the oracle stated something to the effect of "Socrates is the wisest person in Athens."[3] Socrates, believing the oracle but also completely convinced that he knew nothing, was said to have concluded that nobody knew anything, and that he was only wiser than others because he was the only person who recognized his own ignorance.

And exceedingly humble.

And exceedingly humble.

Could you be the humblest person in the world?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

It is very possible.

Steam did have refund policy and I have returned games in the past, but it was a review process.
