In terms of money and business, my fav is how Xerox didn’t know how to market/capitalize on what was effectively the first personal computer before personal computers were even a concept, which is estimated to be a $1.4 trillion mistake.
What launcher and icon pack is this?

I’m in marketing haha, I joke that I’m my parent’s IT person, but that’s just about as technical as I get
Crobat! I always add it to the party if it’s possible.
I pinched a nerve in my back late last week and today was the first morning I woke up without any immediate pain, so that’s progress at least
I’m hybrid and I only go into the office once a week, though I live near the downtown area. We have (compared to the rest of the US) a fairly robust public transit system, a bustling tourism industry, and I think around 100 universities with the students that entails. Between students, tourists, and the extremely wealthy, I don’t see our downtown slowing down anytime soon.
I’ve noticed that storefronts are cycling through more frequently than they did in the past, but empty storefronts are very quick to get rented back out. Rents are definitely unaffordable, but I’ve noticed that for people who actually live here, many are willing to live a little further out and take public transit in to experience downtown outside of needing to be here for work.
Disclosure that this last point definitely doesn’t apply to me, but I’m also seeing a lot of people who actually go out of their way to go into the office now. With roommate situations and tiny apartments, I’m hearing more and more about people who are hybrid or fully remote, but actually enjoy a big working space with what might actually be more peace and quiet than they’d find at home.
I’m ace/homoromantic.
Thankfully I live in a pretty queer friendly area. I never technically came out, I just brought my GF with me to Thanksgiving one year. I absolutely gave my parents a heads up, but my personal philosophy is that if I wouldn’t have to come out if I was straight, I shouldn’t have to come out just because I’m gay. Thankfully my parents stopped inviting the problematic parts of my family years ago, so everything went super well. I’m effectively out to everyone generally in my day to day life.
My being ace though is nobody’s business except for my GF and tends to not come up in conversation lol
My partner and I got a beach house for a long weekend so we’re planning on doing a whole lotta nothing!
Idk but I find this incredibly funny. But also my dad is super into electronics and always tells me whenever he gets a new dyke (diagonal cutter) and I’m just like no you’re not allowed to replace me
I’m part of a non-profit queer marching/symphonic band that does year round performances, so I’m exposed a little differently than most, but there are a number of corporations that do large donations/sponsorships that aren’t exactly promoted out into the world. It might be insignificant to some, but these donations are what allow us to basically continue existing year after year so that we can continue supporting the local community.
While I do live in a predominantly lgbtq-friendly area, the extent to which our performances are televised makes a difference in terms of visibility all across the US. We were the first queer band to ever perform at the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade last year and the amount of messages we got from watchers from all around the country for the following few months was truly amazing.
I coincidentally walked past on my way to an appointment at 4p and honestly the way the place was crawling with emergency cycles made me think there was a shooting or something. Haven’t seen this kind of police presence in NYC since the BLM protests in 2020.
