opportunity can't find the doorbell
Today I learned about a prime new source for things to learn: press releases. What happened is that I found an article that said bloggers can get paid to write a 'sponsored by' post if they sign up with something like PayPerPost, and I had to look into it because I hate my current gas stove only partly because I'm a little sensitive to gas, and replacing it with a 20 year-old coil-burner stove would be a step up, but I'm holding out for one of those flat-topped electric deals.
So, if I had signed up with PayPerPost and found an 'opportunity' (or whatever) for PayPerPost, I could have gotten paid for this, except there's this review process where the advertiser decides whether or not they like your post, by which point the post would have to start with "Sometime last week I learned," and besides breaking a time-honored tradition, I would have to kill myself.
SponsoredReviews was also mentioned, and they don't review your post first. They can decide not to pay you for it, but if it's legitimate constructive criticism, you're good to go. I think I would really enjoy constructively criticizing the heck out of Glade where I knew they'd see it. However, I'd probably embarrass myself fawning all over the people who make Tu-Tuff, and it would be in the archives forever, and I'd probably still have to kill myself.
I wasn't going to even look at LoudLaunch, but in the spirit of being thorough, I learned that they'll let you write about press releases, and sometimes for free!! Since I appear to have no entrepreneurial spirit whatsoever and the freebees are for good causes, I checked out a press release for a $25 million prize for the first zero carbon-emission airline (not airplane) cooked up before 2021. I would love to see a zero-carbon airline, but also contained in the press release was the quote of the day from Robinson Joyce, the president of LegalLock, 'an anonymous group of earth-wealthy in Europe and the U.S.' which is sponsoring the prize:
They're never going to hire me now.

"We're not drowning in liquid CO2 yet, but that's the potential ultimate result of global warming."Right after you tell me you didn't wonder what, exactly, they meant by 'earth-wealthy,' you may tell me that you didn't just now envision a bunch of people swimming in liquid CO2.
They're never going to hire me now.
