Talked to a friend who got laid off from his tech job in Austin last month. He said 'They kept telling me I was safe right up until the meeting invite.' Made me rethink how much I trust company promises.

A student changed my mind about a campus speaker last fall

After a talk at our college, a student told me, 'I came to shout him down, but I stayed to ask a question.' That happened outside the library, right in the rain. It made me see these events less as battles and more as chances, however small, for real talk. Has a speaker you disagreed with ever surprised you?

Just realized my friend's grocery hack saved him $80 a month

He told me he only buys meat on Tuesdays because that's when his local store marks down the older cuts. I always shopped on weekends and paid full price. Does anyone else plan their whole shopping trip around one specific sale day?
