There are really smart Chinese in the deep South of the USA.
Why are they there? They needed Chinese to blast tunnels for the railroads.
They bought in Chinese workers who knew how to work with explosives.
Most Americans didn't the skills or training required. |

Do you have a job right now?
It is hard to get a job if you don't have one.
I know a lady with excellent qualifications that took an entry level data entry job after raising some kids.
She is now one of the top ten employees in pay. |

| I just had an idea today! How about data migration from an old website to a new one! There may not be a simple way for a business to get their old content transferred to a new one. Someone could do that from home! There may be hundreds of thousands of links and documents to move. Somone with autism ... |

| Welcome! I told my wife I as transgender before we got married but we still got together for 15 years until she passed from ALS. She was convinced I had autism but these days I think it is because my hard wired body language is female rather than male. The mismatch is gone now that I present female!... |

Part of the confusion is conflating gender with sexuality.
It may be less confusing to separate the two.
Most folks agree that a woman can be attracted to men. Heterosexual.
Woman can be attracted to other women. Lesbian.
Woman can be attracted to both men and women. Bisexual. |

| I have a Hello Kitty pair of scissors that I use all the time for cutting up food. I also have Hellow Kitty two surfboard clips that I used when I had cats.

| Like many here, I often found it awkward to socialize for decades. But, I discovered when I changed my gender presentation from male to female, I could do things automatically and the other person would respond without confusion. Could I have been learning the wrong gender clues? Maybe my appearance... |

| An issue is having the proper print driver for your printer. I've recall having a Canon printer that didn't work for a while until they finally provided a driver for my semi-old operating system. Similarly, I have an old Nikon D70 camera. They have RAW software, but only for Win 10 and 11, so I boug... |

| I think dating sites only work for a few. They may be more useful if you are looking for something specific and are willing to start a long distance relationship and move to someplace new. Or live in a big city with a huge dating pool like Phiilly, Boston, or NYC. But not a smaller city like Hartfor... |
