    Couldn’t answer the first question after 20 minutes, realized he needed to pivot and fast? I’m sure many people while in waffle house say things like “I’m gonna invent a career”

    Looks at test then remembers he is a millionaire and walks out. Reddit is a cesspool of people who can’t do anything productive but post shit online. Majority of users have no real world experience but will challenge everything.
