A roe joke? Too soon.

The difference to me is that Frozen was out there consciously subverting stereotypes, the very specific Disney Princess stereotypes. The “act of true love” switcheroo and all that.

Is the next interview the one where realizes water is wet?

He’s the Piano Man who sits 10 yards from the keyboard

I spent a year in my consulting firm’s Paris office. I definitely scandalized my colleagues with my habit of grabbing a jambon-beurre baguette at the boulangerie downstairs then going back to my desk to eat it. Or — quelle horreur — skipping lunch entirely!

Students go home at lunch. Or at least they did 20 years ago. Presumably teachers have plenty of time.

I suppose technically an interview, but really a podcast discussion with his buddies. One where he revealed how one of those buddies had rescued him from substance abuse by calling him out as an asshole, which was coming from him having zero self-esteem at the time.

You’re gonna break your shoulder stretching to include David Lynch when there are so many better options staring you in the face?

Where, in Akron?

I’m 45 and just broke into a field, starting a new career as a lawyer.

Yep, some of this is very New Orleans, some very Louisiana, and some of it very Gulf Coast. Fantastic Asian communities definitely falls in the latter category.

I’m not putting words in your mouth. You said “I get that, but in 2022 those extra costs are literally the cost of doing business” — which is something quite different from “that’s the cost of doing business with Platypus Man”.

Great article, will make.

You’re telling me that they single-handedly blighted Detroit with their real estate purchases? No one has that kind of money.

“leapfrogging all over the world” ?

And it’s fine if businesses move away from cash. But to frame it as "it's simply the cost of doing business" is dumb. You're not here enlightening business owners on some great mystery. They are well, well aware of people's expectations re: cards and have made the business decision to stick to cash.

You think they didn’t have cash registers in the 90s?

Try to keep it together. Credit cards have been extremely popular since the 80s. Customers haven’t put cash-only places out of business because they serve a niche — people who don’t care and want the services the cheapskate provider provides at the price he provides them at.

Doubtful. It’s a Breakfast Club reference, the bat isn’t part of the tagline — or that’s how it looks to me.

“I can’t think of a reason to buy pre-made salsa.”
