I hate people asking what I do for a living, especially women, because it's code for "If you're rich, I'll pretend to like you." To reveal the real character of a person, there are 3 ways: go to war with them, let them believe they have an untouchable advantage, or alcohol.

5 years after my mom had a stroke, he moved out and served her papers while she was visiting her dying mother. Shortly after and during the pandemic, his mother was dying and he stole roughly $1m USD from his family. I blame myself for not being more suspicious of him and allowing my mom to rush into retirement and cohabitation out of the area.

I'm also annoyed by the assumption that I must work for someone other than myself: it's orthodoxy of the meek who play it safe while handing piles of treasure over to others.

Outside of work, who really wants to be reminded of or talk about it? It's one of the problems of attempting to socialize with coworkers: they can't leave the office at the office. When I'm not working, I don't want homework.

PS: Never get involved with investors, cofounders, or spouses you don't completely trust and know for years. It's marriage. Keep liabilities away at arm's reach at least.
