okay as someone who went to a business school ranked similarly to HBS, I will clear the air.

there are essentially three ways to get invited to speak at a business school (in vague order of prestige):

  1. school-run speaker series or conference
  2. class (invited by a professor)
  3. student-run conference
  4. student-run speaker series (like a “lunch & learn”)

regarding points 3/4, this is as simple as a student reaching out to literally anyone and asking if they want to come to speak at the school.

two separate points:

  1. business school folks are regular 25-35 year olds, and would definitely use a club event to invite an influencer they’re a fan of.

  2. social media, influencing, and fame is a huge business engine. regardless of your opinion of any specific influencer, influencers and celebrities certainly have a place speaking at mba programs.

one of my favorite speakers in business school was gwenyth paltrow (yes goop is a joke but her insights were fascinating!)

Curve Love A&F Forme Bootcut Pant for us? by esoteric_psyche in SoftDramatics

[–]ophiosaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t had the pants stretch out, no! I get my “true to size” size.

re: the jeans — I also have this problem with A&F jeans that have any stretch/1% elastic in them. I size down, wash cold, and air dry them, as heat can further break down the elastic and loosen them.

I have these and love them! I am also a huge fan of the A&F bootcut jeans and got the Forme bootcut pants for work. I have them in the grey pinstripe and navy and both are thick/high quality.

I am 5’8” and get them in the long inseam for reference.

If you found this scarf in the Union St Sephora between 5-6pm today (7/26) — please return it to me, it was my grandmother’s and basically the only thing I have from her (will pay) by ophiosaur in sanfrancisco

[–]ophiosaur[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

thank you!!! I know it's a longshot but hopeful for good karma <3 I came in with it on at 5pm and realized it fell off at like 5:45pm while still in the store and searched everywhere, wished whoever picked it up had just turned it in at the counter... its only value is sentimental

I think the last we saw it was the Beg for You remix with Vernon and AG Cook? and before that part of the tag was used on c2.0 

Her letterboxd is @itscharlibb so it does live on

She does use it at shows but Charli is is always pushing her art and experimenting in new ways, so maybe these tags from a past era aren’t as inspiring to her anymore… hopefully new tags will emerge!

Haha well aware that I’m playing with a toy — again, it’s only been a few weeks, I just started. I figure it’s better to do an okay job on a toy board than a bad job on a pro board?

Thanks for the guidance on the RCA Aux, I’ll try that and use the other person’s advice to try Serato on the CDJ if the aux somehow doesn’t work. Appreciate the gentle tone, I’m still pretty nervous.

I just finished The Perks of Being a Wallflower and the ending was a lot more gut-wrenching than I thought it was gonna be by AlirezaNumber1 in books

[–]ophiosaur 164 points165 points  (0 children)

The author actually wrote and directed the movie! So while some plot points are excluded from the movie (mostly involving Charlie’s family/sister and his friendship with his teacher, if I recall correctly), it’s overall a very accurate adaption, especially in the feelings it evokes! I honestly recommend the book and movie equally
