I hear what you're saying, but I am and always will be at the bottom. 

I kinda figure I have nothing to lose, and who can fault a guy for sharing information?

Damn straight you will always be at the bottom with that attitude.

Until you stop being beaten in your own mind, I can't give you much advice.

I admit, it sounds defeatist.  I'm trying to operate based on "keep doing what you're doing and you'll keep getting what you're getting"

I heard a story about the French railroads, where they weren't allowed to go on strike. What they did instead was to enforce literally every rule from the government regulations, which made everything grind to a halt.

Might be urban legend, but there you go.

Everyone will find fault with someone who offers problems without solutions. Especially when the problems are generic.

Use the insights to get yourself into a positive position. Then offer direct solutions without mentioning what methods or insights you're using.

I like the Luna one. She is a good one.

I kind of wish I still had a job, but hey, I'm ignorant and untrained, willing to learn, sure, but who has the patience? I'm autistic, bipolar, and have other mental messes cohabitating this meat-sack I call a brain (including parts of my brain that are just jelly from trauma). About the only thing of note I have are bandit instincts and temperment, and those do not translate so well, but apparently I'm excellent at customer service, and infantry work... unsure what to do.

EDIT: Also I'm ex-Infantry, not like I'm proud of it, I got kicked out for being mentally slow. It sucked ass and injured my pride a good deal, not like I deserved to have pride, but I wanted to have some and it just wasn't in the cards.
