Hello hello! I'm a 20 year old bisexual guy from Kolkata (Calcutta), India (GMT+5:30) looking for, as mentioned in the title, close and intimate friends.
About me, I'm a full-time university student who's in his second year of undergraduate study. Well, this is just the beginning of my academic journey as I aspire to become a professor, the first in my family to hold a PhD. Physically, I'm 167 cm (5'6"), 65kg (130lbs) with light brown skin, medium brown eyes and very dark brown hair which reaches my shoulders. In bed, I'm a bottom. As for interests, I love reading and collecting books. Also, I like learning languages, currently taking B2 level French lessons at the Alliance française in my city. Apart from that, I enjoy visiting museums, galleries and libraries, followed by discovering various genres and music and podcasts (love the true crime genre) and watching films (Girl, Interrupted is an all-time favourite followed by Call Me By Your Name).
As to why I'm looking for close friends online, I've had very few opportunities to bond with men and also to explore myself. I find it difficult to get along with South Asian men, as I've grown up around them all my life and both the straight and queer ones have deep insecurities regarding their masculinity and sexuality, as well as an inflated sense of thinking highly of themselves. I would just like to change that, even if it's online. I just want companionship and intimacy, even if it's not face-to-face. I would like us to have no hesitations, limits or judgements between us. Just pure desire and affection existing simultaneously. I also suffer from clinical depression, Borderline Personality Disorder and Generalised Anxiety Disorder, have been on medication for the past 5 years and am going to therapy, but if that's not okay with you, I completely understand and do not blame you. I just want someone where we mutually care for each other out of actual genuineness. Also, I should put it out there, if our friendship turns into something potentially romantic, and we both feel the same way, I'd like to act on that.
So if all of this sounds good to you, don't hesitate to reach out, DMs are always open! I would be open to showing my own face and sharing my name if it is a mutual effort on both ends. Also, if we hit it off, I'd like to move to some other, more stable messaging app where we can chat, share pics and voice notes and eventually have voice and video calls.
Important, please note: I DO NOT use SNAPCHAT or SKYPE due to concerns regarding my privacy as well as security and encryption. Hope you do understand that. Looking forward to hearing from you very soon!

Howdy! I'm a 20 year old bisexual guy from Kolkata (Calcutta), India (GMT+5:30), who's curious about nudity and is looking for guys mentioned in the title for purposes stated above.
About me, I'm 167cm (5'6") tall, weigh 60kg (130lbs) with light brown skin, medium brown skin eyes and very dark brown hair which reaches my shoulders. I'm a university student in my 2nd year of study.
As to why I'm looking for foreign men, both same-sex and cross-sex nudity (except in sexual situations) is a gross taboo in India and modesty is highly valued. There are no nude beaches, resorts or saunas, especially to meet fellow queer men. I find the Western outlook to be quite different and thus would like to make some friends. Let's create a friendly environment where we can explore our bodies, share experiences and simply enjoy each other's company in our natural state. Whether it's lounging around, chatting or anything else, I'm open to it all! Let's start chatting here and then move to some other messaging app where we can chat, share pics, voice notes and video messages and eventually have voice and video calls, if we hit it off. Let's embrace our bodies together! So don't hesitate to drop me a DM! See you soon!

Hello big bros! I'm a 20 year old bisexual guy from Kolkata (Calcutta), India (GMT+5:30) who's looking for an older white or Latino/Hispanic bro (21+). Physically, I'm 167 cm (5'6"), 65kg (130lbs) with light brown skin, medium brown eyes and very dark brown hair which reaches my shoulders. As a child, I mostly grew up with women and never had the chance to form close bonds with men, either older or amongst my peers, as we had markedly different interests and also because I was teased for my seemingly effeminate behaviour, which I have now learned to embrace.
All of this has eventually culminated into a distrust of men, especially those who are South Asian, as in my experience they are extremely insecure about their masculinity and sexuality, either straight or queer. But I want to change that, I'm looking for people I can share everything with, whom I can trust, whom I can be intimate and vulnerable with, whatever context that maybe in. I also suffer from clinical depression, Borderline Personality Disorder and Generalised Anxiety Disorder, have been on medication for the past 5 years and am going to therapy, but if that's not okay with you, I completely understand and do not blame you. That being said, I'm open minded and am comfortable with anything at all once we know each other. I just want someone to be a reassuring figure whom I can lean upon and trust with my whole heart. With whom I can talk about anything, without any limitations or judgements, about my curiosities about different things that I didn't have anyone to tell me about in my adolescence and am still figuring out on my own.
So if these sound good to you, please don't hesitate to reach out. Please be open to sharing face pics as I am too. If we get along well we can move to some other messaging app like Discord or something else where we can chat, share voice notes and eventually have voice and video calls. DMs are always open, looking forward to hearing from all of you!
P.S.: I DO NOT use SNAPCHAT or SKYPE or other apps of that kind due to concerns about privacy as well as safety and encryption. Hope you understand.

There is a general consensus on main points of the uber-killer one shot kill blood golemancer (Army of the Dead, Shadowblight passive, Blood Golem), but not so much on a general build. There are a lot of variations out there by different content creators, I want to kind of discuss the pros and cons and gather my thoughts on how to shape a minion necro that can still kill uber bosses relatively quickly without hampering the ability to speedfarm gear or push pit levels.
I'm not going to get in to the nitty gritty details about exact paragon placement and such, but more a high level overview of different takes on the Minionmancer.

Sources

• Mega Minion Guide
  • Seetod's Summoner
  • Bactyrael's Thorns Golemancer
• Kripp's Bone Golemancer - Youtube
• Rob's Golemless Minionmancer - Youtube
• Maxroll's Shadow Minionmancer - Youtube
  • Wudi's Variant - Youtube

Considerations

Attack Speed
According to the Mega Minion Guide, there are two buckets that can individually reach separate caps of 100%.

• The first bucket
  • Cult Leader board will almost always provide 10%, as it's on the way to a key legendary node
  • In contrast, the 5% on the Flesh Eater board is kind of out of the way and is likely not worth the 8-ish points required to unlock
  • The 25% on Hulking Monstrosity board can replace a gear roll, but that ONLY applies to Golem attack speed so is only relevant if you're focused on stacking golem damage over mage damage. The golem attack speed nodes are also pretty far away from the glyph slot and legendary node.
  • The rest (65 or 90%) must come from gear. Kalan's Edict key passive can effectively replace 2 gear rolls allowing us to focus masterworking stats on crit and int instead.
• The Second Bucket
  • There is no reasonable way to reach 100% here
  • Rapid and Rathma's Chosen aspects do not apply as minions don't have "basic attacks" and we're not casting overpowered blood skills
  • Enhanced Reap can give 30%, though won't help with single target fights
  • For Accelerating aspect Blight is the only Core skill we may be casting, but we won't be spamming it so it's probably not worth using it over other aspects for 10%
  • Frenzied Dead aspect is going to be an auto-include as it's an extra 45% with almost no restriction

Cooldown Acceleration
We have a few reliable ways of cheating out lower cooldowns

• Blood Orbs
  • Requires sacrificing a ring slot for the Fastblood Aspect and a defensive slot for the Embalmer Aspect
  • Not very many reliable ways to get Blood Orbs, need to run Blighted Corpse Tendrils and/or Hemorrhage basic skill alongside Embalmer
• Reaper Upgrade 1
  • More consistent on bosses and doesn't require two aspects.
  • We won't be able to rely on the other Skeletal Warrior paths to taunt or generate corpses
• Abhorrent Decrepify
  • We don't really want to focus our stats on lucky hit, this can supplement but shouldn't be relied on

Corpse Generation
When farming, corpses will be plentiful from random trash. When fighting bosses where are our corpses going to come from?

• Sever and Decompose basic skills both make corpses. Sever is slower (1 per 4s), but Decomposition (1 per 1s) requires channeling.
• Hulking Aspect spawns corpses on Golem attacks, good pick for a utility aspect
• Bone Golem Upgrade 1 makes 5 corpses on command, but this is a bit painful as many of the various golem upgrades have really good effects
• Army of the Dead is a long cooldown, but generates tons of corpses. Corpses will have to come from trash mobs between bosses. Taking this means losing Bonestorm.
• Reaper Upgrade 2 has pretty nice corpse generation, but would lose out on the lowered cooldowns from upgrade 1

Vulnerable Application

• Decompose basic skill is a reliable way to make the target vulnerable though channeled skills are a pain to use. Would lose out on Sever's attack speed boost in non-boss situations.
• Bone Golem Upgrade 2 applies vulnerable and does pretty decent damage to boot
• Plagued Corpse Tendrils isn't a bad utility option on top of grouping mobs together, but it does have a lengthy cooldown and requires a corpse
• Cold Mage Upgrade 2 is essentially permanent vulnerable, but losing the shadow damage limits our other options severely.
• Bone Prison This is probably only reasonable for the uber-killer one shot variant. Need to pair with Plunging Darkness Aspect

Ultimate Skill

• Army of the Dead
  • Very spiky gameplay going through peaks and valleys of damage.
  • This skill wants to stay unused until you reach a difficult encounter (especially a single target fight). Using this will then end that fight in moments
  • More damage than Bonestorm
• Bonestorm
  • Very reliable, best to use as often as possible
  • More triggers for Shadowblight key passive when paired with Ultimate Shadow Aspect
  • Much more defensive option compared to AotD (natural 15% DR and Shielding Storm Aspect can give barrier generation)

Key Passive

• Kalan's Edict gives a good chunk of Attack Speed, but is only equivalent to 1-2 gear slots worth after masterworking
• Shadowblight does amazing damage paired with Blighted Aspect, but you need enough shadow damage sources to keep it rolling

Support Skills
We have 2 skill slots left after Skeleton, Golem, Generator, and Ultimate. Maybe 3 if we decide to run without a generator.

• Blight (or Bone Prison+Plunging Darkness Aspect) This is almost an auto-include. It gives extra minion damage, plus is an excellent source of shadow damage ticks for Shadowblight.
• Decrepify is a pure survivability option. Very good at reducing incoming damage and is especially useful for pit pushing.
• Corpse Tendrils groups up mobs and can apply vulnerable or generate blood orbs, but this has a cooldown and will consume cooldown acceleration effects making your ultimate take longer to come up.
• (Blighted) Corpse Explosion is purely for more Shadowblight triggers

Book of the Dead

• Warriors
  • Both Reaper options are good. Taunting defenders are great for thorns builds. Skirmishers are bad.
• Mages
  • Shadowblight is such a crucial part of the build that going anything other than one of the two shadow variants seems like the wrong choice. Upgrade 1 is great for Golem focused builds, Upgrade 2 is (slightly) better for mage focused builds. Cold Mages with Upgrade 2 is viable if not running Shadowblight
• Golem (needs more verification on different golem attack speeds)
  • Bone Golem attacks quickly and does surprisingly good damage on top of taunting. Upgrade 2 seems to be the better option but an argument could be made for Upgrade 1 for builds lacking corpse generation and for fueling the Corpse-Eater legendary paragon node
  • Blood Golem Upgrade 1 is a massive amount of DR, with how rare it is now might be worth it in high pit levels. Upgrade 2 is for silly numbers and stacking pure golem damage to the detriment of minions. He attacks slower than the Bone Golem so the difference is not as large as it may appear.
  • Iron Golem Upgrade 1 may provide more damage than the Bone Golem, but loses the Vulnerability or Corpse generation utility.

2h vs 1h
Minions used to just take the weapon damage, so going big 2H scythe was the way to go. Now they also base their attack speed on the weapon speed so the DPS is equalized across all weapon types (verification needed)

• 2H (Scythe) is great for double dipping damage from the most valuable Aspect (usually Blighted)
• 1H (Wand) allows for faster minion attacks, which means more triggers for things like Hulking Aspect and Iron Golem Upgrade 1 which trigger base off of attacks NOT lucky hit. Allows for an additional aspect. Also necro offhands come with an implicit Cooldown reduction which is nice to have.

Aspects

• Offensive
  • Required:
    • Blighted - Shadowblight builds only, good option for the neck or 2H slot for the bonus
    • Frenzied Dead - Massive attack speed boost that does NOT compete with the attack speed cap from gear (verification needed)
    • Reanimation - Huge damage boost, good option for the neck or 2H slot for the bonus
    • Ultimate Shadow - Bonestorm builds only
    • Unyielding Commander's - Army of the Dead builds only
    • Needleflare - Thorns builds only
  • Situational:
    • Plunging Darkness - Bone Prison tech choice only
    • Conceited - Bonestorm builds only, also requires Shielding Storm aspect
    • Inner Calm - An OK choice but nothing amazing, better with Decompose basic skill since you're standing still to channel anyway
• Defensive
  • Required:
    • Hardened Bones - DR is so rare, each point is precious
    • Embalmer - Blood Orb builds only
  • Situational:
    • Shielding Storm - Bonestorm builds only
    • Might - Decent pick if you have nothing better
• Utility
  • Required:
    • Blood Getter's - This is double dips back to your minions!
    • Hulking Aspect - Decent way to get corpses and get your Golem skill off cooldown
    • Occult Dominion - More minions! Put this on the neck if you don't put blighted or reanimation there.
  • Situational:
    • Aphotic - An OK source of Shadow damage for Shadowblight if lacking otherwise
• Mobility/Resource
  • Required:
    • Fastblood - Blood Orb builds only
  • Situational:

Uniques?

• Ring of the Sacrilegious Soul can be a nice quality of life for farming. It also makes it so you can "cast" corpse tendrils without ever putting it on cooldown, meaning it won't eat your cooldown acceleration effects.
• Blood Moon Breeches lets you get some juicy curse effects without taking up a spot on the skill bar, massive extra source of DR as well.
• Razorplate mandatory for thorns builds.

Conclusions

With all that said, where does that leave us with regards to a general minionmancer?

• Kalan's Edict seems underpowered compared to Shadowblight. Maybe early game before you have attack speed rolls on gear, but after that Shadowblight seems like a clear winner. That also means we should probably avoid variations with cold or bone mages.
• Reapers seem like the winner of the melee skeleton options. Upgrade 1 seems especially hard to pass up. Corpse generation can come from elsewhere.
• Golems feel very well balanced to me. Any selection seems reasonable, no golem provides an irreplaceable effect or stands head and shoulders above the others.
• There are an unusually large number of Utility aspects which we want. This makes me lean away from using Blood Orbs as a method for reducing cooldown as it's really hard to fit in the two required aspects.
• 2H builds feel better when paired with AotD style of gameplay as they're both focused on spikes of damage. This is might just be a me thing.
• Some sample variants: https://maxroll.gg/d4/planne8fokq02s#1

I didn't see a fiend hunt guide posted yet, so here's a quick no nonsense one:

1. TEAM SETUP: Dark-element attacker + Chain stackers + buffers.
2. WHEN TO UNLEASH YOUR BIG ATTACK: On your fourth turn (Game Turn 7), after you have triggered the boss's conditional skill. Feel free to use skills before then, as long as your big damage skills are not in cooldown on Turn 7.
3. Player turn 1 (game turn 1): Put your main dark-element attackers outside of the fiend's damage range (at the back). Let everyone else get hit. The units that get hit by the attack will get a chain stacking boost, but the units that don't get hit by the attack will get a property damage boost next round.
4. Player turn 2 (game turn 3): Continue keeping your dark-element attackers at the back so they get hit by the fiend skill. Don't stack too many chains! It's best not to use skills because you don't want to go above 15 chains yet.
5. Player turn 3 (game turn 5): Use your chain stacking costume skills to stack at least 15 chains this turn. Since you should have received the chain stacking buff after the first turn, this shouldn't be too hard, you really only need one Zenith or Celia to reach the 15 chain threshold (6x2 = 12, plus some normal attacks from the rest of your team).
6. Player turn 4 (game turn 7): Buff up and press the big nuke button.
7. Player turn 5 (game turn 9): Fiend now has 90% damage reduction, so you can't do much damage any more. Feel free to charge up SP for the next team, or just spam whatever skills you have left.

Good luck!

Alright guys. I’m so close to my pantheon Rhulk clear but could use some advice on a better burst heavy weapon to run as the ceno-div-lock for clinching in final stand.
My fireteam is pushing final stand on Rhulk consistently. However we’re just not clinching it and it’s sooo close. Aside from maxing DPS from the rest of the fireteam I feel like I need a burst quick-firing heavy to close it out that I can just swap to from DIV the second darkness stacks hit 6/7 or so and close out the fight.
My crux termination IV with envious/bipod feels too slow and tonight I was one rocket short of possibly clinching it at the end (rocket was in the tube, hit 10 stacks just before I could fire again).
I was thinking of trying wendigo, but without envious as a perk I’m wondering if I should ignore trying to run arc for my heavy and just run either my spike+envious+Bns edge transit or cataphract with the same roll.
Any thoughts on the heavy choice for the div-lock for a final burst dps option here would be greatly appreciated.

I felt like i went to the new dimension after the glory days of 2008-2010 then 2011 is still okay but 2012 something has changed in my life when i watch marvel's the avengers in Cinema the graphics has change something's music has changed too from mellow rock music to party music 2013 is a quiet year but something in the world has changed there are weird visions im seeing 2013 this is not the similar as the 2010 then 2014 that's the year that changed is coming to the world where things are starting to go to the new dimension party music has been evolved to girly music everything is getting zestier time goes by in 2014 reality shows has evolved and computers are evolving smartphones are becoming popular in 2014 then enter 2015 the year that changed my life forever for the worse girly music evolve dubstep came which kills my moods then people are hard to talk with anymore people discriminate each other which sucks then music become teki and i know that 2015 that year changed everything then enter 2016 i don't mind that year because im trying to heal that year from the trauma i have in 2015 then 2017 came and this got worse music become toxic to hear rap is popular everything is dark in 2017 i have bad lucks that year then 2018 bts became boom which is great memories for the fans of them came Computers have been popular every high schooler has a computer that year then 2019 came that year the world is way worse super worse than 2015 i knew somethings needs to change toxic people are evolving games are evolving my Punk Emo Rock Music is dying I can't talk to people because of there sensitivity which is i said to myself "oh men i'm in trouble" then songs become worse and worse until 2020 came covid came and another worse then kids are toxic that year like they're smarter than before and they use it for toxicity and games become popular like minecraft then the sophisticated world came in 2021 where conversations are more sophisticated because of addiction to social media addiction to trends like when i go outside people are wearing trash clothes very unproffesional clothes unlike back then were people are very proffesional when it comes to clothes and porn is booming in social media and being few people in the mall is like it's peaceful enter 2022 end of pandemic music is nothing popular movies sucks there wars in the world nothing new because the world become worse since 2015 then 2023 people forget everything what happened back then and the people become stupid how can i explain car accidents happen often people are sophisticated to talk to which is a weak conversation to me and 2024 here we are confused what is going on to the world because ever since 2012 evolution and 2015 change it become worse now we are in the boring world which is kind of peaceful and am i relieve not 100% because i lost my glory days of 2008-2011 where music is better cars are unique beautiful weather everything is unique back then there's no discrimination just buddy buddy but now people seem to be quiet and hard to talk to because of sophistication now i think i can't admit to myself im in peace i just hard to talk to anyone this days that's why it's not 100% but hey enjoy this moment of being in peace be grateful what you have and don't be very ambitious of you don't have

"Greatness" when it comes to music, is discography, influence, longevity, hits, impact, Versatility
These all things Rihanna ticks boxes in, Michael Jackson ticks these boxes, as does Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Prince, Bob Marley, Queen, Pink Floyd and many more, hence making these some of Music's greatest Acts, Rihanna belongs up there
While Rihanna does not write or Produce her music, she still curiates, Michael Jackson did not play instruments or write a lot of his songs however that doesn't take away from his Artistry
https://youtu.be/n6N1_sxlBU8?si=VjyeCyuO-xG9KsM2 "We Found Love" by Rihanna (2011) one of the 2010s greatest songs with a Beautiful and Haunting EDM Instrumental, emotionally compelling narrative and Catchy hook with good Vocals
https://youtu.be/2IzNKRg5uZs?si=rRWMisrFSP1Jv084 "Man Down" (2010) a Reggae song, already showing how Versatile Rihanna is, however it's a dark song about a Young Woman taking revenge on a Man who Sexually Assaulted her, her Vocals are amazing here and this song proves her Vocal Range as she blends into Reggae so easily
https://youtu.be/pHQvdENN8GM?si=imvUQP-VBSy0Isan "SOS" (2006) an Amazing R&B hit that Samples the classic 80s hit "Tainted Love" showing Rihanna paying homage to the classics
https://youtu.be/C75J03JXz24?si=cQde35TtjryXuyTf "Dont Stop the Music" (2007) one of the Greatest Dance and Club songs of the last 20 years, where she samples Michael Jackson's "Wanna Be Startin Something" with a Futuristic and Electronic update which sounds amazing, a Classic Sensual Banger
https://youtu.be/xXD5tltX9Pg?si=bP6K2WYobO1N1m5z "Umbrella" (2007) I mean I don't have a lot to say, it's one of the most iconic Pop Songs of all time
https://youtu.be/wmGjajXDHKo?si=QOGaoK4Se0v7GlwV "Disturbia" (2007) a Horrorcore Genre song that WENT BILLBOARD NUMBER 1, what kinda Horrorcore songs goes number 1? This song displays Rihanna's influence by Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and was one of the most groundbreaking songs of the 2000s Popularising Autotune as an artistic effect
https://youtu.be/AjLD4ufmSlE?si=KgR8msbKyoQCRlg- "Shut Up & Drive" (2007) another Classic, this is one of thr greatest Pop Rock songs of the last 20 years, its a great Sensual song that is inspired by a Classic like "Whole Lotta Love" by Zeppelin, and it samples "Blue Monday" which Is a Masterpiece, Shut Up & Drive even has a hint of Grunge influence, again showing Rihanna leaving her comfort zone musically
https://youtu.be/QMP-o8WXSPM?si=WmqZlvMg7GVsJeVI "Love on the Brain" (2016) a brilliant song on Rihanna's last Album, it is influenced by 60s Soul & Blues ballads
Rihanna is one of the most Popular and influential Artists of all time, despite only having an 11 year music Career from 2005 to 2016, Rihanna has managed to become one of the top 10 highest selling Artists in history, the 2nd highest Female Artist ever behind Madonna despite Madonna having a 25 year headstart and Rihanna is creeping up in sales, she has 14 Billboard Number 1s, Beatles in comparison had 21, she's versatile, boundary pushing, has great vocal Range. I feel it's only fair she is worthy of a "Greatest Artists of all time" list
I'm not even sure if this is that unpopular IRL, most people I talk to in real life agree Rihanna is a Musical Legend, but Reddit is not Real Life, Reddit shits on anything Pop that isn't Michael Jackson lol
If I was to rate Rihanna's top 5 Albums

1. Good Girl Gone Bad (2007) is a 9/10
   
2. Loud (2010) is a 9/10
   
3. ANTI (2016) is a 8.5/10
   
4. Rated R (2009) is a 8/10
   
5. Talk That Talk (2011) is a 8/10
   

She doesn't have a 10/10 Album, like Thriller, Bad, Purple Rain, Led Zeppelin 1, Zeppelin IV, Abbey Road, Dark Side of the Moon and so on, but two 9/10 Albums is insanely impressive, someone like Ed Sheeran has never even made a 7/10 Album

As always, I close the door
Open insta and thread
To check out the sexy babes
I go through their pics
Imagining them naked
Their lovely pussy and tits
Sexy thighs and firm ass
Rosy red lips of a fine lass
pubes dark or shaved?
Me and hot girls, its an orgy
All the beautiful flowers
From Nepal's 4 jaat 36 varna fulbaari
I kiss their lips and lick their ears
Finger their holes and grab their breasts
Soft and bouncy
It all feels so real
Then the damned phone rings
And i am back in reality
Alone sad depressed
Dirty and smelly

What's up all! 4th Wall here! I finally have power returned to my home, and can play a little catch up! This one's a heavy hitter, No NSFW needed (I hope) but if you've got kids, be warned.
First, Previous, Next

A bright flash of blues and whites spat a greyish black object into normal space a mere one hundred Clicks from physical asteroid cloud that provided a natural barrier into the Lurix system. USN Olyvia’s drives instantly flared to life, and she made for the outer edges of the asteroid field with a purposeful stride. The senior Crew was at hand, having alternated shifts so they were well rested for this endeavor. Captain Correllus Grarzia shifted in his chair slightly, watching with interest as his star helmsman switched from his standard control configuration to a more “analog” twin joystick and pedals. ‘The kid really should be piloting a fighter’ he mused just as the young lad turned to look at him. “Ready, skipper”

“Take us in. All ahead slow.” Cory ordered calmly, before keying up the ship wide broadcasting channel. “This is the captain. We’ve just entered the Lurix system. Rig for silent running. I repeat, rig for silent running.” All across the ship, nonessential systems were shut down; their lack of electronic signature aiding the stealth coating on the bulky former troop transport. In engineering. Patrick, Cammy, and the rest of their section powered down a large portion of the larger systems onboard.

Life support was set to emergency backup, with old school oxygen candles lit in special housings that allowed their life-giving emissions to be circulated throughout the ship. Each major section of the vessel had their own supplies of these low-tech solutions, and Olyvia carried enough of these candles to survive for several days without functioning life support if needed.

Only a few were lit this time, using them as an augmentation to allow for minimal use of their perfectly functioning life support systems; and Cammy returned from the compartment just in time to aid in shutting down two thirds of Olyvia’s fusion reactors. This was not usually part of the silent running protocol, but Cory had added it for this mission. While they knew where their target would be, they still knew very little about what defenses awaited them inside the system.

Patrick keyed up the mic, “Engineering reporting in, silent running.”

*acknowledged* came a voice back. And Patrick leaned back in his chair just as Cammy arrived. “Well, that’s that.” He sighed.

Cammy stepped behind his chair, rubbing his shoulders for a second, “candles are lit. Two per section. At this rate we won’t run out for a year.”

Patrick chuckled, standing before looking over at his team, “sandwiches are in the mess hall. Half go now, half after. We’ll wait and go with second shift.” The team nodded and soon. The room was half as full. “Hurry up, and wait” Patrick mused, and turned to the rest. “Hold’em anyone?”

Over the next several days, shifts were kept short with a high rotation frequency. Olyvia picked her way through the natural minefield created by a destroyed world, slipping between the dead planetary shards with deadly caution. She ran quiet, with all but minimal deflectors shut down, and a single detuned laser online on each of her flanks as a last resort against impacts. Cory, Jesse, Patrick, and Cammy met regularly to keep tabs on the ship’s progress. The admiral’s transmission had reached them in time, and the four of them, plus Jacky when she could pry herself from the infirmary, worked to formulate a plan to get into the freighter without killing everyone. They had Hera and Jacobs reports, but those reports also admitted to a certain degree of incredible luck on their part. Things could have gone very differently, and the murder of the freighter during the admiral’s capture operation hinted at a change in tactics from their foe.

Mackenzie’s Privateers had liberated several freighters since they began operations, keeping to their cover as “pirates” by leaving nothing big enough to betray their secrets behind. A few of the other captains had left pieces of inoperative Unity tech, strategically damaged and jettisoned after the fight, as red herrings to convince both the Vorath, and the Thermians that these “pirates” had somehow gotten ahold of Unity warships.


Cory stepped into the cargo bay to meet Patric and Camorra. They were tinkering, carefully he hoped, with one of Olyvia’s harpoon missiles. It was a project triggered by Cammy’s brilliant, if outlandish, idea. “We know these freighters all ran the same codes, and the same infrastructure in their computer cores. Why can’t we hack it. Human computing should be perfectly capable of it.” Cory remembered her words as he stepped up to the two, “at ease” he waved them away as they threatened to salute him, “how’s out little project coming.”


“See for yourself” Patrick smiled handing him a data pad.

Cory took the offered device, quickly scanning through the data, “All I see is Olyvia’s system logs. Did you give me the wrong one?”

Patric smiled evilly, “that is coming from the missile, we found a common power regulator chip that dam near all Delmar freighters use in their integrated core management. Our mole here mimicked that regulators protocols to get into one we installed in a conduit over there” he pointed to an open panel. “It’s designed to cycle through several common chip sets and protocols to get access.”

“You hacked Olyvia?” Cory asked, eyebrow raised in a combination of amusement and irritation.

“Well, “Cammy said calmly, “we had to test it, and Oly’s the only ship close enough…”

“I see…” Cory mused, “it will have to do, we will be reaching the edge of the field in three days, how many of these can you have ready?”

Patrick scratched the red stubble punctuating his jaw line. “Hmm two, maybe three, including that one.” He winced at his captain’s expression, “took us a minute to get the virus right, sorry.”

Cory sounded to himself like a broken record, “I guess that will have to do as well. I’ll leave it to you.” He turned to return to his office but was interrupted half way there by an urgent request for his presence on the bridge.

Jesse rose to greet him as Cory stepped into Olyvia’s command center, and he nodded towards the ready room off to the side. The two of them quickly stepped inside and Jesse closed the door. “Jesse, what’s this about” Cory asked, settling into his desk chair.

Jesse, his first officer, and battle born brother looked at him seriously, “The first of our stealth probes have made it into the system proper….. It’s not good” He tapped at his data pad before handing it to his captain, “The enemy is doing something big down there, and we don’t know what. What we do know, Is that there are three heavy cruisers in orbit, and three more destroyers in floating patrols around the system.”

Cory scrolled through the pad as his first officer made his report, pausing at the same information on the planet’s surface, “These are military installations. This makes no since. We haven’t had a use for Lurix in millennia. It’s always just been a haven for aquatic and semi aquatic species. Why didn’t our intel warn us of this.”

Jesse nodded grimly, “I don’t know for sure, but I have my suspicions.” He reached over, tapping at the tab to open a particular file Cory had yet to find. “We found these in orbit as well.” He pointed to a pair of Delmar constructed freighters, parked in orbit over the marsh world. “I authorized a single transmission to a single drone, uploading Patrick and Camorra’s hacking program into it, and we sent it to one of those freighters... this is what we found.”

Cory opened the indicated file, and felt bile rise in the back of his throat as he watched. “Ready a tight beam, send it back the way we came, Towards Simo.” Jesse looked at his captain in understanding. The risks of transmitting this close to the enemy was a grave risk. Measured against the information they just witnessed; however, it was an absolute necessity. Jesse took the offered tablet, “The Admirals need to see this…. Both of them.”

Clint Stevens groaned as his communicator beeped from his desk. It was a very early morning on a weekend, and Frie had let Natalie stay at her grandparents for the weekend. He quietly slipped from the entanglements of a profoundly comfortable Delmar goddess he had somehow been gifted with as his wife, and silently cursed the inevitable destruction of his plans. The Com was linked to his computer console, and Clint tapped the file as he sat down.

The file opened, beginning with a grim looking Corellus Grarzia who made an intro statement that froze Clint in his thoughts. Before he could begin to prepare himself, images flooded in that turned grogginess into razors edge consciousness ringing with a white hot fury. Frie was ripped from her slumber instantly, reaching for her biometric pistol safe as a response to the unbridled rage she experienced from her husband. It took her a moment to realize that they were not being attacked, and she rushed from their bed, neglecting even basic decency to be by his side.

The two of them watched the Horrors unfold. Children… small children of multiple different races, stacked in a freighter’s hold like cattle, being thrown food like one would an animal. Massive screens played, promising safety and full bellies should they only but kiss the hand of a severe looking Vorath female. All who had not, were treated to daily ice cold sprays mixed with random beatings. He watched as desperate older siblings attempted to shelter their kin from the abuse, often times paying the ultimate price for their valor.

Clint and Frie were spared a further assault on their senses by a beeping light, indicating an urgent call from Clint’s adopted brother. Frie slipped out of view, reaching for a night gown as a furious Mac, accompanied by an equal parts shocked and livid Lyrian, appeared on screen.


“You’ve seen it” Clint stated. There were no barriers between them, no formalities. Only pure truth.

“I have,” Mac rumbled. “Why is it always kids..”

Clint shook his head, “I can have a battle group there in two weeks. It’s not soon enough, but.”

Mac nodded sharply, “I’m redirecting everyone not on critical missions. Simo and Kid are already there with Olyvia. Wisconsin is enroute. We will await your arrival….. Clint…” Clint’s eyes met Mac’s in a joined promise that reached across time and space.

“No, there won’t.” Clint answered, responding to Mac’s unspoken statement.

___________________________________________________________

A week later, The Chancellor Thomas Durrant of the Sol Federation perused the latest transmissions from Unity space. He was due for reelection this coming fall, and it was a close race. His opponent was labelling him a Warmonger, as he was an outspoken proponent of a more active role in the struggle against the Vorath, and it was working. The points were closing in the polls, and The Chancellor had not come out on top with the latest debate results. Humanity simply was not interested in further conflict. For the first time in human history, the vast majority of the Human race was content with peace.

The Chancellor took a sip of his mug as he opened a file from Admiral Stevens marked priority, but not top secret and promptly spit the contents in his mouth back into the mug. It was a complete file on some kind of intelligence operation, and Durrant almost wondered if it had been sent to him in error. The gruesome cover video dispelled that notion as the leader of Humanity itself watched horrors thought long dead play out in front of him. Several minutes later, he closed the file, and opened a message prompt.


“Viktor, are you up.” He typed.

*Yea, Tom. I’m up, the campaign ain’t gonna run itself into the ground.*

Durrant snorted at the dark humor, “Viktor, I was sent something. It changes… everything” he typed, attaching the cover video, and the longer form surveillance recording he had found inside the file from Clint. Several minutes passed in tense silence before…

*Jesus Christ, Tom.*

Tom Durrant took a long slow breath, “Do you still have your man at The Post.” He paused before sending, knowing what he was asking.

*Yea… yea I do, Tom. Are you sure you want to do this. This has ‘it will blow up in my face’ written all over it.*

“I know, but this bigger than me. Do it, and announce a press conference to follow if The Post runs with it.” Durrant typed and sent the last message, closing down his console. He stood slowly, feeling his age for the first time in recent memory, and walked heavily to bed.

The Post ran with the story. In the next 48 hours, the “leaked” scenes of tortured children, some barely more than infants ripped its way into Humanities Psyche. The revelations of what exactly was going on behind Vorath lines assailed Humanity, spurring many to call for blood, and Others to cry hoax. Around and around the political commentators debated, and redebated the shocking footage.

Chancellor Thomas Durrant followed through on his word, and was now stepping up to the platform and the Microphone as promised. He stood there for a full minute, meeting the eyes of as many of the hundreds of reporters before him as he could. The weight of his expression prompted a flurry of flashes as camera drones captured the image. Durrant allowed all of this to happen, waiting until the din of activity settled into a heavy silence. “People of Humanity… By now, you have undoubtedly seen the shocking pictures from the far side of the galaxy. Many of you believe it to be a hoax, a desperate ploy for political points. Allow me to be clear. This is no hoax, I received these disturbing images directly from Admiral Clint Stevens, who is marshalling the forces at his disposal as we speak. He aims to do something about these orbital concentration camps, and I support his actions with the full backing of my authority as Chancellor of the United Sol Federation.”

Durrant paused, letting the information sink in before continuing, “to answer the question as to whether this is a political ploy for points. Let me be perfectly clear, I alone released the footage from inside those torture ships, and I do not care if you believe it to be a political ploy. If Humanity can see the atrocities committed to the young innocents in those images and refuse to stand up for them; I no longer would wish to lead that Humanity. Yes, we are few compared to what we once were, but we have a strength that cannot be fathomed by those who chose to side with pure evil. Make no mistake, any being that is capable of torturing and murdering children deserves the title.” The Chancellor of United Sol skewered the silent crowd with a withering gaze, “All of you here know that I have been an ardent supporter of taking a more active role against this pure evil, and my opponent has made a great many statements regarding my supposed “warmongering”. I believe that to debate him further on this matter is as wasteful as it would be irrelevant. As such, I am suspending my campaign immediately. Pending permission from donors and the campaign review board, I will be donating the totality of my campaign war-chest to the purchase of relief supplies and construction of rehabilitation facilities for these children.” Durrant paused as a wave of gasps swept through the room as a volley of flashes assaulted his eyes. “Holding the position of leader of the Human race seems so insignificant in comparison,” he said softly, almost to himself before scanning the crowd. “The election is 4 months away. If you wish to reelect me, so be it; but know this.” Thomas Durrant rose to his full height, “If you elect me this fall, know that I will use the full weight of this office to unleash the full might of Humanity upon this evil, or I will resign from my post and travel to Unity space myself.”

With that. Chancellor Thomas Durrant spun on his heals and marched off the stage.

hi again lol doctors appointment coming up so my anxiety as at an all time high again 🫠 just want to know what to expect… dm me so i can send pics of my at home INSTI HIV tests
appears to be negative but the blue dot isn’t as dark so i’m a bit paranoid? the first time i took it the blue dot was dark now idk but i still only see 1 dot its just faint looking
i emailed the company and asked if maybe i had a bad batch and if this could mean my results were invalid but they said the 1 dot is still visible so it means im negative
just looking for a bit of reassurance and other opinions!!

Growing up, I (16F) was never seen as the pretty friend. Everyone I was friends with was ALWAYS seen as prettier than me. It always got to me. The one thing I wanted in the world was to be pretty.
Lia (16F) was one of my best friends and very gorgeous. Every guy wanted her, no matter the age.
Fast forward to our last year of school. We go to a private school so that means a lot of students that didn’t get a high score in their finals could come back to our school and redo the last year of school to rewrite again.
Lia’s ex, Mikey (17M), was one of the many who repeated the last year of school. He was average height, dark curly hair.
Lia and Mikey were in a talking stage two years before, they did “stuff” together and I can’t quite remember if they were together officially then but I know they did do stuff.
Then, before the last year of high school had started.. they both got to talking and decided to date for a few days before Lia broke up with him because she didn’t really like him in that way anymore.
Anyways for some reason, Mikey had taken a liking to me. He would flirt with me and use every opportunity to touch me (not in a weird way).
We messaged on Instagram a lot, and we eventually exchanged n*des. He did ask for a picture of my kitty but I had refused because I was very insecure of my body at that time and it had even took so much energy to send the boob pic alone.
Anyways, fast forward to a party. We were both there. Lia wasn’t. I was there with Ally and he was there with his friends.
I got really drunk, he was really drunk and I found myself dancing on him. Dancing on him then led to him pulling me towards a seat and making out with me.
He also pulled me into the bathroom for (glock glock) and I had motioned the help sign for Ally before she entered.
Luckily, she had saved me before anything too bad had happened. (Unfortunately, his d*ck was in my mouth and unfortunately it was not even clean).
Lia was the type of girl that EVERY guy wanted and she could get ANY guy. If she wanted Mikey she could have gotten him but she didn’t care about him so that was okay, right?
I didn’t even enjoy it, I wanted nothing more than to get out of there. So that doesn’t mean anything, right??
I genuinely did feel guilty but he was the first guy who had ever wanted me, the first guy who had ever seen me. I had craved that type of attention for forever and then I had finally gotten it.
I know it’s horrible, but I still have to ask.. AITA?

pics of Mocs on feet
So, after countless hours of scouring all your usual shoe review outlets trying to find a sizing review for the Oak Street Camp Moc, especially the few reviews here, I decided to follow OSB’s “1/2 down” sizing recommendations. Just DON’T. My foot FELT like the glove on OJ’s hand LOOKED. I used shoe stretchers..nah..no go either. I’ve never been suggested to try a wide shoe, but these completely crammed my forefoot and made it feel like I was two-stepping with Lizzo in a dark alley. I have quite a few other similar pairs in Sperry, EasyMoc, LL Bean, and Sebago..but these were my first venture into a “higher end” pair and I have to say I wasn’t really super impressed with them when I pulled them out of the box. Definitely don’t look as good as they did online. Gonna send back to OSB to exchange for a full size up, so we will see how that goes. 😮‍💨
