One of the most frustrating parts about maturity is admitting that the NFL draft industrial complex is mostly right about body metrics

I took notice, especially since it disconnected from gold last year even though I think it's most fundamentally compelling thesis is digital gold

My working hypothesis is that it remains digital gold but got way ahead of itself in the hype leading up to a Trump admin and needed to work off the hype

First comes smiles, then lies. Last is gunfire.

Would you like to be a Private Credit firm that lent to them? Plenty of those, too...

I would go so far as to say the whole world vibe feels joyless

I'm sure there's a long think piece that could point to the chief negative externality of social media algorithms/feeds/bots as ruining global joy

The happy hour vibe is still the best vibe of all time

Twitter in the old days brought the happy hour discussion with drinks vibe - alas, long gone

Agreed - and no idea who we're talking about - but it also means if you are that bad with your personal life I kind of don't want you in a governance or fiduciary type senior role

Good point. I’ve had a few friends end engagements, maybe more than got divorced

The joke was it’s a divorce without the state being involved

I think some other comments got to it - but marrying later probably biggest thing

I also wonder if witnessing downsides high divorce rates from prior generations makes people more practical about working through issues rather than cutting the cord

Is there some good long form reading on this?

That is a huge change for this gen

How is this not covered more widely

I have a weird theory the divorce rate will fall for our generation or at least initial marriages will last longer prior to divorce

the gas stations off I-10 in Louisiana contain better food by themselves than like, 38 of 50 states combined

Someone at Ole Miss threw a basketball on the field and the ref got a BUCKET

Drunk off this upcycled big 12 game

Yeah clearly this is not about going to be seen not to watch tennis

Mother of God

My friend in college was a big Lou Gehrig guy, thinks Cal was weak. Hated the guy for breaking his record
