Patreon is a system which can be used to set up a form of patronage for any given entity on the web. The pitch though is generally the same as many others with if you like my work then please support it. There is a somewhat different twist with Patreon but the details aren't important at the moment.
The first move is to get an account established with Patreon and that's relatively straight-forward with the expectation of links to social services you frequent, etc.
Then comes to bit about connecting to Discord and wtf is that?
Happily, Discord has a setup aspect required as well so the current circumstance is Patreon and Discord are properly connected but I have not launched the site as yet.
This is where you may take some amusement since Patreon asked if there is anything on the resource with nudity and lying about that is stupid. However, there is reason to lie since replying in the affirmative means Ithaka won't be included in Patreon's searches.
Peewee Herman: you're back where you started! Ha ha!
Not exactly, bud. The situation is unusual but not played through yet.
Peewee Herman: grow up and get rid of the nudity!
Well, Peewee, when I was growing up, I thought one of the big perks of being an adult was then you get all the nudity and (gasp) you're part of it. When I became an adult, I discovered the important thing was to conceal the nudity because, you know, the children.
Peewee Herman: it's kind of a mixed-up way people have and no-one knows that better than I
Yep, you seriously fucked-up, mate, but you really didn't do anything except exemplify the principle the world is full of bullshit and bad decisions.
Peewee Herman: thanks for that soul shattering laser of love!
Don't play dumb with me, bud. You know the trick is finding the parts which aren't like that.
Peewee Herman: like marzipan?
Now you're getting it.
It's a reach to say I'm angered by any idea Ithaka is pornographic and dangerous to children but I'm a little tired of the puritanism. I will not bloody censor the material here since that kind of arbitrary self-constraint for no positive purpose is unacceptable.
I posted a pic earlier of Jaime Pressly who is quite possibly the hot blondie dream date for any young man and the photograph was an exceptional portrait which said many things at once. (Ithaka: "Pink Flamingoes" and the History of America)
The picture could be removed from the article but it would flatten the point of it and I'm not willing to impose that, particularly for arbitrary reasons.
Most likely I will finish the setup for Patreon later tonight or tomorrow but the evening's first intellectual endeavor involves "Dark Star," a movie which is kind of a cross between "Star Wars" and "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." It's one of the worst but best sci movies ever made. The effects are so awful it makes them cool and John Carpenter made the movie for peanuts maybe as his first film project.
The contest is whether Ed Wood or John Carpenter does bad sci effects the best and soon I shall know. Finally the matter will be settled.
