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. Thats 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 youd like something deleted completely.

Is it outing someone or are there ethical issues in bringing attention to who a public figure publicly follows on social media, from which reasonable inferences about their sexuality can be made?
Woo an RPG fan, pleasure to meet you. Played much Dragon Quest?
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 =)
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.
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
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.
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
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

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?
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.

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.

In and Out is god tier I refuse to listen to anyone that says Five Garbages is anywhere near them or Steak n' Fake.
In and Out is the best.
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.
Ive 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 youd want to try) and in LA and love it always.
Wendys 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 Wendys 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 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.
