Every time I read that poster, I hear THIS in my head.

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

There's nothing I won't say that needs to be said.

I can't believe that video has 60 million views and I've never seen it before. Also: What does it mean??

Non-sequitur.  The answer has nothing to do with the question and the embarrassment of the reporter is palpable.

Was there a question in there?  No?

OK, moving on without replying...

Thanks. Now I guess I really can't post one.

To summarize:

1) You don't have a good academic job and you're not competitive for the job you want.

2) You haven't been keeping up with basic technical skills that are now common in good middle schools.

3) You don't really want a non-academic job because you've drunk far too much Kool-Aid.

Basically, you're screwed because you're unwilling to live in reality.

Let us know when you decide you'd like to make a go of being a responsible adult who accepts reality.

I just ate an apple.  I expect the doctor to get the message and stay away for the rest of the day.
And you will cry out on that day because of the king you have chosen for yourselves, and the Lord will not hear you on that day.

Was the apple in-network?

It didn't cost me anything, so evidently it was.

Not even a copay?

Sweet deal.
