I am natively fluent in Spanish & took Latin for 8 years but Portuguese (and French to a lesser extent) both sound like jumbled gibberish to me. The pronunciation is just crazy

Your stock trades at $59, but we can make it trade at $62 if we manufacture a crisis by changing the logo then immediately change it back to the original logo

Do you really think a Starbucks executive is bad at selling things to Target Americans? That’s the bet you want to make?

The smartypants raging about Cracker Barrel redesign on Twitter are correct that it artistically / culturally sucks But I hypothesize incorrect in thinking that consumers will care. The Starbucks lady obv knows how to drive revenue. She’s not selling to you Long $CBRL?

A lot of games we play have discrete initiation rituals Socializing is not like this You must keep a parallel thread running that constantly re-evaluates whether or not the situation is becoming a game

This works in business as well. Your counterparty may not even be consciously aware they are intiating a game. The metaskill to develop is something like: “The presence of mind to realize when a game is being initiated”

This is a test of your IQ & sense of humor Getting offended or upset is a failure mode. Your moves: 1. Implicitly acknowledge you are now playing a game. Roll your eyes / smirk “we’re really doing this huh?” 2. Send it right back 3. When YOUR bluff is called, double down
there’s a certain kind of foid that thinks acting excessively mean and arrogant towards you is a way of flirting and I have no idea why they think that would work
