ tassojunior replied to + 7829V's topic in The Lounge
Do you mean extra pube, hair, and girth? Or does he attract women into pubic hair? -
If Whataburgers stayed open what are Texans complaining about? Rest of us don't even have one.

How did your family handle nudity when you were a child?

In years BAC (before air conditioning) it was normal for men to be at home in boxer shorts (the flys had snaps for that reason). Briefs fucked that up eventually. Slips were not uncommon for women but thin cotton dresses were more common. My dad would go naked around the house for a long time before taking a bath or after. Mom would only get mad if he came in the kitchen like that. Otherwise, absent daughters, it was a man's prerogative. -
Watched it and it's different. Sort of a cinema verite/documentary feel. About older poor people who prefer to live in vans. As she tells someone "I'm not homeless, just houseless". A little depressing in that the nomad lifestyle draws some away from security (like the star who refuses a wonderful option at the end). Not that any options for last days are great.

AT&T ownership has so fucked HBO. I have the same issue. A subscription gives you sign-in rights to HBO and HBO Max, but using HBO Max is a lot harder and you cannot sign into HBO Max through HBO ! I have a new LG OLED tv and AT&T made a deal with Samsung not to have an HBO Max app for WebOS that LG uses. FIOS (and RCN) do not have HBO Max apps. Android TV does have an HBO Max app so I can watch it on my cheap tv in my den native. I also have HBO through Amazon but Amazon does not have HBO Max yet, only HBO and you have to sign in through a computer to use HBO Max. I have a computer on my tv but HBO Max will not show in HD on it, only SD. I've also tried linking my HBO Max to my Hulu as Hulu is a native app on my LG, but then the HBO Max on Hulu is really weird and only has a few shows with no search. If Amazon or Hulu don't fix HBO Max. my final thing will be to get a cheap Roku stick because HBO Max is an app on it. For now I'm watching all these great new HBO Max movies in SD though through my computer tied to my tv. See if you have Android tv. If not try Hulu (free trial week of Hulu and HBO Max). If not either hope Amazon gets HBO Max or get a Roku stick. Also HBO gives a 20% discount for subscribing directly through them. I've had HBO 40 years- since the old rooftop antennas that were only for HBO and cost $30/mo. I hate to see HBO so messed up now. It's programming is still #1.

Binged it. It's good. They (too briefly) depict Heaven pretty much like it was then.

#1 contender for Best Movie of the Year will stream for free only on Hulu starting 2/19. Hulu has a free trial month now that makes it a deal for 1 month. Other shows I'd highly advise watching on Hulu during a free week are Taboo (Tom Hardy) and Harlots min-series and, of course, God's Own Country movie. All for Free. It's about a new trend of seniors selling all and going nomad for financial reasons. Francis McDermand may well get Best Actress.

Do I take legal action or do I take the difficult "high road"?
+ tassojunior replied to Smurof's topic in The Lounge
besides the other numerous caution flags, this is the flashing red one. You.Are.Gay. Believe all the kumbaya stuff you want about how cops are fine with gays at your peril. It sounds like he's well-liked by cops and you most likely will become the "target", not him. You very likely will be charged with conspiracy for even knowing of the crimes even if he's the main criminal. He may well get off scot-free for giving information on you. It's perverse how many times police let the big criminal off for giving information on underlings or aiders. And in cases involving gay men it's common to also do a "child pornography" witch hunt. That can take a year. And if you have to cut a deal on anything federal, including "conspiracy" you may be re-thinking this in federal prison for the next few years after it's "over". It's not who's good and who's bad or guilty v. innocent. It's all about who's the target and you seem like a target. He doesn't. Don't step into this quicksand -
I spent 5 summers "learning to swim" at the YMCA. Before gay awareness the belief was that unnecessarily wearing clothes around other men indicated you might be gay or pansy.

Suffocation is risky. when I tried an N95 I would pull it away from my mouth to speak, pull it away to inhale every few times, etc so it ended up being riskier. I feel for people in jobs that really need to use N95's.
-
South Africa's well into DC but double masks keep getting in my eyes and N95's are too hard to breathe in. the KN95 shape is better. i find my best is a surgical mask under a neck gaiter. two more weeks after my booster and I'm back to single surgicals even indoors in public.
