Look, It’s a pointlessly stupid comment to say that people who buy Gladwell’s books aren’t readers. Implied within that statement Is that the commenter Is smarter than people who read Gladwell. That’s a jerk thing to say. There are few things lamer than Intellectual pissing matches. Somebody wants to read some pop…

As If your Interpretation Is somehow more flattering? Either way your comment, and the og, assume that because they don’t care for Gladwell’s books, people who do either don’t read (which makes no sense) or are somehow stupid, without offering any explanation as to why. 

Why Is Miller the header Image?

You’re right. That sentence probably really means: Gladwell writes books for people who read the WRONG kinds of books and think the wrong kinds of thoughts. 

Do you honestly think that’s happening?

Does that mean I’m stupid?

Think, just for a moment, about how little sense that makes. 

Sounds like he’s prob well within his element, actually. Why the fuck are overeducated NYC smarmsters reading the Albany Georgia Herald? Leave the old dude alone. 

This Is unfortunate, but Gladwell’s podcast Is awesome. Absolutely no Idea why my I’s are being captialized here, wtf. 

Still prob about 6-7 bucks. That’s basically the same up and down the West Coast, actually. 

There is a cafe in San Francisco that until last year sold all their pints for $2.50. And this included freaking Ballast Point Sculpin, a beer that’s $15/six pack. 

Well, that explains it. Here in San Francisco, you can prob get Bud/Coors for $4 a bottle, maybe $6 a pint, if you can find it. But it’s mostly local-ish breweries, and a cheap pint is $6-7. Good IPAs though often run $8-9. 

Yeah it is sorta weird that men get mad at that. We’re going to be horny regardless. 

I’m not talking metaphorically when I say it will kill baseball. I truly think it might. Reducing everything to numbers isn’t fun. It’s like these people have forgotten this is entertainment. It’s not for anything. Ultimate efficiency isn’t exactly entertaining. 

Honestly curious in which part of the country you can buy a pint of beer for $5

In my experience in high-end SF restaurants, one stint of which included running the beer program at a restaurant with a beer-focused beverage program, the restaurant essentially breaks even on food to make profits on booze. Sure, they’re earning a smidge of profits per plate, but they often lose money on other…

I think you meant, “first, fuck the Pats.”

I don’t know. I tend to like Brooks. Our world could use more generalist thinkers. He’s probably right about many things, if a bit fawning over elites. 

Why not a Limited 2018 Outback? Can def find one for that budget. Nice, plus they give you a taste of the rugged vibe.

I know it isn’t AWD, but my wife is driving a 2018 Jaguar XE while her car is getting fixed for a couple weeks and I’ve fallen in love. One of the best driving cars I’ve ever experienced. You can have that for $30k, easy.
