Update for Everyone VII: Insert Something Philosophical Sounding Here

[Antonio the Sixth]

Some good news: I got off the phone with my psychiatrist recently.  He's increasing my Lyrica dosage and prescribing me Lithium, which I haven't tried before.  That should help with the depression as well as my ADD.  I'll be able to pick both up tomorrow.

For now I'll be researching medical centers in my area that give patients TMS, but it takes a long time to be considered as a candidate and it's also very expensive, so hopefully we'll find a place that accepts my Medicaid plan.

I wish you all the best, Scott. I can't imagine what you're going through, but I know you deserve much better, and I hope you can get all the help you need. Please stay strong.

I'd recommend people watch Circus of Books on Netflix. It's the intersection of family, commerce, porn and gay community. If you're a [/prude], I'd especially reccomend it; it's a story you need to hear.

Gave out my digits to two female medical students today. I couldn't quite see their faces owing to the PPE, but we chatted and one even stuck something up my nostril, so safe to say it's been a good day so far.

Bad news, guys. Before I left, both of them called me "negative". Alas, I may never see them again.

Just lick a park bench or something. You’ll be back in no time?

Just bought a bike rack. Finna blow a whole wad of cash on a mountain bike I'll never have time to use on this current schedule.

Yesterday I had to drive to Memphis and back on less than an hour of sleep over the previous 2 days. To think I used to think having to drive to Nashville and back in the same day was a lot.

Now I feel sick, oh well. If I die I die.

According to my friend, Dangerous Dave, he said it is for models on Instagram to monetize their brand. Let's take Sweden's top Instagram model, Anna Nystrom with 9M followers.

Dangerous said she was the hottest Instagram model at the moment.

Now I don't know what proportion of her followers are men, but whatever she is doing, she is pullin' in the fans.

Now if she wanted to monetize that following with men, she would create an OnlyFans website, and charge people $20 per month.

Let's say 10% of her followers are men who go for it, and agree:

900,000 * $20 per month is $18M per month in income.

Now Dangerous Dave said that a more realistic situation is with a model with only 500,000 followers who is starting to plateau. She has fitness videos, live streams and plenty of dedicated social media followers.  And 10% of her followers then fork out $20 per month to gain access to her OnlyFans page.

50,000 * $20 per month is $1M per month in income.

For someone even not even remotely famous with 50,000 followers, if her fan base is dedicated enough to convert 10% into paying OnlyFans members:

5,000 * $20 per month is $100,000 per month in income.

There is your answer.

yeah no i get the motivation for the people selling, what i dont get is the people buying lmao like what motivates somebody to spend money on that when there r so many free alternatives including having actual sex?

Dangerous Dave said it is because the men have fallen in love with these Instagram models over time, and their basic biological senses and functions are tricked into opening their wallets and sending $20 online.

Perth's top Instagram model for example does not ask anyone for anything. All of her income comes from clothing designers paying her to model their gear.

[Wikipedia delenda est]

Does anyone else have an obsessive relationship with post editing? Recently I've become something of a compulsive post editor, and it's starting to drive me mad. Whenever I think of a new or better phrasing for a post, I feel as if I must edit it. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if I end up editing this very post, whether it be in a few minutes, hours, or days. I wish there was some way to disable post editing, as it would help me keep my sanity.

Understood.

I am a serial post-editor. I dont want people quoting me until i have finished editing.

And if you are the next post, no need to quote. And if i post 7 images, even less reason to fully quote.

The ultimate nightmare is if the thread gets locked and your post has a grammatical error. It remains like that forever.

I feel like I have become much more right-wing in terms of rhetoric and attitudes (even if my actual issue positions have not changed) since the coronavirus started due to my anger at the idea of mass quarantines (which I opposed long before it was somewhat mainstream to do so).  It's as if my moderation in tone over the last few years has been completely undone by the two months of this.

I understand. I feel like in 2 months I've reradicalized in certain areas after 10 years of moderation.

My guess is the movies will reopen next week (granted there's going to be nothing to show) given that Governor Lee seems to be using a Monday-Wednesday-Friday schedule for reopenings (such as close-contact businesses tomorrow and recreation like bowling and mini golf on Friday).

Another urbex-related accident. Maybe not as dramatic as "that time when Kalwejt nearly drowned and never got the chance to made a thread about", but my left hand will likely be out of commission for a couple of days.
