Four old guys
I am officially old, it seems. I’m walking back to the hotel after dinner with my remaining colleagues in Auburn on the last night of our sprint. It’s late, we’re tired from a week of hard work.

Clothes Discarded by H&M in Manhattan Are First... →
claytoncubitt: This is common practice for large retailers. When I was a (poor) child one of my early defining memories is of my mother attempting to retrieve a perfectly good discarded Big Wheel knock-off toy from a dumpster behind a large department store for her boys to play with, and being physically threatened, demeaned and chased off by an irate store manager, who then smashed the toy with...
