No, I would rather do a side job than selling my nude body - even if I was to keep it as anonymous as possible. I feel very strongly about unauthorized people seeing my private parts - and by unauthorized I mean anyone I don't have a sexual affection for.
And I would be ashamed even more if friends, colleagues or family got a hold of my OF and somehow figured out it was me (for example super drunk me could easily leak myself for whatever stupid reason).
I am aware that I would likely have a fanbase as I am a slim short king in my early 20s but I am making enough with my job and the regular IT stuff my friends and family come up with (building & upgrading PCs, fixing software & hardware issues, helping with privacy issues, selfhosting and smart home tech... the standard stuff) and I feel that I would make less or have less relaxed quality time if I was to do OnlyFans.
As for your friend. If they have any hobby they could make a side job (like I am doing with IT service) I would do that before. I got a creative artist friend who makes artworks and puts them on Etsy and another one does music & patreon and keep OnlyFans as the nuclear option.

Elon only likes countries if and for as long as they do what he wants/likes. Like when he said "Germany rocks" because they allowed him to clear quite a chunk of forest in a water protection area to build his Tesla gigafactory. And now he doesn't like Germany because his donation to a controversial right wing nationalist party is seen as controversial and disliked by the media and public for being foreign interference.
He may like Russia because / as long as he is ideologically aligned to but I am not sure if he loves China except that they let him manufacture his cars cheaply. But I am not the author so I can only make assumptions.
He sent Kadyrow a Cybertruck but idk if his friendship with Russia goes beyond that. Btw would a Cybertruck be considered a gift or an insult?
I absolutely love the Austrian Social Democrats flag. The three arrows mean crush fascists, crush capitalists and crush the reactionary.
Wenn man schon doppelt sieht und aus 1% 11% werden, dann sollte man aber aufhören zu trinken.

My bad I saw the ones from hexbear and world (and I don't think world would like to discuss this so hexbear would likely be the c/politics).
Smh it still feels odd to me to see discussion posts in a news community - at least for a specific topic (if it was a general discussion abt the Syrian civil war it wouldn't bother me that much tbh)
But I understand why you shared it here a bit more now on the other hand. ^^
These are actually interesting numbers. I do not doubt them and -0.99 pop growth per 1000 is "not great not terrible". Upon searching I stumbled upon a world bank statistic claiming that China has had a -0.1 growth rate in 2023 but I assume they are calculating per 100 and just rounded -0.99 / 1000 to -0.1 / 100.
Now there are some developed countries that did worse than China (ahem Germany, Poland, Japan - I leave Russia and Ukraine out of this since both are actively decimating their population) but there are also a lot of developed countries who did better: Australia with 2.4, Czechia with 1.8, Spain with 1.2, ...
Two numbers I also want to mention are the US with 0.5 and the EU as a whole with 0.2. So China is not far away from the West although both are still growing whilst China is still shrinking but the trend is your friend. It would interest me if migration has already been included (I'd say yes) because that usually benefits the growth rate of the US and EU (and is something both are actively fucking up as we speak thanks to conservative ultranationalists).
If you want to look through the numbers yourself: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.POP.GROW?name_desc=false
In case I messed up the numbers or anything else lemme know - it's 5:30 am CET and I am extremely tired but the numbers sparked my interest. ^^
