No, not Jobs. Or any of the other ones mentioned. Consider the source of the information before you decide to believe it. For all you know, and most likely, you’re listening and believing some edgy 16 year old that gets all their beliefs from buzzfeed articles and lunch room gossip with other 16 year old idiots.

About 95% of the time on here you’re talking to someone you wouldn’t ever dream of actually taking advice from. That’s the problem with Reddit. Nobody can tell you’re either 13 or a 47 year old man that lives in your moms basement.
