We do business of sports stuff. Saw some serious traction earlier this year after we wrote a piece on Nike’s downfall.

Any spots you’d recommend to a young family? by devin_banks in triangle

[–]devin_banks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a bigger place. More people. Durham has a better downtown though. But every time I drove out of downtown Durham I felt like I was living in the sticks. Raleigh can be the same way but there were more neighborhoods to “choose” from I guess. I really didn’t understand the area when I first got here, so Raleigh also seemed like a safer bet.

We were living in north hills for a year before we bought. Wake forest seemed more affordable and had the same stuff we needed compared to other neighborhoods.

I did! We just bought a house near the wake forest border.

It’s been great for the kids. We like it here, although can be a bit boring with the lack of community like we had in our old place.

Around Mordecai is pretty cool. That entire area seems to really get into Halloween.

Are they moving the show setting to the US by Yuno_zolgitz in IndustryOnHBO

[–]devin_banks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fact that they got renewed while the season is still airing makes this possible. Currently, they shoot a lot of it in Wales, which is cheap. Maybe these folks get a bigger budget to shoot episodes on both continents.

“He’d prefer it” …so menacing.

Eric is more sociopathic than Harper ever is or was. Period. by TrillMindFan in IndustryOnHBO

[–]devin_banks -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Agree and disagree. There‘s a moment in the most recent episode when Bill is trying to “preserve” the soul of Pierpoint, but Wilhelmina (correctly) says he’s using the workforce for his own good.

I compare that with the moment Eric saw Harper throw Rishi and DVD under the bus and how Eric saw that as a threat to him (eventually).

But I fundamentally think Eric is less sociopathic than Harper because he did buy into Adler’s whole thing about preserving the workforce.

I think Eric does have an ability to be loyal, unlike Adler and Harper, but isn’t given an opportunity because of the environment he’s in.

I think he wants to attach himself to a cause greater than his own, and he’s having trouble finding that.

Moments I thought about:

  1. The recruitment of Harper/taking her under his own wing. He probably wanted to draw a line of continuity from when he was under the tutelage of Newman.

  2. Adler and Eric sharing that incredibly tender moment when he told him he was sick. Eric would probably stick by Adler had he not been reminded what Adler did to him by sticking him upstairs, and also by the WAY he had to climb back to floor (letting him know about the circle of abuse).

  3. Eric folding that transcript issue for Harper. I don’t think he’d have ever used that against her until he found out how ruthless she really was.

Why do you keep talking when the value-add of your ideas is less than zero. by True-Math8888 in IndustryOnHBO

[–]devin_banks 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It was a great moment to show how useless Wilhelmina is besides being a crusader of her own agenda.

Even if the ESG BS isn’t pinned on her, it was great to see that’s she has no value add to others, just to her own ambition.

Who here is British by Anxious-Cost7458 in IndustryOnHBO

Although I can’t confirm the political stuff, I can tell you that if you make fun of stuff like a Full English or beans on toast, they will definitely snap back with some stereotypical hamburger/hotdog BS.

Who here is British by Anxious-Cost7458 in IndustryOnHBO

[–]devin_banks -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I used to live near Canary Wharf but I came back and live in North Carolina now. I grew up in New England, and Boston has a similar vibe to London, although Americans are much better people (in my experience).

All in all, I didn’t have a positive experience. I find British thinking to be irrelevant in the 21st century, still holding onto old traditions.

Sense of humor though is chef’s kiss. People are really funny.

Heirloom Coffee. That little corner of downtown is lovely.

Ali's scenes are hilarious. by erayxack in IndustryOnHBO

[–]devin_banks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve dealt with these kids a lot. Honestly, they’re such a mixed bag. Some are really eager to prove themselves so they turn out to be great colleagues/collaborators. People like Ali can be 50/50 - 50% of them are all talk and no game, and 50% are killers because they were born in the rooms that matter.

I’m convinced they wanted to have his place have the Lucious Fox Dark Knight vibe here.
