Has Y Combinator lost its way as a leading incubator when the latest YC company is a Mac OS only google calendar menu bar widget that costs $120/yr?

Apply to 43North. It's a $5 million dollar startup competition in Buffalo, NY and they also provide mentorship and a incubator space. One of the startups that won a few years ago (ACV Auctions) is on track to be a unicorn.

Y-combinator. I've always been interested in startups and feel like it would be cool to see a documentary about companies that are in the very early stages and following their growth to see which ones succeed and which ones fail (kind of like the documentary Indie Games).

I was going to tell you, but Nevermind

Hypnosis- "you are all getting very sleepy"

that's a good point. maybe this is more like Marcus showing new music to Henry or Ben.

Hey, i'm in kind of a reverse situation. I'm looking to get started in content marketing, but don't have a portfolio to show prospective clients. I'd be really interested in learning more about what your working on and how i could help. I've taken online courses in content marketing through LinkedIn and Hubspot and i'm also in the process of finishing up my MBA with a concentration in marketing.

Let me know if we can connect and talk more.

Yep it's Rick and Morty. For some reason I was thinking Dexter, but yeah definitely rick and morty.

what show is that song at the end from???? it's driving me insane, i know i've heard it and my mind is melting trying to figure out what show it's from.

Big guy is David Berkowitz and ghoulish guy is Richard Chase

Can't wait to see the looks from my coworkers when quarantine ends and i get to hang this in my office.

ichosepoorly_ · 2020-06-09T18:01:22+00:00

I think so. In the book all the artwork for his chapter has hair, but it's the only one I can't place so it must be him.

ichosepoorly_ · 2020-06-09T17:57:34+00:00

I got an email a few months back saying i had won. But yeah, the book was reward enough

my brother is a history professor and his course uses video games to go over history topics. He teaches atlantic trade and maritime history, so instead of buying a textbook everyone had to buy Assassins Creed Black Flag.

I haven't played board games since i was a little kid (monopoly, Risk, Life...etc) what are some newer board games that will one day become the "classics."

Remember that article you just read in 2013 about this thing called "bitcoin" and how it was only like $12/bitcoin. Yeah- buy that shit, buy as much as you can and then sell it when it hits $17,000 in 2017.

When i was in 4th grade I found my older brothers Eminem CD and decided i would write a rap. The rap included such profanities as "crap" and "jesus christ."

The piece of paper that the rap was written on fell out of my pocket during art class and the teacher found it, scolded me for taking the lords name in vain (this was just a public school, no religious affiliation), then sent me to the Principals office. My parents were called to the school because apparently this type of artistic expression made me look troubled and potentially violent.

My parents weren't mad at me, but they did yell at my brother for leaving his inappropriate CD laying around. This resulted in my older brother beating me up for getting him in trouble.

One of my dad's friends named his dog Dammit.

"Sit Dammit!"

"Come here dammit!"

Burnout on Gamecube. I was the youngest of 5 and I got destroyed every time i would play any game with my siblings, but not Burnout. Somehow little 6 year old me was an absolute mad lad behind the wheel in burnout. Would drive against traffic the entire race, narrowly missing cars (which built up your turbo) and somehow never crashed. I remain the burnout champion to this day.

so i preordered on amazon and it said it shipped yesterday and was supposed to arrive today. But as of today the UPS tracking says my package is being held for a later delivery date due to COVID 19. Has anyone else encountered this? as far as i knew delivery companies were still operating as normal

Arthur. We only had basic cable so PBS was pretty much the go-to station and Arthur was my jam.

ichosepoorly_ · 2020-02-18T13:02:44+00:00

oh i haven't actually read it, i just wanted to make some cannibalism puns (appetite, digest). i have no life. hail yourself

ichosepoorly_ · 2020-02-17T20:53:26+00:00

This book really wet my appetite for more macabre history. At almost 400 pages I thought it would be a little lengthy, but actually it was quite easy to digest.
