My friend Norman King has been working part-time for me to list all the homepage URLs of VC Portfolio Companies.

Earlier this evening I tried to list a certain robotics company but was unable to figure out where they were. That company did mention their "acquisition" by another robotics firm, so I looked there to, only to be turned away empty handed.

So I googled for "Foocorp Location", whereupon Wikipedia yielded the insight that they were out of business. It also said that the robotics firm that had acquired them had only bought their IP.

HOWEVER!

Neither Foocorp nor their IP-acquiring company claimed Foocorp had any open positions. I expect the continued existence of their site enables them to sell off their existing inventory.

So.
There.

Sigh. Kids These Days.

      Never been big on Christmas "rituals" (especially shit like A Christmas Story that is regularly played as part of a mass brainwashing program to make people assigned the male caste feel ashamed of being feminine--how can that film possibly hold any relevance whatsoever for 50% of the human population represented by one solitary character and told entirely from the perspective of patriarchy and the expectation that women embrace the epistemological position of silence... I'm not big on Bechdel but holy fucking shit!, and let's not even get started on It's a Wonderful Life...). Bah humbug! It's all propaganda and lies!!

      Ah, but that style of slow jazz just makes everything better.

      Now to go watch some medicinal Bob Ross.

    You really have posted some goofy shit, in the past. Now, you're REALLY talking crazy. FFS, Mud Duck, you never give in, never give up, never make an admission. Most of all, never apologize! Next, you're going to reject your White Privilege, and start singing Kumbayah with all the riffraff huddled around the 55-gallon burn barrel. (I've kind of presumed that you're a white guy - most nuts are white, aren't they?) DON'T DO IT MAN!!! THERE'S NO TURNING BACK!

    Maybe we need to do an intervention? Should I call SWAT and tell them someone needs help? That might traumatize you out of your despondency.

    Also, fuck anonymous coward.

          Colored people are Poor people who do not have money and cannot afford Rich White Therapy.

          No suprise: MDC is an old bald rich White man supported by his family (Mother Crawford pays his storage bills) and has many friends (mentioned frequently including in this very journal).

          Real poor people, real homeless people do not have family, do not have friends, and do not have money. We the poor do not act like Michael David Crawford. We the poor were not born with silver spoons up our asses.

          Those of us who do not have money and are systematically denied employment, we the poor are justifiably pissed off at your no-recovery economy which has metastasized into a perpetual economic depression where jobs do not exist.

            Awwwww, poor baby - you couldn't get a scholarship for basket weaving? No diploma in multigender studies?

            I've got my own theory, that does sort of resemble your own, though. Half of the nut cases are simply brainwashed into believing they need help. That is, they are nothing more than victims of the system. You non-white people go to prison to make rich white motherfuckers rich, and white people go to nuthouses to make rich white motherfuckers rich.

            Not to worry, though. Being brown or black does have some benefits - https://elgringothegreat.bandcamp.com/track/welfare-matters [bandcamp.com] Turn up the volume before clicking on it, for best effect.

              I stayed in school and said no to drugs, fool. No basket case weaving for me, dude. I learned to code and I got my masters degree in computer science, a marketable skill in a high demand field, bro.

              Except you rich white motherfuckers lied. There are zero jobs in your tech industry. There is zero demand for coders.

              And so I have nothing. My return on investment from a highly valued education is zero. My return on investment for a lifetime of accumulating highly valued skills is zero.

              Your techbro industry does not employ anyone. Techbros do not add value to the economy in any way. Techbros are shit.

              On the one hand you have these scumfuckers:

              "Dude! Bro! We can code a shitty app to simulate giving blowjobs to unicorns! Pubescent virgin white girls with a rich daddy will be all over our unicorn cock! Give us VeeCee money now!"

              On the other hand you have these lying turds:

              "We have a full employment economy and anyone who can code can get a job offer for a six figure tech job in a week. I get offers as soon as I set my status to Looking. Not interviews. Job offers. There are so many companies trying to pay me over six figures, I have to fight them off with a stick."

              Michael David Crawford is an opportunistic lying fuck who jumped on the bandwagon of fake jobs only because advertising fake jobs is the popular trend in the tech industry which is trying very hard not admit to being entirely fucking fraudulent.

            I don't give her money for drugs, but I _do_ see to it that she gets enough to eat and sleep, and that she has a safe place to be where she won't get sexually assaulted.

            From time to time I call 9-1-1, the ambulance hauls her to the ER and she "AMAs" - leaves Against Medical Advice.

            But she has Bipolar-Type Schizoaffective Disorder too. She's been off her meds well over a week, and has voices in her head that constantly speak her own thoughts back to her. While she intends to make an appointment for a "Med Check" or Medication Adjustment but has not done so yet. It will take a minimum of two weeks before the appointment is actually scheduled, so I figure I can get her 5153ed.

            The California Civil Code Section 5153 has the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act's criteria for a Ten-Day Psychiatric Hold As A Danger To Herself Or Others. I tried to get her 5153ed last night, unfortunately she managed to be completely rational when the EMTs evaluated her, though totally pissed off at me.

            But that's OK! We cuddled on the couch for an entire hour after that.

    There never were any jobs on Soggy Jobs. The tech industry is entirely fraudulent.

    Employers do not employ anyone. Instead they run shell companies and investment scams until they they go out of business and reorganize under new fake names. Fraudulent employers suck money out of the economy while talented skilled unemployed tech workers starve to death in poverty.

    And just like the fraudulent employers, Michael David Crawford is a liar who cannot be trusted. Expect Soggy Jobs to continue despite promises of shitcanning.

    0 job offers

    8% of fake job spam bots are set to reject every applicant
    92% of fraudulent employers do not even pretend to employ anyone

    It is that time of year again, the month when fraudulent employees do nothing at all, except secretly wish every qualified applicant would just fuck off and die already. The post skills economy of financial fraudsters has zero supply of jobs for the vast population of workers who demand jobs. Better to let the excess population starve to death.
