It is hard. I'm homeless, partially crippled, and down in spirits. I look for jobs as I post.
You don't understand that I don't even have enough money for "free" matches at the liquor store.

How can you have a computer and internet if you are homeless? You look for jobs as you post? WTF does that even mean - are you applying on the internet? Thats a joke. You need to hit the pavement dude - you're just making excuses for being lazy.

I am at a library.
Yes, everything is done the internet these days, don't call me lazy. I've "hit the pavement" looking for work many times, and guess what they told me?

I am calling you lazy. Applying for jobs on the internet while sitting at the library is lazy.

What do you want me to do? Go on foot and apply to places, only to be told to apply online?

Yes. Shaking the hand of the boss, making eye contact and an impression is the most important thing. If after you do that they tell you to apply online then go apply online and in the next day or two go back to the place (in person) and follow up. This is how people get jobs.
(But I dont believe for a second that entry level positions are telling you to apply online. Quickie marts and gas stations, sandwich shops and restaurants - they dont make you apply online. I applied for a slew of entry level jobs back at the begninng of the summer and none were online. I got three jobs within a week.)

You don't live in the SF Bay Area. I'm sorry, but things are just more modern here.

If more modern means you cant even get a job then have fun with that. Isnt the SF Bay area a super rich area? Why would you even be there if you are trying to get an entry level job and become independent?
Reality check: You are looking for an entry level job with no experience or degree - get the hell out of one of the richest areas in the world, you dont belong there.

Then stay there and be jobless - just dont complain that you have no opportunity. Its your choice to set unrealistic expectations that can never be meet; and that is exactly what you are doing. People move to where the jobs are all the time.

Ok, you want me to move (something that costs money) somewhere? I never complained about having no opportunities, I'm just aware that securing employment in such a competitive area is not easy, and it takes time.
People with money move so they can make more money. Me? I can just stay put, and eventually, someone will call me back.

zappaisgod would you give it a rest for fuck sake. the thing i find strange about the shroomery is the atmosphere, quite alot of people on here take shrooms to "get fucked up" instead of making use of them as entheogens. theres not the same atmosphere as on weed forums. be nice kids 
Who the fuck are you, Mr 3 posts?
No, I will not give it a rest. He is fucking up by not availing himself of every opportunity. Guess what? He isn't going to find it any easier out of a homeless shelter. If he doesn't change his attitude he's going to remain dependent on the kindness of strangers.
And I am certainly not the least bit interested in entheogenic nonsense. If you need to find wisdom or enlightenment or something in drugs it is not because they are magical. It is because you lack something personally.

How did you come to have 16,000 posts on the Shroomery forums? Get lost on your way to FreeRepublic?

There is nothing inherently enlightening about anything. Mushrooms are inanimate objects and are no more immediately magical than a brick or a pair of scissors.

"Magic" is just technology that people don't understand.
