    Don't make your Kool-Aid with Sugar in the Raw. It'll turn your Pink Lemonade a sickly brown.

    My siblings' depression is making me depressed....

    Im the middle child. My siblings formed their own little club and basically have kept me out of it.
    Now, they finally need me and im trying to help them but its so tiring because they ALWAYS say "you make it seem so easy" "easy for you to say when you always get what you want"

    My sister is 19 and applying to college and is frustrated and comes to me for help. Om walking her through admissions and courses and she snaps "well its easy for you because you had a plan going into college"
    False. I went in without a career or even a major in mind. I changed my major halfway through. Got to senior year and still didnt know what career i wanted. Took a nudge from my campus librarian to even think about working in a library.

    My brother is 29 and still lives at home. Hes having relationship issues, and has been trying to look at apartments. We talked yesterday. He says "whatever. Everythings easy for you. Always has been"

    I feel like screaming IF YOU EVER PAID ATTENTION TO ME YOU'D SEE HOW HARD IT WAS! everytime i had a heartbreak, and id go to my big brother, he'd tell me to stop crying and get over it. So i stoped going to him.
    I want to scream at my sister DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I'VE CALLED MOM AND DAD FEELING LIKE A FAILURE AND JUST WANTING TO COME HOME??
    But she never cared and never answered her phone.
    Mom and dad were the ones who saw me through all of that and they know how i struggled and still struggle with "adulting".

    I want to help them, but im tired of being dismissed and them downplaying everything i've done because they never cared one bit about it until NOW when they want my help

    OnlyFans announced it will ban sexually explicit content starting next month. The good news is that @Homer Potvin and other restaurateurs should find it a lot easier to hire waitstaff.

    What are they thinking they’ll replace the explicit content with- book reviews?

    This is why I don’t associate with most of my family, they’re all manipulative-lying-soul-sucking leaches.

    My guess is that they'll replace it with a bankruptcy notice. They claim that the reason for the change is pressure from payment processors and a desire to attract more big-money investors. I wonder how many venture capital firms are run by people so stupid they don't know that sexual content is what made OnlyFans successful. I smell Woke Smoke.

    I'm drowning in waitstaff. What I need is linecooks. Like 4 of them at least. Still, this is the most hopeful labor pool news I've heard in months.

    I've never been there, but I thought it was a bespoke pr0nsite. Maybe they should check into Playboy's experimental year...

    That's what I understand, too. Mystery to me why anybody would pay for porn these days.

    OK. I'm reluctant to go looking online for fear of getting caught in some kind of viral warp, so please educate me: What do OnlyFans (what is OnlyFans?), porn, and Homer's restaurant employees have to do with each other? And what's a bespoke pr0nsite?

    (Am I wading into weird waters here?)

    OnlyFans is something of a fetish web site, where you can pay the ‘performers’ to act out fetishes for you. I have a customer at the shop who actually makes some good money on her foot fetish videos. She puts up two or three videos a week of her smashing cakes with her feet. People pay $100 a month to subscribe to her channel, if you want a custom video that’s extra. Exactly how much she makes I don’t know, but she’s not hurting for cash.

    strictly speaking you can use it for all sorts of stuff... there's bands and artists and like that...pretty much like patreon. However its best known for young women (in some cases girls below the age of consent) taking their clothes off

    The point about Homey and his staff is that during the pandemic a lot of people (mostly but not exclusively women) have turned to only fans for easy income... take that income away and they are more likely to go out and get a job

    From what I understand OnlyFans takes a nice healthy cut of the subscription fees too.

    Maybe two dozen different roses. There is a moss rose hedge, but the rest are specimen roses.

    Anxiety being a dick to me. Did some writing but my anxiety’s been putting me down about my creativity. -_- Why must it do this?

    Anxiety: “Your time is gone. You’ve had your chance. They moved on.”

    OnlyFans announced today it will reverse its sexual content ban. Somebody must have Googled 'Tumblr'.

    NOTHING! Because who can stand to read and write at the same time?!
    I think the LP that I just got has a pressing error on one of the songs. :( I don't know what to do about it. I don't want to send it back and end up with a worse copy, but I am just annoyed and a bit sad.

    I'm sorry that the guy is being a Karen. :friend:

    Hopefully everything got sorted out, and you won't have to
    deal with him again. :)
