I mean, you would be able to say that if I was getting credit for the hypertext and all of the derivative media but I'm not.
Hym "You would be able to say I got a leg up from Todd Phillips if I got the credit but I didn't. So we actually know what would have happened if I had gotten a leg up. So, BECAUSE I DIDN'T get a leg up, I created AI WITHOUT a leg up. And now no one wants to give me any credit because it COULDN'T have been them. It's the exact opposite of the thing you said Chris. So, you're right Chris. I guess I was wrong. I didn't need all of the shit Noah was being handed. I just needed some Adderall and some free time. And now I don't have either! And I have fluid in my brains. I can hear it sloshing around in my ear when I swallow and feel the pressure building up in my skull. So, guess I should be thanking you really. For leaving me to suffer while you monetize my ideas for yourself. You're clearly a fantastic guy and are not just a short, soy version of Andrew Tate."

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."

city chicken 

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.
