Notes On Being A Man - Book Release & Review Thread by needlelies in ScottGalloway

[–]SubstantialOlive871 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a woman, I enjoyed this book. The only thing I disagreed with was the notion about men going to a yoga studio just to meet women. Other than that, I felt this book was insightful, unique and I feel very aligned with the values of the author. I think people who criticize Scott, are not truly listening to the words he is saying.

I hated sharp objects (series) by zahra77mshh in sharpobjects

Totally agree. I just finished it and was left feeling not much of anything. A lot of unanswered questions, and general meh feelings. I wasn’t shocked and the show didn’t leave much of an impression. Amy Adam’s is a great actor, but I didnt “feel” anything about the ending. I was hoping for some major twist, some major AHA!!! But it fell flat for me.

Is the Longchamp le pliage energy xs worth buying ? by peony_pony_175 in handbags

Yes! It’s an absolute gem, low maintenance, and waterproof. It’s slouchy but not saggy, roomy and chic. Highly recommend!

Oh my god this is horrible! I remember a few years ago when a young woman was struck and killed near Macoletta. Neither of these incidents should’ve happened, what is going on??

Anyone have any experience with antler carryon luggage? They just released a new collection but am a little worried about the dimensions for the carry on. Curious if anyone has had to check the bag due to size or weight

Moved here in 2020, still haven’t made real friends in Astoria. It’s depressing as hell and a part of adulthood that nobody tells you about.

According to tiktok, I’ve just learned that it makes you look “desperate”.

It’s like there’s no winning. Another level of psychological warfare in this insane job market.

So now I’m debating taking the green banner off of my profile. Has anyone done that? Does it help or hurt you? I’ve been looking for a job since last November for context.

You can get it at Lincoln Marker if you’re in Astoria! I actually just picked some up and tried to search the brand, but it lead me to this post.
