  4. Over-long description of a point that could just have easily been made in 1 sentence? Check.

This email by SBF is basically one big malapropism.

        it’s like the negative thoughts I have whenever I convince myself I’m not cutout to create my own business. I’m sure I’d be a self-indulgent weirdo like that.

          I’m sure I’d be a self-indulgent weirdo like that.

          Hey, don’t talk about my acquaintance from the niche internet forum that criticises other niche internet forums that way.

          More seriously, I hope those thoughts aren’t holding you back. I’d like to think that by being in sneerclub you are inoculated from transforming into the specific kind of self-indulgent weirdo on display here.
