      Love the vibe and energy against pretense for pretense sakes, but your source makes you seem demented as it literally repeats exactly what they said if you read it.

      Read your own article all the way to the bottom ❤️

      (Also thank you for citing a fucking Gizmodo article from 2018 instead of the actual Google Code of Conduct which is the top result for "Google Code of Conduct to prove my point about laziness beautifully. Please note, you’ll have to read all the way to the end again, sorry. https://abc.xyz/investor/google-code-of-conduct/)
