    The fact of the matter is that he does care that people love him, he cares VERY MUCH. If he didnt care he wouldn't bother with all the trouble to do donations and getting his name on shit. If he didnt care he would just build his shitty ugly ass building out in Wyoming somewhere, he has the money to, but no he needs it to be in a place to be seen so that he can be remembered. Basically this is the definition of cope.

      tbh I think he does the donations to flex on the poors and force people to let him fuck with their lives. I don't think he actually cares about his legacy. He's just cruel.

        Maybe, but I feel like you could be more cruel in different ways.

      How dare you. And Mingus would not approve.

      Charles Mingus

      Personality and temper

      Example...

      On October 12, 1962, Mingus punched Jimmy Knepper in the mouth while the two men were working together at Mingus's apartment on a score for his upcoming concert at The Town Hall in New York, and Knepper refused to take on more work. Mingus's blow broke off a crowned tooth and its underlying stub. According to Knepper, this ruined his embouchure and resulted in the permanent loss of the top octave of his range on the trombone – a significant handicap for any professional trombonist.

      This attack temporarily ended their working relationship, and Knepper was unable to perform at the concert. Charged with assault, Mingus appeared in court in January 1963 and was given a suspended sentence. Knepper did again work with Mingus in 1977 and played extensively with the Mingus Dynasty, formed after Mingus's death in 1979.

    Sure I designed a building that makes the Kowloon Walled City look fire safe, but I’m rich

      Kowloon Walled City look fire safe

      They must have had some kind of fire safety systems. Charleston SC has a similar population and their fire department had 564 fires last year.

    Either lizard people are real or being a capitalist literally does something to the human face.

    "Your building sucks"

    "I am happy that I am rich. Your criticism can't hurt me."

    "Your building still sucks."
