I made a Proton account yesterday to start actually fully de-googling myself. It felt really good. I recommend it.
I agree. I’m 41 and was a smoker for like 16 years starting in high school. I saw cool adults smoking as a kid and that’s that. I still vape some, but I strictly don’t do it in front of the kids in my life. I don’t want them to think it’s cool.
I’m also realizing you posted a metric crap ton of killer landscape photos today. I think I’ve liked 7 of them at this point. Please keep posting. Username is also 🤘🏼
I imagine there's many hotels that look like this. I came to ask if it was one in SOHO, NYC. Looks JUST like it.
This woman has quietly been a hero for all of us the entire time she’s been in that office. She better not be going anywhere.
I used to work in merchandising, and it doesn’t exactly work this way. To some extent it does, but there’s a lot more nuance.
When a printing shop gets a contract to do team merch for playoffs, they will be given ALL the possible art, all the possible colors for blank shirts to print on, and a scheduled scenario. For example, after game 2 if the series is tied 1-1, don’t print. If after game 2 the series is 2-0, print 25% of orders for winning team, etc.
The actual margins for the printers isn’t very high. So these types of contracts are necessary. It’s not easy to pack a building of screen printers at short notice to print, and often they end up having to print off hours or weekends.
This isn’t to say some loser shirts are printed. Many are. You may get that Indians shirt someday. It’s kinda a crazy world.
I try to avoid it. I only buy there what I can’t find locally, or elsewhere on the internet, or anywhere at the price. At this point, I probably purchase less than an item a month from Amazon, and I’m still trying to cut that down.
