more comment (re: porn scene script)
you captured, no pun intended, the feeling for me of nonconsensual bondage, for a moment he was frightened, and I felt that

been at condo for a while :-) and until Sunday!
Condo! I love this place!! I'm so thankful that K allows me to maintain this condo for our continued use!!! I hope to host K and many other fellas here After the Vaccine!!!!
When I got here I stretched and foam rolled, after easily finding free parking for the weekend -- the best part of COVID-19 is that nobody else is coming downtown for the holidays LOL. There was that one time that parking was literally impossible on NYE ... Been warming up my butt and testing some new tech configurations (monitoring the fans on K's laptop, hard wiring some equipment to the new router).
I have a new favorite porn star and I'm watching him in multiple videos on multiple screens (Zak Bishop). Turns out I've had one of his videos on my hard drive for 4 years but now I'm suddenly really digging on him. It helps that he's in videos with some of my other favorite stars, wow, wowowowow :o)
Gay Porn is the best part of capitalism, heh. But I'd give it up for socialism. What would socialist porn look like? If PBS did porn ... hopefully they'd put me in charge of it, Minister of Porn.

What role should porn play in a socialist society? LOL, I'm not sure I want to write this essay right now. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe later after I'm more intoxicated, heh.

listening to porn
Usually the porn is muted and I'm listening to music. But tonight I've been listening to the porn. Yeah, I make sounds during sex also. We should all make sounds during sex also. Some of my Twitter bros were retweeting a tweet today about how subs need to learn how to scream, but masters can scream also,
That's something I love about Sir Ben, he roars when he cums,
Long ago I was dating a guy named Chuck, and I really liked him, but he wanted monogamy, while I was on a vector toward polyamory and relationship anarchy, and the only problem with our sex was his silence. You gotta make noise! Scream, roar, moan, or break into song,

something I learned yesterday
Porn directors make 5x what porn stars make.
post-retirement career ...
or, I could organize a porn star labor union ;-) we have nothing to lose but our orgasms!
yeah, just took sleeping pill, because otherwise sleep is not

nobody is special, LOL
Even professional porn stars complain about guys canceling hookups, so I shouldn't get so mad about it when they cancel on me, LOL.
porn star love
Until recently, he was a porn star. He's decided to switch to producing music, like they do. He's got 15,000 followers on Twitter. I'm one of them. He follows 60 people. I'm one of them. When I message him, he messages me back. Apparently I'm his type. Older white hairy fit smart.
It's these little bits of online life that make it all worthwhile, that we sneak in these connections with people. Like my favorite author I text with on the weekends. The one who wrote and published a novella based on my idea.
And now my Portland boy, Matt from Reddit.
Of course, I love those of you who continue to read my LJ after 20 years. 20 years!
I'm grateful for these small injections of online love, and I am careful to guard them, from the algorithms.
OK, back to the butt toys -- this night is so young, yay :-) Taking a break from NaNoWriMo so I can cater to my butt until 2am. There will be napping tomorrow afternoon!

Tentative Diagnosis
After tinkering with T's old laptop for a couple days, I've got a tentative diagnosis of what's wrong with it. It started misbehaving after a water accident -- a cat knocked water onto it. It looks like the spill damaged all the temperature sensors on the logic board, aka motherboard -- none of these sensors are returning temperature data. All the other temperature sensors inside the laptop are working. Without this logic board temperature data, the OS presumes that the logic board is overheating, and uses software interrupts to drastically slow down the CPU, making it unusable.
This is similar to what happened when the fan inside my own laptop broke, But the fan inside T's old laptop is fine. T's laptop isn't overheating, but without working temperature sensors, the laptop assumes it is overheating.
I spent a lot of time trying to defeat these software interrupts, and I succeeded, but there are still hardware interrupts that continue to slow down the CPU, because even the logic board's hardware cannot tell its temperature. These hardware interrupts aren't as bad as the software interrupts, but they slow down the CPU by somewhere around 85%. A 5-year-old laptop that is operating so slowly isn't worth anything to anybody.
I can open the laptop case and take a look and clean it up, but it probably won't help. If it doesn't help, then the laptop needs a new logic board. This would cost at least a few hundred bucks, when you can buy a working used MacBook Pro of the same model for not much more than that.
I might, as a hobby, try installing a new logic board myself. I was surprisingly good at replacing the fan in my own 5-year-old MacBook Pro, and now it is working much better. With the tools I bought for that fix, and the experience I gained (same model laptop), I could potentially install a new logic board. I could even upgrade the RAM along the way, heh.

Back when T's laptop was first acting up, I wanted to try diagnosing the problem for him, but he didn't want to give up control over his laptop and he had a lot of files that he needed to backup. He just wanted a working laptop ASAP, so we got him a new one -- the old one was 5 years old -- most people would just get a new one. I asked him if I could have the old one after he transferred all his files, and when he gave it to me over the weekend I became intensely interested in trying to fix it myself.
But now I'm at a decision point. It probably needs a new logic board. I could try to replace it myself for a few hundred bucks. I could pay someone else to replace it -- but I don't even need another old laptop, what would I do with it?
I think first I'll pop the hood and take a look inside, see how bad it looks. There's a small chance that cleaning up the inside will fix the problem, but I don't expect it to. But looking inside may lead me to make a decision about whether to give up or spend some money on it. There's a logic board on Amazon Prime for $270, that's probably my least expensive option.
Or we just trash the thing. Or I use it like I use my old iPads, as an extra porn screen when I'm playing with toys. It does a fine job playing a porn video from the file server, while I use this laptop for other stuff ;-)
