This looks like a scam.

Yes

This one…

Depends on who you ask:

Like the cartoon by Washington Post cartoonist Ann Telnae who resigned after her cartoon satirising newspaper’s owner Jeff Bezos and Trump was rejected.

Seems like they’re now running scared.

Not to mention illegal.

That schedule of fees looks like it’s straight from the 1980’s.

I read a social media expert thread that essentially pointed out that the news cycle is now so rapid that doing nothing for a couple of days is better than doing anything because any response at all will be met with more news cycle.

If it was my problem to solve, here’s how I’d go about it, since I know nothing about either.

Start with the solar panels since the barrier to entry is much lower and after they’re installed, you don’t need to do much with them.

Then use your spare time to learn about beehives and go from there.

If that’s what installing Linux is like I don’t want to know what installing Windows looks like.

Also, in unrelated news, I’m now available for Linux installs…

I published using the Kindle store. It’s not for everyone, but it scratched my itch. I framed my first cheque as a “published author” … I didn’t make any money, but that’s not why I published.

You don’t need anyone’s approval, you don’t need to pay anyone you don’t want to and you can do it from anywhere with an internet connection.

I’m not sure what you are trying to tell us when you call yourself a visibly trans person. What you are inside your mind is rarely what is visible on the outside.

So, helping trans people, absolutely, but how about you, who is looking out for you?

Take it one step at a time. Practice makes perfect and it’s likely that you’ll fail many times before you succeed. Keep ar it. You can do this!

You can speak your mind and still be kind and considerate. You tend to catch more flies with honey and after a while nobody resents a hard truth in the mix.

On the other hand, being less considerate about truth means that people will ignore you or worse actively fight you just to spite you.

You definitely don’t have to be passive, but you don’t have to be a dick about your truth.

Note that I’m not saying that you’re planning to be a dick, just that I’ve been where you are and don’t wish that on anyone.

That does take away the fun of breaking the rules when you used a knife anyway, but you make a valid point. No orangutan near the box. Right. Does anyone have a chimpanzee I can borrow?

Money.

Doing this type of research is extremely time consuming so research needs funding, to eat food and pay rent and even if you discover things worth sharing, the current legal system often prevents you from publishing it, which costs more money to fight.

I never understood how you should open such a box, but this seems like the way forward.

Staying alive, having fun, sharing with friends.
