If I had not moved several kilometers away from my favourite bar, I swear some of the baristas would be communicating with me in grunts by now.
There was a period where me stepping in was followed by “The usual?” and a couple of times when they saw me out smoking just as the bar opened, so they just poured it without even asking me, as there was little point.
Life is too short to drive a Hyundai and eat the same meal every day though. Unless the Hyundai is one of their more performant EV models, in which case it can at least be fun.
There’s basically one self-made billionaire I’m aware of. Wealth turned him into a right-wing asshole unfortunately, but the original creator of Minecraft, Notch, is the closest thing to a self-made billionaire I can think of. He originally built Minecraft on his own and it was already doing insanely well when other people got involved. He did not have a rich background.
Now where we can argue about the self-made part: 1) None of what he did would’ve been possible without prior work by others (same goes for ANYTHING to do with computers nowadays), 2) There’s no guarantee he could’ve sold the game for over 2 billion dollars without help from others.
