For 17 years I offered nude photo spreads for free on my website. What started as a hobby became my profession. And yesterday I decided that I can't do it anymore.
I created a Patreon page and it still feels weird. Like I'm going around with a hat begging for money. But I just can't keep being the douchebag who just invests and makes nothing.
Let's see where it goes from here.
- Get that paper!
And if you want to get some stacks OnlyFans is the way to go.
Godspeed.palimpsest - OnlyFans is for models. No one wants to see me naked.SimonFFM
- Or do we?palimpsest
- You must have mistaken the term "nude photographer" ;-)SimonFFM
- Well ... I'm sure Mrs SimonFFM appreciates seeing you naked at least a few times a year, right? :DContinuity
- ^ only if he has some tacos on the sideoey_oey
- now seriously, sad to hear. hope you manage. wishing you all the best!oey_oey
- Always good to evaluate your direction from time to time. Go for a good system. What's your plan?stewart
- Hey man I am glad that your going to start figuring out how to make more money at this.eryx
- Thanks. I have nothing to lose. A lot of changes like moving etc. will happen 2023, too.SimonFFM
- Oh wow, so you've decided to move, in the end? To where?Continuity
- My rent has increased by 19% and it's ridiculous now. I will be looking South of Germany and France. Didn't find a place yet.SimonFFM
- Well, you'll want to avoid Munich, if you're worried about rent. It's eye-wateringly expensive here. Also, Paris for the same reason.Continuity
- Bordeaux.palimpsest
- Oh, now there's a thought.
I'm actively looking at BCN.Continuity - I'd like to move to the country-side, like Provence. A small village, more affordable. No city anymore.SimonFFM
- I used to live in BCN, great dynamic city but I got tired of it quick. It was too obnoxious for my taste. I still enjoy it when I go back from time to timepalimpsest
- Hmm, that's valuable input, thanks palimp. I may pick your brain on this a bit later.Continuity
- @Simon, maybe reach out to Janne? He hangs out in Nice every year, and he has (Dutch) friends who live there. Maybe worth picking his brain?Continuity
- Anytime, Continuity. You know where to find me.palimpsest
- Do tits still sell? Like big time? I'm talking wonderbra ads n shit? I don't see the sexy stuff as much about town.robthelad

Dog has a bad case of kennel cough. The wheezing and hacking is distressing. Wont take medicine even inside food, so I end up wearing more of it than actually gets down the little dudes throat.

Just moved my goldfish from a 30-gallon tank to an almost comically large 75-gallon tank. Bought new furniture, rearranged my living room, spent like a grand on this new setup. New plants, gravel, pump, the works. It took three days to do all this. Just so they can live in luxury.
Two of the three are now floating upside down. I changed too much water at once and fucked them up.
I’m a fish failure. They’re staring at me upside down confused and i can’t do anything about it.
I’m a goddamned wreck rn
- heh classic. it's sad but i'm laughing :D sorry for your loss. next time save some water from the old tank :)sted
- when i was a kid we had a 150gal one, it was built in between the living room and the one i shared with my brother. once we went for a 2 week vacation.sted
- Good thing i don’t have kids, i’d probably kill those, tooscarabin
- when we got home a complete horror welcomed us. my parrot drowned into the aquarium full with dead fish which was already half empty.sted
- RIP fishies =\
On the flipside, you can upgrade to some fancier fishies?BuddhaHat - eh you had good intentions, just these fuckers don't like the changes in their environment. they don't want to live in luxury, fuck them.sted
- You fuckin' fish killer, I hate you!utopian
- Changed too much water? Why does it kill themdrgs

- Awe, don't be too hard on yourself. I know the feeling. <3sea_sea
- I thought fishes had no memory. How do they know it's a different water?palimpsest
- maybe u just need a bigger fish and pool... with a whale or two its much more easy ....neverscared
- Gofundme in your time of need?imbecile
- @palimpsest you live in a nice village somewhere in the mountains access to real fresh air, water.you move to a polluted city and start drinking processed watersted
- you are lucky, because you're a human and your body adapts to the change, the fishbody does not. memory taken in that sense doesn't plays a role in thissted
- Isn't processed water purer than "natural" water? Isn't tap water more watery than river water?palimpsest
- Tap water is not real?palimpsest
- Maybe the fish don't need memory because there's water memory (Benveniste), a homeopathic solution.palimpsest
- They’re all dead this morning. At least it wasn’t a drawn-out thing. Full explanation of what happened: https://aquanswers.c…scarabin
- So you pour everything in the new tank, leaving it half empty, and then slowly add more water every day?drgs
- now we know what an Osmotic shock is :)
@drgs yeah that's the way. also it isn't a bad idea to allow the water to sit for one or two weeks without the feesh.sted - Yeah. The new water was fine but i introduced them to it too quickly. Fuckin’ fish. Never again. Looks like i’m building a 75-gallon terrarium nowscarabin

I posted a while back about my dog Gravy dying. Well, we got another brown lab called Susej and he's getting close to a year old. He's a pedigree and cost as much as a small car so we're letting him keep his balls.
The breeder we got him from wants to pay us for his sperm because she saw photos of him.
He's really big, has glowing golden eyes, a giant cock and a bulging nutsack
Good boy Susej, good boy.
- Get him an OnlyFans.palimpsest

I have a much younger brother that visits me at least once a year. He's in his early 30s. Last time he came over he brought some friends in their late 20s with him, including a newlywed couple. They met my churren, we had a good time. One night we were out at a bar. A drunk guy was hitting on the married girl in the group, I saw that she wasn't into it so stepped in the conversation. He was trying to impress her by giving her career advice, he was probably on his first couple years of work experience. I look like a young piece of ass (and he's drunk) so he turns to me and starts telling me to start making connections even before finishing college. Me and the girl laugh in his face. He's offended and asks what the problem is. I tell him I'm 46 and he does a double take. The girl takes the opportunity to add that my son is probably half his age and walks away. I would like for him to keep explaining life to me but he also walks away.
I am left alone with a smile on my face.- I don't know what the ladies are on about but getting mansplainned feels great.palimpsest

Can someone show me one really good, recently released, reggaeton song that will wow me?
- https://www.qbn.com/…palimpsest
- https://www.youtube.…oey_oey
- Reggaeton?palimpsest
- There are lots of artists reclaiming reggaeton, especially feminist artists drifting away from the traditional sexist reggaeton also reinventing the soundoey_oey
- I used not to like reggaeton mostly because of the boring repetition and the lyrics, but I at the same time I liked some of the elements of itoey_oey
- one can still dance, close and hot, with respect and without sexist lyrics, still maintaining a certain sexuality to it.oey_oey
- same is happening with dancehall since a couple of years, there's a great movement in London reclaiming dancehall and lots of gay artists making and playing itoey_oey
- formulaic ai autotuned shitehans_glib
- ^ exactly, fortunately, there are people that are mixing new elements and reinventing it.oey_oey
- All good but I hear more cumbia than anything else on what you posted.palimpsest
- fair enough palimpsest,this collective has influences of a variety of south American music mixed with electronic urban music (not my words)oey_oey
- Thanks for the explanation. ;-)palimpsest
- Oey, that was not terrible. But sounded more cumbia than the electronic stuff the kids like nowadays. Bad Bunny and Daddy Yankeee are awful.HijoDMaite
- I am utterly musically uneducated i had no idea what reggaeton is. Thank Oey :)sted
- Hey Hijo, they say themselves that they also make Reggaeton, I admit that sounded a bit like Cumbia but the Reggaeton feel is also there.oey_oey
- Check their other stuff, it's a bit a different approachoey_oey
- can you start a thread for this because I'm in the same boat... looking for

- Can someone explain the sifter around his neck? It looks slightly coated in white powder but he's about as animated as a dead sloth...PonyBoy
- The sifter is a symbol of oppression. A tool for separating valuable items from waste, often as part of a caste or class system that divides people by status.palimpsest
- By using an everyday item as jewelry he's also bringing to attention the symbolic value of jewelry used to show one's status.palimpsest

I've been asked to create some examples of recruitment advertisements for a social housing organisation. They want to encourage more people to apply for their roles. Has anyone seen any good examples of recruitment advertising in similar sectors? Nothing is popping into my head today - which is unlike me.

NBQ00, how is your nofap project coming along

Right.
So, Sunday afternoon, I was stressed out and tense, and decided that the cure to what ailed me would be a nice, long, warm bath. Sound thinking on my part.
I'm about 15 minutes into it, all drowsy with my eyes closed and savouring the warmth and steam, some nu-jazz playing in the background, when a second idea came into my head. Unannounced. Unsolicited. Slightly unwanted, because I was all wet and soapy and helpless to follow through on anything in the tub. And it was also deeply annoying: I never have The Big Idea in the bath. It's just not my medium.
The idea was for a TV show. It felt exciting. Vital. And — to my absolute surprise — I actually believed in it. Surprising because I loathe every single supposed 'idea' that my brain sharts out. Nothing great — or even good — ever came out of that piece of defective equipment I keep in my cranium, and I can't trade in for a new one.
After the bath, I wrote the idea in the passport-sized Muji notebook I keep on my desk, next to my Wacom tablet and keyboard. One short sentence. I told myself I wouldn't do anything with it for two days, and just let it sit. I would come back to look at it in a couple of days, and decide if I was just being a stupid no-talent cunt, or if I should go ahead and write that pitch deck.
Here we are, two days later, and I decided to meet myself in the middle: I was being a no-talent cunt, but I'm going to go ahead and write that pitch anyway.
So, now, I've been sat here for just over three-and-a-half hours, trying to come up with a killer logline. I've got two ideas so far, and they both suck sausage's dog's apparently bulging nutsack.
In the first three-ish hours of my career as an aspiring TV show producer, here's what I've learned:
• This is absolutely n-o-t-h-i-n-g like trying to come up with ad campaign ideas;
• It's not the least bit like coming up with headlines for a campaign;
• And it is truly a different animal from writing a 30" TVC.I don't think my experience as an advertising concepter/CD is being the least bit helpful here.
The other thing I've learned in these three-ish hours is that my dubious status of no-talent cunt confirmed itself with every passing minute I couldn't craft a simple fucking logline that makes sense. Gnn.
Nonetheless, I shall persevere. I have a lifetime (and several hard drives and notebooks) full of abandoned half-baked ideas for stuff I would/should/could do. For once in my life, I want to follow through on something.
I'd just better disabuse myself of the notion that I'll have this pitch deck ready any time soon. At this rate, it will be months.
- is there anyone you trust who you can share it with? often bouncing ideas back and forth helps to generate the really top ideas.hans_glib
- For this particular project, not in real-time. Although there is absolutely one QBNer I would trust without hesitation, once the first draft of the deck is doneContinuity
- Continuity and that other QBNer
