CONSEQUENCES OF THE EARN IT ACT
It will be functionally illegal to discuss sexual and GRSM issues
Opens the door to law enforcement monitoring Internet traffic, which means that more moderation will be legally enforced in the future, including censoring of other religions, ethnic groups, or speech against the EARN IT committee and its affiliated parties
US based companies such as Google may be forced to remove GRSM and other non-harmful sexual content from their search engine thus decreasing visibility by a significant amount
YouTube, owned by Alphabet Inc., parent company of Google, will also be forced to remove or terminate existing channels resulting in many well-known content creators being forced to cancel uploading entirely
A brief example would be Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss by Vivienne Medrano and Spindlehorse.
Simply mentioning or referencing any form of "sexual" content, no matter how tame, will be risking termination à la Disney
Many subreddits, from r/lgbt to r/femboy, and r/thelastofus to r/undertale, will be censored or removed completely under grounds of featuring GRSM characters
WhatsApp, owned by Meta, an American company, will now be forced to disable end-to-end encryption or backdoor communications for law enforcement.
Discord will be forced to remove NSFW channel functionality and messages will be scanned for illegal material.
Other non-social-media websites, such as CNN will be prevented from reporting on sexual abuse cases
And to top it all off, perhaps the most significant change will be the complete whitewashing of Wikipedia, which will be forced to remove many wiki pages of content documenting genuine SA case studies, information on safe sex, the biology of contraception and possibly even the anatomy of the human reproductive system.

Hi! Can we have some context (and a lil' snippet of course 😉) of the evolutionary theory of attraction? Thank you ❤️
Oh yes, absolutely! It's inspired by this sequence from the Imperfects, a Netflix show where one of the characters' superpower is emitting very powerful pheromones. So everyone in her vicinity develops an unstoppable attraction/obsession with her. Specifically, I was inspired by the scene where she sprays a bottle of air freshener at her pursuers to break the pheromone smell and run away. 🤣 Well, I was thinking - our little Monegasque croissant already has VERY. DEVOTED. OBSESSIVE. FANS. What if we just turned that up a notch?
(Also to everyone else, I see your requests in my inbox! Have to bolt after this one but I will get back to you! 🥰)
title: the evolutionary theory of attraction (aka. Charles Leclerc and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Race Weekend)
summary: Of course, it would be typical Charles Leclerc luck that his body would pick the 2022 Monza race weekend to start uncontrollably emitting pheromones. And of course the only person immune to his scent is his very secret crush rival Max Verstappen.
Later, upon reflection - after he prevented a near apocalyptic event on planet Earth, and that was hardly a hyperbole - he would say that it all went to shit in the media pen after free practice. The week had started brightly enough, and Charles at the very least thought he could hold onto some measure of hope until Sunday - as history would suggest for this calendar year, but it seemed like his race weekend took its usual plunge much earlier.
To his best recollection, it started with an innocuous moment with Max Verstappen (typical, as far as unforeseen important events in his life went). Not that Charles willed it or anything, but the contact was initiated by the Dutchman, who brushed an arm against his in the “zoo.” (A term for the media pen that Alex coined affectionately in the drivers’ WhatsApp group, comparing them to animals to be gawked at, poked, and prodded for commercial gain. Albeit, very privileged and pampered animals, as Guanyu pointed out.)
An accidental touch, of course. Out of politeness alone (Max later insisted, while Charles rolled his eyes), the Red Bull driver paused beside him, which was not usual, and Charles waited patiently to receive his usual smile and greeting, but Max didn’t do either. Instead, he scrunched his nose - still slightly sunburned from the summer break - and sniffed twice at the air around Charles, which was unquestionably unusual.
Frowning and suddenly self-conscious, Charles looked down at his slightly sweaty team polo and gave a tentative sniff of his own. Sure, he was a little sweaty, but he didn’t notice any scent other than his usual anti-perspirant.
Max blinked once, twice, and then broke out in a wide smile. The one that scrunched the corners of both of his eyes, which was not something that Charles would ever admit to noticing, but nevertheless had the resulting effect of Charles forgetting whatever thoughts had preceded that moment.
“New body spray?” teased Max. “It’s not bad.”
Charles shook his head. “Flirt,” he muttered under his breath, after making sure the nearest microphone was well out of pick up range, earning both a soft chuckle and even deeper eye crinkles from his rival. If his heart thumped a little loudly, well - he would deny it with his dying breath.
Before either of them could get another word in, Max was promptly whisked away by his press officer to attend his next interview.
Ignoring his poorly disguised disappointment, his own press officer, Mia, beckoned him from a few metres away, directing him towards Ted Kravitz from SkySports. “Last one.”
Plastering a smile to his face, Charles made his way obediently towards Ted, who started off predictably with a question about Ferrari’s recent troubles. He was about halfway through his rehearsed answer about the team working hard to fix their setup issues when it happened again.
Ted, eyes almost half glazed over with a bead of sweat forming on his hairline, turned his head back and forth and… sniffed the air.
Charles was now really starting to feel self-conscious. Faltering mid-sentence, he glanced towards Mia, wondering if she should maybe call for medical assistance for poor Ted, or at the very least give Charles an excuse to leave and take a shower. But she too scrunched her nose and stared at Charles with a half-blank expression.
Ted broke the silence first. “You smell amazing!” exclaimed the reporter.
“Uh, thanks -” he stuttered, bewildered, but Ted cut him off swiftly.
“Charles, how does it feel to be the most handsome driver in the whole paddock?” Without waiting for a response, Ted leaned in - close enough that Charles could smell the other man’s… shampoo? Hair spray? He really didn’t want to know. It took every bit of his media training to not recoil dramatically at the sudden invasion of his personal space. But the SkySports reporter was undaunted, and added, “We must get a drink together after this.”
Deciding that he no longer cared if Head of Communications Silvia Hoffer Frangipane (Mattia may be the Team Principal but Sivia is - well, the boss) showed up in the zoo herself and strangled him then and there, Charles took two stumbling steps backwards and tried to unlock his half-open jaw. Then he tried pinching his arm to wake up from this bizarre nightmare. All that accomplished was a sore arm and a wave of disappointment at the realization that he was very much awake.
Fortunately, Mia intervened. “That’s an inappropriate question -” But Charles’s relief was short-lived. “What you should be asking Charles is how it feels to be the most handsome man in the whole world.”
Charles gaped at her. Either Andrea put hallucinogens instead of vitamins into his breakfast juice, or Twitter was correct and this season has caused him to lose his last shred of sanity.
“Of course,” snapped Ted, clearly annoyed by her interjection. “Charles, I will tell you how handsome you are over dinner. And then we can go back to my hotel room.”
“Over my dead body!” screeched Mia, lunging at the reporter. “I work with Charles. I love him! I have always been in love with him.”
Charles laughed - a hollow, humourless, desperate sound - as he started backing away in earnest.
Noticing his sudden movement, Mia and Ted advanced in his direction, still clawing at each other, and he was suddenly reminded of a scene from a zombie film he dearly regretted watching. Half of the people in the media pen, drivers and reporters alike, had paused their own interviews to stare at him.
Before he could lose his nerve, Charles decided to make a run for it. Ferrari can afford paying the fine.
Predictably, with his lack of luck this season, he managed to barrel straight into Max in his haste, almost knocking both of them to the ground.
“Charles?” He sounded concerned, not grumpy, despite Charles’s best attempt at bowling. “What’s wrong?”
Charles could hear his own rapid breathing and was all too aware of how close Max’s face was to his own. The blue eyes that stared back at him were confused but not unfocused, and the warm hand on Charles’s arm made his skin tingle.
“There’s something going on -” he started, but a new unwelcome touch on his cheek caused him to flinch.
Max’s press officer was no longer next to her charge, but pressed against Charles. “Oh my darling,” she tittered at Charles. “Are you hurt?” She nuzzled - actually nuzzled - his cheek, and Charles nearly swallowed a strand of her hair. “Show me where,” she cooed, unperturbed. “I’ll kiss it better.”
“Okay, what the fuck -” cursed the Red Bull driver, eyes wide in disbelief.
Wrenching his arm out of Max’s grasp, Charles bolted.

EU’s proposed Chat Control law has become a bone of contention between members of the bloc. First proposed by the European Commissioner for Home Affairs Ylva Johansson in May 2022 as part of bloc’s push to combat child sexual abuse online, the framework of the bill has now come under fire, earning itself a derisive term “Chat Control”.
France, Germany and Poland have particularly refused to accept a clause that allows for mass scanning of private messages by breaking end-to-end encryption. Some tech companies, along with trade associations, and privacy experts have all vehemently opposed the regulation.
On the other hand, Interior Ministers of Spain and Ireland have supported the proposal. Separately, a network of organisations and individuals, advocating for children’s rights in Europe, have lashed out at EU leaders for failing to tackle child sexual abuse online.
What are the concerns of those against the proposal?
Scanning end-to-end encrypted messages has remained a controversial issue. That’s because there is no way to do this without opening risky backdoors that can be accessed by third parties who can exploit the vulnerability, in turn ending the promise of end-to-end encryption.
Tech firms that treaded the encryption bypassing path have have often been made to retreat. In 2021, Apple announced NeuralHash, a feature that could automatically scan iCloud photo libraries of individual devices for child sexual abuse material, or CSAM. Employees and activist groups expressed concerns over the loss of privacy. A year later, Apple said it had abandoned the initiative.
Another looming issue the iPhone maker recognised in the process was how authoritarian governments could potentially misuse the feature by using it as a tool to target individuals who oppose the regime.
Erik Neuenschwander, Director of user privacy and child safety at Apple, admitted this in a note saying, “It would […] inject the potential for a slippery slope of unintended consequences. Scanning for one type of content, for instance, opens the door for bulk surveillance and could create a desire to search other encrypted messaging systems across content types.”
When brining in a similar clause through the UK’s Online Safety Bill, lawmakers attempted to make way for client-side scanning of private and encrypted messages. The proposal was postponed after receiving pushback from encrypted messaging app owners like WhatsApp and Signal. The duo threatened to leave the UK if such a law was passed. In its final stages, in September, 2023, the House of Lords considered the potential security threat that the clause would bring saying it would not implement scanning until it was “technically feasible.”
What is the status of EU’s Chat Control law?
On June 30, a new draft of the proposal is set to be be reviewed. Legislators have now left the idea of scanning text messages and audio, and are instead targetting shared photos, videos and URLs with an adjustment to appease the naysayers.
Another tweak in the making could be people’s consent in sharing material being scanned before being encrypted. But this compromise has been largely called out as a farcical one. A report by Euractiv which has been confirmed by internal documents show that if a user refuses the scanning, they will simply be blocked from sending or receiving images, videos and links hardly leaving them with a choice.
Despite these measures, EU’s enforcement of such regulations have seen exemptions to the rule. In November 2023, the European Commission reportedly published a proposal to amend the regulation on a temporary derogation of the E-Privacy Directive against CSAM. Under the regulation, specific online communications service providers were allowed to sift through or scan messages to detect, report and remove online child sexual abuse material or CSAM and content that solicits children. The regulation is set to expire in early August . The initial plan on the table was to simply extend this regulation for another three years. But, according to media reports, plans for further extensions were stalled in February this year.
Meredith Whittaker, President of Signal app called the measures to assuage concerns as “cosmetic”, and has signed a joint statement along with a group of over 60 other organisations like Mozilla, Proton, Surfshark and Tuta, voicing out her concerns. Whittaker has echoed her earlier warning saying Signal will leave the UK rather than undermine end-to-end encryption.
A blog, co-authored by Riana Pfefferkorn, a research scholar at the Stanford Internet Observatory and Callum Voge, director of government affairs and advocacy at the Internet Society, notes, ”If government surveillance is a concern in an established democratic entity like the EU, what hope is there for beleaguered democracies like Turkey, India and Brazil, much less autocracies?”

Two friends might've invited me to an mlm scam or the closest to an mlm scam that's legal here
And it's wild, very funny. Including door to door sales tactics, whatsapp groups, promises how rich you can get, promises that you get paid more per client the more active clients you have, pitches how you're doing something good for people so you definitely should do more of it (go door to door I'm telling ya!!!), and regular updates about the top door to door earners in the whatsapp group
I can't gather much atp, but the fact that you get better provisions by having more clients and you do get an additional provision for everyone working under you that seals a contract/earns a provision is very telling to me. Like those that pull more people into the incredible ineffective door to door sales system earn the most money, more than anyone actually doing sales.
So you wanna adopt people and make them sweat more than anything else, as long as they're active under you and not independently. The only upside is that you can make contracts with yourself through this company, which is nice, update utility contracts safe a few bucks and get paid, but it really isn't worth any effort. I don't buy that this is good, or worth exerting myself for

Paulatim sed Firmiter (Slowly but Surely) - Friday night
Warnings: violence, use of slurs
Tags (because they asked!): @glitterypirateduck @letsreadallday
Mood: https://youtu.be/s6jbRRt0wug
Previous / Masterlist / Next
Friday night
In fact, Price had been right. There was a trap.
Gaz had had the epiphany the very same night that Riot texted about the issue on the Super Sergeants WhatsApp group. This was a bullying issue, and as such, it would be treated as any other type of bullying, wether it be on the school playground or on a military base.
With force and public scorn.
As an elder brother, Kyle Garrick had had his fair share of dealings with bullies, both defending himself and his younger siblings, and sometimes his friends. As the youngest sibling, Johnny MacTavish had faced the same predicament, blooding more than one nose in the proccess. And as a only child, Christine Vega had dealt with her own problems and taunts, and protecting the few friends she had.
In their experience, different as it was, the only definitive way of dealing with bullies was fighting back. Hard.
And that was why they had plotted and planned the whole of Monday evening, and had set it in motion during the rest of the week, waiting for it to culminate on that night.
It had been Gaz the one who had innocently mentioned to some of his own training privates how nice would it be to all go for a drink together to the village pub. He had made sure to say it out loud in the canteen, sitting at the table right next to some of the Army Air Corps Sergeants, among which where the three idiots that Soap, Riot and himself had beaten during the training class.
Gaz was aware of his reputation of being the Task Force 141’s respectful, balanced, calm Sergeant. A reputation that he had carefully cultivated like the most delicate and fragile flower. Much to Soap’s chagrin, he was never caught doing the same shit as he did, both because he had more finesse and because come on, who would believe Sergeant Garrick was capable of that?
And now, stading outside of the village pub with Soap, Riot and Gabi, Gaz felt pleased. The privates were having fun, either inside the pub or outside in the terrace like them, and the night was lovely. Everything according to plan.
‘‘They may not come’’ Gabi smiled, adorable as always with her freckles and her auburn curls. Johnny’s arm was around her shoulders and she was snuggled comfortably against his warm side, holding her drink.
‘‘That would be for the best, but it won’t happen’’ Riot shrugged, with her own drink in one hand and a lit cigarette in the other. ‘‘Too stupid’’
‘‘I agree with Christine’’ Gaz nodded, his own drink mostly finished by then. Soap simply nodded, too busy kissing Gabi’s hair and temple while she giggled, way too happy to have her in his arms again after a couple of weeks of her being absent with Laswell.
They had had to leave the inside of the pub shortly after arriving, because otherwise the privates would have treated them to endless rounds. The three of them had only had one beer, and then stuck to non alcoholic beverages just in case. If Price found out that they were drunk, or even just tipsy, while babysitting a bunch of young privates, their hides would be hung from the flag pole the next morning.
‘‘How’s Laswell been treating you, Gabi?’’ Gaz nudged the redhead’s side, earning a giggle when he unintendedly pushed her more into Soap’s side.
‘‘It’s been tiring, honestly, processing data night and day’’ She smiled, humming softly while feeling Johnny’s lips brushing her ear. ‘‘She’s obsessed with hunting down Shepherd. I could only come back here because she took a free week, or was forced to, I don’t know’’
‘‘Was everything alright at home or was it just normal leave?’’
Gabi looked at Christine when she asked, but she was seemingly more interested in observing the privates having fun.
‘‘I know she went home, wherever that is, but she was acting normal when she left’’
Riot nodded slowly, toying with the glass in her hand and remembering Price’s insistence to return Kate’s calls. Maybe she should. Maybe she should let go of her anger and call to see that her friend was alright and nothing had happened to force her to take a free week all of a sudden.
‘‘You’ve been friends for long?’’ Gabi’s hazel-green eyes were on her, and she was forced to return to reality, nodding.
‘‘Since I started working in HeadHunters. She directed my very first op as squad leader’’ Riot shrugged, tilting her glass towards a couple of privates that passed by while smiling at them and waving. ‘‘By the third mission we went out for drinks to celebrate… Rico was pissed’’
‘‘Why?’’
‘‘He didn’t want us grunts to have any kind of relation with Headquarters, Command, Watchers, or anyone of the sorts. Everything had to be through him, and him only. Orders, paperwork, intel, whatever.’’ She took a swig of her drink and then put the cigarette between her lips, her face sour with the memory of her previous Captain. ‘‘So of course everything was a shitshow, and we got things done by the skin of our teeth’’
‘‘You spent three months in the hospital because of his stupidity’’ Soap grumbled, his face still buried in Gabi’s hair, but his free hand gripped Riot’s, lacing their fingers and squeezing. She squeezed his hand back.
‘‘You should call her… or at least text her back’’ Gabi commented, completely unbothered by the fact that her boyfriend was holding hands with his best friends, and nudged her side with her index finger. ‘‘You’d make my life easier’’
‘‘I’ll think about it’’ Riot nodded, her eyes wandering around again, listening to the sound of the privates having fun, the faint music coming from inside the pub… ‘‘Gaz?’’
‘‘I see them’’ He answered, sipping his drink. Even Soap raised his head to look, and Gabi curiously turned her head as well, wanting to know who they were seeing.
Four Sergeants from the Army Air Corps had arrived to the pub, much to the disgust of some of the privates outside, who swiftly moved closer to the 141 Sergeants.
‘‘Vega…’’ The younger woman who had asked about feeling guilty in the first lesson looked nervous, scooting closer to Riot, who nodded, finishing her drink with a long swig.
‘‘That’s the 141’’ One of the AAC Sergeants nudged another, who looked taller than Ghost but not as big. ‘‘The ones that beat Morris, Bentley and Sullivan’’
The tall one grinned unpleasantly, looking at them directly.
‘‘Ah, yes, I’ve heard of them… didn’t know MacTavish and Garrick could pull women like that’’ He whistled softly, eyeing Gabi up and down before finding Vega’s cold eyes. ‘‘Ah, no, only one woman and Scarface’’
Riot didn’t react at the insult, calmly taking the lit cigarette to her lips, seemingly unaffected. But Soap knew well her enough to detect the slight drop of her shoulders and how her eyes twitched. Gabi was even more offended and looked at the man directly.
‘‘You’re a fucking asshole, go away, you creep!’’
The tall Sergeant only laughed. One of his mates was looking around nervously.
‘‘What if he is here? He’ll have our asses’’
‘‘Nah, the freak’s not here, heard he’s deployed’’ Laughing, the four of them walked to the pub’s door.
Gaz and Soap stared until they couldn’t see them anymore, the Scotsman still hugging Gabriela close and seething, and Garrick calculating their odds.
‘‘Well, he sure is charming. For what Davies told me, that’s Sergeant Henry Maynard, the ‘leader’ of their little merry band, and the one who beat him’’
‘‘Mine’’ Riot growled, slowly removing her leather jacket and handing it over to Gabi. Freak? Freak? She’d cave his fucking smug face in.
‘‘He’s bigger than you’’ Gabi whispered, holding Riot’s jacket tightly against her body with both hands.
‘‘Más pesados caen’’ She rolled her shoulders, taking a long puff of her cigarette, her eyes locked onto the pub’s door. Gaz was taking his own jacket off as well, smirking.
‘‘What did she say?’’
‘‘The harder they fall’’ Gabi translated, sighing and holding Gaz’s jacket as well, and then Johnny’s when he also took his off. ‘‘Really? The three of you? You’re going to get in so much trouble’’
‘‘There won’t be any trouble if they don’t start shit’’ Gaz shrugged, storing his watch inside his jacket’s pocket, while Riot and Soap were doing the same. ‘‘They only have to behave and we all will go back to base unscathed’’
‘‘You three have antagonized them the whole week and now you think they won’t try anything when all the privates are here and…’’ Gabi stopped talking and then turned to face Riot, her hazel-green eyes wide. ‘‘You set them up!’’
Christine gave her a tight, cold wolvish grin.
‘‘You can’t hunt without bait’’
*
Inside the pub the mood instantly soured when the four AAC Sergeants made their entrance. Not even the local villagers liked them, nor did the soldiers from other branches present. And specially, not the privates.
‘‘Ostie que je suis tanné! (I’m so goddamn tired of this)’’ Grizzly swore, towering over his mates. He was standing near the bar counter with Williams and Ibekwe and some others, all of them gathered around Davies. The battered private had been allowed to return to their quarters, and had been easily persuaded to go along with them to the pub, with the promise of having the three Sergeants watching over them.
‘‘Relax, Edouard, they want us to react’’ Williams shook her head, but all their eyes were following the four AAC Sergeants as they approached the bartender. ‘‘After Soap, Gaz and Riot beat those three, they’re out for blood’’
‘‘If they try something with any of you again I swear to God…’’
‘‘Easy there, remember what Gaz told us’’ Ibekwe whispered, watching how a couple of women sitting at the bar counter got up and left. ‘‘Do not answer to their taunts, and the moment they try something, to go out and look for them’’
‘‘I’ll break his fucking nose’’ Grizzly glared at the AAC Sergeants. He was the tallest and biggest of the privates, and it mortified him that there had been problems and he hadn’t been able to put a stop to it. He was reprimanded by Gaz twice that very week, reminding him that he absolutely could not beat a superior officer, as much as they could deserve it. To leave it to them.
‘‘You’ll do no such thing’’ Davies said calmly, holding their empty glass and avoiding to look that way. ‘‘Vega would skin you alive’’
‘‘I don’t care!’’
A yelp caught their attention, and they all turned to see a local girl getting away from the bar counter, flustered, and the four AAC Sergeants laughing. Grizzly growled and stepped forward, only to be pushed back by two other privates.
The movement caught the eye of the tallest of them, Maynard, and he smirked.
‘‘Got a problem, ginger?’’
Grizzly snorted like a mad bull, trying to wriggle free from his friends. Both Ibekwe and Williams tried to push him back, alarmed.
‘‘Edouard, Eddie, come on, ignore them…’’
‘‘Yeah, Eddie… oh wait, you’re Edouard Petit, right?’’ The AAC Sergeant laughed. ‘‘Doesn’t that mean ‘small’ in French?... You’re taller than me, so what’s small in there?’’
‘‘Really, mate?’’ One of the male privates trying to restraing Grizzly huffed, irked by the laughter. ‘‘We should let him loose to fuck you up, you asshole’’
‘‘Absolutely not!’’ Williams shook her head vigorously, pulling from Grizzly’s arm, and trying to guide him away and to the door, helped by the others. ‘‘Out, we need to get out to the terrace’’
‘‘Leaving so soon?’’ They followed them between laughs, and soon almost the whole bar was pouring outside to the relief of the owner and the bartenders. ‘‘Does the little bear need help finding his cave?’’
‘‘Shut your mouth, you fucking idiot’’ Ibekwe snapped, pushing Grizzly out of the door with the others, while the enormous Canadian was swearing in québécois.
*
‘‘Gaz, you’re the reasonable one, make them stop’’ Gabi pleaded, but Garrick shook his head, smiling.
‘‘I’m sorry, Gabi, but this is how things get fixed permanently’’
‘‘Don’t get involved too much’’ Soap nudged his shoulder playfully, grinning. ‘‘We need to keep you in Cap’s good books’’
‘‘The curly haired one is a coward and won’t do shit’’ Gaz said calmly, the three of them watching carefully the door, seeing more and more people, privates and locals alike, pouring out. ‘‘And for the other two, the one with the mole on his cheek will try to act tough in front of Maynard. The short one might chicken out too, or not’’
‘‘Christine, please’’ Gabi turned to face Riot, looking at her pleadingly. ‘‘You are going to get in so much trouble’’
‘‘Choices have consequences’’ Riot shrugged, taking a long drag of her cigarette, and then exhaling the smoke slowly. ‘‘They could have chosen to behave like decent human beings. They could have chosen not to fuck with my pups. They could have chosen not to come here’’
‘‘…’’ Gabi sighed, nodding. She could understand that. She was still worried though. ‘‘You don’t have to do this’’
Riot just nodded, her blue-grey eyes fixed on the door. Williams and Ibekwe were dragging Grizzly out with the help of a couple of other privates, whose names escaped her in that moment. They were having trouble containing the burly Canadian, who was sputtering profanities at someone inside. She sighed.
‘‘Yes, I have’’ Her eyes turned briefly to look at Johnny and Gaz and nodded, before returning her gaze to the scene. The AAC Sergeants were stepping out of the bar, with a cocky Maynard leading.
‘‘But leave him be! What is the little bear going to do, hmm? Hit an officer?’’
‘‘Petit’s temperament is going to be a problem in the future’’ Gaz commented, running his fingers through his hair, feeling the adrenalin rush of the wait.
‘‘A problem for another day’’ Soap slowly released Gabi from his grasp, and cupping her chin with one hand leant in to kiss her briefly. ‘‘Don’t get too close, hen’’
‘‘Please be careful’’ Gabi sighed, stepping back, still holding their jackets. Johnny laughed and left his empty glass on the nearest table.
Once they were outside Williams looked back and saw the Sergeants, with visible relief.
‘‘Come on, little bear, what are you doing? Running to your keepers in the 141?’’ Maynard continued to taunt the furious private, who broke free from his friends and tried to lunge forward. Both Ibekwe and Williams tried to grab his arms, alarmed.
Riot instantly tossed her cigarette butt aside and marched toward them, squaring her shoulders. Soap and Gaz followed her, the Scot already cracking his knuckles with a wide grin.
‘‘Grizzly!’’ Her sharp tone for some reason managed to get to him, and the private stopped in his tracks, breathing heavily. ‘‘Two steps back, private!’’
Before he knew it he was obeying, and with him the rest of the privates present did the same. Maynard smirked and faced the three 141 Sergeants.
‘‘So, Haggis, Chocolate and Scarface’’ His tone was cocky, unpleasant. One of his friends stepped backwards nervously, the one with curly hair as Gaz had said. ‘‘Sounds like a bad joke’’
‘‘There’s only one bad joke here, and I’m looking at it’’ Riot smiled, the end of her scar twitching. ‘‘Because I’m nice, I’m going to warn you. Once’’
‘‘Warn me about what exactly?’’ Maynard laughed, looking back at his cronies, and frowned slightly when he saw that one of them had already jumped ship.
‘‘About behaving like a proper human being’’ Gaz intervened, with a smile that looked almost kind. Almost. ‘‘But I honestly hope you decide to be an ass’’
‘‘That way we can have fun’’ Soap added, grinning. Maynard chuckled, along with one of his friends who stepped forward.
‘‘Fun, eh? Maybe I want to have fun too. I could even overlook that nasty cut, bird’’ He leered at Riot, eyeing her up and down. She didn’t react, although her blood ran ice cold for a second. ‘‘I like blondes. Maybe if I just have you on all fours…’’
‘‘Ye bloody eejit’’ Soap grunted, stepping forward to square up against him, but found himself facing Maynard’s bravest cronie. The third was looking from one to another, still hesitating, and Gaz’s cold glare was enough to make him doubt more.
‘‘As I said, I’ll only warn you once’’ Riot said, apparently calm. Her hands were clenched into fists. ‘‘Stop bullying my soldiers. Stop harassing them, or other personnel, in any way, shape or form. Just. Fucking. Stop’’
‘‘Or what?’’ Maynard leant in, his face inches away from hers. She didn’t back down. ‘‘I could knock you out just by blowing on you, shorty’’
‘‘Then you better knock me out first try’’ Her eyes narrowed slightly when she smiled again. ‘‘ Because if you don’t, you won’t leave this place on your feet’’
He grabbed her by the collar of her t-shirt, pulling her closer until their faces were almost touching.
‘‘You should learn how to treat a man, whore’’
‘‘You are not a man’’ She said calmly, unfazed. ‘‘You are just another pathetic excuse with a tiny weenie that has to compensate by being a prick’’
‘‘You fucking bitch!’’ Maynard’s hand released her collar to grab her throat. Soap and Gaz started to move, but Riot immediately headbutted Maynard, her foreheard connecting with his nose, forcing him backwards. He released her and stepped back, his hands covering his nose, a trail of blood already falling down his face and shirt.
‘‘Say that again? I didn’t quite hear you’’ Riot rolled her shoulders and wiped her forehead, smirking. ‘‘It’s not funny when you’re the one receiving, right? Don’t tell me I didn’t warn you’’
He lunged forward at her, and she allowed it. His fist connected with her face, but she used his own weight and momentum to grab his arm and twist until she could knock him off his feet. The bravest of Maynard’s cronies tried to punch Soap in the stomach, but the Scott was ready and greeted him with a straight hook to the chin that sent him to the ground. Gaz was still staring down the third and keeping watch just in case.
The sounds of distant sirens filled the night air, and most of the local villagers started to leave. Most likely the pub owner had called the police.
‘‘Gaz!’’ Soap turned to look at his friend and fellow Sergeant, grinning. ‘‘You know what to do!’’
‘‘On it!’’ He motioned at the privates still present to follow him and pulled from Gabi’s arm. ‘‘Clear out before the police gets here!’’

Beware of Easy Money Scams: Protect Yourself from Telegram Job Fraud
Telegram Prepaid Task Schem
In today’s fast-paced world, everyone dreams of earning extra income with minimal effort. Unfortunately, this dream often turns into a nightmare for those who fall prey to fraudulent schemes disguised as easy work-from-home opportunities. A recent scam operating on Telegram highlights how cleverly cybercriminals exploit this desire, leaving unsuspecting victims emotionally and financially shattered.
The Trap of Easy Money
Imagine receiving a message that promises you can earn ₹50 to ₹100 for simple tasks like watching YouTube videos, rating hotels, or writing short reviews. Sounds tempting, doesn’t it? That’s how scammers lure you in. These cybercriminals first win your trust by depositing small amounts of money into your account for completing initial tasks.
youtube
WARNING! Telegram Prepaid Task Scam Exposed!
But soon, the game changes. You’re invited to join a “prepaid task” group where bigger rewards are promised, provided you deposit money to continue. You might think, What’s the harm? After all, they’ve been paying you so far. But that’s the moment they tighten their grip.
One victim from this scam lost ₹35 lakh after being systematically manipulated into depositing increasingly larger sums. The group admin disappeared, taking with them not just the money, but also the victim’s hope and peace of mind.
Why Do People Fall for These Scams?
The Promise of Quick Earnings: Scammers prey on people’s financial struggles and their desire for quick, easy money.
Trust-Building Tactics: Sending small payments initially makes the scam appear legitimate.
Psychological Pressure: Victims are pressured to act fast, fearing they’ll lose a golden opportunity.
How to Protect Yourself
Verify the Opportunity: If a job offer seems too good to be true, it probably is. Real jobs don’t demand money upfront.
Avoid Unsolicited Links: Never click on unknown links sent via Telegram, WhatsApp, or other platforms.
Do Your Research: Check reviews, company details, and contact information before engaging with any job offer.
The Importance of a Trusted Job Community
At Rajkot Job Updates, we’re committed to connecting job seekers with genuine opportunities. Unlike these scams, our job postings are vetted to ensure authenticity, so you can apply with confidence. Our aim is to guide you towards legitimate employment and help you steer clear of fraudulent schemes.
We urge our members to remain vigilant. If you see an offer promising easy money for little effort, question its authenticity. Jobs that involve watching videos or writing reviews while earning massive amounts of money are rarely, if ever, legitimate.
A Word of Caution
Scammers rely on your trust and desperation. Don’t let their false promises of high earnings blind you to the red flags. Stay informed, stay alert, and always consult with trusted sources like our Job Update Community before taking any steps.
Call to Action
Be part of a community that values your safety and career growth. Join Rajkot Job Updates on WhatsApp and Telegram to access verified job opportunities. We’re here to ensure you find work that truly values your skills—no scams, no false promises, just honest opportunities.

"is he cute? i bet he's cute let me see-" for Reggie and Alex, any pairing
It takes everything in Alex not to react when his phone dings.
Reggie notices, anyway, stopping in the middle of his ramble and pushing his plate of waffles away. He leans across the table.
"What was that?"
"Nothing," Alex says airily. Too airily, if the way his voice and Reggie's eyebrows climb are any indication.
"That's not nothing. You almost always have your notifications muted."
Alex slides back further into the booth, cradling his phone protectively as Reggie inches closer. He stabs his stack of pancakes and stuffs a bite of strawberry into his mouth in lieu of responding.
"Come on, 'Lex, tell me! Is it a guy?"
He chews slowly. "...I let important notifications through. That's not unusual, okay? This project makes up a lot of our grade—"
"I knew it!" Reggie crows, earning him a dirty look from a waitress. Not that he notices. "Our means that you care about their grade, and you care about them. It is a guy, isn't it? A really cool one that you can't stop thinking about."
Alex sighs. Reggie knows him too well.
"It might be…a guy. There's no point in voicing any sort of hopes about him because they're only bound to get crushed, which is why I didn't tell you. We're strictly project partners, Reg."
"What makes you think that?" Reggie asks, frowning. "You're awesome, Alex. Is he already dating someone or something?"
Alex pushes a few more strawberries listlessly around his plate.
"I think so? I mean, he's always going on about the guys at some club. It sounds like he has the time of his life there, with them, and I know you think I'm awesome, Reggie, but I'm not that…I don't know, wild? How could I ever keep up?"
Reggie’s face does that thing where it soothes out, except for his mouth, which scrunches into a little o. He brightens as he snaps out of it, eyes lighting on Alex's.
"But you don't know that they're together, right? Maybe they're just good friends! That's why Luke and Julie didn't ask me out for ages, remember? They'd assumed that you were my boyfriend."
"That's…true," Alex admits, smiling faintly in spite of himself as Reggie beams. "Okay, yeah, maybe I shouldn't be so quick to assume. The way I feel about this guy…it's just scary. I barely know him, Reg, but I like him so much. It’s going to hurt like hell if he rejects me."
Reggie takes his hand, netting them another glare from a different waitress. Alex glares back until she looks away. Reggie, meanwhile, has remained blissfully unaware, intently focused on Alex.
"I'll be there for you no matter what, buddy, but you shouldn't quit before you've even played the game. Alright? At least own your awesomeness for once! If this guy doesn't see it, someone will. Sometimes you've just gotta put yourself out there."
Alex swallows. He squeezes Reggie’s hand.
"Thanks, Reg. But also…if he says no, won't that make our whole project…awkward?"
Reggie shrugs. "That's college for you. Aren't most of the group projects shitty?"
He has to concede that point as well. He's more or less worn down, and he promises to at least think about asking him out.
Reggie almost lets it go after that, but when Alex's phone dings again, he gets a mischievous glint in his eye.
"You know, there's still so much you haven't told me about this guy. I know your type, but like, what's his name? What does he do? Is he cute?"
"His name is Willie. He's doing something with art, theater is his minor. And like, objectively speaking, he's…well…"
Reggie smirks. "'Lex, it's a simple question. Is he cute? Just say so."
Alex stammers as a hot flush sweeps over his skin. He can't help it; Willie's hard to describe. Or maybe he's so fucking attractive that it melts Alex's brain.
"I bet he's cute, let me see—"
Reggie lunges for Alex's phone, crowing again as he manages to pry it from his hand. He unlocks it and whistles.
"Damn Alex, forget cute. This guy is smoking hot."
He shows Alex the Whatsapp profile picture as if it's not burned into his brain.
Willie's grinning in it, long dark hair whipping in the wind as he balances on a skateboard on what looks like a precarious rail. Those jeans definitely do nothing to hide how…muscular his legs are, especially with the…artfully placed rips. The white hoodie softens it all somehow, but it only screams that he's also cuddly, which makes him even more attractive.
It's absolutely maddening.
And it pales in comparison to the real thing. Willie is possibly the most vivacious person Alex has ever met.
"Yeah," Alex manages to croak. "He is."
Reggie flips his phone back around with a little hum before Alex can protest.
"Alex! He's flirting with you!"
"Okay, but that doesn't have to mean—"
"Alex."
He throws his hands up, and thankfully not out, or he would've hit a waiter. They really need to leave before they get banned from the best diner near campus.
"Some people are just flirtatious! You flirt with me all of the time!"
Reggie just gives him a sunny grin and a wink. "There's a difference between flirting for fun and flirting with intent, babe. If he's not doing the latter, I'll eat my boot."
"You might have to, anyway," Alex mutters, huffing at Reggie’s oblivious little what.
They don't get banned, if only because Alex pays and drags him out at what Luke calls his runway speed, so there's that.
But if his anxiety is totally off about the other things…well, he's not exactly mad about it, although he does have to laugh when Willie asks to meet him at the diner for one of their first dates.
