we both aren't automated bots let's say we both love to leave our readers hanging

it's literally months I'm waiting for your story - yes, I'm the pot calling the kettle black. I admit.

UPDATE: thinking of a proper epilogue - like this, I'm skipping the part which excites me most: gifter having sex with his FEVERISH converting chaser (in this case biological and poz son all together) then Elias giving his very first poz load to... Bella? Scotty? I have yet to decide if Elias discovers to convert Scotty immediately, or not. What's sure is that sentient HIV hasn't allowed Adrian to convert Bella until they're masked, wrapped in rubber, and speechless. HIV doesn't want to get into anonymous and untrustful hosts. They must be sure on where they're going. Let me think of it some more days (or hours?) I feel that writing is a form of love: if it's genuine, you can argue and even when it seems all over, true love then comes back stronger than before. My author's passion is like the one for my partner: can't live without.

Hey sexy, what's this surprise? So glad to see you

I have same sensation, but their campaign is attractive. I doubt the reason of this result is just "rather than a black woman I voted a dispotic man". There are even lots of muslims and latinos voting for him, situation is complex, I fear; btw those MAGA mostly support billionaires, what I say, trillionaires. I just read that Musk earned 13 millions dollars in one night, if I don't get wrong. Yet to verify it though; I say it as I read but recognize that this period exceeds in fake news and extremism everywhere in full hybrid conflict atmosphere where all of us are involved.

Unfortunately things must change through philosophy again, rather than politics. This system of business-based world is unsustainable by now, but it will take much time to recover, until I breathe I hope to help communities around do our best. We can't save everything but we can play our part.

Btw, I have just read Bernie Sander's position which is very close to mine - dems lost because working class feels abandoned.

me too. Twitter has been a precious "companion" to make me embrace one of my fetishes in 2019 but then it's become worse and worse, then Musk acquired it and has become far-right lounge. Despite not labelling myself a "leftist", rather a liberal, I can't rely on someone speaking of "free spech" then letting algorithm guide information on what he wants.

Some talk about midterm and 2028 but I fear that, if he does what he promises to do, he want to change laws at the point that he remains the president till he breathes. Let me say that he is a very determined person; did he manage to remain at the White House from the front door (elections in 2020)? No. He tried forcing it (the assault in 2021 january). He managed that? No - he gradually, slowly, entered from the window. I have not the truth in my pocket but it started from there, when Elon Musk began all his business to acquire Twitter. After that in 2022, from this side of the world we resigned to the evidence "Trump will win 2024 elections in a way or another". Although this does not mean he forced population to vote. True that Jim Jones has manipulated one thousand people making them poison themselves to death - it's a story I have studied a lot, lately. Not to talk about Rasputin in the old times, or many insane cults there are around. Manipulated people can do whatever their leader asks for. But in this case, despite misinformation or whatever, we CANNOT SAY that millions of people have been deeply manipulated as it's not just a problem of Donald Trump and his supporters, as I said earlier there are many, many, many figures thinking like him even in European politics and plenty of voters choose him. AfD in Germany for example, that one is a symbol as its leader, Alice Weidel, is a lesbian with a wife and 2 adopted kids, who guides a far-right party. When generally far-right is AGAINST homosexuals' rights. Weidel says her party is the only one protecting Germany's gays and lesbians. In 2025 they have elections. Same for Spain, they have Vox -Santiago Abascal- they're against LGBT rights. Failed election this time but after what happened in Valencia and the disasters they have, I have no doubt that far-right is accusing politicians and fragile people who lost everything, find hope in Vox. Time will tell. We have Argentina's example, we have Hungary... Italy is in same situation where a law declaring surrogate motherhood as "universal crime". France, they have Marine Le Pen, another woman, another far-right extremist. She is not at the command seat but the risk is high. Economy is fragile, immigration causes trouble everywhere, unavoidable culture conflicts and usual rich-poor conflicts. Those never die. And when the blanket is short (I talk about money availability) sooner or later someone's ass is uncovered. What I fear in all of this? That Trump eliminates all organizations which guarantee human rights. United nations at first. We consider human rights an assumption here in the western (developed) world. But who is the one ensuring and maintaining them? In the reality, NO ONE. We have NO ONE keeping the light on, if we don't take care of the flame it extinguishes.

Yeah, we must live and be strong ALL TOGETHER - at least we shouldn't get angry to each other. True, life goes on, then it depends if president makes rigid laws against us somehow... Only time will tell at this point! Can I say, this is the mechanism of hybrid conflict: create fear, uncertainty, doubt, enemies. And powerful folks have us in their hands. Guaranteed.

European as well, but IMHO the whole developed world depends on America for many factors (technology could be just one). If export taxes increase, free speech decreases for certain topics, algorithms decide what you can and can't read on search engines (forget social networks for now)... It's a global trouble. Yes, we can't treat the disease before it comes, Trump has yet to sit on that chair and who knows if he does everything he claims to. But what we can do, is make an effort to be UNITED as a community for example. Can I say, there are fights even among LGBT community, how could we sound worthy of trust if we argue for many things? My local community even argued on what a singer said about a politician and pride events! Wtf! I have the LUCK to know a "proud Trumpist" Texan man who is very pleasant to talk to - he's partnered to the first man I had sex / made love with. Long-distance affair, who knows how long it lasts, but that's other issue. He was very very happy about elections outcome, he's even positive for HIV and Hep C, and I asked him how on Earth he willingly trusted a clearly homophobic and misogynist man. How he can still trust Republicans after his sister lost 2 baby twins suffering hard because they could have died immediately but the hearts were still beating and anti-abortion laws forced doctors to revive them, delaying their death through 3 weeks of AVOIDABLE suffering. How he could vote a man who could make gay marriage (and maybe homosexuality?) illegal. He said "believe me buddy, when you're hungry and thirsty you even survive eating your excrements. When you have foreigner bullies threating you every time you walk across the street you don't care of gay marriage and stuff, you hope that someone stops all of this". It's safety, it's economy warranties. I can't ever imagine how some people live, although I think culture background is relevant. But for this topic, it's another issue coming from very far behind. A system based solely on money where every choice is made if it's convenient. No matter if it's fair, if it's not convenient it cannot be done. Referring also to fake DEI programs where they invite people talking about underrepresented groups for webinars and stuff but then never respect basic rules to overcome physical obstacles for people with disabilities, just an example. Or talk about women rights then have no welfare policy for families. My 2 stupid cents.

As for "free speech" matter, I'm not surprised about conservatives' caring for it; Musk himself says he battles for "free speech" when he wants to make impossible for X users to block others, but my sensation is that they consider free speech one-way only: you can't create satire on bible or Christian's symbols, you can't talk bad about their politics, Trump himself claims the intention to pursue political opponents and "traitors"... But they want to feel free to address anyone as "faggot" or whatever insult, and they block lgbt-related communication, I mention the "don't say gay" Florida law or Utah laws or whatever prevents public availability of books and information. I don't know, and I'll stay tuned for further developments.

Heard about nostr, very interesting but I got lost in docs - it'd take years. I'll follow the issue, I suppose it will be a topic this community will deal with in the future

Eager to know about "plan B" if necessary, I think we should consider Fediverse. Friendica is charmingly interesting, but it has a huge issue: a unique developer working in it! What I think after all the tears of this morning even here in Europe... Now, more than ever, COMMUNITY matters. We must take initiatives on our own and act together, decreasing divisions between us. Because authoritary governments can BUY the law and turn the world as they want, but only communities know their own needs and only united we can survive. Defeat the dragon is not guaranteed but at least avoid its shots or limit its damages.

Tried to adjust the epilogue but everything came out deathful and dramatic (what I never want to do in my projects). I would have addressed tons of downvotes on myself. So, it's confirmed: I let it as open ending, with you free to interpret whatever: does Bella restore Scotty's role? Elias gets poz? The virus manages to defeat Greg? Feel free to imagine whatever. My mood is no longer for writing sex stories right now, I just have to finish some articles for work then will take a rest on writing, I think.

Tech is a paradox: if on one side it can allow you to get informed globally, on the other side a dispotic government can use it to address people where it wants. Twitter/x, that platform is dangerous and scary, full of fake news and hate speech. Into my group we say it's a parallel channel for 4Chan. Then let alone people misusing AI, creating deep fakes and so on! With photo and voice cloning you can make a person say whatever they want and damage someone's reputation forever - guide an election campaign this way. But the problem is not tech itself, it's the lack of education. When did it start? I don't know, but for current 20-years-old and later age, I fear it's too late to learn.

I can talk as "privileged" too, but when a president is dispotic we never know what to expect, I guess he has the power to change every law possible, to corrupt judges and whatever, and surround himself just by people he wants. I don't think he arrives to kill people physically but remember, when you're reduced psychologically to nothing and the world isolates you, body's death is just a detail then. As a person working in tech I'm scared as anyone can take control of tech and cut you off if you don't talk how they want you to. And it's not necessary to ban people from platforms, just prohibit some words - like they already do now if you want to monetize some contents.

Yeah, I agree, let's try to be rational, or we run the risk of doing what Trump wants: power in division. No sense in fighting one with the other. In Europe the situation is not so different as we have lots of questionable figures. Namely Orbân, Salvini and Vannacci for Italy, with Meloni also but I judge her a little less extremist than the others. Then Marine Le Pen, Alice Weidel, Santiago Abascal... Not to speak of Argentina's Miley or Brazil's Bolsonaro who's no longer sitting in the power's chair but he has lots of fans. Let me say that it's not the face and name to worry me, but the thousands, millions, of people following them. These figures have liberated hate speech, and there are many people out there who finally feel comfortable to say and do whatever their instinct pushes them to do. So, at this point my question is: what have we done wrong? Why are there many former activists, now turning to the other side? My painful answer is, the market. Everything's become something to buy and sell, including human rights. LGBT instances are treated like an advertisement, rainbow flags everywhere used by capitalism for self-promotion, economy is what it is, not to speak about climate change and global migration. It's difficult to live in a complex world which changes every day, IMHO conservatives give the illusion that life becomes simple if one person decides for everyone.

I'm not American but I'm scared. Definitely scared as all over the world we depend on America (technology is the first, then health, most meds and tech patents come from USA). Btw I want to try to be rational: Trump has won due to money of course, but overall due to his communication strategies. I have no deep knowledge on USA election system but from media we have here in Europe, EVERY election has been somehow "predicted". I mean, in 2004 despite wars and stuff, we were sure about Bush. On 2008 between McCain and Obama, we weren't surprised about Obama. Same for 2016 Trump. And same in 2020 "Trump can't win again". Biden? In my opinion he resigned too late, but I'm not so sure about Harris. Unfortunately, together with money, charisma wins. These are my 2 cents, trying to keep scare under control as contributing to cry and destroy makes no sense.
