When corrupt old men in Europe who all know each other from P2 meetings agree that you have to be assassinated, then you know you've succeeded. That or if you can make 10,000 people in Silicon Valley slam their heads into a wall and shout, "F^#% ME!!! WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT?!?!?!?"

Or if you can make 10,000 people in Silicon Valley call their lawyers and say "BUT I DID THINK OF THAT..."

Ya I guess if you can monetize an idea 10,000 entrepreneurs had before you than you can call it a success as well. The smug sense of satisfaction will keep you warm for decades to come.

My question for you... do you post here sober or high? And if the answer is high, maybe you should buy some kratom from me. It's much better than what you're smoking, I promise.

I'm voting up all of both of your comments because they made me laugh and I spit a bit of the Hershey bar I was eating on my keyboard.

I'm voting up all of your comments from now on whenever I come across you because your comment made me laugh and I spit Dr. Pepper out of my nose and now my brain is tingling and I see bright little bubbles popping up all over my field of vision as I sit in the dark writing this.
