It might partially be due to the fact that they do not yet know how well their consoles are going to sell. So if they are going to manufacture and sell some amount of a video game console, and only ten percent of the supply was sold, then the company would suffer a large loss. This is just a drastic example, really. In any case, my guess is that these lot would not want to manufacture more consoles than they can sell. In regards to Mr. Kimbo's remark, it may be that Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft do not wish to repeat the mistakes they had made before. Another way to look at it is that if say Nintendo wants to intentionally cause a shortage, then I speculate that they only wish to minimize the costs they incur by manufacturing unsold consoles. And like Mr. Kimbo also said, it does not make sense for these companies to intentionally underproduce in order to enable scalpers. Only scalpers profit off scalpers.

Since this morning, I've been frustrated trying to figure out if Euler's constant raised to the power of pi is higher than pi raised to the power of Euler's constant. I'm usually in a bad mood whenever I struggle with math problems, especially those that in my mind, I should be able to do given the level of education I have attained. Then I was in another internal struggle with myself, trying to argue the practicality of solving such problems. But I argue, then, that I do such things for fun and so I do not get rusty on everything I had learned up until now.

How are you doing today?

I made a terrible, terrible mistake this morning that confirms that something is seriously wrong with me. Yesterday, I was half-asleep -- in a sort of stupor, if you will. I was not in a good mood, having been in an internal struggle with myself for the past couple of weeks. I resented myself more than usual that day.

Anyway, in order to assuage my feelings of worthlessness, inferiority, and lack of productivity, I applied to a bunch of jobs without having read through the descriptions and what-not. I did not expect to get hired for any of them. Therefore, it was to my surprise that one of the hiring agencies called me back minutes after I had applied and sent them my resume, which in my mind, was little more than fifty or so kilobytes of useless data. I told them I was okay with all the duties and working conditions and what-not.

Then this morning, I told the hiring manager I had changed my mind once she had told me that I was up for consideration. I genuinely had not expected to get hired for the role. I was not even sure I could do it, which was why I had told the woman this morning that I could not accept the job offer. Now I just feel bad for her because she told me that the blame for the "misunderstanding", to use a very kind description for this mishap of mine, was for the most part on her. Now, I'm wondering what's wrong with me.

When I worked at Walmart for two days before quitting, I had had a most distressing experience. I do not blame the retail environment in its entirety for how I had felt then. I was already a figurative bundle of nerves that had trouble with interacting with people in general. I'm generally timid, shy, and I have terrible social anxiety that has stayed with me for almost all my life. Whenever a customer approached me to ask me about where some good is, I'd freak out internally while trying not to show my nerves in my face, whenever I told them that I was new there and that I still did not know where everything was in the store. This was most counterintuitive to Walmart's guideline that its employees must be friendly and welcoming towards its clientele whenever they came within ten feet of a given employee. This made me even more uncomfortable staying there, since I knew I was incapable of showing such hospitality. I was in a position that required me to interact with customers often, which did not make matters better. I'd often lose heart in whatever task I'd been assigned to do because of some earlier social faux pas that had caused me to start freaking out. I'd feel nervous around my co-workers, for I had always felt they would judge me for either not knowing what I am even doing or else being a slacker who cannot be bothered to accomplish simple tasks that required some semblance of concentration and calm, which I'd almost always lose whenever faced with social adversity. The fact that I usually did my best to look at the ground whenever a customer or employee approached me only drove up my anxiety; I was always worried that anybody who sought help from me then would think me rude and incompetent, and that there was something wrong with me, which they would not be mistaken in thinking. In short, I did not belong in a retail environment. Now unemployed, I'm beginning to lose faith in my ability to find work that I can actually do properly, given that I was incapable of succeeding in a workplace environment that did not have many, if any barriers to entry to get hired in.

Oh, so your intention is to mock people who claim they have anxiety in order to justify and/or excuse the terrible behavior they might exhibit whenever they are criticized or reprimanded for it.

I'm trying to look for work that I can do from home. But since I've been unemployed since last year, and I lack any notable skills to speak of, it has been incredibly difficult finding something I can do properly, let alone a company willing to hire somebody who has been out of work for so long. I've been trying to settle my mother's debts besides, which has put an exceptionally large dent in my savings. I'm worried that I am still not done. There's still a hospital bill that has yet to come in the mail, and I do not have the means to check if the bank cleared all of the payments I issued with her account. Then I have to pay eleven-thousand more American dollars on the car I bought in October. I can either pay it in monthly segments or all at once, but I still have to pay it. Anyway, I cannot help but daydream from time to time about just leaving everything behind. I feel awful and guilty whenever I fantasize about this, because now my mother needs my help more than ever. I still don't know what I am doing with my life. I feel like everything is just passing me by, nowadays. It's extremely hard for me to care about much anything nowadays, and I feel like I'm becoming more and more nihilistic everyday.

Why fire someone who only has 1 month of employment left?

Perhaps to prevent him or her from receiving retirement benefits or unemployment compensation, or something to that effect. But in this scenario, I am not entirely sure that that is the case.

I'm trying to apply for Social Security Retirement benefits for my mother, who has taken ill. Unfortunately, I am unable to access her application. The notification I receive whenever I try to access the application shows that the information I entered does not match the information the American government has in its database. I am a bit worried that those lot will file an investigation against me because I might have either provided erroneous information or otherwise applied for her, without having specified that I was applying on behalf of her.

Perhaps the Amazon site already had your payment information on-hand, glitched up due to the massive in-flow of holiday shoppers that were probably using the site at the moment, and just proceeded to use that information to pay the vendor without asking for your permission.

It's likely she'll need help re-adjusting to normal once she returns home. Meanwhile, I'm feeling lost as to what I want to do right now. I've not really been being productive in the past week or so. If we count personal projects as being unproductive, then I fear I've not been doing anything productive in the past few months. I worry about what employers will think of me when they look at my work history. It has been almost eleven months since quitting my main job. I had been tutoring for a few months this year, but quit because it was not right for me. But now that my mother has taken ill, I'm not certain that I will be in a position to take up a job and take care of her at the same time. Nowadays, I don't have a lot of energy to do much. Now, I don't know what to do until she comes back.

Jabba's abode. Then he proceeds to choke the crime lord's guards using the Force. My question is: How did he learn how to do that? His father sure could not have taught him the technique. I mean, unless the former used it during their duel in the previous movie, and the latter learned it just by watching him like some sort of Japanese cartoon. And it is not likely that Yoda, a master of the Light side of the Force, could have (or would have) taught him such a technique. So where and when did Luke learn how to Force-choke people? Additionally, how did Anakin learn how to choke people telekinetically? He already knew how to do that before he pledged his loyalty to Palpatine.

I must have these answers.
