Can we stop celebrating this guy and move on? Times have changed, the wold has changed, but the aloof reality distortion continues. I will not rattle off my list of issuex but suffice to say he is not worthy of emulation in a mjority of his actions. I will boldly state: Nobody actually wants to work with the next Jobs, they just want to say they did.

I just read "I decided my ideas were so good I had no motivation to collaborate on a compromise with coworkers", so OP seems correct.

Homework is crap. Let learning stay at school. Families are busy, have things to do. The complaints are obvious.

So 1 percent minorities don't matter to you? Good to know.

A publication, whose right to exist is literally and authoritively the 1st amendment, is arguing against it. Wtf NYT, wtf.

Disposable furniture is not worth the cost. Buying a 300 dollar chiar seems dumb until you throw out 7 50 dollar chairs in the meantime. Not to mention the environmental impact of this antique mindset.

Per tfa they were custom doors and cost more than most desks.

Ikea is crap. If you want a lasting desk, hit up a used office furnishing place in your town. For 50 bucks you can have a classic or modern desk with delivery to boot.

I am a convicted felon, so are mny people. That is not a defacto judgement of character. While musk may be slimey, cavorting with felons is as fake news as it gets.

But they do, and know to use paralell construction to evade the law in bad faith.

But its always worse than what it emulates. If you want to promote veggies, maybe start with a good dish? I understand familiarity is a thing, but so is taste.

I like roads, but not ones with roadblocks every mile. Lets be sensible.

Source? It seems accurate, but someone is silently downvoating without clarifying, I feel in bad faith.

Doubly so, as they are heavier, and faster accelerating than ICE cars universally by class.
