2025.01.26 06:40 Dreadcarrier Should I tell my current employer where my new job is?

Seeking feedback on the following situation:
I work for a small consulting firm that is informally partnered with a massive tech company. We implement their products. I really enjoy my job even though it is stressful at times.
Over the last 6 months, massive tech company poached 2/3 SMEs in a particular tech stack that is quite lucrative to my org. Leadership is pissed. We’ve struggled to backfill them and I’ve stepped up in a significant way, which lead to a promotion.
In December, I saw a job opening at massive tech company, so I applied. I was a perfect fit. They got back to me 2 weeks ago to schedule an interview- 2 days after I was promoted. On Thursday, I went through the interview process and killed it. They gave me a verbal offer on Friday.
It’s an upgrade in every conceivable way (including life changing comp boost). My former coworkers will even be on my team and have confirmed that they love the culture. Obviously I need to do my due diligence once the offer is in hand, but at a high level it is a no brainer.
Here’s the question: if I decide to take the role, should I withhold the details when I submit my two week notice? The group I’m in is completely reliant on me to sell & execute future projects and they’re already pissed about the others being poached. I have a fantastic relationship with leadership & they’re reasonable people, so I don’t anticipate retaliation or even [open] hard feelings, but at the same time you have no idea how people will react when their livelihood is threatened. Withholding may even CAUSE the animus rather than prevent it.
Has anyone ever done this before? What was the reaction?
TLDR: Another company poaching employees leaving me as sole technical resource > leaders are pissed > I applied to other company and got verbal offer > should I withhold details when (if) I put in my notice?

That’s two matches in a row Tierney has found wicked left wing space and swung in two really killer crosses you rarely see the like of from the other LB options. He creates real goal scoring opportunities, if only someone could reliably be on the end of them.

2025.01.26 06:40 sariii3 Trocar de sobrenome por mudança de filiação

Olá!
Planejava já adicionar o sobrenome da minha avó ao meu nome. Completamente independente disto, enquanto investigava a minha árvore genealógica, descobri que meu último sobrenome não é exatamente da minha família, mas sim que um antepassado meu resolveu dar aos filhos de homenagem ao padrinho deles ou algo semelhante -- poderia eu, posto que a minha árvore genealógica é bem documentada, trocá-lo pelo outro do meu avô paterno no próprio processo do cartório, ou precisaria abrir uma requisição judicial?

2025.01.26 06:40 TheKyotoProtocol A Player a Day - Day 33. Caiden Cleary

Player: Caiden Cleary
Shirt Number: 33
Last Year : Sydney Swans #33
Position: Midfield / Half Forward
CC is another young player that rocketed onto the scene in 2024. Our second draft pick thought for sure he was going to be in Collingwood during the draft process, but the young academy prospect competed hard from day 1 and got his chance against the giants in round 15. In his first 3 games he was pretty quiet, but finished game 4 with 11 disposals and 16 in game 5, showing that he is heading in the right direction for 2025. In the 2s, CC was very impressive from day 1. He had a steady rise in performances each week, and peeked in round 14 with a 39 disposal game! The best 22 remains a tough squad to crack but CC, along with Gus Sheldrick are the 2 in the best position to make the rise into regulars this upcoming season
2025 Outlook
Low end - The likes of Corey, Indi Kirk (what a mark) and Jesse Dattoli make rises and take opportunities away from CC who does not stand out in the 2s. He does enough to get 5 games in the 1s and averaged 10 touches a game in those games but does not do enough to be a regular.
Middle of the road - CC continues his natural rise towards stardom and sees an uptick of minutes and performances. CC averages 15 touches a game over his 10 games and even manages to feature as the sub in a final. He finishes with 8 goals over the year and comes into 2026 primed to be a regular starter.
Best result - CC rises to the challenge and steals Parks spot from right under Adam's nose. After a big performance in R3, CC does enough throughout a strong stretch of football that he is considered a locked in member of the best 22. He is a key aspect of our deep run into September and continues into 2026 joining Errol and Gus as being the future of this great club

2025.01.26 06:40 Metallic_Hedgehog I asked Gemini to decipher the Secret of Sandtrap. Here's what happened...

The script in the image appears to be a variation of the Pigpen cipher, also known as the Masonic cipher. It's a geometric simple substitution cipher, which exchanges letters for symbols which are fragments of a grid. Here's a breakdown of how it works and how we can start to decipher it: The Pigpen Cipher Key The standard Pigpen cipher uses the following grids: * Grid 1: . . . ---+---+--- . . . ---+---+--- . . .

A dot in the top left represents "A", the top center "B", the top right "C", and so on.
- Grid 2: X X X

X X X

A dot in the top left "X" represents "J", the top center "K", the top right "L", and so on.
- Grid 3: . . . . .
. * A symbol will represent the letters "S" through "V" * Grid 4: X X X X X
X * A symbol will represent the letters "W" through "Z" Variations The cipher in your image is likely a variation because: * Different Symbols: Some symbols don't perfectly match the standard Pigpen. * Possible Word Breaks: There might be spaces or other indicators that could denote word breaks, though that's not a standard Pigpen feature. * Order of letters The order of the letters in each grid may be different from the standard cipher. Deciphering Steps * Identify Standard Symbols: Start by looking for symbols that closely resemble the standard Pigpen grids and dots. * Create a Tentative Key: Based on the identified symbols, try to map out a potential key grid, assigning letters to the symbols. * Look for Patterns: Examine the text for repeating symbol sequences. These might correspond to common letter combinations (like "th," "er," "and") or even short words. * Context Clues Using the "by DE:1056" at the top we can assume that the first grid is read left to right and in order. * Trial and Error: Use your tentative key to try deciphering parts of the text. Be prepared to adjust your key as you discover inconsistencies or new patterns. The First Line The first two letters are "b" and "y" and the next four are "d," "e," ":," and "1." This all lines up with the text at the top of the image. If we assume the next two symbols are "0" and "5" we can finish the number and then the next letter would be "6." We can use the information to test our first grid hypothesis. It appears that the first grid is correct. The key for this cipher is below: A B C D E F G H I

J K L M N O P Q R
S T U
V W X
Y Z 0
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
The key shows the order that the letters appear in each grid. The symbol that represents each lettenumber is found by taking the shape of the lines around the desired character. For example, B is _ |
and the symbol for "u" would be an upside-down u. A dot is added inside the shape to notate the second and third rows of each grid. Challenges * Non-Standard Symbols: The biggest challenge will be deciphering symbols that deviate from the standard Pigpen. You might need to analyze their position and frequency to deduce their corresponding letters. * No Word Breaks: If there are no clear word breaks, it will be harder to identify common words and patterns. In Conclusion Deciphering this text will be a fun puzzle! It requires careful observation, pattern recognition, and a bit of trial and error. Start with the standard Pigpen as a base, and be flexible in adapting your key as you uncover more clues. Good luck!

2025.01.26 06:40 Financial_Fennel_611 Can’t act like a “bride”

I visited my extended family for the first time in about 7 years. I love them to death and wasn’t able to see them because my parents were abusive and didn’t want me to interact with my uncles, aunts, cousins or grandmother. I was 16/17 when I left, and I’m in my early twenties now. I graduated college and I’m married now, so it’s a big change. My family never thought of me as the feminine or timid type; I grew up with brothers only and my parents’ abuse made me very angry at the world and my extended family always wanted to help me, but they accepted me.
Long story short, my husband and I went to visit for the first time (in a long time for me) and they got to meet him and see me and everyone was happy, but over the two week visit I kept getting comments from the women in my family about how I don’t look or act like a bride, like I’m newlywed. This hurt me a lot because I could tell they still saw me as the clumsy and naive abused little girl I used to be. They felt pity for me and told me (lovingly) that I need to be more feminine, get contacts and get rid of my glasses, get laser hair removal sessions, get my hair done, and a brand new closet. My grandma also saw the room we were staying in when we were out for one day and she was very kind about it, but she told me I need to be more organized as a married woman.
I love them to death and I can see it is genuine and they pity me and see me almost as an orphan with no mother to guide her in marriage, but it hurt me so bad. As a kid, one of my cousins was always so feminine and organized it made me so jealous. She always had perfume on, a little but of makeup for school, her outfits always ready the night before and so on. My mom didn’t allow me to shave any part of my body until I was 16 and even then didn’t let me touch my legs with a razor and got mad if she noticed I shaved, let alone putting on makeup or doing anything extravagant to my hair (like using heat lol)
Now, I want to use their comments as motivation. How do I stop seeing self-care such as getting my hair and nails done and laser hair removal and other beauty treatments as anything but a waste of money? I love how I feel when I do get my hair done or buy new clothes, but guilt absorbs me and I feel like I’m faking being pretty. I’ve always just felt masculine and ugly. I also always thought my husband will think I’m vain and stupid for investing in beauty. It’s really hard for me to take care of myself in that way.
Any advice will be very helpful.

2025.01.26 06:40 thehairycarrot I don't want to be that guy, but is this game infested with cheaters?

I am not good at this game, but I have been trying to play Last Hero mode to get more comfortable with PvP and to get some exp. Every match there seems to be one guy just dominating getting 80-90% headshots on kills. I know the playerbase is small so I am being matched with way more experienced players, but man, almost every death no body even tags my limbs at all, its just all head and chest. Seems sus to me.

2025.01.26 06:40 luisruiz565 Where do i start?

Currently I'm feeling stuck. My only options for school is doing it online due to my personal situation.
I recently separated from the military and I want to start an online electrical engineering program at ASU, but I don't meet the admission requirements due to my poor GPA (2.3) and my low ACT score (21).
It's been around 8 years since l've graduated from high school and I'm going to be retaking my ACT in two weeks, but I don't expect to score that much higher on it.
Are there any other online schools that look past high school performance or give me a chance at working towards getting an electrical engineering degree?
I'm feeling very motivated about starting school but my past performance in highschool is keeping me back
I want to start school as soon as I can and I wouldn't mind taking supplemental classes either I just don't know what my options are

2025.01.26 06:40 Soggy_Break_9246 I need someone to read my sample of a book I'm writing! (Gay Chapter)

I'm looking for someone who likes to read to give me some good criticism on my book, it's a gay chapter in the book, and I need to make sure it's conveying, it's detailed enough, well written, and make sure that the gay sex scene later in the chapter is good too. Also I want to make sure that the characters still feel real and gay, not feeling stereotypical, (Jordan is based off myself and my own personal reactions to things as a bottom), and Eli is based off of my inner fantasy and a mix of some real men I have been with and how they acted (I'm a gay black male bottom lol). Please just give it a look, it's not super long I just need some real opinions. Help me gay bros!!! I can't post the pdf so I'll have to put the whole chapter here, my bad 😭
Chapter 13 – The Hollow’s Temptation (Jordan’s POV)
The library at Timely Academy was a paradox of chaos and order.
The shelves stretched endlessly, stacked with books that whispered to each other, floating scrolls that rearranged themselves, and a particularly judgmental encyclopedia that had smacked me on the forehead when I questioned its accuracy.
But right now, I wasn’t here to marvel at the library’s impossible design.
I was here to win.
Kriv’Nak’s challenge was no joke, and I wasn’t about to let some four-eyed alien humiliate me in front of an audience. I had spent the last hour memorizing battle strategies, analyzing past theory duels, and sketching out counterarguments. My brain was in overdrive.
Then, of course—Eli showed up to ruin it.
“Let me guess,” his voice drawled from behind me. “You’re preparing for your big nerd duel?”
I sighed. “It’s not a duel. It’s an intellectual and magical theory match.”
“Oh, my bad.” He slid into the seat across from me, smirking. “You’re preparing for your big nerd-off.”
I shot him a glare. “Shouldn’t you be off plotting some illegal Hollow activities or whatever it is you do in your free time?”
Eli grinned. “Actually, I came to check on my newest potential recruit.”
I narrowed my eyes. “I haven’t agreed to anything.”
“Yet,” he corrected smoothly. “But you didn’t shut me down immediately at breakfast. That tells me you’re at least thinking about it.”
I paused. Damn it. He was right.
I sighed, closing my book. “Look, I’m not gonna pretend I’m not curious. I just don’t know if it’s my thing.”
Eli propped his chin on his hand. “And what exactly do you think your thing is?”
I hesitated. This wasn’t a conversation I’d ever actually had out loud before.
But something about Eli made it feel… okay.
“I think…” I exhaled sharply, running a hand through my hair. “I think I might be bi.”
Eli’s expression didn’t change—no surprise, no shock, just… understanding.
“I’ve thought about it before,” I continued, voice lower now. “Back in high school, there was this guy. I noticed him, but I pushed it away. I was too focused on school, on being ‘the smart one.’” I huffed. “Romance was never really a priority for me. But now, being here… I have time to actually figure out what I want.”
Eli leaned forward slightly. “And you think The Hollow might help with that?”
I shrugged. “Maybe. I just… I don’t know where to start.”
A slow, knowing smirk spread across Eli’s lips.
“Well, lucky for you,” he said, his voice dropping just slightly, “I happen to be very good at helping people figure things out.”
Eli drummed his fingers on the table. “Look, you’re not exactly a by-the-book rule-follower.”
I snorted. “Haven’t you said that already?”
He grinned. “You didn't let me finish. You are calculated. You like to have control. You’re not someone who jumps in blindly—you want to know what you’re getting into before you take the leap.”
I shifted in my chair, a little unnerved by how well he was reading me. “And?”
“And The Hollow is whatever you want it to be.”
His voice had shifted—lower, more deliberate.
I suddenly felt very aware of how close he was sitting.
Eli’s gaze flickered over me, and for the first time, I noticed something different in the way he was looking at me.
It wasn’t just casual teasing.
It was something else.
Something intentional.
And that was when I really saw him.
I had noticed before that Eli was attractive, but I had never actually thought about it. Now, with his full attention on me, I couldn’t help but take in the details.
His skin was a warm caramel, smooth and practically glowing under the library’s enchanted lights. His face had that effortless charm—sharp jawline, high cheekbones, a smirk that was equal parts dangerous and inviting.
And then there was his hair—soft, dark curls that looked way too touchable.
I swallowed hard, suddenly way too aware of every little movement he made.
Eli caught my expression and smirked. “What’s that look for?”
I cleared my throat. “Nothing.”
“Mmhmm.” He tilted his head. “So, since you’re figuring things out… let me ask you something important.”
I tensed. “What?”
He leaned in, resting his chin on his palm. “Are you a top or a bottom?”
I choked on air. “Excuse me?!”
Eli laughed. “It’s a valid question!”
“I—I don’t know, okay?” I muttered, suddenly flustered. “I mean, I’ve done some… research.”
Eli raised an eyebrow. “Research?”
I hesitated.
Then realization dawned on his face.
“Oh my god.” His grin turned downright wicked. “And by research, you actually mean porn?”
I groaned. “Shut up.”
“I knew you nerds were secretly horny deep down.”
I scowled. “Is this what you came here for? To bully me?”
Eli smirked. “You walked right into it.” He stretched lazily, then added, “For the record, I’m a verse top. So that could work if you want it to.”
I inhaled sharply.
Okay. That was a lot of information.
I needed to think about something else.
Fast.
My brain latched onto the first distraction it could find.
Xenon.
I hadn’t seen her since our first training session. And that was weird, right?
She was supposed to be the one "making sure we didn’t die in training." And yet, she was nowhere to be found.
That was… odd.
And now that I was thinking about her, another thought crept in.
If I did go to The Hollow—if I did explore this side of myself—would that complicate things?
I wasn’t sure how I felt about Xenon yet, but I knew I had been attracted to her when we first met. There had been something there.
But if I went to The Hollow…
Would that make things messy later?
“Jordan.”
I blinked.
Eli was waving a hand in front of my face. “Hey, you good? You zoned out for a second.”
I shook myself back to reality. “Yeah, I—sorry. Just thinking.”
Eli smirked. “You should really stop doing that.”
I huffed. “Yeah, well, it’s a bad habit.”
He pushed his chair back, standing. “Think on my offer. If you want to find out what you’re missing, meet me outside the east hall at midnight.”
He winked.
And then he was gone.
I sat in my dorm, staring at the enchanted clock on the wall.
11:47 PM.
I should have been asleep. I should have been resting for my next day of training. I should have been doing literally anything else besides sitting here, debating whether I was about to sneak out past curfew to explore an underground secret society known for its mysterious exchanges, magical duels, and discreet hookups.
But here I was.
Eli’s words from earlier looped in my head.
"If you want to find out what you’re missing, meet me outside the east hall at midnight."
I exhaled sharply, running a hand through my hair. This was stupid. I didn’t do things like this. I was the responsible one. The logical one. The one who thought things through.
And yet, here I was, already pulling on my jacket.
Maybe it was the intrigue. Maybe it was the fact that for the first time in a long time, I wanted to do something just because I wanted to.
Maybe it was Eli.
Either way, I was already out the door.
Eli was waiting at the entrance of The Hollow, looking like he owned the place.
Before we could step inside, a tall, hooded figure blocked the way. His robe shimmered with protective wards, his hands crackling with golden energy.
“The Hollow is for adults only,” the gatekeeper said in a deep, rumbling voice. “State your ages.”
“Relax, old man,” Eli smirked. “I’m nineteen.”
The gatekeeper’s eyes flickered, and a pulse of magic swept over Eli’s body, verifying his claim.
The man turned to me. “And you?”
I hesitated for half a second. “Eighteen.”
A similar pulse of magic rolled over me, tingling against my skin before fading.
The gatekeeper nodded. “You may enter.”
“See?” Eli nudged me playfully. “No turning back now.”
I exhaled and stepped forward.
The passage leading down to The Hollow was darker than I expected.
Not just dark—wrong.
Magic buzzed in the air, thick and electric, pressing against my skin like a living thing. The walls pulsed with faintly glowing runes, shifting as we walked, whispering unintelligible words.
Eli chuckled. “First time?”
I scoffed. “What gave it away?”
“The way you keep looking over your shoulder like something’s about to eat you.”
I frowned. “Is something about to eat me?”
Eli just grinned.
We stepped through an arched doorway—and suddenly, the passage opened into something vast.
I stopped breathing.
It was a city beneath the school.
An underground labyrinth of glowing sigils, floating platforms, and twisting staircases leading to places I couldn’t even begin to comprehend. The ceiling stretched impossibly high, lined with shimmering constellations that shouldn’t exist.
Hundreds of students moved through the streets—some masked, some veiled in shadow, some practically glowing with magic.
Everywhere I looked, forbidden exchanges were happening.
In one corner, a student whispered incantations over a crystal ball, the air around them warping with visions of something unseen.
Further down, a group was engaged in a high-stakes magical duel, the ground beneath them cracking with energy.
And then there were the others.
The ones who leaned in close, whispered in low voices, disappearing behind curtained doorways and hidden corridors.
This place was alive—thrumming with magic, secrecy, and temptation.
Eli stepped beside me.
“Welcome to The Hollow.”
I swallowed hard.
Eli led me through the winding paths, navigating effortlessly while I tried not to look as overwhelmed as I felt.
“So?” he asked, smirking. “What do you think?”
“It’s…” I struggled to find the right word. “A lot.”
Eli chuckled. “Yeah, it can be. But it’s also freeing.”
I shot him a look. “Freeing?”
He gestured around us. “Look at them, Jordan. No one here is pretending to be something they’re not. No professors breathing down your neck, no expectations. Just people doing what they want.”
I hesitated.
Because… wasn’t that kind of what I wanted?
For once, to stop thinking about what I was supposed to do and just—be.
Eli’s gaze flickered over me, and I felt that tension again—the same one from the library.
“You wanted to figure things out,” he said, voice low. “I told you I could help.”
I exhaled. “And how exactly do you plan to do that?”
His smirk deepened.
“Follow me.”
I didn’t hesitate this time.
Eli led me into a hidden alcove, away from the noise of the main hollow. The space was dimly lit, the air thicker, warmer.
He turned to me, leaning casually against the wall, but there was something in his expression –something almost challenging.
“I'll make it easy for you,” he murmured. “One kiss, see how it feels”
My brain short-circuited. “I–”
“No pressure,” he added, but his gaze never wavered.
I had spent my entire life making decisions logically. Calculating every outcome, weighing every possibility.
This time I didn't think.
I just moved.
The second my lips meet his, my chest tightened –not in panic, not in uncertainty. In something else entirely.
Eli let out a small, satisfied hum, his hands gripping my waist lightly, not forcing, just grounding.
Then he pulled me closer.
The heat between us built quickly. His hands roamed over my back, and before I knew it, my own fingers were tangling in his curls.
He exhaled against my skin. “Your tense.”
“I –,” I swallowed, “I don't normally do this.”
“Then let me guide you.”
What followed was a slow unraveling.
Eli’s fingers found the clasp of my robe, tugging it loose. The fabric slid down my arms pooling at my feet. He then found my belt buckle to my pants that always wear under my robe and undid the buckle, smoothly helping me remove my pants, revealing my naked body. My breath hitched.
His hands were on my bare skin now, warm and deliberate.
I hesitated, my fingers grazing the edges of his robe.
Eli grinned. “Go ahead.”
I took a slow breath and pulled his robe off, revealing the tones definition of his body – lean muscle, smooth caramel skin, and a large item between his legs I couldn't help but eyeball.
He smirked at my lingering stare. “See something you like?”
I swallowed but didn't deny it.
Eli stepped closer, voice dropping lower. “You still overthinking?”
I exhaled sharply. “Maybe.”
He chuckled, pressing his lips against my collar bone, sending a shiver through me. “Let's fix that.”
His hands trailed lower, teasing, and I let myself melt into the sensation.
I wasn't sure how much time had passed before I found myself laying back on the soft alcove cushions, Eli hovering over me, lips brushing over my jaw.
I could feel the anticipation tighten in my chest.
Eli’s thumb traced my hip. “You good?”
I nodded, then hesitated.
“There's um…” I cleared my throat, heat rising in my face, “Do you –do you have lube?”
Eli blinked, then his smirk exploded into a wicked grin.
“What's your favorite flavor?”
My brain short-circuited again.
I gawked at him. “I –what?”
Eli chuckled, reaching into a small enchanted pouch beside him. He pulled out a small glass vital filled with shimmering liquid.
“This one’s strawberry.” He pulled out another. “Vanilla. Oh, and here's honey.”
I stared at him. “Why –why do you have flavored lube?”
Eli winked. “Tastes better when giving head.”
I instantly regretted asking.
The heat in my face spread down to my chest, my brain struggling to process coherent thoughts.
Eli laughed. “Gods, you are adorable when you get flustered.”
I buried my face in my hands. “This is the worst moment of my life.”
“No,” he teased, leaning in close, “this is the moment you realize you're a submissive bottom.”
I choked. “EXCUSE ME!?”
Eli just grinned. “Oh yeah, the way you react? The way you hesitate, all nervous, waiting for me to take the lead?” he dragged his lips over my throat, making me shiver. “You love it.”
I had zero defense for that.
Because he wasn't lying, and he damn for sure wasn't wrong.
Eli pulled back slightly, watching me carefully. His expression softened. “You sure about this?”
I took a slow breath.
Then nodded.
Eli smirked. “Good.”
What followed was slow, deliberate, and undeniably intense.
Eli was attentive, reading my reactions easily, coaxing me through every new sensation.
The warmth of his touch, the heat of his mouth. The slow teasing drag of fingers that left me aching for more.
He took his time, letting me adjust, making sure I was comfortable and wanting.
And then–we moved together.
The rhythm of it, the way my body reacted to him–it was overwhelming in the best way possible.
I gasped, gripping onto his arms, feeling entirely undone.
Eli exhaled sharply, pressing soft kisses along my jaw, my throat, my chest. His voice was a whisper against my skin.
“Relax, I got you.”
And he did.
By the time we reached the peak, I was shattered in the best way possible.
Afterward, we lay tangled together on the alcove cushions, breathless and dazed.
Eli was grinning like he just won a bet.
I was still trying to process the fact that this actually happened.
Eli lazily draped an arm over me. “Sooo…”
I blinked at him, still feeling like my brain had been fried. “What?”
He smirked. “Did I do a good job?”
I gawked at him. “You’re seriously asking that?”
He stretched smugly. “Hey, first impressions matter.”
I buried my face in the pillow.
Eli chuckled, brushing his fingers through my hair. “So?”
I hesitated—then admitted, shyly but happily,
“…Yeah. It was good.”
Eli grinned like a cat with cream.
“Knew it,” he said smugly, then continued, “but a little advice. Next time you decide to sleep with someone, make sure you ask them about their sexual history beforehand, and also if you both want to use condoms,” Eli said, looking at me with that same smirk again.
I lifted my face slightly out of the pillow. “Isn't this something you should have mentioned to me before we just did what we did?” I said, a bit worried now.
“Oh no it's not like that, I'm safe. I don't have anything,” Eli replied, face softening again. “I have been on Prep for a few years now, as well as always having frequent visits to be checked for other sexually transmitted diseases. Only reason I didn’t ask you, is because I knew you were a virgin,” Eli said, giving me an all knowing cocky look.
“Yeah, and you can read minds. You know everything about me don't you,” I said embarrassed that he wasn't wrong, but I continued, “Thank you for the information though. I didn't know all that stuff. I would rather not get with everyone though, I think I would rather only do this with you for now.”
“Ohhh, so you want to go again sometime, is what you're saying?”
“Shut up!” I said again, returning my face back to its pillow grave.
“But hey, I'm serious. I'm here for you as a friend, not just a bed warmer. I can help you set up a medical plan here at the school so you can be safe as well. Even if it's you only doing this with me, I would rather you be safe and take precautions if they are there to offer.”
“I –thank you,” I said, shocked by Eli's genuine concern for my well being.
Before tonight I thought Eli was just some guy who was into illegal activities on campus that he wanted to get others into. But now I see him as a friend I can trust… and a good bed warmer.
“Also, I didn't want you to have your first time ruined by a rubber, I wanted you to truly feel all of me, and judging by the sounds you made, you definitely did,” Eli said, laughing.
“I'm gonna strangle you,” I replied, but I wasn’t mad, I was far from it.
By the time I made it back to my dorm, the thrill of the night still hummed through my veins.
I barely had time to process everything that had just happened before I realized—
Shelly was waiting.
She sat on her bed, arms crossed, looking me up and down.
“Have a good time?”
I jumped.
Shit.

2025.01.26 06:40 flower5214 Why so Americans cling to heritage?

Americans claim they are proud Americans but in same breath claim to be Irish / Scottish/ Polish, when they've never even been to said countries and argue with people from those countries claiming to know more about the culture than the actual ones who live there.
Also can't understand their obsession with DNA testing to see where they are from .
