You can be pro life and still see that those policies are needlessly cruel.

There’s a big gap you can fall into while being pro life between forcing women to carry dead fetuses until they become horribly sick and suggesting that healthy fetuses be carried but maybe given up for adoption. Plus you can be against abortion privately without suggesting it be banned altogether.

Honestly his response there sounds like he’s not one of those insane people.

Blind is full of the shittiest coworkers you didn’t know you had, so take it with a grain of salt

Now you know the unit economics of OnlyFans, and it’s an exercise to the reader to try them out.

Enjoy sitting at the shite end of the Pareto income distribution.

OF is a marketing gig, if you don’t have a way to push your content and leverage network effects, you’re not going to make any money.

The revenue from an only fans is the customer count × avg customer lifetime × avg subscription price, customer count is a function of your exposure to potential customers, and lifetime is a function of your content frequency and originality (I assume if you upload the same content types the fan base gets bored).

So, if you want a successful OF, you need to first focus on exposure, but the algos on most social media reward the haves, so your first issue is getting into people’s feeds. The best way to do this is targeting niches, areas with lower volume or high demand for content.

Then you need to keep your audience by engaging with them but pushing new concepts, which will present it’s own challenges. There’s very much a quick copy culture on these networks that you’ll probably have to emulate to keep on the front of the engagement curve, and expect anything you do that success to be quickly replicated ad infinitum until it doesn’t anymore. I think this is a losing battle over time.

You can also offer whale services like “girlfriend experiences” to try and lock in big spenders, but first you need them on a hook.

It’s not just snap some pics and you’re good.

They chopped out the middle section of the chart, so slugs actually look 12x larger than they should. In fact, all the other bars are 12x larger than they actually should be v

This is too fucking real.

I’m so tired.

You a speyside or a highlands fan?

You can generally do firmware updates over USB if you actually need them.

Also sont devices will grant Ethernet over hdmi, which doesn’t require authentication like wifi, so make sure your set to box isn’t granting internet access to the tv.

I bet Horrid Hill is actually a nicer place that tried to keep people away. Like a real life Scooby doo town.

Yes sorry I was being sarcastic.

I think it’s a tragedy we’ve lost individual websites and services, and the modern web is dying.

Bad take, with this logic no website could do user generated content or secure messaging without aiding drug sales. You would have to curate every post.

Facebook and Instagram both have massive amounts if logging, I bet if the police even asked they’d give them everything from their geolocation data to the drug users entire social network.

What are you talking about? The web was always about capitalism and centralization!

You would never want to run your own email server, or run your own blog. It’s good that the big corps systematically block you out so you as an individual have to use their services. Who wants privacy really? Sounds like criminal stuff, we just need to peek at your data to serve you better ads. Ignore law enforcement paying us for your data, nothing bad will come of that.

Ancestors, do you need some Managed Democracy?

I’m here, but none of my friends are here or on mastodon.

It was a joke.

I am actually half French Canadian but my dad had us raised English only, and now I’m trying to relearn it.

It sucked going to my grandfather’s funeral and the extended family thought I was my cousin’s friend because I didn’t speak French.

They just call it beef there. Kind of like how the French call toasted bread “le pain internationale” and French toast is just toast.

I regret not buying the PS4 Pro when my old PS4 died, because the PS5 is just PS4 Pro V2. It seems like every game is still cross gen and we’re 4 years since release.

I’d love to have a gaming PC, but honestly the price is way too high for what I want, and the PS5 will play all the games shown on the tin with no issue.

I know the PC form factor is better for all sorts of things, and you get better graphics, people say the price is cheaper, etc. But when I keep hearing that game devs aren’t giving any consideration for performance, so it sounds like you need a top build with lots of video ram to actually play modern games anyway.

The price for a mid to high tier PC in Canada seems to be 2.5-5x the price of a PS5, so I just don’t feel like I can justify the cost. Streaming with GForce Now makes the value proposition even worse for me, since it would take many many years for the streaming service to cost more than a gaming rig.

edit: I’m sure I’m wrong on the pricing thing, so if anyone can point me to a good place to buy a PC which doesn’t suck or have shitty parts mixed in with the headline ones, and has a simple way to buy the parts, I’ll happily take a look. I miss strategy games that suck on console or emulating in Wine.

I don’t believe if you build it they will come anymore. People are fucking lazy and will put up with whatever the fuck is happening with Twitter for convenience.
