      “The New Yorker is not high-brow. Neither is The Economist.”

      This is false and seems a little try hardish, like he’s trying to knock pontificating layabouts. I get it that phony pseuds are likely to humble brag about what they read in these publications, but even so, the smartest and wealthiest families I know have both of these mailed to their ski, vacation and primary homes

        You do realize that your username contradicts the first bullet of this entire list, right?

        You do realize the humourist made that his first bullet because he attended a non target and was previously in an industry obsessed with and full of Ivy credentials, right? Examine motives.

        Read the fucking annotation and while you’re at it, refer yourself to bullet #1.

        “try hardish,” “pontificating,” “pseuds” (WTF) “humble brag,” while bragging about the smartest and wealthiest families you know having three homes. Good riddance.

    This is a nice list. If I may add one piece of advice, “Optimism is vital. Always pack a swimsuit.”

        No he didn’t. He was offered a job but a non-compete clause made it so he couldn’t accept.

        Huh, good catch. Funny how much nonsense you can find on the internet. Still, he worked in-industry and is hilarious.

      So the manly thing to do is to share your negative opinion on an article you don’t care about?
