Are they hiring?

Next headline: "IRS Agents receive scrutiny for buying an excess of facial tissues."

[–] lemmyng@piefed.ca 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The large drums of lotion however didn't raise any suspicion.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's winter, the air is dry.

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago

That reminds me that I actually do need to go get more lotion.

Sweet gig if you can get it.

Having never used OF, I assumed it was a pay to access content model, I guess they additionally allow tipping, which isn't a surprise, I assume there's also a pay for specific content creation model. But what I don't know is if the tipping, while linked to a creator, is linked to a specific piece of content. If it isn't, wouldn't a creator with any amount of mixed content be hard to evaluate? You couldn't prove the tipping was related to an excluded category in that case.

Almost like the "Big Beautiful Bill's" language wasn't very well thought out.

I mean, why exclude this random subsection of work in the first place.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

Yes, you can tip on individual posts.

[–] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

OnlyFans has steadfastly maintained that it is not explicitly a pornographic site. I imagine if a ruling went out that every tipped interaction on the site was considered pornography, they would step in on behalf of the content creators to try to whittle that down to case-by-case rulings, for no other reason than PR alone.

Tipping into the silly now…

I can’t wait until someone issues a FOIA for the deliberations over whether certain things are pornographic or not.

Remember when OF banned porn in 2021? 😆

[–] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

That lasted longer than I thought it would. It took what, a week for them to cave?

[–] kyonshi@piefed.social 15 points 1 month ago

That might take some time. And a lot of agents. To... you know... review footage. A few times a day maybe.

[–] caboose2006@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How do I apply to the IRS? HOW DO I APPLY TO THE IRS?!

[–] caboose2006@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do I have to be a U.S. citizen?

[–] caboose2006@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

You have to be eligible to work in the US.

[–] yarr@feddit.nl 10 points 1 month ago

Hell, I'll do this for free.

[–] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 month ago

Wild to see my hard-earned tax money's going to people who are paid to watch porn.

[–] Aneb@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Hell yes this what the Internal Revenue Service is for. Micro managing people trying to sell images of their bodies and not the Billionaires selling images of other's bodies, marketing and stuff. Let's use are resources to investigate the rain drop and not the fucking hurricane good job agents! /s

[–] huquad@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago

Yeah boss, I'm gonna need to expense these tissues and this gallon of lotion.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I bet the boss of those agents will be all too happy to walk back and forth between cubicles. You know, for moral support

But the 'm' is silent? (I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere)
