I’ve worked adjacent to this kind of thing for a long time: “male skew” and “female skew” is typically just market researcher / corporate-speak for one audience being 5-10% more male than the other one, demographically. Would be surprised if there’s not survey data backstopping it.

I interviewed for a role there several years ago, and didn’t get a call back.  But honestly after seeing their “culture deck” at the time, I was glad not to go farther in the process:  https://www.slideshare.net/reed2001/culture-1798664

Please explain this one to me.

I hope that someday you find yourself in a Biscuitville.

This is my new favorite Beirut song.

But that doesn’t make it right, does it?

You seem really mad about a photoshopped Porg.

I’ve had very good luck with these wine bags. Combines the padding with the breakage protection, and this brand is reusable (heavy velcro). Recently brought back 14 bottles of wines from Europe (across three suitcases) without a break.

Yeah, if you hated The Lobster, stay away from this.

I’m with you. I was on the fence about Bob at first. But I also had similar moments with Murray, Dr. Owens, and El’s aunt. On the reverse, the basketball scene with Billy felt the other way.
