If you ever need a reminder that this society deserves to be destroyed, it should come from the fact that absolutely anyone cares in the slightest about any of this - nonetheless are willing to pay many years salaries for something you can get for five bucks.

I'm on a mission to help fix my son's allergies and asthma. He's 3 yrs old
1) what should I try?
2) who should I talk to?
he has the 'triad' (allergies, asthma, exzema)
- we don't know what he's allergic to
- he's in a semi-permanent state of flare up (redness, wheezy, runny nose type stuff)
- if he catches any kind of cold, we end up in the ER because his breathing gets too labored (needs nebulizer for hours)

I'm tired of getting this quote thrown at me, and I strongly suspect it comes from people who are neither familiar with Rick's work nor would they wear his clothes. People are just fatphobic and want to use a fashion designer to justify their prejudices. 🧵

ok i really have no idea what's going on when most people dance
Like, if you see *me* doing some casual side-to-side shuffle and head bop, this means i either
a) am in a holding pattern waiting for music to get good, or
b) danced so hard i cannot physically dance any more

@buccocapital They’re honestly kinda fun but you usually meet someone seriously off apps anyway

Yesterday “the youths” on my team were talking about dating apps and it was legitimately horrifying
As someone who met their significant other - in person, before the apps - it feels like I got the last chopper out of Vietnam

@buccocapital Seeing this in tech anecdotally from buddies - what finance vertical are you witnessing in?

Getting 1,000-1,500 applications A DAY on open roles
Impossible to parse through applicants. Impossible to do outbound since people won't move roles
It's honestly insane to try and hire right now tbh. A frustrating dynamic

@buccocapital Similar experience anecdotally from friends at the shop - heard sketchy things across different functions so it’s not idiosyncratic as well

I’ve interviewed tons of candidates from Wayfair over the years
Almost every single one of them had negative things to say about the culture + management. Even when the stock price was high
Very few (if any) other companies where I’ve seen that consistency
