      Apparently, I lack an entrepreneurial mindset.


      “We invented all-new chips made from 100% fruit as a snackable alternative to high fat, heavily processed snacks and are bringing them to market in the United States next year. As an added bonus, we uncovered a way to render our waste into a grummy, fruit flavored sheet packaged as individual rolls.”

      “…So you learned how to use a dehydrator and invented fruit rollups. Cool, cool.”


      ‘“It’s like Amazon, but for books!”
      “Dude, Amazon WAS for books.”
      “Yeah, but I mean like Kindle Unlimited, where you can borrow things and return them!”
      “…That’s a library, bro. They already exist. And also they are free.”’.


      If I have to listen to one more “entrepreneur” blather on for an entire hour about their personal journey as an “industry disrupter”, I am going to fucking cut someone.

            @Arkandel I mean, fruit rollups are awesome. If someone has made them organic and also somehow not horrible for you, that’s cool. I’m down. But they’re not a “snack industry disruptor” and they need to calm the fuck down.

              You too have witnessed this horror.

              This guy is just openly a shameless huckster. It’s kind of refreshing to me if I look at it a certain way.

              I woke up feeling so good, I think I’d better call in sick/ I need a personal trainer to help me hold my drink
              I plan to be spontaneous next time we meet/I’m putting off procrastinating until next week
              I’ll get onto it when I give a shit

                @SpaceKhomeini Yeah, any time discussions of entrepreneurs come up, my brain immediately goes to Nathan Masri.

                  If any of y’all are in college and your professors get after you for not reading?

                  Those fuckers don’t read either.

                  ETA: Okay I talked to the particular person I was mad at on the phone and she’s actually a really sweet old lady so I feel bad that I called her a fucker on here, but she still didn’t read.

                        Climate change.

                        I was all excited to RP last weekend, going to have a great time!!!

                        And now it’s been 20 degrees hotter than normal for a week straight, and I have lost my mojo entirely.

                              Not really a peeve, just something I’m thinking about.

                              Any of you Americans ever notice how often we’ll say “no” to mean “yes” and vice-versa? I’ve never had a problem telling which way someone means the word, but I’m sitting here trying to figure out the rules as if I needed to explain it to someone who’s ESL, and I can’t isolate the rules at all.

                                @GF There’s a variant among Midwesterners.

                                “Yeah, no.”

                                and

                                “No, yeah.”

                                It’s exactly as maddening as you imagine it to be.

                                  My principal asked me to do a walk and talk with her. I know consciously that it is legit just a check in. But there is always that “what did I do wrong and what punishment is coming” when there isn’t a set agenda.

                                    Australians do that too, weirdly.

                                    Weird that midwesterners and Australians both do it, that is.

                                        I use ‘yeah, no’ every so often here in NY. It’s a way to add emphasis to the ‘no’.

                                          We say “so don’t I” as agreement.

                                          “You like Kelly’s roast beef? So don’t I!” = “I too enjoy Kelly’s roast beef sandwiches.”
