I am Danny Pintauro, former child star, current HIV/AIDS activist AMA
Hey, you probably know me more for being on your TV in the 80's on "Who's The Boss" but I want to talk about my next journey as an activist and tell you more about my Beacon Of Life tour.
I want to connect with you all and answer questions about myself, my reveal and pretty much anything, so ask me!

| My question is this: with so many websites & apps promoting quick social networking of like-minded people looking to have unsafe sex, how do we break through this trend and get people back to the point where prevention is the mainstream approach? Is it even possible? Or, at this point, should we be resigned to the fact that everyone's going to get it and focus our efforts on people knowing their status and folks that are positive are getting the treatment they need? Is a multi-pronged approach to this possible? | THIS IS MY GOAL. Make unsafe sex and meth UNSEXY. people are creatures of social stigma, trends, fads etc... if we can make having unsafe sexy UNCOOL and UGLY, as well as meth - which is harder because it intertwined with sex. I think we can get somewhere. NO! Everyone is NOT going to get it, NOT on my watch. |
| For instance: when people answer the status question on dating or hookup sites there should be the following choices: 1) Negative - which is great but how SURE are you the person is being honest, actually knows, or that the last test was 8 months ago and they are still saying Negative. 2) Positive - ew gross, that means that you know and you're not doing anything about it. 3) on PReP - this one is better, it means you're being proactive. 4) Undetectable - GREAT. This means you know, you're doing everything you can to take care of yourself and your partner. 5) Don't Know - EW EW EW. How can you NOT know your status??? | |
| Unsafe == unsexy. | They will understand by the time I'm done. Stay tuned. But yeah, you know how people are, if we tell them something is really uncoool or unpopular or unsexy, then they might stop doing it? I mean, nevermind the life changing stuff that happens when you get HIV, its not sexy. :) |
| How long have you been clean and sober and how did you do it? Along with meth, were there any other drugs used regularly? | Clean and sober completely for one year. Just from drugs, I still love wine. BUT - |
I just wanted to congratulate him for his braveness and helping bring even a bit more awareness to this virus/disease.
I also want to say thanks to Oprah as she always does these things with class and I think helps the cause.
Cure in 2020 or at least the 90/90/90! :)
I was watching the movie Cujo this weekend and thought of y'all. Here's the plot for those that haven't seen the movie before:
"In this tale of a killer canine, man's best friend turns into his worst enemy. When sweet St. Bernard Cujo is bitten by a bat, he starts behaving oddly and becomes very aggressive. As Cujo morphs into a dangerous beast, he goes on a rampage in a small town. Stay-at-home mom Donna (Dee Wallace) gets caught in Cujo's crosshairs on a fateful errand with her son, Tad (Danny Pintauro). Stuck in their tiny car, Donna and Tad have a frightening showdown with the crazed animal."
I feel like there would be so much backlash is the film was made in recent times and not in 1983. Pets are portrayed very differently in American 80s movies than they are now and that's not even that long ago.
Hello Out There From TV Land,
I have a long-shot Request for a 2022 YouTube upload: episodes of the hit '80s Disney Channel Original Game Show "Teen Win, Lose or Draw."
Created by Jay Wolpert (who died this week at age 79 after a long fight with Alzheimer's Disease), "Teen Win, Lose or Draw" originally aired on Disney Channel from April 29, 1989 - September 26, 1992, with 65 half-hour Episodes Videotaped entirely in 1989 & 1990, respectively, at The Disney-MGM Studios (now Disney's Hollywood Studios) in Orlando, Florida.
Hosted by Marc Price (fresh from his run as Irwin "Skippy" Handleman on TV's "Family Ties"), "Teen Win, Lose or Draw" had 2 teams each composed of a Teen Celebrity Guest (e.g. Leonardo DiCaprio and Lecy Goranson) and 2 Teen Contestants per show where the Object was to get their teams to say Words, Names & Phrases by Drawing Pictures, with the Team with the most Points at Game's End winning a Prize Package e.g. a trip to Oasis Water Villa Resort in Palm Springs, California while the Runners-Up won a Cheaper Prize Package e.g. Nintendo NES Video Games from Acclaim.
Each game began with a Clue Puzzle Round where the teams had 60 Seconds to Guess a Series of Clues leading up to a Famous Subject e.g. Kirk Cameron; this was followed by a Phrase Round, where the teams had 60 or less Seconds to Communicate a Phrase from a Particular Category e.g. Disney Movies, with a sample Phrase being "The Sword in the Stone."
As with the original, grown-up "Win, Lose or Draw" (of which this series served as a Spin-Off), each game ended with a 90-Second Speed Round to Determine the Prize Package winners; on occasion, depending on time, several episodes featured an Audience Round where a Teen Studio Audience Member drew a Subject e.g. a Pinball in 60 Seconds or less to get $25 Disney Dollars (later amended to the home game "Win, Lose or Draw Junior," advertised as the official "Teen Win, Lose or Draw" Home Game).
**After Jay Wolpert left the show after the first season of 39 half-hour episodes, he was succeeded as Showrunner by the duo of Scott Stone & David Stanley (producing the show for Disney as Stone Stanley Productions) for the 2nd season of 26 half-hour episodes Videotaped in 1990 at The Disney-MGM Studios in Orlando, Florida; simultaneously, a trio of Disney Channel Mouseketeers--Brandy Brown, Chase Hampton, and the recently-Deceased Tiffini Hale (who died very young on Christmas Day at ag
... keep reading on reddit ➡I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes
r/unclejokes for dirty jokes
r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC
r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes
Punchline !
Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub
Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat
Do your worst!
How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
And now I’m cannelloni
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
But that’s comparing apples to oranges
And boy are my arms legs.
Put it on my bill
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
The doctor says it terminal.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
