A dive into how much Chris is obsessed with a certain OnlyFans creator.

⟢ nsfw content ahead. smut, masturbation (m & f), mentions of OF and Porn content as well as sex toys.

divider cred @bernardsbendystraws

It was a late night in the Sturniolo household, everyone in their respective rooms and already asleep due to the long and stressful day they had. Endless meetings, both in person and over the phone. Errands being made, having them drive all over town. Last but not least, multiple arguments between the three brothers.

Despite all the exhaustion, one was still awake.

He was scrolling through Twitter, an app no one knows he has, not even his own brothers. He kept the knowledge to himself for privacy reasons, deciding it was best no one knew what he got up to in his spare time. Plus, he didn't want fans to go crazy and air him out publicly.

This account was for him, and him only. It was a way for him to kick back and relax, to destress the best way he knew how.

The best way being masturbation - but he wasn't at that point just yet.

Chris wasn't the type to just go crazy right off the bat and start stroking his cock, no - he had to have something infront of him, something visual. He couldn't get hard with just a thought; he had to have some form of media, whether it be an audio, a video, or even a picture would do it for him, if it was good enough.

However, it wasn't just the sight or audibility of the erotic material that turned him on; it was the way his mind morphed the media. He was a very imaginative person, any and everyone knew that about him. He loved it, especially in circumstances like this.

If he saw a video of a girl who looked like his type, receiving back shots, he imagined it was him. If he saw a video of a girl being face fucked, he imagined it was him.

Him.

It was always him.

So there he was, phone in his right hand while his left one palms his bludge, his cock straining through the thin material of his boxers. He was working himself up, teasing himself, edging, until he was actually ready to give himself the pleasure of release.

It seemed like the usual NSFW accounts he was an avid viewer of hadn't updated their accounts in a few days, leaving him frustrated and only with old material. He huffs and goes to the search bar on the app, typing in multiple things in attempts to find some source of sexual entertainment.

It only took him a minute or so before he came across an account that was promotion-only. They'd take content and post it for the creators, directing people to the accounts, which were tagged. He looked through a few of the accounts, finding most of them boring and repetitive,

But then he found her.

He didn't even realise his breathing had stopped, he was too busy looking at the girl wearing a white cropped FreshLove shirt, ramming a pink dildo into her dripping cunt.

He didn't have to imagine anymore; the sight of her wearing his brand was enough to make him go feral.

With shakey and excelerated breathing, he yanks his boxers down, his thick and aching cock slapping against his abdomen. He wraps his hand around the base, starting to stroke at a slow pace as he begins to scroll through her account.

There were multiple videos of her playing with herself in different ways; dildos, vibrators, even a fucking machine made an appearence.

But what got him going, the thing that had him already reaching his peak, was the fact that in the majority of her posts, she's wearing Fresh Love.

Using her baby pink rose toy on her sensitive clit? The baby blue FreshLove hoodie is riding up on their waist. Flashing her perky breast adorned with nipple piercings to the camera? A black Fresh Love shirt is teasingly being lifted.

After an hour of endless scrolling, stroking, and liking each and every post on her account, he finally reached the end, and he was a mess.

She made a mess of him.

His milky skin was flushed with red, a thin layer of sweat covering his body and making his hair stick to his forehead. His cock was still hard, his tip remaning that bright angry red shade, still leaking beads of cum. If he looked hard enough, he could see his cock pulsating, feel it pulsating. His pelvis and left hand were covered in his own essence. It was pooling at the base of his dick, tickling his waist with a feather like feel as it trails down, dripping on to the navy sheets and creating an even bigger mess.

He's completely baffled by the sight that stands in front of him; he's never had a masturbation session end this way.

It was thrilling.

Not even thinking twice or what's to come later, he quickly follows her Twitter account along with her Instagram account, before throwing his phone down and beginning to clean up his own mess.

After he changes his bed sheets and takes a quick shower, he lays back down, his body immediately falling into a deep sleep as he begins to dream of the girl wearing FreshLove.

The media illiteracy crisis excelerates everyday

Some of y'all be forgetting that Miguel genuinely thinks Miles is gonna kill everyone on Earth

Like yeah to us it's "This kid just wants to save his dad"

But to him it's legit "This kid is going to get billions of innocent people killed"

He's not evil. He's not a liar. He isn't intentionally trying to fuck with people or bend them into his will or make them hate Miles

He's a dude who killed A LOT of people on ACCIDENT, and now that he sees it happening in front of him again he's doing everything in his earthly power to stop it from happening again

[mintmatcha]

Anon brought but some real shit we don't investigate or talk about now. I think in terms of society being more sex obsessed it goes along with everything being excelerated. Like with late stage capitalism pushing consumerist culture to the extreme there's more media: more advertising, more influence, more exploitation and so on.

I think society for a while now has already been sex obsessed. In media from the 20th century and the 00s (from porn to films to magazines to advertising) there's no shortage of stuff that objectifies women, that sexualises minors, that pushes aspects of pedophilia culture (like presenting the ideal woman as hairless, as young looking as they can get away with, docile, subservient and even child-like). It's stuff that's been ingrained in the structure of misogyny itself and has just been evolving to find new ways to manifest and new technologies to insidiously permeate the public consciousness through, such as tik tok.

This isn't anti-sex work or anti-sexual expression in media and the such. Just very critical of the influences on a lot of the types of sexually-charged content being produced, who it caters to, benefits, and who tends to be harmed or negatively influenced by the repeated messaging infused in that media.

I super agree that stuff like tik tok is absolutely not a healthy introduction into sexual expression for young people. It takes all the BS that's been policing,objectifying, degrading, harming etc certain vulnerable groups and amplifies it more than something like TV ever could. Warping reality on a whole new scale for youths as it drives many of them towards these weird patriarchal ideals of self expression that say "grow up enough to be sexual but not enough to have better mental fortitude against sexual abuse and exploitation" and "your body is your greatest asset if it can serve these gazes in this way."

It's an old ass problem bleeding into so many things we make, consume and participate in and stuff isn't gonna change if we don't really start getting at the root.

We had to deal with this stuff during out times but the kids today are fighting a whole different beast. I know in some ways things have definitely improved and that there are experts trying to directly attack it and give people the right info but it just seems to keep growing excruciatingly bigger on one side when we've just gotten started working on the other.

"Warping reality on a whole new scale for youths as it drives many of them towards these weird patriarchal ideals of self expression that say "grow up enough to be sexual but not enough to have better mental fortitude against sexual abuse and exploitation" and "your body is your greatest asset if it can serve these gazes in this way.""

thats a great way to put it!!!!

I also think it's important to look at the MEN who's gotten large followings in the past year: right wing traditionalist men. Andrew Tate and others who press on the issue that "women ARE objects and supposed to be subservient."

While their followers are mostly young men, they have a young female audience that believes them too.

With current youtube and tiktok algorithms, these types of personalities are pushed to the forefront. Kids are getting exposed to this type of thinking early and I truly believe it contributes to the mentality of children seeing their worth directly related to beauty

[shoezuki]

No because genuinely I need to complain about most modern animated media including anime. I'm fucking sick of grand stakes, I'm sick of everything turning on its head and some big epic war going on, I'm sick of grand adventure and people dying. There is enough drama, high stakes, destruction and death in the real fucking world to fill YEARS of airtime of a TV show, can we fucking bring slice of life back? MHA is so fucking lame now, I have more fun reading an ecchi manga that updates once every 8 months about a stacked housewife.

REAL SHIT REAAAAAAAAAAL SHIT

Frankly like... esp w mha, it just becomes Too Much when a show starts grounded, but then excelerates into some Saving The World Shit. It reminds me of how supernatural went so long so every Big Bad Evil of every season jus got more n more ridiculous cuz they had to top whatever came before.

And like. I dipped out of mha WAY early. I think after bakugo figured out that deku got his quirk from allmight n they fought. Cuz i jus kinda got bored and realized i literally jus watched for the concept of the anime rather than the Actual Anime itself.

But like i Barely know whats goin on now but it seems so extremely different from the beginning n like.... jus making it more n more High Stakes n Traumatic to the characters blows and tbh it either shoulda had that tone from the beginning, or kept w the Super Power Kids School stuff. Like mha is unrecognizeable now

Running a business means you'll be faced with plenty of decisions. Understanding which decision to make is crucial for business success. A bad call can be potentially disastrous in the business world.

9. Quarter Times article: Passion is everything

Follow your passion and you never work a day in your life…

That was my thinking heading into the Sports Media world. Combine that with a ‘anything school-related is the death of me’ mentality, and you get a green faced 18 year-old signing a hex debt bigger than he can even imagine. Three years later, or to be more accurate to my experience, seven internships later, and that same 18 year-old would go on to write articles with over tens of millions of views, help build a company to up to 30,000 subscribers, hire up to a dozen interns for work, and still never once manage to get past 70% on a paper.

Three years later, I’m less baby faced now but more hardworking than ever… just not in Sports Media.

I completed my third year internship at Rainmaker, one of the most advisable suggestions I could ever give to a soon-to-be graduate. Rainmaker was not one, but the most creative- friendly, tutelage-providing, opportunity-handing places a undergraduate could dream to work in. They possessed a culture of top tier work performance while prioritising the teaching of eager freshmen.

That extended from graphic designs, social media coverage, networking clients, operating the variable control panels for a show, choice of televised segments and much more. If people want to learn while also creating meaningful work that excelerates their experience - and CV - then Rainmaker is the perfect place.

But sports media is not for everyone, and after thousands of non-bilable hours purely for fun, I know now that it is not for me either. For anyone reading this who is in love with sports media, like I once was, please don’t expect that you will have the same crashed realisations that I did because everyone is different. I faded out because I lost the passion despite success. If you have the passion but are struggling to find the success - remain confident that if you are following a plan consistently and are always saying ‘yes’, it does come. But also understand that if you want to be ‘the face’, like I believe many people secretly do when they enter this field, know that you have to sacrifice a lot and that no one will hand you anything.

But if you're like most people who get excited about being a meaningful contributor to the creation of a show, program, channel, network, or whatever the industry manifests in the coming decades, then this course and these lectures will provide that path to you better than any university, youtube channel, book or friend can. Unfortunately for me, the latter never appealed to me. And the previously established plan drained me of passion… turning a dream into frivolous work.

I’d like to shout out to all my classmates, I’m rooting for all of you over the next couple decades. And a gigantic thank you to all my lecturers, who put up with all my nonsensical emails from beginning to end but always gave me a chance to make up for my innocent mistakes.

-------------------------------------------------------------

1. ESG Energy Stocks for 3Q 2022

Now it seems that most analysts’ ESG recommendations in the media continue to focus on ESG energy stocks and funds. So, I have several articles with that view. The first one is titled Top Alternative Energy Stocks for Q3 2022. It’s by Nathan Reiff. Found at investorpedia.com. Now some quotes.

“Here are the top three alternative energy stocks with the best value, the fastest growth, and the most momentum…

1) Daqo New Energy Corp. (DQ)

Is a China-based solar energy company that manufactures polysilicon for sale to manufacturers of solar cells and modules. The company also manufactures photovoltaic wafers. Daqo reported earnings for Q1 2022 on April 21. Net income attributable to shareholders surged by over sixfold while revenues quintupled year-over-year (YOY). This performance was driven in part by a jump in polysilicon sales volume.

2) Excelerate Energy Inc. (EE)

Is a liquified natural gas (LNG) company. It offers regasified natural gas delivery, storage, and other related services. It has operations around the globe. On May 20, the company reported that it had signed a 10-year contract with a subsidiary of Gasgrid Finland Oy to charter a floating storage and regasification vessel. The vessel will serve Finland and the Baltic region with liquefied natural gas and related services.

3) Iberdrola SA (IBDRY)

Is a Spain-based multinational electric utility company. The company engages in the generation, distribution, and trading of electricity. It specializes in clean energy, including onshore and offshore wind, and solar energy.”

End quotes. My comment about Daqo. It’s still being accused of using forced labor.

-------------------------------------------------------------

2. ESG Energy Stocks for 3Q 2022

Now, here’s the second article in this ESG energy stocks theme titled Ameresco: Alternative Energy's Best Near-Term Capital Gain Prospect. By Peter F. Way on seekingalpha.com. Here are some quotes from Mr. Way’s blog.

“A 3-5 month prospect from here of Ameresco share prices could reasonably range from a $46.00 low to $58.80 high from its present price of $47.30, a +24.3% gain.

From Yahoo Finance. Quote. ‘Ameresco, Inc., (NYSE:AMRC) (is) a clean technology integrator, provides a portfolio of energy efficiency and renewable energy supply solutions in the United States, Canada, and internationally. It offers energy efficiency, infrastructure upgrades, energy security and resilience, asset sustainability, and renewable energy solutions for businesses and organizations…

3. ESG Energy Stocks for 3Q 2022

And a third article in the ESG energy stock space titled Alternative Energy Stock Quietly Having a Great Year. By Schaeffer's Digital Content Team on schaeffersresearch.com. This is some of what the team has to say.

“Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH)

Is a global energy technology company and a supplier of microinverter-based solar and battery systems. The company's semiconductor-based microinverter system converts energy at the individual solar module level and brings a system-based high-technology approach to solar energy generation, storage, control, and management. The company has shipped more than 45 million microinverters, and over 2.0 million Enphase-based systems have been deployed in more than 135 countries…

On the charts, ENPH is up roughly 17% in 2022…

Enphase Energy stock offers a rich valuation at a price-earnings ratio of 55.87 and a price-sales ratio of 18.24. Nonetheless, the company has maintained high and consistent growth rate over multiple years, which has helped the market justify the company’s inflated valuation… Enphase Energy is also expected to grow its revenues and earnings 31.7% and 22.9%, respectively, for fiscal 2023.” End quotes

-------------------------------------------------------------

4. ESG Energy Stocks for 3Q 2022

And a fourth article in this ESG energy stocks vein is titled 3 Most Undervalued Renewable Energy Stocks to Buy. By Will Ashworth on InvestorPlace.com. Among Mr. Ashworth’s comments are the following.

“1) Brookfield Renewable Corporation (NYSE:BEPC)

Was created so that investors could invest in its renewable power assets through a corporation rather than a limited partnership…

The company’s June 2022 annual shareholder’s meeting highlighted that Brookfield Renewable Corporation generated $934 million in funds from operations (FFO) in 2021, 10% higher than a year earlier…

In the five years between 2021 and 2026, it expects to grow funds from operations by 10% or more annually…

For those who want a more diversified portfolio, you can own Brookfield Renewable Corporation indirectly through Brookfield Asset Management (NYSE:BAM), which owns 26% of the company. Brookfield Asset Management stock is down 25% year-to-date.  

You won’t go wrong owning Brookfield Asset Management over the long haul.   

2) NextEra Energy Partners LP (NYSE:NEP)

Is a growth-oriented limited partnership created by its parent company, NextEra Energy (NYSE:NEE), in June 2014. It owns wind and solar projects, natural gas, and infrastructure assets in the U.S…

It (seeks) to grow LP distributions by 12% to 15% per year between 2019 and 2024. So far, it’s increased them by approximately 15% per year… Its annualized distributions since its IPO have increased by 290%, from 75 cents to $2.93 at the end of 2021.  

Down 9.4% YTD, I wouldn’t say that NextEra Energy Partners LP is a screaming buy, but it’s not overpriced either.

3) Ameresco (NYSE:AMRC) (Yes again!)

Is (in) the business of owning renewable assets and helping others implement clean energy solutions for their businesses…

In 22 short years, Ameresco’s completed more than $11 billion in energy solution projects for more than 8,000 customers worldwide. In addition, it owns 353 million watts of energy (MWe) assets for solar, landfill gas, renewable natural gas (RNG), and battery storage…

Ameresco has been able to increase its revenues since 2017 by more than 21% annually, from $717 million in 2017 to an estimated $1.87 billion in 2022. Over the same period, the company has grown its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) by 27.1% annually.  

With Ameresco stock down more than 46% YTD, it’s trading at the same levels it did in December 2020, 18 months ago. Under $40 would be a perfect entry point. ” End quotes.

5. ESG Energy Stocks for 3Q 2022

In this next article Brookfield Renewable Corporation and NextEra Energy Partners LP are again recommended. It’s titled 2 Unstoppable Renewable Energy Stocks to Buy for the Next Decade. By Matthew DiLallo. On fool.com.

“1) Brookfield Renewable (BEPC)

Brookfield Renewable operates a globally diversified portfolio of renewable energy and energy transition assets. It currently generates 21 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy… Its assets produce steady cash flows backed by long-term power purchase agreements…

Brookfield anticipates that mergers and acquisitions will add up to 9% per share to its bottom line each year. The company recently raised a record $15 billion for an energy transition fund to help companies decarbonize their operations. That's giving it additional capital to complete deals, positioning it to further capitalize on the decarbonization megatrend. 

2) NextEra Energy, Inc. (NEE)

NextEra Energy operates Florida Power & Light (FPL), a leading electric utility in the state, and NextEra Energy Resources, a large-scale clean energy infrastructure business… The energy resources unit operates natural gas pipelines, renewable energy generating facilities, battery storage operations, and electricity transmission lines that generate steady cash flow backed by long-term fee-based contracts.

The company… recently unveiled its Real Zero strategy to eliminate its carbon emissions by 2045. Florida Power & Light is undertaking the largest solar energy expansion in the nation, which it's supplementing with large-scale battery storage deployment. It also aims to replace natural gas in its power plants with green hydrogen and renewable natural gas…

Management expects profits to grow by more than 10% this year. It then foresees them expanding at the high end of its 6% to 8% target range through at least 2025. That should give the utility the funds to grow its 2.1%-yielding dividend by at least 10% annually through 2024.” End quotes. Incidentally, Florida Power & Light is just accused of unethical competitive behavior.

Top Solar Panel Companies 2022

Finally, this article is not a stock recommendation but rather an interesting assessment of solar panel makers available in the US. It’s titled Top Solar Panel Companies 2022 and by Lisa Iscrupe on saveonenergy.com. Here is some of what Ms. Iscrupe and fellow researchers say. Quote.

“The solar industry is a combination of many business sectors. From solar installers to dealers to solar panel manufacturers, navigating your solar energy journey can take time. When you are researching solar panels for your home, one place that’s good to start is with the solar panel company or manufacturer that you want. Based on our research, here’s our top 10 solar panel companies:

Canadian Solar Inc. Jinko Solar SunPower CertainTeed LG Tesla First Solar Inc. Lumos Hanwha REC Solar

3 High-Yield Infrastructure Stocks to Buy Now

Now we turn from ESG energy stocks to infrastructure with an article titled 3 High-Yield Infrastructure Stocks to Buy Now. It’s by Daniel Foelber, Scott Levine, and Lee Samaha. Again on fool.com. Now one of the recommendations is Kinder Morgan, an oil-gas pipeline company. Hence, I’m leaving it out.

“1) Scott Levine picks Brookfield Infrastructure (BIPC) (BIP)

… Currently offers an enticing forward dividend yield of 3.8%.

With global operations in North and South America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region, Brookfield Infrastructure has a worldwide presence in a variety of infrastructure projects including (but not limited to) natural gas pipelines and storage, data centers, toll roads, and electricity transmission… investors should be relieved to learn that 90% of the company's debt is a fixed rate…

Should the company return $2.16 to unitholders in 2022 as it plans, it will represent an approximate 10% compound annual growth rate for its distribution since 2009. Looking ahead, management has targeted continued annual distribution growth of 5% to 9%.

2) Lee Samaha recommends Hubbell (HUBB)

There aren't many industrial companies whose earnings are trending ahead of initial expectations going into 2022, but Hubbell is one of them. Management began 2022 forecasting organic sales growth of 8%-10% and adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $8.75–$9.25 only to raise it to 11%-13% and $9-$9.40 on the first-quarter earnings call in late April…

The company makes electrical equipment, meters, connection products, and lighting fixtures. About 56% of its sales go to the utility market (mainly transmission and distribution), with 44% to electrical solutions (electrical products, connection, and bonding). There's a need to replace the infrastructure of an aging U.S. electrical grid…

No company will be truly safe from a recession, but Hubbell stands to do relatively well. Throw in a 2.3% dividend yield, and the stock is attractive for investors.” End quotes.

The law of correctness

The law of current affairs

#ConceptOrganicOrigin

I am helping you identify your root to the problem your gap in the system which could shift the entire outcome

First understand who takes risk who doesn't take risk in the society

Who acts superficially who acts deeply

Classes have no bearing in classifying siciety anymore

Because we have new generations new technology new education

I labelled this as clash of generations or generational turnover

It meant to be a handover thought it doesn't happen

Elites of entertainers elites of prostitutes elites of criminals elits of illicit addicts etc not wanted

If the scientist wasn't an entertainer type he wouldn't be on a media

One fact

Another fact

The society of civilised type inherited much of urban state

If I tell you the economy is not much needed as before except to support fundamental needs as everything has been invented

Because urban class wouldn't work on a farm as they are used to office culture the state of economy might decline in which imports cause more problems in a long term

Developing countries need economy because they have not come to the stage western society reached

Probably sufficency of economic growth should be limited by habituation by waste by frequency

Risk in a swot analysis

Declining not the economy but the state of civilisation

Potential

Excelerating possibilities on a macrocosmic world

This Mazda Ad Scans the Crowd to Keep a Running Tally of How Often the Car Turns Heads

Is this Mazda billboard turning heads? You can count on it.

Installed on Monday in the retail concourse of Toronto’s Royal Bank Plaza, the digital sign, timed to the Canadian International Auto Show, plays a 15-second video that shows the sleek new MX-5 RF from various angles.

Custom software allows the ad to detect each time a passerby turns to gawk at the car, and the screen displays a running tally. In just two days, the “head count” topped 13,000.

“The billboard uses a combination of crowd detection and facial recognition technology,” explains Ari Elkouby, creative director at J. Walter Thompson Canada, which developed the campaign with Excelerator Media, Pattison Onestop and Pattison’s interactive arm, Fourth Wall.

The software “identifies when someone is in the vicinity of the board and then verifies through a number of separate algorithms that a person has turned their head to towards our hidden camera,” Elkouby says. “To bring this idea to life, the video wall required a custom, industrial-grade computer upgrade that could process high-frame-rate video while rendering dynamic data in real-time.”

Part of a citywide out-of-home campaign, the sign will remain in place for a month. If the current pace holds, it could ultimately turn more than 150,000 heads.

“There was quite a bit of behind-the-scenes testing and late nights of complex coding in order to make this work,” Elkouby says.

Despite the use of innovative tech, however, his team opted to keep things relatively simple. The billboard’s interactivity is fun but not overly distracting, which adds to its charm.

Now, unlike Apotek’s hair-raising Swedish subway sign, Mazda’s execution won’t blow anyone away. On the other hand, it steers clear of questionable elements, such as a certain pharmacy ad’s passive-aggressive tendencies (cough-cough).

“This channel requires a lot of restraint and respect for the audience,” Elkouby says. Plus, “a complicated message wouldn’t cut it in a busy underground concourse with lots of traffic, so we kept fine-tuning the headline and the idea until it was as short as possible while still delivering the intended message.”
