She can do whatever she wants. I have tried very hard to make it clear I am not saying "She is doing it wrong!" But I have handled things different from her. I am currently working on a blog post about it. It isn't an easy th

I said I could not control what the world does. That doesn't mean I can't change the world. Those are two different concepts.

Yes, I figured. I have had a college class on homelesness and I run a homeless blog. The OP already replied and clarified. It is all good.

Thank you. I think I still don't really agree, but maybe I will mull it over and blog about it rather than try to talk about my reservations here.

The homeless generally don't have paid employment I would be interested in seeing your stats. I worked while homeless. I did freelance writing and, later, resume writing. I have known homeless individuals with regular jobs. I don&#x2

Her positioning of her public persona here is not doing her any favors. On the one hand, if she can get taken seriously while showing herself off as a sexy cyborg with her bod strongly highlighted, this may help break some stereotypes. On

My assumption is that the parent comment means, in part, that how we choose to do things like structure corporations and corporate compensation is a societal thing.

The top 10% share and top 1% share are increasing. The middle 40% and bottom 50% have gotten worse. The data in some of these graphs are for as few as three countries. It paints a picture of the rich milking the rest of the world for wealth

Limit colors to no more than 7. Important stuff should be "above the fold" -- aka should be visible without scrolling down. Less is more. Shoot for an engineering type "looking good" rather than an artsy "looking go

Maybe. I am getting a weird issue when trying to open a page for research I am doing for paid work. I can't get to the page and it offers to open as a PDF or something and then fails to open anything. Just more error messages follow.

I have a lot of personal issues, including being medically handicapped. One of the things I have learned in life: whatever I might dislike about myself and see as a bug, someone somewhere sees as a feature. Things like BDSM are pretty objec

I would say, money is not why you would want to move to Germany. It's social & medical insurance/stability/security. Comparing salary plus benefits is really hard. OP should try to put a number on the value of health in

Create a website for each. Add to it as things come up.

But, you don't make money that way. He is talking about selling photos, not giving them away.

Can you elaborate?

I work for a service called Textbroker. Unlike Upwork, it is not a race to the bottom. You can start off making very little and grow your income, potentially to a middle class level. It helped me get off the street. I sometimes recommended

Well, at the moment, I am just trying to direct people to a couple of websites. I have created flyers and I am looking for bulletin boards to post them. I would be willing to do meet-ups or something. Maybe if I were representing some reli

Not in this case. I live in a town with a high unemployment rate and lots of homeless. I am newly off the street and would like to help people in dire straights. They don't have money to spare.

The gut contains about 70 percent of your immune cells. Biofilms are a situation where infection essentially terraforms the body. I think it is a bit like how some plants grow in deserts and others grow on swamps, but larger forces determin

I am trying to do exactly that. One establishment would not post the flyer "because it might be a pyramid scheme." So simply being free seems insufficient. But, thank you.

There are BDSM groups. There are people into polyamory. There are fetish groups. Given how many "normal" people are into "weird" sex, the idea that a handicapped person is somehow less entitled to a sexuality looks to me

I live without a car. I work remotely. I barely showered for nearly 6 years (cough... while homeless). No one wants me as a role model. Note how the guy lecturing you to cancel your plane tickets went to Morocco with his wife. He has a geni

So, if you knew how to make money doing x and genuinely wanted to share that info, how would you do so effectively without being perceived as a scam artist?

I don't think there really is an equivalent in California. I searched for a small town with affordable housing and some minimal level of infrastructure. I found what I needed in another state. I work remotely, so my income is portable.

I actually find articles like this fairly upsetting to see. Presumably, it hits some nerve for me in terms of wanting to have a full and "normal" life in spite of my genetic disorder. In some sense, I can pass for normal in a wa
