SME (pronounced smee)

My company is flooded with SMEs who aren’t even good, let alone experts at anything

Sure, but 80% of people stopped reading after that first word because of “socialism”

Who is Steve Jobs?

Same. Actual drug addiction (cannabis) has been far cheaper than WoW was

1. Don’t be a dick
2. Don’t be a pussy
3. Don’t be an asshole
