Hey, thread. I'm LGBT and new to posting on NeoGAF.

This is off-topic, but I couldn't figure it out or find a place to ask it: how do you delete posts? A delete option doesn't appear when I go to edit them.
Hello new person, what type/s of lgbt are you?

You can delete the text when editing and put in a placeholder character or say "please disregard" or something!

Have any of you ever gotten into a physical fight with your lover, SO, partner, husband, wife, friends with benefits, etc?
Never been in a physical fight but my boyfriend had an ex that would get physical and police were called

You can only edit posts. That’s typically what people do if they change their mind on something being public.

You can private message a mod listed on the Staff link on the home page if you’d like something deleted completely.

Are you talking about Scaramucci following Rupaul and LogoTv on Twitter?

I have conflicted feelings on the subject when it comes to public figures. In general I think it's a horrible thing to do, coming out is a very important part of one's development for me and having it forcibly taken from you is a horrible feeling.

He's also following at least one Helix (as in the gay porn company) actor...

And if it's readily available to the public there isn't that much of an ethical issue in disclosing it. It sucks for the person if they didn't realise that it was accessible to the public but I don't think it is fair to put all of the responsibility on the public.

Partial credit, it was gay porn actors Blake Mitchell and Paul Canon both saying that he follows them and provided screenshots. Though he is following a lot of accounts (167.5K).

EDIT: As Berzeli said. But there is some complexity to it if someone doesn't know they made something public. If someone accidentally leaves their webcam on and broadcasts themselves doing something private, it isn't right to watch that.

I don't believe in the outing of anyone no matter even if they cause political harm and are hypocrites since it is using their sexuality as a weapon.

Good morning, afternoon, evening, night, or 5'oclock somewhere. Hope you all are doing well =)

The only thing you can do when this sort of shit happens is to learn how to handle that sort of shitty talk from people, as the world has shown that it's full of folk like this. It can only make you stronger than them, and the bigger person knowing that their type of rejection talk won't faze you.

Then you'll meet better people who will listen to you.

Well its was family saying those things, which I have pretty much shrugged off now for the most part. I mean, I do enjoy proving people wrong and its hilarious when I do so. Like good ol Gibbs proved a point. I've met some good, quality people but no one that completes me. I often worry I won't.

I swear I want to be by your side and give you the biggest hug, I know that feeling.

the best part is that not only you are amazing on the inside, also on the outside, you are such a lucky man. keep being amazing.

The thing is, people tell me my problem is that I am too nice and caring. I don't see how that is a problem, but whatever. Maybe I just need to be a bitter jerk. Though I'll hug you anytime <3

Did the interview this morning. I feel everything went smoothly so I'll be finding out next week if they want to move the process forward with me.

Fantastic news Brawly. I'm hoping you get it. Wishing you the best! =)

Welcome to the forum! I use to warn people that Vazra would lick them but now i'm the threat. I'm a hugger.

No and if I did they wouldn't be my SO for much longer.

Nope... I don't get violent, and I wouldn't hit my S/O, If they would hit me, they are gone, no questions ask.

Just because they disclose something by accident doesn't make it inherently unfair to publicise. I don't think it is wise to have a blanket response to incidents like this, and each individual case should be judged on merits of what the public has the right to know vis-à-vis the individual's right to privacy.

Twitter is a public forum. A reasonable right to privacy does not exist there for public figures if they use it in an official capacity for public communication. Scaramucci has done so, that he wasn't aware of the consequences of doing so is not on the public.

Yet again, I don't think a blanket response is a good way to go. Like, I'm definitely for the outing of political figures who use their position of power to make life worse for LGBT people (especially if they do it for their own political gain). They are already weaponizing their, and our, sexuality.

I feel the same way. If he defended that shitty transgender ban this week then I couldn't care less what gets revealed about him.

Went to Disneyland Paris with the BF. Had been wanting to go for ages, costs way too much but I really love theme parks so it was worth it :D

Cute couple! Hopefully you both had a wonder day!

Thanks :) We spent two days there, stayed at one of the hotel. Noticed they had a fancy cocktail bar and thought "Oh great let's go there tonight" but then we realized a drink was like 15 euros so we just went to another place and got some slightly less overpriced beers instead.

Everything at Disney parks is stupid expensive. (but the rides and everything else is amazing!)

Oh nice! I don't know much about euors so I take it thats expensive? Atleast you had a good time!

I've been to Universal Studios here in the states and it wasn't that expensive but there were somethings that wow.

An Euro is worth about 1,20 dollars (bit less maybe). For comparison a pint of beer in my town costs about 3-3,5 euros. A good cocktail costs about 7 euros so it was at least twice as expensive at Disney.

I mean I was expecting it, it's a very popular tourist place, things aren't going to be cheap just like when you go to a town popular with tourists like Rome or Paris, still paying 15 euros for a drink is bit much for me right now :p

I’m all for outing someone who uses their public position to promote anti-LGBT+ policy or rhetoric. Scaramucci included.

My neighbor returned finally with his family. They came up today to pack up, clean, and move him out. It's been a long morning so far and honestly, it's been a bad day in a sense.

- Went over around 9am to check out the house and make sure the basement didn't leak due to the heavy rains from last night. It had leaked earlier in the week.

- Basement took on water and I began to get it cleaned up, plug in fans, start grabbing towels. It was worse today than its ever been.

- Family told me to avoid it, they'll handle it. I decided against it due to mold and other possible issues. If I am running a house, I will handle it the way I would.

- They arrived, his granddaughter gave me a huge hug, my neighbor hugged me, and his daughter was NOT happy with me at all. She didn't wave to me, and she has ignored me so far today when we cross paths. I got a text message to stop over and I did, and apparently it was by mistake and she was pissed I was even in the house again. My neighbor baked me a cake and he was thrilled to give it to me.

- They are doing a yardsale and wanted a news paper contacted to put an ad in. I told her that an ad will not appear until atleast Monday at the earliest depending if the sunday paper is already in print. I went ahead and put it out on social media, craigslist and such like I usually do for the community here.

Like I don't know what I did to anger her and it hurts because I put my heart and soul into taking care of the house since May, pulling weeds, mowing(saved them from hiring a contractor to mow and thats insanely expensive), feeding the cat everyday, cleaning its litter, and making it look incredible for their return, and to help them with the smaller things to save time since they'll be selling the home. I didn't ask for anything nor do I want anything. Just say hi, give me a smile.

Things got interesting when they requested that my parents and myself join them for dinner this evening. It's gonna be awkward. Like if she is that angry at me and doesn't want me around, why have me there you know?

An Euro is worth about 1,20 dollars (bit less maybe). For comparison a pint of beer in my town costs about 3-3,5 euros. A good cocktail costs about 7 euros so it was at least twice as expensive at Disney.

Oh wow thats insane. You're paying for the novelty of it I guess at Disney. They know people will easily pay it, just like a sporting event and such. I remember a bottle water being $5 at the Washington Nationals game. That was outrageous. When things are insanely expensive, naturally you go and find something cheaper.
 
I am not absolutely against outing like in really bad situations but there would be other ways like arguing against the law itself. And how it is that it would help can be unclear. They would be replaced by someone just as bad?

What do people ask me for advice and then do the opposite of what I tell them to do? Bah

Because people are stupid. Help them and they will do the opposite and then cry and bitch because the advice you gave was so much better than there common sense they used.

Hey, welcome to this thread and gaf.

Tell me more about this 'cruising' &#128110;
 
I've been talking to a guy I might go out with, and he just told me he doesn't like In n Out. Kinda just wanna tell him right now that I don't trust him anymore.

So annoying because I feel like I wasted 2 hours of my life. I bet this relationship doesn't last

Exactly. I mean you were a good person to help but there comes a point where everything you've done as in helping and talking was for nothing. I'm sorry, I've dealt with the exact same thing.

I'm from the east coast and I loved in n out. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life

Trust your instincts

I honestly wouldn’t want to date someone who wouldn’t enjoy hanging out at In N Out with me when I’m on the West coast. I love burgers and that’s a tasty burger.

Five Guys is very tasty but I prefer In N Out over that even. Also In N Out has lower prices somehow and they try harder on the atmosphere.

I have both. I'd choose In and Out Burger.

Damn, wish we had them here in the midwest. Probably the best burger within my price range is Wendys, FG is expensive as fuck.

Also steak and shake is only good for chilli and cheese fries

I hate Steak and Shake. They are totally unremarkable.

I’ve had In N Out in Las Vegas (honestly that city is casual burger chain Mecca - it has the burgers that are nationally famous from the east and west that you’d want to try) and in LA and love it always.

Wendy’s is surprisingly good. They assemble their burgers more similarly to In N Out and other fast casual burger chains than they do to the typical fast food competition. So Wendy’s gets a stamp of approval from me.
 
Burger talk!

I had an 'extra hot' Nando's chicken hummus burger, peri-peri salt chips and vanilla Coke for lunch.

"Grilled chicken breast [basted in peri-peri sauce], tabbouli & quinoa salad, red peppers & creamy hummus in a Portuguese roll"

I would say it is the best thing ever but it is second best compared to the mushroom hummus burger they discontinued, those twits. It was a big field mushroom, not a crappy veggie burger.

But it is expensive. The burger, large chips and drink come to $22.xx aud which is like 75 minutes of minimum wage work for reference.

I will eat literally anything* that has mushrooms on and/or in it. I wish Wendy's had a triple mushroom and swiss :/ that'd give me horrible heartburn but idc

Hardees' mushroom swiss is kinda awful

Jesus Christ, I remember our local five guys being ridiculously expensive. For the family to eat there it was like ALMOST a hundred atleast

(minimum wage here is 9$)

I'll say, that looks gross to me :/

I'm sorry to hear that.

Another reason mayo is the wrong choice in the upcoming Mayo vs Ketchup splatfest. If it was garlic aioli vs ketchup though...

I know it's pedantic but garlic aioli is just mayo with lemon and garlic in it.

And the name is dumb, the real aioli is a garlic and oil emulsion, I don't know why americans decided naming lemon mayo aioli.
