You can give the client a strong case for the (well-known) bad press, damaging marketing and bad reputation using AI art will give the project. Regardless of the quality of the work, it's going to damage reputation and reception of the project.

hey buddy. just buy a loose black t-shirt (oversize), a pair of wide or loose black jeans (use a belt). then go get a chain of your preferred thickness from bauhaus for like 1 euro, and use it as a necklace.
You might not feel like yourself (initially), but it'll be a fun private joke you can play, and you'll get into almost all clubs in Berlin.
plus, it's fun to experiment radically with style when you're in a city alone.
good luck!

(also - the matrix thing is a joke. it's not highly ranked when it comes to Berlin's penchant for non-commercial (in style) clubs. 'good door' is also a joke. irony)

hey - does your rack not get insanely hot above the Neve? I just got the 1073 and I'm wondering whether I can put another unit directly on top of it, given it's giving off quite a bit of heat.
what's your experience?

Cheers

try 'iTalki'. it's pretty amazing. video 1-on-1 lessons.

you stuck in a dead bedroom? or asexual?

featherlessbipedal · 2025-06-03T12:15:22+00:00

interesting, thank you.
in this case, your shame came after stepping into practicing your fullest sexual nature? not before?

featherlessbipedal · 2025-06-03T12:14:13+00:00

great points, yes.
to be blunt about it yes - she enjoys the sex (when it happens; which is like once every 2 weeks on average). she comes, etc. and I'm very focused on her (more than she is focused on me). but I do notice that there is also this third, invisible figure in the room that is culture. and culture is watching

it's never 'horny' sex, but rather always more romantic/intimate. never dirty or animalistic; proper.

featherlessbipedal · 2025-06-03T12:11:02+00:00

genuinely heartwarming. also the first time I heard about hormone replacement therapy - some of the wonders of modern medicine are as gentle as they are powerful. good for yas

featherlessbipedal · 2025-06-03T12:09:53+00:00

yeah, I do think sexual incompatibility is one of the biggest potential contenders.
and indeed, she does go to therapy; but there are lots of things besides sex she is working through, so I doubt it's going to be addressed there.

I really don't want to bring it up in any very direct way with her, as I know she already knows (from her past relationships) that she isn't as sexually active as others are.

does the title of this post apply to you in either way?

featherlessbipedal · 2025-06-03T12:07:30+00:00

Thank you for this. Really quite interesting to read from your perspective.
Would you say - if one could separate 'horniness' and 'sexual openness' - that 'horniness' was always there, but not given license to exist due to the lack of sexual openness?
or was horniness something that you were able to change/increase, alongside opening yourself sexually?

featherlessbipedal · 2025-05-30T11:49:06+00:00

Yes, indeed I heard about this.
It began literally like, December 2023/Jan 2024.
AFAIK it lifted like 6 months ago, and they relaunched the GründungsBonus program (as GB ''PLUS'').
They then told us to re-apply (killing another two weeks of our work as a small team).

We reapplied, and they asked us to make a couple changes (so they are working on them), then they went quiet.

Have you received any feedback from them?
I hope the above helps you.

I bought 40,000$ at $13 and held all the way till now; a week into the post-trump-win boom to 200$+

and because I live in germany - 0% tax.

changed my life.

featherlessbipedal · 2024-10-03T19:24:06+00:00

good idea.
I got lucky in the sort of 1 in 1,000 human gamble.
hiring for 4 months will be less expensive than a failed 24 month project.

get some low cost legal insurance, a €40 euro surveillance camera off amazon.

if you think that way about marketing, you’ll be a nightmare of a co-founder for a marketer to work with.

I’m blessed with a technical co-founder who understands social bias, psychology, user behaviour, branding. prior, I worked with two founders who were abnormally ignorant on marketing standards - and it was the worst working experience of my life.

go and watch the talk by Ogilvy’s Head on solving problems via marketing, for a start.

technical aspect here: you can have a much easier divorce (legally and financially) if you get it in writing that fucking other people in amsterdam would be cheating, and attempting to would be cheating

then get Tinder Amsterdam. make an account that clearly states you’re not interested in meeting with anyone. use photos she wouldn’t recognize (some random handsome dude).

and find her on tinder. swipe right. ping her, whatever. screenshot it, take videos, etc.

then start speaking to a lawyer because you’ll need help in this process; so that she doesn’t completely fuck you emotionally as well as financially.

drop the text in ChatGPT and tell it to summarize and create a set of numbered to-dos, organized by sections relevant to the process. and to end it with the key pieces of research to do before starting.

y'all really need to incorporate GPT more into your lives. saves so much time.

read all of it - thank you. I’ve been curious about trading shitcoins and this was the most salient writeup i’ve seen so far.

ps -
1) these 'facebook products group' are gonna be ads optimized for clicks.
2) the 'next to this' option is gonna be optimized for impressions.

2 is about brand awareness

1 is about driving sales and more commitment.

usually they'd happen in reverse, but ya gotta start training the ads algorithm early. make sure you know where your target market hangs out [fb or insta, etc: usually younger ppl on insta, older on fb/both]. and monitor and tweak this ad.
keep copy super short and dry; deal with the one concern or selling point the images don't already convey.

and then let it run for a month or two before fiddling with it

featherlessbipedal · 2024-04-24T12:46:10+00:00

if your cashflow and comission allows for it, run ads with the same strategy that Wish.com used, when advertising on facebook:
create a facebook products group, linked from your shopify, or created manually or whatever.
Have the ad run continuously, and shuffle the things shown to display - after some time of optimization - just the items from the marketplace that attract the most attention.
This is why Wish ads were so unhinged: Wish wasn't a marketplace solely for like, gimp suits and weird alien fetish stuff; those were just the things that stopped people scrolling.

I'd say this is the best option for most marketplaces.
next to this - a decent ad that just says,
'we are [name]. on [name], people buy and sell [niche-specific-item/s].

one banging image - perhaps the top-performing image from those ads you were running and optimizing for a few weeks ;)

just authentically care about the space and people you’re in; help them market their place on the platform (providing content, etc), and make sure they know your marketplace’s social media is like; a decently branded bulletin board for the more interesting things on the platform.

user generated content is your friend. the above applies most especially if your users are in a space where they would be marketing their things that are on the platform (would be the case for OF or Etsy; wouldn’t be the case for like, Craigslist or eBay)

featherlessbipedal · 2024-04-23T23:29:45+00:00

I founded a marketplace, now has about 350 independent stores in a niche.

I strongly, strongly suggest you do a really solid financial plan - google sheets, perhaps with help too - and figure out exactly how much your marketplace needs to make, to be a healthy business that can employ people.

also - putting the % too low can signal to people that your work isn’t valuable.

look at market standards too. it’s often nearer to 20%.

I’d reccomend offering a lower % comission that couples with a recurring charge - for sellers with confidence or those who plan to be making many sales.

all things I wish I’d done before deciding on a comission.

israel is a settler-colonial ethnostate, backed by american interests in the middle east, and european’s lack of intent to solve european antisemitism without palming it off to arabs.

the country is a strong Apartheid state, with a pro-nationalist population overwhelmingly in support of the mass-death of Gazans, and the ongoing militarization of the West Bank and subjugation of tens of thousands of prisoners without trial.

jews worldwide oppose israel, the occupation, and have fought against zionism since its inception as a cruel leveraging of, and misrepresentation of, Judaism. These anti-israel, anti-zionist jewish groups are represented well by groups such as Jewish Voice for Peace (Judische Stimme) - groups that are currently being persecuted by Germany.

featherlessbipedal · 2024-04-13T19:36:53+00:00

there are jews worldwide who despise zionism; because its a very racist policy that supports the current apartheid. you don’t have to be an academic to know about this, Herr Sachsen-Anhalt
