It's so depressing that Sonic Racing Transformed sold 1.36m across 6 platforms :(

This post is just...

You know what is depressing? What actually fucking happened to Alan Turing.

I know you probably didn't mean it that way, but reads like you don't care about Turing's ultimate fate. I'm just very touchy about the subject it fucking pisses me off what happened to him.

Lol, man, the fact that he's my favorite gay person might indicate that I do in fact know what happened to him. Sorry about mentioning a Sonic racing game in the same post as Alan Turing I guess :p I'd rather focus on the positive aspects of his existence to be honest.

Heh as I said I'm touchy about it, I already admired and look up to Turing before I knew he was gay, when I found out later how he died my heart sank. He should have Einstein levels of popularity yet he is mostly unknown, its really upseting.

It was a pretty crappy end, but I strongly oppose automatically summoning people's tragedies when remembering them. Especially when this guy was as awesome as he was.

Tennessee Williams and Richard Hatch. A brilliant playwright and a brilliant reality TV star. But maybe I'm biased because I love Survivor so much.

richard hatch was all kinds of hot in "not another gay movie". i will always remember him purely because of that. i've heard he is kind of a loathsome person though. is that not true?

I'll throw a second vote to Leonardo da Vinci despite my dislike of Italians.



All my favourite gay people are dead. :(



Didn't the British government harass Turing until he committed suicide?

They did harass him yes, but I read an article which said it's not clear if he committed suicide.

"Turing's death may equally probably have been an accident."

"he was known for tasting chemicals to identify them."

"Prof Copeland notes that the nightmare room had a "strong smell" of cyanide after Turing's death; that inhalation leads to a slower death than ingestion; and that the distribution of the poison in Turing's organs was more consistent with inhalation than with ingestion."

I was glad when the former prime minister apologised for his mistreatment

"Gordon Brown: I'm proud to say sorry to a real war hero"

I think in this case is completely aceptable in order to raise awareness precisely because people are not very aware of what happened, prosecuting someone for being gay is appalling and should be denounced at every opportunity, we also remember Oscar Wilde but we don't ignore how awful he was treated.

And to nominate another gay, Oscar Wilde, the guy was so freaking brilliant. Turing is still beyond special to me, Wilde was great but when you think about it most famous gay people come from art fields, literature, acting, maybe reporting, but a scientist? The fact that the freaking father of computer science was also gay is such a big thing for any gay nerd kid out there, like I was :p

On a lighter note:
moar pls.

Would it be creepy to go around there and take pictures? I really never thought about it although I do go there just to watch, which is probably creepy already.

Damn the mobile neogaf site has a bug and is showing me photos it shouldn't >_<

Luckily no one was overseeing which would be a bit embarrasing, but I need to report this bug, there's also the bandwidth issue.

Interestingly, Pet Shop Boys
look them up if you're too young
have been recording a piece of music (War of The Worlds meets Kraftwerk, if the track they performed last year is anything to go by.) in tribute to Alan Turing. Hopefully, this sort of mainstream exposure will lead to some form of pardon; what I thought was utterly disgusting was the fact that he was given female hormones instead of going to prison. It truly was the dark ages.

PSB on Turing

You would have to be like, 10 years old to not know about the Pet Shop Boys right? Or am I that old D:?

I'll look into it, thanks for the link.

Hey guys I need some help. I thought I heard a glass fall about 10 minutes ago, but couldn't find anything. Now there's a huge paint fume smell throughout the house. I'm kind scared something fucked up happened. Is it even safe to breathe in any of this gas? I literally just woke up and have to take a shower and get ready for work, but I'm scared to leave my bedroom (which hasn't been affected since the window is open).

Get out.

Call 911 or its equivalent wherever you live.

Edit: as for the fumes, try a wet towel or something over your nose as you leave.

Maybe it because I live in the UK but I've never felt Turing was ignored - certainly when doing my computer science degree lecturers were very clear that it all started with him. The treatment he suffered and his death was appalling but there was always a clear acknowledgment, even 15 years ago when I was at uni, that it was wrong and he was a once in a lifetime genius.

Plus in sci fi literature from across the world 'Turing tests' and 'Turing AI' feature heavily - his legacy around that seems assured.

Wow my dad's an asshole. So after I posted I waited outside for him. When he got here He phoned hydro and made me clean up the house with all the fumes to make it "presentable". Now he's telling me I have to get ready for work right in the middle of where the fumes are. He keeps fucking yelling at me and threatening me because I refuse to do so until this whole situation is sorted out.

I fucking hate this family.

GTA IV is awesome. Highest rated game this gen
which it deserves
and still in the top 10 xbox live activity 5 years after release. GTA V will take back the best selling game ever!!1 title from cod this September. The king is back.

Of course, you think I would allow little dicks to even have a conversation with me.

Wow, you're one of the lucky ones. One time I was at the gym with some of my friends and we were all showering together (no homo) and I saw that one of them had a small penis. I reluctantly finished showering (I was pretty dirty and I didn't want to stink my car up, otherwise I would have just left), keeping my eyes firmly ahead of me the whole time, and praying that he would stay on his side of the shower room. I cut him out of my life faster than you could shake a snake at. I still have night terrors to this day.
 

That's Josh Long right? His body hair is delicious. I've seen pictures where he trims his chest T_T. If I see a porn performer trim his chests, it ruins the scene and I just hunt for the scenes where he didn't trim.


I've posted this picture before but I really like this man. I like his body, his sturdy and has body hair, with a cute face and puppy dog eyes.
I really miss having a hairy chest to hug, my bf doesn't have hair on his chest but at least he has nice hairy forearms and a beard. Thank you porn for fulfilling a desire, wuuu!
