  1. fake reviews

    Is EM still the same as TER - two or more reviews count for membership fee? If so, just like TER the reviews are largely worthless and many are fake just to dodge the fee.
  2. Incall vs. Outcall?

    All of the above one man's opinion and each to their own. If it works for you great, HOWEVER: blue - if that is all one relies upon disaster lies ahead. And ALL of the listed items will NOT guarantee "scam-proof and LE-proof yourself and avoid misadventure"
  3. Kona Blue declassified.

    That is because they are 100 percent legit
  4. Sooooo, if they had no knowledge, never saw any evidence, never recovered anything .......... why have a multi million dollar program created for reverse engineering? And characterized as a "critical need.?" Just asking. Anyone have a take? After actually reading the material that is. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24555561-aaro_dhs_kona_blue
  5. Interest Rates

    100 percent correct!! See below for last 50 years or so mortgage interests rates. Reality is that the current 7 percent is just below the 50 year average. The 2 to 3 percent was an unsustainable lunacy that contributed greatly to the soaring home prices and overall inflation. The answer of should one buy now, in my opinion, is it depends. Buying to have a primary place to live and planning to stay put for at least 5 years as opposed to renting is almost always a great idea. If the question is should you buy as an investment one guy's opinion is it is always idiotic to borrow money to invest. You are just managing the bank's portfolio for them. But as long as the rate of inflation on home prices is equal to or greater than the mortgage interest rates your are golden for buying as a primary residence. As of March the year over year increase in home values was 7.4 percent, so you are golden as we speak. Bear in mind the best way to defeat the "high" mortgage interest rates is to increase the down payment as much as possible. Lastly bear in mind as far as the buy now refinance later theory, the instant you refi you LOSE the ability to write off mortgage interest on your taxes. Oh and as far as increased property taxes, yes that sucks but you are going to pay those one way or the other because the landlord will pass them on if you rent.

  6. Kona Blue declassified.

    I particularly like this little tidbit. Bear mind these are real government documents just declassified and talks about development pf the proposal over 15 YEARS with approval of the program initially in 2008 and formally in 2012. And still the accompanying justification for "ending" the program is totally contradictory between Pentagon and Homeland Security. They STILL can't get their lies straight. Anyway a direct quote: 2. Justification for Need 2) Remote vision, remote communication, and de/re-materialization techniques to observe, communicate, retrieve data, and transfer matter across dimensional and space time barriers will undoubtedly be of an utmost interest if not a top collection priority for adversarial intelligence/security services. Countermeasures against such techniques would also be a collection priority.
  7. Lost my XO today

    Sorry for your loss, glad you have many good memories of him however.
  8. RIP Dicky Betts

    Ramble in Peace Dickey.
  9. Saw first ad today with pics labeled "Remini generated with AI" Appreciate the warning, but not happening. That is all. Other thoughts?
  10. OJ Simpson

    Was he a great football player? Yes. So were Aaron Hernandez, Rae Carruth and Ray Lewis. Killers one and all. Killers can be good at football too. Go figure. Lets be clear Simpson tormented, threatened, abused and literally beat the crap out of Nicole many times before and after their divorce, yet the supposedly biased system and cops did NOTHING to stop the behavior or help her. There was a MOUNTAIN of evidence with no other possible explanation other than he killed her and Mr. Goldman. Anyone doubting that he was a demented evil fuck should watch the interview he agreed to in support of his book "If I Did It" wherein he literally describes how he and his imaginary friend, "Charlie", killed both victims and how. Interrupted with frequent grins and laughs. That the psychopath walked free for years is chilling and a damning indictment of our "justice" system. Rest in peace? Oh hell no - may he be held to account for once. For reference, the interview in its entirety: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfM-7TERCMw
  11. Ummmm ....... I'll pass.

    LOL The background is the least of the concerns. Do you not note the subtle face differences? Subtle as in totally different. Numerous other differences.
  12. OJ Simpson

    more like burn in hell
  13. Ummmm ....... I'll pass.

    And here is a photo used as the base ...... also AI created. Now at least two layers deep in AI. Questions remain the same.
  14. Ummmm ....... I'll pass.

  15. Scary Distressing incident, please advise!

    First, very sorry you ran into this ass hat thief, glad no injuries involved. I cannot think of any thing you can do besides black listing with as detailed information as possible, including real world name, address, phone etc. Unfortunately the safe reporting law probably not much help in this case unless you want to file menacing charges which are hard to prove. LE is certainly not going to try to enforce an illegal transaction. If the ass in question has warrants, felony record while possessing weapon, weapon really was a fully automatic weapon etc. it would be too bad if LE received an anonymous tip.
  16. Ummmm ....... I'll pass.

    Yes. The pics in ad were clearly labelled as generated via AI ....... so long as you actually read the fine print label lol. Part of the reason for posting was to see what the consensus going forward is. I am certain it is not the last time someone will post AI generated pics. But I am curious if anyone knows if any ad sites - THIS one included, although ad was not here - have any policy on the matter. Like totally banned, must be labelled such, hey what's the big deal fake photos happen all the time, etc. Does everyone think it is just another form of fake pics or stolen pics, would you still try to schedule or move on? If they are clearly labelled "AI generated" is that somehow OK in the insane world we are entering? Curious about many things related. No right or wrong answer, but I would definitely pass.
  17. Simultaneously funny and disturbing

    No, Mr. Pompous you do not get to slither away that easily. Many,, many posts by you ago I challenged you to provide facts to go with your asinine accusations and you of course have failed miserably to do so. So for clarity since you accuse me of running from facts, explain and support your claims: 1. that I am the biggest hypocrite on the board, or even a hypocrite in any way 2. Show where I ever claimed to be two guys - unlike you who has been in the same damn thread! 3. Show your evidence for the assertion that I am female (I would offer to prove otherwise to you but that might be construed as assault, and you are most definitely not my type) 4. What the magic "curtain" is that you are somehow going to pull back and reveal ........... what exactly? Try to at least be coherent when attempting insults or trying to demean. And lastly, please just go back to blocking or ignoring my comments while trying to impress everyone with how you are the Savior Fairy and greatest of all time.
  18. cloudy head light lens

    Like I said - 3M - three years later still look and work great. Would take a lot of years to get up to the price of replacement assemblies when the only problem is the cover is hazy.
  19. Simultaneously funny and disturbing

    Well they say records are meant to be broken and I believe that to be the most clueless statement you have made here in all the years. Most impressive.
  20. cloudy head light lens

    I used a 3M headlight restoration kit. Used it three years ago on badly clouded covers on my pickup. Still look great as we speak. You will need a hand held power drill but other than that everything you should need is in the kit. It includes a sealant after done polishing etc. which I think makes a difference for longevity. Follow the directions and it takes a bit but very well worth it.
  21. Simultaneously funny and disturbing

    Your delusions, hallucinations and fantasy appear to get more severe as time goes on. Only one claiming almighty status is you. "Claim to be two guys?" Wow. Get help.
  22. Simultaneously funny and disturbing

    So is that a joke, or were you serious about you would assault her? Oh, in red just for you. Get help.
  23. Simultaneously funny and disturbing

    And the horse you rode in on you pompous jackass. I never said or implied YOU assaulted anyone. Simply that you made what YOU call a joke about something that is not remotely funny and that happens way too often in this world. Just admit it - it wasn't funny and move on. But no not the pompous one. I have no crew moron. And all I have done here is agree with the very valid opinion held by several others. YOU are the one that said someone did not "get" YOUR joke. You just can't stand anyone that will not bow down to your crap. Sorry, not my style. I challenge you to back up your claim that I am hypocritical of anything. Not everyone likes every opinion I have or state, nor should they. But I am consistent. And what pray tell am I trying to do other than participate in a discussion someone else started. Only you and those that kiss your ass are allowed to comment, is that it? Fat chance Mr. Pompous. Oh btw, trying to disparage two guys by calling them female - most outgrow that idiocy by 5th grade or so, and it certainly explains a lot about you.
  24. Simultaneously funny and disturbing

    -1 And apparently YOU don't get there are things that folks with ANY couth whatsoever do not make jokes about - in this case sexual assault. Let alone doubling down to insult those who point it out to you.
  25. Moves your soul.
