That the whole thing is relative is the reason I asked. I've seen lots of comments on sites that say, "slow downloads." I've read many of those comments, but was wondering if the community at large had a feeling about what constituted "slow downloads." Hence my asking. Onyx, it really doesn't matter what I'm downloading, slow is slow. It's a little less frustrating with a couple hundred MB, but still frustrating. If you're doing DLs at 50% speed and have x files you want to download, the time is still doubled to download all x. Granted, a really fast, efficient connection takes out the "ARGHH" factor when downloading 4K or VR porn. "A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself." | |

This thread kind of went awry. I should have asked "Do people consider any speed less than 100% 'slow?'" I don't consider a site slow until I get less than 50% speed. "A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself." | |

In review after review by PU members I see the complaint "slow downloads." I've had my share of troubles with this issue, and am curious what other people consider slow downloads. My standard DL is 2.5 MB/sec. If I get less than 1 MB/sec, I consider it "slow." "A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself." | |

Onyx, you're right about the turnover of new technology and new companies rising to the top. But there is a serious problem with consolidating market share to fewer and fewer powerful companies over the past 15 or 20 years. I agree that net neutrality advocates are a little hysterical about the issue, but when asked about "fast lanes" v "slow lanes" and censoring content, all four major ISPs declined to answer. The convergence of these two factors is troubling. If it was easy for a new ISP to arise, then people could take their business elsewhere. But when only four major ISPs control the market, and competitors face high hurdles to enter the market, it is troubling.

Asking how much porn a person watches isn't going to give you a good insight into how they deal with the issues of sex, addiction, and personal relationships. 110 minutes a week sounds like a lot, but is about 15 minutes a day over 7 days. That's really not much time to devote to any hobby. "A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself." | |

I've almost always paid for whatever I signed up for, regardless of whether the site failed to deliver or not. When it comes to credit, there really is no good option to do otherwise. Complain to your bank, and they rarely accept your argument, and often couch it in terms that make it seem like they're saying, "You were buying porn, what did you expect?" Like the nature of the product gives people the right to rip you off? That's a dangerous idea. Pre-checked cross sales are a nuisance and a scourge on the industry, similar to the video game trend of selling content that should be in the regular game as DLC. Whatever a company thinks will get them an easy buck. And CC companies are largely complicit in this. "A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself." | |

It wasn't a jury trial. The defendant waived her right to a jury trial and was tried and sentenced by the judge. And to be complete, "Depraved indifference to human life" is not illegal. Only if your actions cause a death and your motivation is deprave indifference to human life would that be manslaughter. Misanthropes rejoice!

I tend to write all my pros, cons, and the body of my review before giving it a numerical score. As I look through the site and what I've written, I'll have a decent idea about what I score I want to give. All site reviews should take into consideration certain immutable factors, like design, ease of use, technical quality, and the quality of the content. The genre issue is not so big a deal to me. I think that reviews for a site are largely to compare it to other sites within the its niche. I try to gear my score to other sites I've seen in the niche, to give my impression. I try to list why I have that impression. To use your example, a solo model site can easily outperform a major network with a hundred more models and a thousand times the content. Does the solo model post updates every day, do requests, do live events, have a blog, post candid shots? That's the kind of extras that set solo sites out in my mind. Networks may have more content and models, but exceptional solo sites are hard to do. They require a lot of time to photograph, edit, and post content. Then there's maintaining the website. Comparing a solo model site negatively to a network is a little unfair. In my opinion, grading within the niche tends to balance those factors. No one seriously expects a solo model site to outdo a network for variety or amount of content. But if the solo model works her butt off to provide great content, bonus features, and extras, isn't that more deserving of a high rating than a network who just routinely churns out good material?

Child pornography laws do not actually have to have any minors in the material in question. The offending material only has to show someone who "looks" underage in the eyes of the district attorney for charges to be filed. Furthermore, child pornography is one of several issues where privacy protections do not apply. Others include imminent harm and child or elder abuse.

When I write a review, which I do occasionally, I generally have a range in mind when I start. I don't give the score initially. I write the pro's and con's, then give as detailed a review as I can. I usually have the site open and look around as I write. I look at a few downloads too. After I'm done writing, I compare my impressions after writing the review to the range I had estimated. The very last thing I do is give a numerical score for the site. Part of scoring for me is comparing how well the site compares with other sites that share the same niche. Part is how good the technical aspects of the website and photo/video quality is. Part is how satisfied with the site I am. There's a little guideline PU provides for reviewers to base scoring on, but pegging a number within those guidelines can be the hardest part of a review. But usually the final number is very close to my initial gut feeling, but I do modify it as I rack up the pro's, con's, and body of the review.

"They Live" is universal. The message--that the lot of man is to produce, obey, and serve complacently--is the same throughout history. It was as true in the time of the Pharaohs and the Ancient Greeks as it is today. The rich and the powerful rule, the rest are ruled. It's why the Golden Rule is "He who has the gold, makes the rules." It's always been true, and will always be true.

Laws don't protect you. Absolutely no one has to obey the law. There are just ramifications if laws are broken. That's how civil society works. Government surveillance is accountable in that there are laws that exist, ramifications for breaking those laws, and that people can elect representatives to change laws should we so choose. Tech companies are totally unaccountable. Very little they do is regulated by law. And there is absolutely no way for the people to hold the tech companies accountable.

Laws in general are little protection. No one is obligated to obey the law. There are just ramifications if you break them. That's how civil society works. But at least there are laws about how government can surveil you. There are consequences if they are broken. Tech companies have no such restraint. I live in Silicon Valley, and a lot of my friends work in the tech industry. They are all concerned about government surveillance, but don't care at all about giving tech companies a thousand times more information than the government collects.

Your cell phone already tracks everywhere you go. But I am not obligated to carry one. I am obligated to carry a driver's licence. It is odd that you're more worried about the government being able to track you than a private company. The government has accountability in the form of laws, regulations, and political change. Private companies have no accountability whatsoever. "A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself." | |

Sorry Messmer, I don't have an encryption program I can recommend for Windows 10. So epic failure on that part. I'm also sorry you lost your porn stash. I replaced computers a few years ago. My external HD with 4 TB of porn was overwritten due to an error made by my roommate in setting it up. He was a hardware guy too. He just made a bonehead error. It's taken years to replace it. Personally, most of the people I know are aware I collect porn. If something they find shocks them, that's their problem. I'll be blissfully unaware as I'll be dead. It obviously troubles you though. It has caused some anxiety, and I sympathize. My major issues with porn aren't about if someone knows I look at it. It's more the ethical and moral issues like the exploitation of young women, damage to the social fabric, and most importantly to me, porn's affect on my interactions with women.

The federal REAL ID Act of 2005 has caused a lot of states, including our state of California, to need to redesign Driver's Licences. They require a Enhanced Driver's License, which has California looking into compliance with a RFID chip. Only Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Vermont, and Washington are currently issuing EDLs. People without EDLs will be unable to fly commercially, enter Federal Buildings, or enter military bases as of January 22, 2018, but extensions are available. But by October 1, 2020, no one without a REAL ID EDL will be able to fly or enter federal facilities. The law was passed in 2005, so it isn't a Trump issue. It was a reaction to the 9/11 attacks. It is troubling that by 2020, the feds can track you through your EDL. You don't need to have an EDL to drive, vote, get federal benefits, get health care, or participate in police or court activities. You can still use your regular driver's licence to enter Western Hemisphere countries. You will need one to fly or enter federal buildings that require an ID. I don't plan on upgrading my current driver's license to an EDL if I can avoid it. Being barred from flying is a great excuse never to have to travel and visit people I don't want to. But likely I will be forced to upgrade when I renew my license. "A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself." Edited on May 20, 2017, 10:30am | |

I never understood the appeal of a shaved pussy. I think it's because when I was a kid, a peek of full bush in Playboy or Penthouse was the height of feminine beauty. Then sometime in the 90s women went all in for the razor. I still love the natural look. The bushier the better.

Captain America is my second favorite Superhero after The Batman, so "Captain America: Civil War" was a must see. I saw it Monday with a couple of friends and we liked it a lot. It was close to the graphic novel, but had alterations to make it conform to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I like Chris Evans and the job he does with Cap. The Captain America movies are, after Iron Man I, Avengers I, and Guardians of the Galaxy, the best of the Marvel movies. And I really like Robert Downey Junior and the job he does as Tony Stark, but Evans makes Cap a more compelling guy. Civil War was about friends fighting over deeply held principles, and I thought it was mostly well done. "A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself." | |

I have to put my support for Michael Keaton as the best Batman ever. It was a very surprising casting choice, and he did a fantastic job. Christian Bale was pretty good too. I have a friend who won't accept any other Batman than Adam West. But everyone knows Adam West is the mayor of Quohogg (the town in "Family Guy"). We joke about it sometimes.

Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" had an epic battle between a 70+ year old Batman and Superman, and from my investigation, it was a major source for "Dawn of Justice." Yeah, Superman is an incredibly powerful hero due to his Kryptonian heritage, and The Batman is just a very smart, well-trained human being, but they have faced off many times in the comics, and The Batman usually can take him due to his incredible planning and array of gadgets (he's also not afraid to use kryptonite to nullify Kal-El's powers). The Batman FTW! I will definitely see "Dawn of Justice" in the theater either opening night (with a ton of other comics junkies), or the first weekend.

I really like the look of short hair on a girl, it's a real turn-on for me. Too many girls in porn just have long, straight hair and they kind of meld together, no matter how beautiful they are. A case in point: At ATK Hairy a while back, a model with a buzz cut (Riley Nixon) did a few really nice sets and vids, and a lot of her comments were in the vein of "pretty girl, too bad about her hair." Her buzz cut really made this pretty girl stand out, and I collected everything I could of her. I agree with pat362 in that not every girl looks good with short hair, it's largely a matter of framing her face with an attractive hairstyle. I think there may be some fear of being seen as too "butch" or maybe not being appealing to the majority of porn consumers. A real shame there aren't more women in porn with short hair.

Thanks for the input, I'll check those out. I've been a member of DDF Network and In the Crack before, and loved their content, but have never tried the 21sextury network before. I went back and looked over some of my In the Crack collection, and it had some really good panytless stuff. I just didn't download much in my time there.

Not only do I edit the sets for content, I edit them for size, framing, perspective, and occasionally, gape. But this makes certain assumptions about the set. There have to be enough pictures with specific types of poses, and they have to be good pics, and then there is the question of the skill of the photography to begin with. There is no use editing crappy sets, as all you'll have is crappy edited sets. Whoopie. But I always keep the original sets intact too. I sometimes want to do a different edit...

Good call. They did do remasters of the first two seasons. They redid the intro and jazzed up the special effects some. But the first two seasons really were all about the characters, not the special effects. AND it reminds me of a favorite quote to use as a signature. Thanks.

Red Dwarf was the most successful BBC2 series of all time. It ran 8 seasons. It also had a special 3 episode 9th season. A 10th season is in production. The show is fantastic. The first two seasons have the best writing, but are weak on the special effects, but the later episodes have better effects as the show became more popular and the production budget was increased. I too recommend it highly. "A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself." | |

It is a lesson to not go off half-cocked before making accusations in public. I am ashamed of myself. I should know better.

I apologize. I blew it. I failed to check vthelpcenter site itself before posting my complaint on PU. I didn't get a return email, but I should have tried following up myself before making unfounded accusations. You have been most considerate and kind in your handling of this situation with me and I appreciate your professionalism and the fact that despite everything, you still gave me a free one month's membership. Vivthomas.com is a classy site, and the people in customer service deserved better than what I did. I'm sorry.
