High quality post here, thank you.

What comes after death?

Well, it appears that they acquired their capital as a company focused on a moral cause that people were excited to get behind/support and quality products people wanted to buy. It also appears as though once they achieved the goal of capital acquisition to a certain level (or they saw diminishing returns in the shoe business), they completely shifted their focus towards maximizing shareholder value with their acquired capital, and this would also appear to mean abandoning the customer base that put them there: people who bought the shoes that they sold.

It's an interesting example. It could, in theory, serve as a template: champion a moral cause to secure capital and abandon said cause after reaching the financial goal.

It could also be fair to say that they saw no future in the shoe business and the pivot was out of necessity. I would have to dig deeper, but this is as far as I go today, thanks for your time. Peace.

Keep going, get a reflow station and try some smd solder kits. Get all the solder kits you like, try chisel tips with your iron. Try to etch your own pcb.

No I am not. You are projecting all your stupid bullshit on me.

You don't expect me to read all that shit. I will not.

Okay, so where did I do what you accuse me of and what you are using as justification for this treatment: where did I claim to hold objective truth?

I never did. Everything you built off of that false premise is invalid.

Okay, so I keep asking:

1. Why did anyone bother to reply to my comment by telling me that my personal choice is wrong?

2. What did they expect to get as a reply?

3. I looked at the rest of the comments and all the usual suspects were well represented. Why can't I have a single comment about 0.38 without it getting shitted up by imbeciles?

I don't have any problem here coming from my end as far as I can tell.

I didn't do any of that shit that you imagined. All I did was to share the joy of light strings and thin picks with anyone who would listen.

If you can't hear my song, it's not for you.

Why try to shout me down? Why are you scared of light strings and thin picks?

Go ahead, throw out my experience. What does that change now?

Overall, your reply here is aimed at discrediting someone who had the audacity to recommend light strings and thin picks and who also made the grave error of citing their history in support of that opinion. :::

Since you have figured this all out, please tell me why you replied to my comment. Please tell me why the other two replied to my comment. What is compelling you to shout down someone with a different opinion? There are more of you than the single me. Why are you afraid that my voice would be heard?

Why is it so important to a number of people here to make sure that someone recommending light strings and thin picks be discredited? Sounds ridiculous to me. No one is defending the behavior yet, but it persists.

No one has to like what I like. No one has to try light strings and thin picks.

That said, if you say something stupid to me, I might give you a response for it.

I also am aware that humans often times act out of fear, and here I believe it is fear of light strings and thin picks. What a silly thing to be afraid of, they can't hurt you...

Nobody pisses in my espresso.

You added zero value here and I wish that I could erase you from the record. I was not interested in anyone's disagreement with my choice which is based upon a lifetime of experience. If anyone would care to ask me why I chose that way, well, that would be fine with me and I would be happy to share. Why did you reply to my comment if it was only to disagree with my choice? I was asked to share my choice and I did.

I did not see it as a normal conversation, hence the response. If you want to have a normal conversation, I am open to that kindly.
