Yeah, there are two ways to make good money in porn. The first way is to be one of the lucky 0.001% who make it big, and essentially become a household name.

The second is to find a niche, (or even a niche within a niche), and make a name for yourself within that circle. The more taboo ones can be especially lucrative. This will largely depend on your personal kinks and physical traits though, so there’s not a ton of wiggle room in this regard.

There’s a reason so many trans women end up doing porn at some point; There’s a surprisingly big demand for it, and not many trans women to do it. So those who do usually end up making some decent money. Especially if they can find a niche within that niche. Basically, a trans woman may make good money, but a trans woman willing to do weird stuff will likely make even more. It’s also why furries are willing to pay so much for yiff art. Many artists aren’t willing (or practiced enough) to do it, so those who do are able to demand high prices.

KingCobraJFS was one of the early internet troll targets. Sometimes called a lolcow, in the “you can use this person to farm lols” way. 4chan saw his early YouTube uploads, and quickly realized they could troll the hell out of him. He was mentally unstable, and always took the bait that trolls laid out for him.

Chris chan was basically the OG lolcow. She was an early YouTube uploader who obviously had mental issues, and 4chan bullied the hell out of her. And she always responded, which only fed the trolls even more. IIRC, she’s where a lot of the old shittily-drawn Sonic the Hedgehog memes came from, because she was trying to make a comic featuring Sonichu:

I think it’s technically possible, but your IP likely isn’t static, especially if you’re using a VPN. You’d need a new cert every time your IP changed.

Younger generations seem to treat basic conversation as cringeworthy. Like the fact that you’re even talking to them is seen as appalling, regardless of the context.

I’ve seen kids walk up to a register at a fast food joint, then act surprised and put off when the cashier asked for their order. Like the cashier was in the wrong for initiating a conversation. Oftentimes, the kid won’t even respond until the cashier is like “ooookay, uhh… If you’re not ready to order, can you step out of line?”

The best description I’ve seen for it is “they’re waiting for the dialog options to load.” Because it 100% looks like they’re just waiting for some external force to move the conversation along. It reminds me of when boomers get the lead paint stare while waiting for the card reader to finish reading their chip. The machine will just be dinging at them to remove their card, the cashier will be like “Uhh sir? Please take your card” and the boomer will act surprised. Like they were just stuck in a loading screen while the rest of the party was already pulling mobs.

You can also just run something like Cloudflare-DDNS to automatically update your IP directly with cloudflare. If a domain registrar already manages your domain, there’s little reason to rely on a third-party service for DDNS.

Yeah, my only note is that Docker on Windows is… Kinda fucky? It uses WSL to run Linux in the background, which means that the volumes it creates aren’t easily accessible by Windows. If your container requires editing a config.json, for instance… That can be daunting for a newbie on Windows, because they won’t even know how to find the file.

You can work around this by mounting your volumes directly to a C:\ folder instead, but that’s something that many tutorials just completely skip past because they assume you already know that.

To Microsoft’s credit, they have historically been very good about ensuring backwards compatibility. There are a few notable exceptions, but for the most part you can treat Windows as if it is DOS, and it still mostly works.

On the surface, I can understand this. It’s not the server’s fault that they got the happy hour rush when everything is 50% off. If anything, they had to work harder because it was busier. Why punish them for that extra work with lower tip calculations? The drinks aren’t any easier or faster to pour just because they’re half off. It should at least be transparent, but I at least understand the reasoning.

What does bug me is when the tip calculations are based on the after-tax total. Fuck that, I’m already getting taxed 10% on this, you don’t need your 18% calculated from that extra 10%.
