Actually I do grasp irony. More importantly, I grasp overt manipulation from somebody so minimally south of the border they can be deemed to be borderline, desperately grasping to down-regulate a good 5-year reputation. By the way, if I was being ironic I would have posted to the fellow something like “you have commented on board negativity, while being among the most positive and optimistic of contributors”, so you may want to look up the meaning of terms you utilize in your incessant feeble little burn attempts. Your own cryptic post is an example of Socratic irony. Frankly, the irrelevance of it simply pulls a reasonably good thread off track. The moderators have no interest in a tangent that you initiated because you seem to want to revive a puerile little war of your own making. But it is also a sign of your trouble-making that you refer to one “R*****d” having been banned at another site (?) when he is obviously logging in, so not sure what little game you are playing at there.

Ambiguous. you yourself lack a number of attributes? you are not picky but recommendations for bottoms should consider your attributes as briefly described? so, precious not precious? At this point I think I can only second-guess what the ask is not. 😏😘

How we fail our truckers? Speak for yourself, Reader’s Digest.

How urnestly? I had to ash.

That’s a lot of stairs. 4 flights? Hope you’re OK now.

Well 75 is late elderly so she’s lucky not to have been the late elderly, prematurely, a decade too soon. Which the late elderly is ironic considering my late fancy-hat grandmother, 75 to my 13, was always ready hours ahead of us.

Rip-cord with all dressed 🍕slice.

I believe it is attributable to Groucho Marx but a version of Oscar Wilde’s, roughly the same idea.

Pummelling plumbers with plungers. (Step-, not incest)

Social media can keep you on a mind leash that, in illusory fashion, mitigates the anxiety of demotion while pleasing you to death, offering surprise and revulsion, the tantalizingly unique catharsis of anger, while obscuring sadness that might otherwise occur if dwelling on the real world. It’s beautifully progressive and horrifyingly risky, the ultimate outcome uncertain, as with any stage of continuously transitioning human evolution. Example: a platform ‘ban’ in generic terms is conceptualized as an impoverishment when regular sabbaticals might actually be best built in. Penalty or favour. That itself says volumes about the ways in which social media may be both positively facilitative and deleterious to quality of wellbeing. I don’t post on the socials but I lurk for what dovetails with the same types of needs gratification that manifested decades ago. All I know is that I can handle it. The notions of both harm reduction and abstinence surely have their place as in any other dependency phenomena, according to best individual fit. Polarization, antithetical tension in perspective, is not itself a bad thing. There should be some degree of warning and caution … whether moderate or leaning to hyperbole is not that important. Many decisions are made in the context of disagreement. Often one can extract something relatable from a point of view that SEEMS incorrect or lacking, that apparent deficit often sourced in over-personalizing or in devaluing other.

Apparently still functions according to the same playbook as ever, similar to Campus, Stock, etc. Drew above commented last year. I may swing by this summer but it will be a Mon or Tues and likely sedate, not representative. I believe partial or full wooden doors. I read on another platform that condoms are stocked in the cubicles so oral at minimum likely goes. I believe $5 to enter bar. I think currently one pays either $5 house + $5 dancer to enter the cubicles or a flat rate to the house $20. I would assume that if you go for consecutive privates thru an evening you don’t pony up $20 for access each iteration. I don’t get too worked up over such minor details and they likely change with time. I presume from there that dances are the conventional $20 per song. Years ago there were stunning dancers. AFAIK the same heyday not sustained characterizes current times. I’ll pack a few hundred bucks in case I find it worth burning through.

I’ve done Amtrak before pandemic. Bus is much faster but the train is good to catch up on streaming etc which I do almost weekly in one sitting on my recliner for a few hours anyway. And it’s not assigned seating. I would take the Adirondack over a flight, as station locations MTL and NYC are superb for me.

I’m happy to openly deconstruct how I was catfished in a different type of scam scenario with an imposter. No money, romance, or sexualization was involved. I think that everybody has the capacity to be hoodwinked if the confluence of factors lines up just so. The important thing is to acquire the ear of neutral parties so that you can re-appraise the intersection of the two roles and your own contribution. A life lesson. I think that you could be a valuable resource in debriefing with this younger chap.

Maybe if it’s real food a lower calorie range is sustainable? I don’t know much about it. I cannot link this article and I’m mostly adult lifetime 6’ 180lbs or less with relatively low cal intake but high on nutritive value, and gym attender 50+ years … I just don’t get very hungry and I eat until I’m not hungry (ie, if this remaining food were not in front of me would I seek it?), not until I feel full; the former seems to coast me through. But the article seems very interesting.

Hey now, a dude’s dream-team in-fighting? Who’d have predicted? There’s a PhD in the works for a media studies grad student based on a 2-week platform slice alone.

What in the deep-dish windy city malarky is all this?! Oh SVP …. Nobody draws a line in the sand? I’ll draw a line in the sand, for others’ ids and egos to trample over. C’est la vie. Nastiness, eating one’s own, on gay community message boards is rampant. Ever been to Queerty, Billy? A propos of the subject of social media personal comportment and online trolling phenomena, how about hostile targeted shaming-oriented outing-grade demeaning deadnaming of gay dudes the mods can barely keep up with? It’s hella whack-a-mole work. AFAIK the article underlines trends and accountability but has not explicitly recommended individual boycotting. It seems geared to advocacy messaging with a view to pushing platform showrunners to do and score better. If social media is so Beelzebub incarnate, why be all over it like a heat rash?

Yes, it was rude. Sorry. In terms of Cavill, yes yes a $1,000 times yes. Crushing on him since The Tudors (2007-10). A little cuter than the actual first Duke of Suffolk, and I would style our dear hottie Henry as 1st Dude to Sukolff. Of course, in those days, giving head of a different nature was ubiquitous.

Stock’n’Soda will be a separate regular bar adjacent to the club. Not a stripper venue. No entrance fee. It is mostly the footage that remains closed off currently, but no direct traffic from it to Stock. Just same building. Stock will be as per usual, just the version that is smaller due to the contiguous but separated area taken up by Stock’n’Soda. The VIP zone in Stock will be a small area where some of the cubicles are. That aspect remains ambiguous and its terms of reference will likely evolve in due time

Don’t get TOO excited. It’s about a USD$1.50 offset equivalency per subway ride entry. It just saves the hassle of buying at the wicket or machine and sometimes the cop scanning you in is cute. But also half price tickets movie theatres and most cultural events, and priority senior flight boarding before the predominant Econ surge, grocery store queues, etc Tall and tan and young and lovely …

At Stock I’ve always been camera shy. Sometimes the feed zooms in not intending to make you a supporting character in a sex trade environment. An older guy on his own in a stripper bar can be one of a few things: an owner/ manager, a wandering inmate from a nearby home for the aged, or a dirty old punter. The busier and more mixed, the easier to blend in. The more sustainable the venue for financial operations. A relatively small sub-clientele that buys dances can still circulate in relative obscurity. You don’t need a greenback-shade hankie in your back pocket to codify the agenda. You just need to find the target and make the moves. When it comes down do it, I don’t expect to be cokc-blokced. Imma fuss about change? Hell no. This is the new normal; get used to it. Don’t like rubbing shoulders with women of a night on the town? Make your own neighbourhood if this one doesn’t suit you. Individualistic micro-level belly-aching and boycotting is not going to break this bar. All the more for the rest of us. [BTW, just watched Barry series finale]

Glad. Never enough newbie eyerolling chuckleheads to round things out.

Not trying to be mean, A, but this is all very unclear. Streetview? Terrace? An enclosed patio far from prying eyes as we want our privacy? Or did you get a permit for a terrace along the stretch of the building right in front? Like many other Village venues but the Stock erotica component subdued where women and children, strike that, where children roam? I note that hanging out in front was always an informal thing in summer but perhaps you are adding structure and drinkie-poo profit margins. I would argue that the bustling street in front would not be particularly quiet. I realize all will be revealed.
