gshock stay winning

calling the top on apple watches and the trend of counter signaling by being like “anti luxury” in general. feels like a relic from the age when tech was still an underdog

everyone trying to 'end jobs' seems like the least prepared kind of person to not actually have a job

wetsuit next question

[VB Knives @Empty_America]

For a while I was thinking that I might move to California once my genius is recognized, but you have to consider water temperature.

The real Med has a warm sea in summer, CA very much does not.

None of the alternative meds have sea water over 72 even in mid summer.

negroni tolerance gap

[Aarti @Aartiutwani]

gaps in SF relationships:

- commute gap (city vs. south bay)
- tech gap (startup vs. faang)
- poly gap (enm vs. monogamous)
- hustle gap (building next unicorn vs. touching grass at 4:20)
- flakiness gap (confirms then ghosts vs. actually shows up)
- housing gap (rents a closet in the mission vs. sleeps in the office)
- weather gap (55° foggy sf only vs. santa cruz weekends)
- ambition gap (burning man + ayahuasca vs. kids + marin backyard)

[Adele Bloch @adele_bloch]

how to strangermaxx:

> stay at events 10-15 min longer than you want to - push through the initial discomfort
> pick one new social challenge per week that feels a little more daring than usual!
> talk to a stranger in line, do something alone, strike up a convo at an event - start small
> it will be like growing a muscle so get your reps in
> remember people are WAY less focused on you than you think. they're in their own heads too
> have the audacity to believe that people ARE curious about you. they WANT to hear from you!!
> get off your phone & open up your body language
> smile, make eye contact, and practice 5 seconds of courage
> not every interaction will click and that's fine - you're practicing!!
> you'll see how people are EXCITED to talk to you & strangers aren't as scary as they seem!!

there's a whole world out there for you filled with wonderful conversations, laughter, and kindness with strangers

lean in!!!

have fun!!!

most surefire way to make new friends in a new city where you know no one. just don't be weird, which is SO hard for a lot of people

[emo transsexual façade @no1quippyfan]

the concept of being a regular at a bar is so foreign to me. where do you get the money

[mick connell @mickconnell_]

because that's how you eventually get to make real ones

[icon (5-core GPU) @iconredesign]

You people already know this is not a real Apple ad

Why do people love to create nonexistent ads then pat themselves on the back for how clever they are
