    The Ask Kuriin, A Gay Man, Anything Thread

    Well, it is more prevalent in our culture Kuriin. 5 minutes in any club in Castro or WeHo can tell you that. Supposedly, the most 'agreed supposedly' theory about homosexuality is that it happens in the womb, some parts of the brain are developed differently during the expression of the...

    Well, I called yesterday and they said they would cancel the service cancellation; they partly lied of course, today I wake up and have internet, but NO phone, they disconnected it. And I use the landline for work. Fucking TWC is such a piece of shit

    So... I already got my cape like 8 months ago, but I'm wondering now, who the fuck cares about getting a 600 level cape when WoD will probably have some 600+ by level 92 or something What's the whole point?

    Fucking Time Warner is such a piece of shit. I put in a move request, for October the 3rd. Everything fine and dandy. Today I called because I'm going to need some digital adapters, and they say "Oh, but you are getting your service disconnected tomorrow for the move" and I'm like "WTF...

    Why not? I thought Japan looks the 'other' way when it comes to dual citizenship. I looked on Wiki (haha) "A renunciation of foreign citizenship made before Japanese officials may be considered by a foreign state as having no legal effect as is the case with, for example, United States...

    I've done it twice, first from Venezuela to Canada and then to the US where I am now. From Venezuela to Canada I got a permanent resident card (maple leaf) from my background in engineering and english/francais skills; after 3 years in Canada I got my Canadian citizenship. I was then offered...

    Oh God, where do I begin. The whole Gaza thing has nothing to do with my gayness, so no comment there; however, Muslims/Islam 'teachings' on homosexuality just pisses me off. I haven't met ONE single Muslim who's 'ok' with someone being gay. I went to an international school and when the...

    Terrible advice? I didn't say to put it as your only thing, I said be honest, if you're into games put those too; You rather find a girl that lets you play games (or joins you) given that it IS a part of your life, or a girl who realizes you play games and gives you hell for it?

    Programming Bootcamps

    Why Java as a first language? It's sort of 'difficult' self-taught. I've been programming Java for years, recently (a year ago) I picked up a Ruby book; boy, what a difference in language Ruby is, so simple to understand, something as simple as '1..3 do' as a loop construct, mixins and just...

    Why? You're already paying them with your monthly service. Think of broadband and internet access as a street or a highway; every year you pay your car registration which is based on make/model. The DMV doesn't charge you 'extra' because you drove more than others. In this example, with 'net...

    I was going to say something akin to this. In your example, of 'gayness' in culture all around you, it's because you don't notice the 'not-gay' culture around you, which is of course much much more prevalent, TV evolves all the time, for example, 'I love lucy' had no gay characters (unheard...

    Sorry for not answering, I was out on vacation. I don't think you 'hate' gays or are a homophobe, and the reason you find flamboyant gays who wear thongs at pride so disgusting is because IT IS tacky. However, to each its own, they DON'T affect me in anyway or form so I just ignore them...

    Why would I find hetero 'culture' distasteful? In fact, why would I generalize? I'm no gay 'queenie' who's flamboyant (and it's fine for those who are) I'm a geeky nerd who also plays some sports and if I don't tell you I'm gay you wouldn't know. I'm as 'regular' as it could be. So don't...

    Correct. HPV, just like HIV has different strains, HPV has dozens of strains, warts in your hands is one, skin is another, face/neck another, penis another, anus is another; and they're linked to cancers, I have a higher chance of getting anal cancer from the HPV strain.

    Yes. Gonorrhea can live in the throat and be asymptomatic (Gonorrhea Symptoms in the Mouth STD Panels Center) it really sucks because when you're blowing someone you don't really want to be tasting latex. Pretty much, I was raised in South America, in a very Catholic setting (Think Opus Dei)...

    Don't worry; when you're in your teens you are a horny fuck, for gay teenagers with access to things like grindr (think tindr but more of 'who's close that want to fuck now') you can get access to sex really, really easily; everytime I show my friends grindr they are AMAZED how fast I can setup...
