This was the guy who, when told he had cancer, decided to self treat himself with smelling salts or some shit like that. Then when it didn't work said, "Halp I need medicine".

He also took a healthy liver and destroyed it. Someone on the transplant list probably died because they were behind him on the list, and he should have been disqualified for being noncompliant with medical advice.

When you're a billionaire, they let you do it

-Some piece of human waste.

I can recommend the "Behind the Bastards" (podcast) episode on Steve Jobs.
What a weird... weird man.

[–] RealityCavesIn@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 years ago

I second this, great episode. He was indeed a very weird and smelly man.

I see Robert Evans, I upvote. Really folks, Jobs was such a piece of shit that he got a 4-parter of coverage on Behind the Bastards. Highly suggested. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=aEv08Zzunfc&si=xGHOjTXfizCplLDp

Thanks for the recommendation. Holy shit that guy is a weirdo

IIRC he didn't bath, he was stinking so much that when he worked at Atari he was moved to night shift because of his odor complaints.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 47 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He was adamant that he could control his nasty odor by diet instead of taking a goddamned shower.

He was as big of a piece of shit as he smelled.

[–] ours@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Smelling bad probably had turned into a power move for him.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Holy shit, I didn't even know that. That's fucking hilarious.

To soak up the inspiration, duh.

[–] badbrainstorm@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Some say the inspiration to steal the GUI from Xerox was hatched on that infamous, piss soaked day

Passed him once on a stairway when he was super ill. Made me sad.

[–] variants@possumpat.io 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You should have let him beat you

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 years ago

What I mean is that we passed at the top of the stairs and I let him go down first.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

But then he'd have to be behind that awful stench. I wouldn't have let him win either...

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 2 points 2 years ago

That bunion is gnarly

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I just realized this is a real video. The joke was on me the whole time. Fucking hell.

[–] Hovenko@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I am wondering if all iSheep do the same

[–] WaxedWookie@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Making your choice of tech platforms a meaningful part of your personality is cringey as fuck - irrespective of the platform.
