How to Pay Bills with a “Fake” Online Job

The look at the struggles of online freelancers in my country, dealing with skepticism, misunderstanding, and the challenges of working in the digital age

Hello, dear readers and loyal followers!

Has it ever happened to you that you told someone — perhaps a friend or your parents — that you work online as a freelancer or in some other online capacity, only to get the response that it’s not a “real job”?

Has anyone ever told you that every online job is a “fake job” and that the internet is full of scammers just waiting to prey on people like you?

Unfortunately, this has happened to me multiple times — most often when I visit my parents, where I should expect the most support and trust. But instead, they believe that no online job is real.

Apparently, if I work online, it’s not considered a job because I’m “just surfing the internet and Googling stuff.” And no one in their right mind would pay you to do that!

My parents say, “You need to take real tools in your hands and get your hands dirty to earn money, not just type nonsense on the internet.” And mind you, they’re intellectuals, not uneducated or ignorant people.

“Who would pay you to write ‘crap’ on the internet? The whole internet is full of scammers, and it’s all one big scam,” they say.

Now, I must admit, when I see the number of scammers lurking on Medium and the internet in general, I sometimes think they’re not too far from the truth.

Unfortunately, my parents aren’t the only ones who think this way. When I meet up with acquaintances, I often encounter the same lack of understanding about online work and freelancing in general.

Even when I provide all the proof and thoroughly explain what it means to be a freelancer and how you can make money this way — showing them amounts deposited into my PayPal account — I still see the doubt in their eyes, as if they’re skeptical that everything I say is true.

The most common questions I hear are:
“But do you have a ‘real’ job apart from that?”
or,
“Surely your wife does some real work while you have fun on the internet?”

Excuse me?!

I explain that with my online work, I manage to cover a good portion of our household expenses, almost the entire food budget, yet they still nod with doubt in their eyes as if they’re not fully convinced.

It’s unbelievable!

Are people really so uninformed, close-minded, and distrusting of anything new and unknown?

Mind you, I’m writing this post after the whole COVID panic, isolation, and work-from-home revolution that COVID brought us. Now imagine what it was like before that.

“We were in the dark ages when it came to online work in my country!”

Sometimes, I think it might be better if I just made something up, like: “Oh, I just got promoted to a mid-level manager at an oil-drilling company in the Pacific Ocean,” and shut them up that way. But no, I refuse to lie.

I’m proud that my so-called “fake online job” contributes to the household budget and improves our family’s financial situation.

My “fake online job” recently paid for repairs on the fence around our house, the car registration, our groceries, pet food, and even a vacation.

But what I’m about to tell you is even more baffling, so keep reading.

Heaven forbid I ever mention to my parents that I was paid in cryptocurrency for some of the work I’ve done online!


 https://cryptonftworlds.blogspot.com/2024/02/crypto-world-and-sex-industry.html

The questions start pouring in, Gestapo-style:
“How does crypto work? What is it? Can you exchange it for ‘real’ money? How much is it worth? Can you put it in a bank? Are you sure you weren’t scammed, son? Have you tried buying something with it? Did it work?”

In the end, they declare that it’s all just fake internet money that’s worthless and that I, their poor inexperienced son, was scammed by internet fraudsters, and I’ll never see a paycheck for my hard work!

https://cryptonftworlds.blogspot.com/2024/08/writers-beware-of-scammers-on-medium.html

Oh well, such is the life of a freelancer in Croatia. I don’t think things will change anytime soon, as people here are skeptical, backward, and behind the times. Only a small group of us innovators is trying to bring this country into the 21st century and the digital revolution.

We must keep fighting and educating all those who drag us back. Even though there are few of us, we do exist, and I’m confident that our efforts will eventually pay off.

All innovators throughout history were misunderstood, mocked, and even persecuted at first. But in the end, it was shown that they were right. I will continue to strive toward that same goal.

I’ll keep doing my “fake online job” and getting paid in “fake internet money,” but I won’t give up!

And now, goodbye — I’m off to write another “fake article” for a “made-up magazine” on the internet. Who knows, maybe if I’m lucky, I’ll get paid in “imaginary internet money” again!

Guns and Ammo: A European Perspective

A European perspective on guns and the right to bear arms, examining the differences in historical context and gun laws between the U.S. and Europe

Introduction

Hello, dear readers and loyal followers.

Today, we’re going to discuss a very popular, yet equally dangerous, topic — guns and the right to bear arms.

As we all know, the United States has one of the most liberal laws when it comes to gun ownership, rooted in the world-famous Second Amendment:

“A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

This is the most frequently quoted sentence by advocates of the right to bear arms. You’re bound to hear it from any American citizen who owns a gun and supports this right.

Today, I won’t dwell too much on whether this amendment is good, bad, outdated, or not. Although many believe it is outdated, I will instead attempt to express the perspective of a European — me — who isn’t accustomed to seeing guns everywhere.

Here, I should mention that I am from Croatia, Europe, and the concept of witnessing weapons or daily gunfire isn’t entirely foreign to me. As a teenager, I spent four years in the war that raged across the Balkans, specifically in my homeland, from 1991 to 1995.

But I don’t want to discuss war times when seeing weapons everywhere was expected. Instead, I want to focus on peaceful times, when such occurrences are far from normal for us.

Lots and lots of guns and arms is in the picture                         This image was created using an AI image creation program

I often come across videos or articles on the internet where people advocate for the right to bear arms. One particular argument caught my attention. It suggests that many who carry guns do so because of America’s violent past.

They frequently mention the time of westward expansion and the daily conflicts with Native Americans, followed by the fight for independence from the British, and eventually the Civil War, during which guns were essential for self-defense.

Another argument often made is that Europe didn’t experience such a violent history or have a need for firearms for self-defense. However, this argument doesn’t hold water, as those who make this claim clearly do not understand the violent history of the European continent.

Europe has experienced very few periods of complete peace, starting from Ancient Greece and Rome, which once occupied the entire known civilized world, to the Dark Ages, where conflicts between states were almost daily occurrences, and continuing into the modern era with the First and Second World Wars.

The wars against the Ottoman Empire in my own country lasted around 500 years and were among the bloodiest conflicts in the Balkans and Europe. At that time, everyone carried some form of weapon for self-defense.



https://cryptonftworlds.blogspot.com/2024/09/trump-once-again-in-crosshairs-of.html

As you can see, Europe arguably has one of the most violent and war-torn histories, full of conflicts, making it quite normal until recently for people to carry swords, daggers, or pistols for protection. Not to mention that European roads were full of bandits, robbers, and criminals for thousands of years, preying on travelers.

Despite this violent past, unlike the U.S., Europe eventually decided to adopt new rules on gun ownership and leave matters of protection to law enforcement.

Of course, we also have laws regulating gun ownership here, and in some cases, individuals can carry weapons if they meet certain conditions. However, this is more of an exception than the rule, and very few people apply for such permits.

From what I can see, there is ongoing debate in the U.S. about whether better personal firearm control should be introduced. It’s likely that, over time, the opinion in favor of restricting or banning the right to bear arms will prevail, but this will certainly not happen smoothly.

The U.S. is a young nation that is still building its history and has time to learn from its mistakes.

Here in Europe, it’s terrifying and unimaginable to see the shootings that occur in American schools due to overly liberal laws and easy access to guns, especially by children. Here, children don’t have access to weapons unless they obtain them illegally.

I believe that weapons are best left in the hands of law enforcement and the military and that individual citizens shouldn’t need them. However, the U.S. should make its own decision about this issue. That decision must be made democratically, not imposed by anyone, as is the norm in civilized, democratic states.

That’s my take on this issue. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below.

Trump Once Again in the Crosshairs of Assassins

Another assassination attempt on Donald Trump sparks more chaos. Dive into the latest events surrounding this controversial figure

Introduction

Hello, my dear readers and loyal followers!

So, today, as I was casually working on my computer and half-listening to the news, I heard Trump’s name pop up again. And honestly, I couldn’t believe my ears or my eyes.

At first, I thought it must have been some old archive footage or a rerun of previous news, but nope — it was a fresh, breaking story. Another attempt on Donald Trump’s life!

I mean, what’s going on in America, folks? Have people over there truly lost their marbles, like rabid dogs in the race for the next presidency?

Has it really come to the point where someone takes up arms and puts their life and the lives of others in danger, all in the name of taking out Trump again?

What must have snapped in the head of 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, the suspect now in custody, to think, “Yeah, let’s do this!”?

But let’s dive into the facts and see what actually went down.

The Assassination Attempt

The first and most important news: Trump is alive and unharmed!

While Trump was out on the golf course this past Sunday in Florida, a gunman was reportedly spotted hiding in the bushes some 300–500 meters away.

The Secret Service quickly opened fire, but the shooter managed to escape in a black Nissan. Luckily, a witness snapped a photo of the license plate as the man fled from the bushes. The car was later spotted on the I-95 freeway, about 50 miles from the scene, where it was finally stopped, and the suspect was detained.

The witness identified the man as being present at the scene of the alleged assassination attempt, though Special Agent Rafael Barros from the Secret Service Miami Field Office stated during a briefing that the agency was “not sure if the individual even managed to fire at our agents.” So, there’s still uncertainty over whether any shots were fired at all.

Law enforcement did find an AK47 with a scope, two backpacks with ceramic plates, and a GoPro camera in the bushes where the suspect was hiding, according to Palm Beach Sheriff Bradshaw.

Several officials confirmed to CBS News that the suspect’s name is Ryan Wesley Routh. He is 58 years old and has had previous run-ins with the law, according to court records. As of now, no clear motive has been established.

What Do We Know About Routh?

Routh has been openly critical of Trump on social media. On X (formerly known as Twitter), he once wrote:

“@realDonaldTrump — While you were my choice in 2016, I and the world hoped you’d be different as a president. We were sorely disappointed, and you’ve only gotten worse.”

He posted this in June 2020, adding, “I’ll be glad when you’re gone.”

In another post, he referenced the July 13th shooting, suggesting that Biden and Harris should attend the funeral of a participant killed at the rally.

Most intriguingly, Routh also had plenty to say about the war in Ukraine. In one post, he declared, “I’m ready to go fight and DIE to defeat Putin!”

He has been interviewed by several news agencies, including The New York Times, Semafor in 2023, and Newsweek Romania in 2022, where he talked about recruiting volunteer fighters to aid Ukraine in its fight against Russia. Whether these efforts bore any fruit is unclear, but he did say in the interview, “This is a fight between good and evil.”

Ryan Wesley Routh is seen at the time of his arrest on Sept. 15, 2024, in a photo obtained from the Martin County Sheriff’s Office in Florida.

Who Is Ryan Wesley Routh?

Routh has spent most of his life in North Carolina. He once owned a shed-building business called Camp Box Honolulu and even lived for a time in Hawaii.

He graduated from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in 1998.

His brushes with the law go back to the 1990s, according to court documents. A law enforcement source told CBS News that between 2002 and 2010, Routh was charged and convicted of several crimes in Guilford County, North Carolina.

In 2002, he was charged with possession of a weapon of mass destruction — a felony, according to North Carolina Department of Correction records. In another incident, he faced charges for a hit-and-run, resisting arrest, and other misdemeanors.

Trump’s Response

As expected, Trump took to social media to thank the U.S. Secret Service and Palm Beach Sheriff Bradshaw for the excellent work they did, along with a shout-out to his team of brave patriots who keep him safe.

Politicians and even the White House issued statements expressing relief that Trump was unharmed.

Conclusion

Thankfully, this incident ended without any injuries or fatalities — thank goodness! It could have gone sideways real fast, and we’d have seen a lot of mourning across America today.

But was this all necessary? And did Trump understand the message?

I don’t think so. He’s too self-assured, having already stated with his usual swagger that his campaign will continue. We all know what kind of campaign that is — a campaign of hatred, racism, lies, and division. A campaign by a man who insults and degrades women, sneers at the poor, and acts like the world revolves around him.

So now that you’ve read all this, ask yourself: Who really painted the target on Trump’s forehead? His opponents? Immigrants he blames for everything?

Maybe it was the Black or Hispanic communities or the LGBTQ community, that stands for love?

In the end, the truth is sad but simple: Trump drew the target on his own head with his hateful words and lies. If he keeps this up, it might just cost him his life.
