Glazing alternatives brainstorm

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for some ideas on how to reformulate a glaze recipe for a chocolate stout cake.

Currently, this is what I have:
120 g confectioners’ sugar
1.5 g salt
35 g sour cream
23 ml whiskey coffee reduction

My goal is a reduced-sugar recipe that maintains the consistency of the 100% sugar one. So far I’ve tried baking sucralose but it leaves too many lumps/doesn’t dissolve nicely. I’ve been tempted to try allulose but haven’t found a powdered version yet (maybe I’ll need to powder it myself).

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: the sucralose experiment I tried was 50/50 with the powdered sugar.

NSFW Potentially.

A guy I met recently and I messaged this morning (sexting) and it became evident to me that what I thought were his fantasies are things he might actually be doing. I have no hard evidence, but I think he might be grooming and sexually abusing his daughter. I think she might not be his biological kid. He’s shown me videos of a girl (the supposed daughter) asleep in her room. He said she was 12, other times 16; she does look older, around 18 I’d say. He also showed me a video of « his daughter » as a child (probably around 3 years old) giving him a blowjob. In the moment, I didn’t think too much about it and wondered philosophically, where the incest and pedophilloic lines lie. 12 hrs later I’m grossed out and feel like I should call the cops on him. I took screenshots of our conversation; he erased a lot of messages.

To be honest, I’m worried about incriminating myself on sharing ch*ld* *p*rn (having seen and reacted to the videos he sent me). But as someone who was harassed by a family member myself, I know how the trauma creeps up on you when you’ve blocked memories. I don’t know what his situation is like IRL, but I’m concerned and grossed out by all of it, including my own behaviour in the moment. :((((

Edit: I’ll add he said in his messages he’s been « teaching her » to blow him since she was a baby (that’s when he sent me the child’s video).

Offering English / Spanish. Seeking French.

Hello! Looking for conversation buddies to practice French with. I’ve been learning for immigration purposes and I’m currently a B2/C1 but I need to improve on speaking formally. Would love some help with correcting me when I make grammar mistakes.

I’m happy to do the same in return and would be excited to become friends too :)
