It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

"I wanted my kids to know me," Jobs told Isaacson. "I wasn't always there for them, and I wanted them to know why and to understand what I did."

Bro chose his legacy over his kids and spent his last days cloying for validation of that decision rip-bozo

Acting like he's some fuckin' migrant worker forced to leave his family to get them what they need to survive smh

Once took an entrepreneurship course in college (dropped it after a couple of weeks) and the gist of it was thinking of “ideas”

Is a CEO just a guy who came up with a good idea and had the resources to get other people involved ~~and~~ to take all the credit

CEOs are just idea guys, and as any game developer knows, idea guys are worthless.

Pretty much, being able to "talk well" and having connections are the two main requirements for being in that job area and is why so many CEOs try to mystify the whole process when it's really just being a wealthier conman.

A CEO is an 'ideas guy' (who are dime a dozen and generally worthless) who has the pedigree and connections to make enough attempts to survive the entrepreneurial lottery and then assign that survivorship to their 'genius' when it could be (and generally is) any number of outside factors.

You don't even need to be that; you can buy a company started by people who had good ideas, declare yourself the founder and forbid the actual founders from referring to themselves as such.
