~~Education~~ Edison owed him 50k, roughly 1.2 million dollars in today's metrics.

Several months after Edison employed him, Tesla announced that his work was successfully completed. When Tesla asked to be paid, however, Edison seemed astonished. He explained that the offer of $50,000 had been made in jest. "When you become a full-fledged American you will appreciate an American joke," Edison said. Shocked and disgusted, Tesla immediately resigned.

Not just a shitty person but a literal bigot that likely would have followed ford in aligning himself with Hitler, he simply didn't live long enough and missed it but like 7 years.

Inaccurate opinion more like it. Dude pulled Trump shit and just refused to pay people he owed. Tesla died in poverty while Edison owed him tens of thousands of dollars, sure he isn't that bad..... Its like saying Henry Ford wasn't an absolute piece of shit.

That's literally when to use it, it's specifically to use when you could come off like an asshole and do not want to.

You don't use it in my best guess judging by your responses so far is because you get to act like the other person is crazy for taking you seriously.

Being the guy that jokingly hates Jews can be hilarious especially if they are Jewish but everyone has to know otherwise they might seem a bit..... Mmm Hitlery right?

Which I imagine is specifically why you don't use it.

That's what /s is for.

If you act a certain way don't be surprised if people treat you a certain way.

The average income of a enlistee is below the poverty line, if you can't get a job you can get your ass in the military and make enough to survive.

You act like every life choice is binary.

They have quotas blame the system not the consequences.

I think it's more of a don't trust themselves with that power sort of thing, I'll bet most of them have a hard time making the big calls and hard shots of life and work.

They're usually dudes who got bumped there for being injured, for being psyched, or being incompetent but well meaning. Don't be mean to them, they legit don't want to do what they're doing they know how stupid and shitty it is but they still have time left in contract and gotta trudge it out day by day like the rest of us.
