>Labor: While I’m donating my time to keep this project going, let’s do some math and see what this would cost if I needed to make an income. Here’s my conservative daily breakdown in time spent I'm donating my time to do this so please give me money!
>If everyone who used this site gave $.50 a month, we can end this donation drive... until next month
Kirara☆
Iike it's one thing to say "I put a lot of work into this and would appreciate financial support so that I can continue" Don't pretend your "labor hours" are part of your site's hosting costs
I think people who have been doing these kinds of things are generally over financial ambiguity now. Sifting through shit is work. Especially if your hinge over everyone else is trying to be accurate and all-encompassing. Ever since I saw that site, that's what I thought. After the first week, I was like "shit dude, might as well work for a firm"
Because you can sit there and be financially ambiguous and hope for some dollars or you can be outright and tell people what you think it's worth and make deals with the crowd.
It's only dishonest if he's lying about his time. There's "hosting costs" and there's "monthly costs". He's not asking for money to host it, he's asking for money to continue doing the work period. So I can't call this dishonest.
Kirara☆
>How Much Does It Cost To Run This? Glad you asked! I did some back of the envelope math and I came up with $1,597.13/month. That’s a pretty conservative estimate, tbh. Cost to run translates to cost of keeping the site going which doesn't include being paid hourly for this
Yeah, and he goes out and says "Labor" I can't call it dishonest because that's just an assumption on what you think 'running' the site means. If he bundled it together in the costs of other things, maybe.
Kirara☆
You can't say you're donating your time if you are asking for payment
Well, he wasn't getting paid for it in the beginning so it's essentially a donation until he determines that it's not worth spending his time doing it without getting paid for it.
>>54381 Nope. Or, maybe he is, I don't know. If he keeps doing it without getting money, I guess he is. He really should just Patreon up and roll with that.
Kirara☆
To be clear, I don't think it's wrong to ask for donations I just think his way of asking for donations is absurd
Having attempted, seen, and done online work for pay both successfully and fruitlessly, I think it's alright. It's probably better to be upfront about costs like that really. I wish it was more of an acceptable thing. Once something becomes a constant burdensome upkeep, you really should be open about getting paid for it. It's time and effort. It might not be valuable to you, but that's the kicker. If it isn't worth it to people that they'd keep you eating, how valuable is it really? Might as well stop and do something else and let someone else make it a free service if it's no longer worth it.
Oh, he made the thing underneath the Is It Nude machine learning thing. Anyway, I'm not really going on about that guy in particular. Whether he makes money or not is kinda different to my point. It's really that even if he didn't have a 2.4M startup, people would still raise their eyebrow at the dude saying "this is taking up time and I'm gonna need to make money on it because it's a lot".
Anno
I don't think this guy is really asking for donations. I mean there is a donation page, but there isn't even a donate button on any pages.

Yeah because I won't be getting sent any raw audio files. The courts use this CourtSmart thing which compiles an executable directly during the hearing from the court clerk's inputs and the audio is embedded in that executable file directly and foot pedal is mandatory for this mandatory software so i can't take the audio and use my own software or anything
i'm making some adjustments though so it might be workable there's also some software that can let me bind keyboard inputs to the foot pedal so that's pretty cool i might do that and make some improvements but not this weekend this is no work weekend

>>>/watch?v=UBVV8pch1dM That reminds me, moon posted this the other day You might find it interesting
It's a great temperature. I think my mother just has trouble praising people. Has to find something to bitch about to make sure people don't get too happy.
I love praising people. Feels good although sometimes it feels too embarrassing and I don't do it.
Anno
I have lived with a ridiculous degree of trouble with praising myself for a long time. I really don't know which one I'd be happier picking. The long-term effects of constant self-deprecation are really miserable too.
You don't have to be self-deprecatory to have trouble praising yourself!
Anno
No, but for a normal person, finding worth and finding flaws in oneself are natural parts of being a human bean. And a lack of one leads to an imbalance. Or something.
>>54588 I was listening to a thing on improving mental health a while back, and it demonstrated something of a 3, 2, 1 structure. At the end of the day, you think of three things you accomplished, two things you could improve on, and one goal for the next day. I tried it but getting past three accomplishments was a considerable struggle, and I usually fell asleep before even completing it.
That seems like a recipe for depression. Everyone has days where nothing gets accomplished. That reeks of self-help armchair psychology bullshit to me!
>having to set a goal for each day I'd be impressed if I could find a goal for each month
Kirara☆
I don't set goals other than "be ok with how far you went" And then "go farther tomorrow" I don't set concrete anything
Koi-
goals are good unless you can't achieve them
Anno
>>54592 I dunno man, it's not like this is something with a uniform treatment and solution. The approach for help in situations differs from one person to the next. All I know is this one doesn't particular help me.

What was the anime that dame dame subs did? and had a purple ninja girl
Maybe I should reveal myself as Maddie to the world Maybe that'll help me get big on Twitter
>>54596 It's definitely different for everyone I'm a here-and-now kind of guy My methods probably wouldn't work for you
八十八
>>54591 Yeah, that doesn't sound good to me either It's more likely to bring attention to the things which can be viewed as flaws sometimes emotional maintenance is an accomplishment in itself. taking a day to escape or shelter yourself from stress can be an accomplishment, too if it was household maintenance, like cleaning up and doing laundry, people would recognize it's obviously productive but mental/emotional maintenance just looks like laziness
Kannagi
>>54600 Thanks! I was trying to remember the girl from it!
There are limits to how small something can be before you're not allowed to call it an accomplishment You didn't "accomplish" making your bed unless you're a fucking cripple
Anno
Are there? Where's the rules? What are the guidelines? Who wrote the laws on the limits?
Making your bed is an accomplishment when you go three months without doing it because what even matters in this room/world/existence ...My bed isn't even made right now
I try to let my emotions guide my actions as much as possible
trying to use logic to guide your actions when it comes to mental and emotional health i find ironically irrational as we lack complete information our emotions are more in-tune with our emotional needs than our sense of reasoning is
Because the word loses all fucking meaning when simply moving your leg is an accomplishment for a normal human being
Kirara☆
>>54615 thats not what I'm saying Re-read the post now that it's finished
Anno
>>54619 But a lot of people struggle with things that "normal human beings" can do easier than them. Most normal human beings can hold a job and go in to work most days. I fucking can't. Should it not be an accomplishment because I struggle to achieve it and others don't?
I don't think so. If you feel accomplished, it's an accomplishment.
I've needed to schedule a dentist checkup for a month but I keep putting it oFF. When I finally do it, it'll be an accomplishment.
Anno
Some weeks I consider taking a shower a fucking accomplishment. Because when I'm entirely apathetic to the world around me, personal hygiene feels so utterly pointless and unrewarding. And forcing myself to get in that shower and clean myself is a definite accomplishment over that feeling of futility.
It doesn't become meaningless The action itself might stop seeming like an accomplishment but "accomplishment" itself does not diminish. It's like working out. At first 10 pushups might have you wheezing. After a few days, you can belt out 30 and just think you need to stretch.
An important thing that can help a lot of people who are stuck deep in depression is to seize on those little accomplishments where they find them. Feeling like you've accomplished something can set you on a rolling track to accomplish something bigger and better next time. The important thing is to couple this with the tolerance that if you don't accomplish that thing, it's okay. You can try it again next time.
It's that telling myself that it's okay that's probably the part I struggle with the most.
>>54626 sometimes the accomplishment is maintaining your momentum, not slipping up or cutting corners but staying diligent washing these dishes after i finish eating immediately isn't an accomplishment not doing it gets sloppy though making a shift towards being more on top of things is an accomplishment. maintaining that shift is an accomplishment. hitting the gym for the first time can be an accomplishment for a lot of people. to someone who does it every day, it's not. but if they miss a day, it's fucking sloppy on their part. what they take pride in is hitting that gym consistently every day for years, never making excuses not to
we use the word like a discrete structure just for convenience it isn't it's a balance and collection that's in flux in our lives
My accomplishment goal for today is simply to not drink alcohol that's all i have to do is literally nothing and i've met my accomplishment tomorrow i'll have the same goal, and again the day after that
I have too many things I need to do. I wish I could be a more organised person.
Right now I'm chatting with Japanese friend and it is sometimes fustrating when I can't get the right words but I feel like it is accomplishment doing it at all.
It is arbitrary and that's what makes it different in every situation. There are no objective measures to accomplishment.
Anno
>>54635 I'd say I'm flattered, but really I just feel awkward. I dunno how it goes for others, but I don't really find value in people praising my attributes. I think I have a fairly good grasp on what they are and how I use them. But because I find it pretty -because I think I know them fairly well, I find it very acute where I'm not using them to their full potential. So people praising them just reinforces that...well, shame, I guess. It's not something I can easily convert into positive stimulation.
Every day that ends with my computer having more than 100GB of space is a small accomplishment.
Koi-
>>54643 I think if it's an accomplishment one day and not an accomplishment the next, there is probably another factor involved in making the activity an accomplishment.

They used to be so rudimentary that they just involved a pendulum or metal ball that clacked back and forth. Those were easy to trick by just shaking it a bit.

SNL hasn't been funny or relevant since any of us here were little children. They've also been using studio audiences for a long time too, they're another one of those that uses a clap sign.
The only reason you're paying attention to them now is because it's related to Trump.
Yeah but this guy is supposed to be fucking HYS TE RI CAL And he's doing an impression of THE MOST MOCKABLE MAN ON PLANET EARTH But it's not even offensive, it's just boring Even if I hated Trump like the plague, this wouldn't be funny because it's not even mocking Trump
It's just a guy dressed up vaguely similar to Trump, the extent of his makeup being a slight alteration in skin color and a slight dying of his hair And he's just... saying things The jokes aren't even sensical
How do you fuck up mocking Trump? Like how do you manage to do that? He's literally the most easily mocked person on this planet right now
SNL did the same thing to Geroge W Bush. It's just the way they are. It's like being mad at a leopard for its spots.

No I'm not mad at them for being unfunny OK I AM mad at them for trying and FAILING at being funny But why are people paying attention to this? It's just not comedic
SNL is not worth wasting your energy on. It's one of those shows that is not unlike a forced meme, it's pushed hard by the network but it's not really something people watch or are passionate about. It's just there.
Maybe Trump is actually just upset about it because Baldwin is literally the worst impression of him I've seen in my life It's a fucking tragedy happening on my screen, why is this ALLOWED AAA

>Looking back on it now, I should have expected this from Nintendo. This is the same company that created Birdo, a caricatured, trans Yoshi still considered male in Japan. This was the studio who introduced Tingle, a flamboyant oddball in a green onesie described as a man who thinks he’s a fairy (really subtle, guys). As late as 2015, they even wrote a sidequest for Fire Emblem Fates where you could “cure” a lesbian girl in your party, echoing the same conversion therapy nonsense responsible for countless queer deaths. While people rightfully chastise Nintendo for taking few chances with their venerated franchises, their outdated characterizations of queerness need more attention. Nintendo didn't write Fire Emblem Fates
