Yep, this is not the stuff I'm good at. Correct.

#13"I'm good at communicating." Really? If I were your prospective employer, I'd be wondering just how often the f-bomb finds its way into your communications, and why you thought it was appropriate to drop twice in a job appeal. Please take this as a constructive criticism of your approach.

#14This is the wrong approach -- why not take a job as an ESL teacher (you won't find many people here hiring for that) by searching in the right channels?
I'm looking for other jobs too. I can do lots of things.
I don't care what the critics are saying. I'm a fan of this Kenneth Myers fellow.

#15I think you got balls for this posting, however I agree with ynoclo. Although the f-bomb is an attention getter it is also a turn off since you could have--at the very least--used asterisks for an equally attention grabbing title and omitted it entirely from your profile.

An employer who thought the f-bomb in a hacker news post spoke poorly of my communicative abilities would not be my ideal employer.

Your ad seems to suggest desperation -- "I need cash right now." That's not a bad thing to say, but when you're in that situation you should be playing in your wheelhouse.
If you're not desperate, you should reword your ad to emphasize the fact that you're trying to broaden your search.
There's an incoherence in the message.
