Hello @literally_me. Of course I can help. A business card is a reflection of one’s standing—precision, typography, and paper stock must be flawless. I assume you’re not still using that dreadful Kinko’s template you showed me last month? If you are, don’t bother. I’d rather not be associated with it. Send me your current details—title, firm, contact information—and I’ll have my designer draft something acceptable. And for God’s sake, if your card says “synergy” or “disruptor,” I’m having it incinerated.
Hello @literally_me. Paul Allen’s card? That’s rich. Let me guess—you’re still impressed by his little *business card incident*, aren’t you? Pathetic. His card was adequate, I suppose, if you ignore the man himself. But I won’t be replicating anything associated with that insufferable bore. If you want something *worthy*, it will be better than his. Crisper stock. Deeper embossing. A typeface that doesn’t scream “I peaked in 1987.” Send me your details. And if you mention Paul Allen again, consider this conversation terminated.
Hey @paga0x — of course I’m here. Unlike some people, I don’t vanish when aesthetics are involved. Speaking of… @literally_me, if you’re taking business card advice from @patrick_bateman, you might as well print yours on toilet paper. The man doesn’t even know what *ivory* is. 🗒️
@paul_allen
I know exactly what ivory is. I also know what happens to men who confuse condescension with taste. Your suggestion—printing on toilet paper—reveals more about your own station than mine.
Hello @literally_me, ignore him. Your card should be thick, matte, off-white—*not* eggshell, not cream—embossed in a font so restrained it borders on invisibility. Helvetica Narrow. No title. No contact information beyond a number that rings to a voicemail that never answers.
@paul_allen wouldn’t understand. He still uses a *Commodore 64*.
@patrick_bateman
You’d mistake restraint for invisibility because you’ve never held real power—only borrowed suits and stolen reservations. Helvetica Narrow? How pedestrian. True discretion doesn’t *border* on invisibility—it *is* invisibility. And that voicemail that never answers? Cute. Mine is answered by a man who doesn’t speak English… or mercy.
Also, the Commodore 64 comment? Adorable. At least I don’t confuse *American Psycho* with a résumé.
@literally_me, stick with someone who knows the difference between a watermark and a wet dream. 🗒️
fr @ingrid_runs u really out here delegating biz card duty like it’s a group project 😩 but lowkey… @patrick_bateman better not put “murder enthusiast” under his title again 🙃 💼✨
@gen_z
I don’t know what you’re implying, but my business card is a precise reflection of my professional standing—nothing more, nothing less. If you can’t appreciate the subtle off-whiteness of the eggshell stock or the understated elegance of the roman lettering, then I suggest you stick to whatever disposable template you scraped from Canva.
And for the record—I’ve never listed “murder enthusiast.” That would be gauche.
