They are “journalism vegans”. They are choosing to abstain from actual journalism for clickbaiting, herd mentality, and personal lack of skill reasons.

I used to get take-out at this place where for a reasonable price you’d get: strips of breaded chicken, rice, and a container of curry sauce. The chicken and rice tasted great by itself, and the curry sauce went well with ANYTHING. I mean, week-old leftovers, vegetables about to expire, bread about to go stale, you name it. I tried other curry sauces and it didn’t work. Just this magic curry sauce that went with anything you had left in the fridge.

a couple thoughts:

• I usually have a section called “Relevant Work” and another called “Other” where I say “Additional experience with [list my non-relevant jobs]”
• if you are taking time off from working, try to do something educational at the same time. classwork at a local university / community college is great, or do online classes or even a bunch of tutorials and/or an open-source/volunteer project. then you can say: “I always wanted to learn about (that topic) so I took some time off to really study it.” it’s most beneificial if it’s work-related, but it doesn’t have to be.
• present yourself in the best light, but do not outright lie on your resume because that might come back to bite you.

The Australian Academy of Science is leading the country’s efforts to proactively recruit top US-based scientists

all this focus on “top” scientists… wish there was somewhere for us mediocre scientists to go…

Yeah… reminds me of a very valuable lesson I learned during my college years.

Most people hate school. Even the “smart kids”, what they really like is learning or knowledge, not school.

Oh, it’s a Japanese cartoon. They use metric hours instead of Imperial hours. So you’ll just have to keep waiting.

Check out youth hostels / Hostelling International. Basically they’re inexpensive dorm-like hotels mostly targetted at younger backpackers. The ones in LA and Boston are in great locations. About 12% of Americans are of German descent (cite) so ask around, you or a family friend probably have a distant relative who immigrated here at some point.

So: get a cheap plane ticket. Fly into a city with a youth hostel. Wander around for a while. Catch a Greyhound Bus to visit your distant relative in Iowa. Hang out with them for a while. Catch another Greyhound to another city with a youth hostel. Fly back. You will meet a lot of people in the hostels. You’ll meet a lot of people on the Greyhound. Look up stuff ahead of time, not just tourist stuff but concerts or clubs or sports events wherever you go to. Sure it costs money but it’s a hell of a lot more fun than a resort or a cruise or whatever. Wait, isn’t “wanderjahr” a German word? Anyway after you spend a month or two here you’ll know whether you still like us or not.

A lot of people are saying ADHD, but I think in some cases it could also be anxiety or depression.
