I do recognize that it is unfair to compare my life to billionaires ; but that is the kind of humiliation imposed against me through my parents who managed to secure employment & adulthood as parents when they gave birth to me while still attending high school. I am 40 years old ; but I have no children & I have even fewer job opportunities . My most recent interview was with a Panda_Express restaurant . I hate food but I seem to be block-listed out of security & driving jobs . This is what I told my free-loading room-mate before I moved out of state : " You have been rewarded for bad behavior for so long through these military contracts that you forgot how to function like a honest human being " . I had no idea that this out-of-touch statement of impatience would some day apply to me too .

I accidentally vibe coded a A.I. app : Poorly .

#GREENDAY was the highlight to this #superbowl . The Patriots need a dietary plan . They appear to be malnourished compared to the other team .

Imagine driving to a fast food restaurant & ordering absolutely NO THING during a peak rush hour .

As a Atheist ; I beg you to stop making Jesus seem so cool . I can not compete with this . #SMBC

I irrationally hated this ARBYs place & their fermented NAZI cabbage they called " Sauerkraut ". There was a neighboring store in California called " Der Wienerschnitzel " where you could get a loaded kosher hot dog for the same price . Now, you can only see these prices at Costco. I do not want to know what war crimes they did to the desert oasis people to keep these prices so low

SPAM THIS HYPNOTIC SONG FROM Donald Kneath Bushell, Jr Of DrDonMusic.com UNTIL " BEAUTIFUL VIBES " CHANGE THE WORLD .

I know how you feel. I felt so demoralized after losing my job that I remained out of work for a solid year. Be sure to commit to a routine of going outside every morning & showering every day . It is very easy to bed rot from despair . Cut down all of your expenses & make the job search from outside of your home a priority . There should be a library or trade school nearby you could make good use of . Do not be ashamed of seeking food assistance or other forms of government assistance through a lawyer . It is not your fault . Employers are unreasonable & there are medical limits to what they were asking you to do .
