Came here to say this. I’m a sales engineer and often find myself monologuing about technical shit, over the years I’ve worked it into my schtick to stop and make sure everyone is still understanding. 

Be prepared for something completely unrelated to you to be the wet blanket here.

I’m 100% ok with having brief pointless meetings.  It’s the long pointless meetings that I take issue with 

Not if you live in the northeast US ;)

This works right up until your doorknobs are around 65+ years old, then you’re looking at potentially a little bit more complexity.

95% percent of the shit on this list is purchased by gift givers, and not by the actual parents.

Mentioning a landfill in the subheader is dumb. Leaves are completely biodegradable and wouldn’t adversely affect anything. Also, they don’t generally end up and a landfill but in a yard waste facility where they will be turned into compost.

We’ve always historically done very well with Toyota owners with the Tundra, but we think this truck will give us the ability to conquest more because of its towing capabilities and because of its brand positioning, the strength of the look of the truck, and the interior of the truck.

Side note: I used to work for a software company that helped private companies track equity/cap tables, and REIT’s were our white hot nightmare... Their ownership structure was always the most mind blowingly complex and confusing. Not that it has anything to do with this in particular, but it was completely nuts.

And remember kids, if you’re using a work supplied computer, basically anything you do (settings, specific applications, notifications) can likely be tracked as well.

if Captain Lou Albano and Andre the Giant had a kid...

My god, if they only made a lunchbox that looked like this... My kid would LOVE this...

Do you have children? They might not be physically able to buy things, but holy shit do they wield a lot of sway in purchases... Watch the commercials on nick Jr. sometime if you don’t believe me. It’s wall to wall infomercial style useless toy bullshit...

“They’re moving deck chairs on the Titanic,” Michael Khoo, who runs the disinformation campaign at Friends of the Earth, said of the new policies. “They’re not looking at the real problem of misinformation.”

As someone who has been using this technique since childhood, this seems really gimmicky... Sometimes when the torque of turning a screw won’t work, setting the screwdriver and giving it a good whack with a hammer is enough to dislodge whatever garbage is on the threads keeping it from moving, and/or setting the bit…

How TF did these not make the list?

Something containing the name “Delta” rn... Oof

Have had multiple friends who have written purposefully manipulative, completely full of shit letters trying to sway sellers. I’m talking people who have no intention of having children, waxing poetic about watching their children play in the backyard.
