Hello SmartyPant, Call me and pardon me for acting as a gatecrasher, if OP isn’t interested or the opportunity is open for more than one person, I’d love if I can be given an opportunity to prove myself.
It's open but 100% of the people i've referred have failed so to prevent us from wasting each others time, please let me know: what qualifies you to be a tech writer?

Yes I'm interested. How do I mail you?

That's a round of negotiations. I cannot give a definite answer.
Most of my jobs have a fixed price anyway. Not broken down into rates.
Would you be interested in a gig that might pay you $70 usd per 1200 words? I want to refer you to a company I work with. It's not guaranteed but they'll at least pay for your test articles.

If you are, please let me know so we can arrange to talk by email (I can't do PMs as I don't use the email I registered with anymore).

And please, even if you aren't interested kindly let me know so I can remove some of the details here.

Cheers.

I'm not a content writer.
I'm a technical (content) writer. There's a difference.
If you're talking about the latter, well, just like I stated earlier in this thread, start writing about anything you're learning or you've learnt while coding or designer, as the case may be.

When you've got a couple of solid articles, start applying for technical writing jobs (short term ones).

Later today, I would compile a list of sites one could apply to for jobs. I hope I don't forget.
Unless you're writing technical documentation only, a technical content writer is just a specialized content writer.

How much do you charger per word anyway?
Crime › Re: Armed Female Bystander Kills Man Firing At Party In West Virginia by SmartyPants(m): 11:26am On May 30, 2022
dettolgel:
Read between lines, the guys position is that NRA will capitalised on the fact that the shooter was neutralized by someone with a gun, hence, gun ownership is not bad but the people using it. In which case NRA will likely call for more background check rather a call for complete ban as being championed by anti gun group.
That makes even less sense because this is the first time in a long while that the shooter has been neutralized by an armed bystander.

Statistically, we'd call this the exception that proves the rule.

What sort of absurd strategy would it be to sponsor a 100 mass shootings in order to make a point over the one time where private gun ownership wins?

Did you read his post and mine before responding??

Timoleon:
You really do not get the drift of arguments around gun control especially in the USA. The message in this article is simply that “because citizens are able to carry a concealed weapon, they are able to defend themselves. Reason why the woman was able to ‘save the day’

Brings a different question to mind though, how many of these supposedly ‘independently executed mass shootings’ are independently executed? Could the NRA be sponsoring mass shootings to push its agenda?
How would mass shootings, which always trigger public outrage against the proliferation of firearms help the NRA agenda in anyway?

Secondly what do you mean by sponsor? Does a lone gunman require sponsorship?

Matt 5:30
Matt 5:30 (you mean 31), says to divorce your wife is to overwhelm her with cruelty??

For your benefit:

31It has also been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’k 32But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, brings adultery upon her.l And he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Where is the overwhelming her with cruelty?

Acehart:
“Here is another thing you do. You cover the Lord’s altar with tears, weeping and groaning because he pays no attention to your offerings and doesn’t accept them with pleasure. You cry out, “Why doesn’t the Lord accept my worship?” I’ll tell you why!

Because the Lord witnessed the vows you and your wife made when you were young. But you have been unfaithful to her, though she remained your faithful partner, the wife of your marriage vows. Didn’t the Lord make you one with your wife? In body and spirit you are his. And what does he want? Godly children from your union.

So guard your heart; remain loyal to the wife of your youth. “For I hate divorce!” says the Lord, the God of Israel. “To divorce your wife is to overwhelm her with cruelty, ” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. “So guard your heart; do not be unfaithful to your wife.””
‭
“To divorce your wife is to overwhelm her with cruelty, ”

Where in the Bible is this?

People will just sit behind their laptops or phones and incite/ instigate something that can damage relationship forever without thinking about the consequences their actions could cause.. undecided
What consequences?

It's either the baby is his or it's not his. He can do a simple test.

If it is his, the matter is resolved, and no issues. It is not his, he is saved a life of punishment.

i should think the commenters are doing both parties a favour if they are wrong as the matter will be laid to rest. And certainly doing the man and his child a favor if they are right, by saving them the heartache of finding out later once emotional bonds have formed.

Malory:
Do you know the exact reason why he left PDP? Did he take an oath that come rain come sunshine that he will never leave PDP even if they treat him bad?
It's about timing. Leaving at this particular moment shows that he is not confident of winning the primaries, and thus, if the party cannot give him the ticket he is no longer with the party.

Whatever else you might argue, Wike's argument here is that he has always been loyal to the party, and in the context of the party, Obi has no integrity. You can't argue with that.

Lol, what sort of rubbish did you just type? Man of your word? How many of them are men of their words compared to Obi??

Obi was asked what he was going to do about the gang up, he said the most they can do to him is push him to leave the party, and that's exactly what he did, a man of his words, not your double mouthed politicians, bunch of blood sucking liars
You guys are funny. It was Wike who said he lacks character, and clearly, Wike is a man of his word. I don't know about others. And why is it only "man of his word" that you saw there? The man is not dependable.

And who are "my politicians"? Oga go and rest.

Is Peter Obi not a man of his words? Post evidence that he isn't if you want to reply me
You know some things are implicit. As a PDP member all this while, he must have promised his loyalty and claimed to act in the interest of the party. That is how they all do.

What is this man rambling about?
It takes character and integrity to abandon a failed, rotting association of self-serving pretending old men who care nothing about the welfare of their fellowman nor country.
But he only left on the eve of primaries. What was he doing there along along if he is not a bird of the same feather with the self-serving old men as you called them?

PDP is dead and buried. Imagine this ill mannered man that his parents failed to train well saying Peter Obi doesn't have character and integrity? Now I believe what Amaechi said that Wike is mad man
Character and integrity as Wike has used them are not about being polite. They are about being dependable, a man of your word, trustworthy, and able to withstand adversity.

Sorry, but Wike seems to have a point here.

Stupid question borne of inferiority complex

How do you want Africans to have respect for Europeans with many of the Animalistic things THEY DO.
Why do we need European respect? That is coming from a place of inferiority?

We only need our own respect

Why must Europeans validate your existence
Hey, old fool!

Your comment would have been reasonable if:

1. Africans like your foolish self aren't running to the West to go and live? you don't need their validation but you need their society?

2. African nations have stopped swallowing aid and debt from western and now, eastern nations, who turn around to dictate how we should live

3. If there wasn't a global gig economy where black Africans are paid the lowest and Nigerians are crying that their nationality deprives them of work

4. If blacks truly don't care about racism.

Go find someone else to banter nonsense with.

Start earning it and you will know.

As your income increases, your taste increases. Those that know, know.
That doesnt mean the income is poor. Means the taste is exorbitant.

But no, 500k is not rich. It's just very comfortable.

You people should stop quoting Abacha. He had no field achievements. If you want to hear from generals who actually fought and made a name for themselves on the field, ask Obasanjo, ask Gowon, then you can manage and ask Buhari.

Even as president, Abacha was known to be shy and did not talk much at cabinet meetings. His own idea of security was to kill people with hit squads.
