#2Props for asking for help.

#3Is there context here I'm missing? The screen shot with the legal fee leads me to believe so, but I can't sort it.

#4A cautionary tale about not having the requisite "minimum viable" social skills. A person with no STEM skills but above average social skills will almost always have a job (sales, management, con man) the reverse is a more difficult proposition.

#5So you claim to be a decent programmer, but haven't been working a traditional job in years because why? You claim to be smart but don't know the value of maintaining a basic financial safety net. It won't be hard to bail you out, but this should not be happening in the first place. Let it be a lesson to others. Or is this just a fake?

#6I simply can't resist it, but alas, see what will happen to you if you code in emacs!
On the serious note though, he did admit he enjoys procrastinating. Why would I help someone who never had and still does not have any motivation?

#7Almost sent the OP money through PayPal, but I saw this at the bottom of the post:
> i won't actually be able to draw money from paypal, due to bank/IRS problem.
Which is confusing because in a few lines above, this is written:
> if you can help, paypal to xah@xahlee.org
Can someone who knows the OP provide more context to all of this?

The problem lies here: "well, i can only say i procrastinate"

He mentions the IRS pulling money from his account, I think that's what the legal fee stuff in the bank account screenshot is about.
