If you go with traditional publishing, your agent can help you get going.
If you self publish, it can be trickier, but the major outlets are fine with a pen name for public use and inky using your real info for the back end. Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc, they all are easy to deal with in that regard.
But if you're trying to do all of your own distribution and payment, you'd likely want to talk to a good cpa or attorney about how to set things up so you don't fuck up taxes and whatnot, while still being publicly unnamed under your real ID.
Fwiw, unless you're also pretty good at marketing, monetizing isn't easy. It's one thing to have your stuff out there, and another entirely to have people know it exists, and then spend money on it.
Age jokes from an old fart aside, it's about your willingness to go looking.
It does mean you'll end up using some otherwise shitty services unless you are active in a local music related scene (like clubbing). But YouTube, Pandora, spotify, and most of the other music streaming services have some degree of recommendations. They aren't all that great usually, but in the absence of being immersed with real life music explorers, it's the best option.
You can check out the Billboard top 200 and go the route of hoping your preferred music genres chart in the first place, but also being fairly reliable that other fans have vetted tracks for it to get there.
And radio still exists. You can pick a station that's genre specific or a top 40 station and find stuff that's already a little popular that way. It isn't as reliable as it used to be, but you can find newer raising acts that way.
There's forums. I haunt the typical lemmy based music C/s, plus the ones for my favorite genres, which keeps me fairly up to date on new releases as well as some new acts.
And, always participate in your local scene when possible. It's harder with hip-hop since finding local acts outside of cities is damn near impossible, but if you're into other stuff too, it can be a great way to catch acts before they get going, if your local scene is active enough. I'm fairly lucky in that bluegrass is one of the genres I'm into, and I'm not too far away from one of the better known cities for country and bluegrass music. So it's easy to find new bands and solo acts performing at a bar or local festival that end up getting popular eventually. That's an example of what i mean, making use of what's already there locally.
Man, the closest I ever give to my location is in the south, in the Appalachians. Nobody needs to know more than that online, and fuck anyone that doesn't like it lol.
Every state here has dumb shit going on all the time. Political stupidity, economic stupidity, environmental stupidity, you name it, there's something stupid going on in any given subject matter in most states. You find one that's great at one thing, they'll be horrible in another. Mind you, I'm talking the people; the land itself is incapable of stupidity, what with being mostly dirt and plants.
Anyway. If you're worried about disparaging people in a given state, just do what I do (and just did). Blame the idiots in California for a given issue, but don't specify who you think the idiots are. Nobody objects to those other people that are idiots being disparaged. Why would they? Those other people are morons.
That's not even a joke. I mean, it's meant to be vaguely humorous, but it's legit.
Are you asking how they're different, as in what makes the different hairs come out the way they do?
Or, is it wondering what the point in the difference is?
The first one is pretty easy. Follicles. The follicles determine how hair is shaped, how it feels, and how thick it is. The way they chain the materials together determines how straight/curly it is, how coarse/smooth it is, the diameter, and how long it grows before falling out and getting replaced. You can look at cosmetology faqs for the details. There's some debate on some of the details, but that's the gist of it.
As for why there's a difference in anything but length, that's harder. Evolution is the broad answer. At some point, the genes that made our hair the ways it can be were advantageous enough to end up fairly universal for all humans.
There are no certain answers, and I don't think it's possible to have many when it comes to that side of things. But, the two big ideas I've read about or heard about are friction vs scent and display vs temperature.
When it comes to pubes, there are people that have the hypothesis that they're pheromonal concentration and dispersion assistance. There's also the idea that they prevent friction leading to skin injury over time, and/or during sex.
Between those two, I kinda doubt the first. Humans just don't have much in the way of pheromones, and we suck at detecting them. Seems pretty strange to need the coarse and curly hair down there when the associated senses aren't there. The second makes sense on the surface for sure; just shave your junk and put on some stiff pants and you can tell the difference with and without pubes in five minutes. And there is a degree of increased skin irritation without hair, but I don't see that as being as big a factor. I personally suspect air flow has a factor in there, but I have nothing to back that up with other than genitals being very temperature responsive and humidity needing. But I admit it could be both or neither, I sure don't have the expertise to say (and there aren't many people that do)
Head hair, you get the usual debate on it growing the way it does for environmental protection against heat and cold, usually versus the possibility of it being for display. I say it's both because it's pretty unusual to find any critters with a major trait like that not having multiple functions.
Anyway, years ago, I asked the same question and went digging. I didn't give enough of a fuck to write things down, but that's the basics I picked up.
Being real, it depends on what people think marriage is.
There's multiple concepts out there, which may or may not conflict with each other.
What really matters is the people involved agreeing on which concepts they will be engaging in. That's the truth no matter if it's arranged or not.
Now, when arranged = forced, that's some fucked up shit. But the two aren't inherently the same thing.
When it comes right down to it, "marriage" is just a word for a formalized union between people that is recognized by the community/state. How the people involved get there is kinda meaningless. A carefully arranged marriage in a culture where marriage is done for practical reasons is no worse of a concept than two random drunks in vegas getting hitched just because. It's not even a worse concept than two people that love each other choosing to formalize their bond (and it doesn't even have to be romantic love, good friends can sometimes a marriage make).
I'm not saying the culture in Afghanistan is good or bad. I do have my doubts that the marriages arranged are done so in a healthy and equitable manner, but that's a separate issue from assuming that arranged marriages are somehow a relic of the past and that it should die out. They still exist because people want them to.
That defeats the entire purpose of fanfic, and would make the story as it is less interesting tbh. It's the reimagining that makes MOR as interesting as it is.
An old church going back to the early 1800s, though that's misleading.
The old part of the church is still there, but it's been updated and expanded over the years so that the foundation under one part is all that's original now.
Eh, might have steaks more than once a year or so. Still wouldn't be a regular thing.
Would likely increase the usage of aged balsamic to more than just a very dribble more and then.
Would definitely cook with better bourbons when I use it. Not that it really makes a huge difference in most cases, but I usually have a little bit while cooking when I do, so it would be nice lol.
