  1. We shall have standards of behavior towards each other i.e. we greet each other when meeting etc, and one can criticize others for being impolite or rude, but what others think and do that does not directly involve the person they are interacting with is nothing of their concern. So, simple questions: 1. what is it to anyone if I had it with one or one thousand? 2. why would having many sexual partners make someone a better or worse person (as a "moral" judgment automatically implies) ? 3. what drives such a judgement? Especially the last part. If I heard about the guy who had 1000 partners. I would wonder about whether there are any deep rooted psychological issues at hand and if really not, I would wonder how he achieved that. But I would never dare thinking him being a bad person for that reason. For me, "morals" mean judgement, and I really think the world would be a better place with less of that.
  2. Your language app must be powered by KI... What random sentences it produces.
  3. Yes, that is exactly why I asked. we learned that in school, but how much of a plot shall be revealed in a review? I think not much, especially no spoilers. It seems that a review has two different audiences: the author as feedback and the "usual" readers in the sense of "is this worth it", right?
  4. What should a good review contain?
  5. Well, I sincerely hope they do! Allow me to ask whether you yourself have ever been in a managerial position or a position of authority towards others? Every company leadership withholds information. I personally, as manager, have lied: "I am not aware of any redundancies planned." If I had answered the employee question truthfully, we would have lost three months of productivity, because people would thought about nothing else but impending doom. Evil? In absolute terms, yes, I lied. Necessary for managing people and breaking such news at the appropriate time? Yes, absolutely. What was the appropriate time? Well, that was defined by "those in the know" aka management. Now, imagine "they" were in talks with extraterrestrials. Imagine this news headline: "Government makes technology deal with aliens". Can you imagine what would happen to any technology share on Earth? Worthless within a minute. What happens to all the (pension) funds that hold such shares? Worthless! What happens to the banks that hold credit against such companies/funds? Bankrupt! Can you imagine the economic cataclysm such a revelation would entail? So, yes, please keep it secret and release in doses (maybe in small technological advances, as suggested here)! Now, if all of this was true, what has been the damage done from "not knowing all at once"?
  6. 85 and producing that much. Wow! Keep going!
  7. One says that time heals all wounds, however, I am still waiting for some healing on some points... As for what one knows ... I found that people would do better with realizing what they do not know .. Well, that for me that would be boring. OAuth token management somehow does not make a nice story All the best, Law

    Chapter 1

    All parts
  9. Not an easy read, a real traumatizing memory. Few tales have left me so angry.

    Chapter 1

    Yes, I agree fully!
  11. Meet Olli who does everything to fulfill his dream, maybe too much. Beautifully written, one can feel with the character.

    Story

    First of all, this is really well written and the surprise at the end was unexpected. However, it probably explains the "no bottoming" rule. But, the boss fires people because they are too old or speak up, does not pay clear work time, and worse, performs sexual assault on employees, that is not funny but criminal. Maybe there is a reference that I do not get (Southpark was mentioned), but what people have to endure to get a job...
  13. @Valkyrie, und warum lernst du Deutsch?
  14. Exactly!

    Chapter 1

    Well written, thank you. In my last two years in the police, the cutbacks had affected so much that they asked us Specials to help with VISOR duties, the monitoring of sex offenders. My crew mate, in his fifties, very experienced, went for it. My husband fortunately put in a veto. The people he met were bad in the truest sense of the word. The poor officers having to deal with them should be replaced every two years max
  16. Well, it is dangerous, because even right now people cannot distinguish between sources or do any research. Now, if Bing or Google "said so", it will become an utter nightmare...

    Chapter 28

    Great chapter in a very good story. Just a question about Casey's first. There is a name Rollie and a Terry. Did I miss that he had had two?
  18. I came to this story from the author's interview here: Worth a read!
  19. If you are not a native English speaker, the mystery that you created in the first chapter was really masterful. It was not written, not obvious, but, at least for me, clearly there. Well, maybe because I am not a native speaker either... I wondered about 12 inches (30 cm), not 11 Somehow I doubt that such a length is a blessing. Ok, I will take it for face value, let's read on. Thx for answering!
  20. Touche Well, sorry, I have been tainted to look for hidden meanings and interpretations. One reason I struggle with "literature" is "hidden meanings". I remember discussing in school a Hemingway scene about a red sundown whose description stretched nearly two pages. The interpretation was even longer, so I asked the teacher that if Hemingway wanted to say all these things why did he not write that down?

    Alone 4

    As for the general situation and your making it through, I cannot say anything that has not been said before. My deepest respect! This stands in stark contrast to this lowlife that dares wearing the uniform. As former police officer myself I am utterly, utterly disgusted! Reading this made me so angry! I can only urge you to report him, even after all this time, because who knows what this criminal in uniform is up to in addition to that! It may well be that such a report will lead to an investigation that exposes him.
  22. Ok, some explanations, thank you. I just wonder about these enormous dicks. Is there any reason for that? Also, in this chapter, Jeffrey is described as 12 inches (is that anatomically even possible ?), and I seem to remember that in a previous chapter it was described as 9 inches. Maybe check.
  23. That was a very interesting read, because my default filter for stories is "completed"... So, I thought about why that is, apart from a part in my techie brain stating "that is obvious, a stiry must have a closure". I think that for me the answer is twofold: 1. It is the time necessary to invest into something unknown. But is that not the case with every new story? 2. Remembering exactly what happened before to jump back "in" some time later. But can the author not "pack/roll up" a chapter nicely? Hm... still unsure...

    Chapter 1

    Yes, please make a series. There must be more interesting stories.
  25. Can you give any sources with evidence, direct or indirect, for your claim? You have a "dr" in your nick, do you have a PhD or have you ever made a scientific publication? I am not trying to anger you or anyone else. I find making such a statement without any supporting evidence very dangerous. People like us (assumption here, sorry if assuming that you are LGBTQ+ is incorrect) are very quickly at the receiving end of statements made without any supporting evidence like "all homos are pedophiles."
