As noted above, in addition to Patreon, you can do a tip jar. Here are some of my posts on tip jars, including instruction on how to create one: http://micheleincalifornia.blogspot.com/search?q=tip+jar I don't get a lo

Respectfully, this is a broken mental model. Patreon and a tip jar are a much better approach to trying to monetize small websites. It can be done, though it isn't easy. Also, almost no one "makes a fortune" at this stuff. So

I appreciate your comment. I mean that sincerely. But, here is the rut I can't find any way out of that I tried to avoid commenting on because it seems like a great way to put out the fire with gasoline, but I am a woman. So when I cam

I'm not on my death bed, but I wish to hell and back I could work more. I'm sick to death of being poor. I'm broke today. I hate it so fucking much. Half of that equation is that I have health issues, so sometimes I am just t

Sigh. I am really really bad at this. I ask a question. The reply is often defensive. Conversation fails to happen, often coming to a screeching halt. I am not trying to dump a project in your lap. I really appreciated your comment. It make

UBI can be a hard sell because it is a koan of fairness, activating one’s empathy and rage simultaneously. The income is meant to support people who desperately need it as well as wealthy hipsters who just don’t feel like working. The one

You are entitled to your views. But, I don't want my remarks about amends conflated with penance. I replied at all because of this line: I'd just once love to see one of these abusers make some kind of serious penance. I conside

Amends and penance are not the same thing. Amends are about reparations for the victim. Penance is about suffering for the perpetrator. These things are mostly not related.

Well, it is sort of weak. But: A) How many actually good examples do we have to draw upon? Most such things are pretty blatant attempts at saving face. This at least has some sincerity to it. B) He isn't justifying, excusing or denying

I think the answer to that is long and complicated. But a couple of things readily come to mind: First, since sex is inherently dangerous for a long list of reasons, I suspect humans will never entirely escape an association between danger

I am well aware of that. This explanation is kind of insulting. Furthermore, I cited my source. If people are that concerned, then look up the original study instead of "helpfully" busting my chops. If you find it was misrepresen

It is about 4:30 am where I am. I should be asleep, but I am failing to sleep. So, I am not at my best here and most of the replies to me in this particular thread have been far from ideal. But here is my take on it: I have spent a great ma

My conclusion is that women generally value "love" and a serious relationship over casual encounters because a somewhat high degree of trust is a prerequisite for female orgasm to occur. So, when a woman is trying to arrange a rel

You might try searching for studies where they did MRIs or other brain scans of people masturbating to orgasm. I think that was the study I saw on the TV show. But it has been a few years.

Predators were, themselves, victims first. Your approach is broken on the face of it. It entirely disregards one set of victims, those so damaged they spread the issue. Prevention is the only answer that is compassionate to all the victims,

I was raped once, 40 years ago. I was 12. As an adult, I have never been assaulted. Your lack of knowledge about how to do this is not evidence it cannot be done. If you are genuinely interested, there are links in this very discussion t
