You’re a complete fucking moron. Artists don’t spend ten years practicing so stupid fucks like you can say “derp, don’t get paid for your work, do it for the fun of it.” Go fuck yourself. Being an artist takes more time, work, and skill than almost any other profession out there.

Yiff.Party was originally an experiment, its admin, who wouldn’t give his name, told me over e-mail. It blew up on 8chan’s furry message board. “The site’s mission is simply to make paid Patreon content available for free,” he told me. “We’re not out to get creators or make them lose income.”

Oh seriously, shut the fuck up. I usually try to be more cogent and measured, but did you actually just say...

Nah.

Some artists have the luxury of doing it for themselves, considering profit to be a “bonus.” These people are already either independently wealthy, or have family who can help to support them while they work.

Most working artists expect—and rightfully so—to be paid for their work. They work in advertising,…

Go jump off a bridge. Just because someone happens to enjoy their work doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be paid for it. You can’t just walk into a bakery and steal a loaf of bread just because the baker likes baking.

Artists do it for themselves and the profit is a bonus. The term starving artist exists for a reason.

“Artists do it for themselves and the profit is a bonus. The term starving artist exists for a reason.”

“How dare artists expect to get paid for their work.”

Yes. So that other people can profit off of the labor of artists without having to pay them and then feel good about themselves for doing it.

Are my partner and I the only couple on the planet that never wake up at the same time? Some of this is great, but many times, due to conflicting schedules, we wake up hours apart and if he clicked a button that kicked up the heat, turned on the lights, and started playing music at 6am I would kill him.

I think her point is that someone is not fundamentally worth less as a human being if they haven’t completed grad school. Not that the LW shouldn’t be very proud of finishing grad school.

Uhhh it sounds to me like Catherine realized what a nightmare her family was and peaced the fuck out a long time ago. #TeamCatherine.

To the post-grad living at home: Maybe I misunderstood, but it seems like your parents are playing you and Morgan off each other (you reading texts on Mom’s phone - I assume with her permission?). Or, at the least, your parents should be firmly and resolutely stopping your sister from hurling about all of these false…

Gaming fandom is a cancer. Holy shit, this is embarrassing as a human being.

This. I am very curious why he was pumping his own gas. *Insert somethingsomething Oregon*

I’m all for increasing access for people with disabilities so this is cool.

That being said can we all just stop using Twitter now? Its a garbage platform largely used by garbage people.

At least his wipers won’t stick to the windshield. #silverlining

The cans should also be color coded - it’s usually red for gasoline, yellow for diesel and tan/black/blue for water.

In his defense, storing anything other than gas in a gas can is not a wise move. Unless it had huge labels on it.
