No one's going to pay to see my body so that's out of the picture (lol).

Yah dabbling in crime is only going to end with me in prison or dead.

Begging realistically isn't going to get me anything, so if I have another (legit) option no.

MLM are just morally bankrupt and frankly I'd take selling dope over it.

So Walmart it is.

onlyfans as a part of the productive process here is only a means of promulgating said images, it is no different to a physical delivery service in that sense. the means of production here is the recording/photo capture equipment. as the camperson using onlyfans thus uses this equipment while applying their labour, they are petty bourgeois categorically.

For me the order is Crime, Cam, Walmart, MLM, Begging.

Making drugs isn’t really that hard and can make lots of money.

Cam won’t be that bad as I’m actually pretty good looking and I’d expand it to more than just single actor.

Walmart if I have to

MLM is a no because I’m not a salesman

It's a niche market in the first world. I'll be rich.

On crime, I could probably be even richer. But the killing people that I eventually have to do, sounds like a lot of work, and I don't like waking up early in the morning.

You think multiple level marketing is worst?!?!?!?!?!?

Marketing is like the most important thing out there. Me personally I love marketing hate dealing with people though, probably won't be my job of choice.

Cam, naw I don't want to deal with that on judgment day.

Wal-Mart, my father used to work at Wal-Mart, overtime of course and he said that it sucked lots of walking.

Crime, same as Cam above.

And beggars can't be choosers so.

Marketing is not a problem. Multi-Level Marketing is. Marketing is, to be absolutely fair, a grey area. Some actual products from ethical companies can be marketed and advertised in a decent manner, there are a lot of good places there. MLMs, you are just going in there with the promise of hitting Platinum when in reality you probably have spent $10,000 worth of seminars, their products no one wants, and you will have more sellers competing against you than before, if you managed to convince your entire social circle to start doing MLMs.

This.

It being a shitty job implies you should be looking for better options elsewhere, and some (e.g. cam/crime) are almost certainly impossible to keep doing for the rest of your life.

I also disagree that the "crime" option (or specifically drugs) is ethically neutral, given you're still contributing to an industry that brings a lot of misery to the world. Sure, if it'd be legal it might be a different story, but then it wouldn't be "crime".

It seems that cam is my only option, and it has reasons:

- Walmart is dying on my country
- I would probably be arrested easily.
- I would probably receive nothing in the end of the day, if I beg.


So, I only have one option.

Oh no.

The begging option given was more crime i think than the crime option. I do view MLM's as a criminal activity, and my knees couldn't take being an onlyfans star. So its still my second choice.

You do have a point though, its the "benign" illegal activity that finances the murder and intimidation of organized crime.
