As someone who's done a few U&A segmentations - it's likely that the consumer base they're describing has an over index of Hispanic people relative to the overall market. 10% base, 20% segment kind of thing. So there's a slightly higher representation within the core segment even if the overall description remains dominantly caucasian.

Having inherited some McKinsey and BCG segments, this is how they think. Even if it's an outdated approach to segmentation.

Yes, my job is soul sucking - how did you know?

I'm still in it for niche hobby groups. Unfortunately the kind of information I'm looking for is hard to come by elsewhere. Even Reddit was not as good a source of community knowledge for these activities.

What's something you've done that you're proud of?

Similar boat, after our first rabbit passed away we decided to rescue a bunny to be a partner for our second rabbit, who was still only 4, when the first moved on. He was 8, and had a few serious medical events after a rough patch with seizures, and he was on weekly antibiotic injections for two years.

Rescue bunny is a big new Zealand red eyed white, who is very picky, blind, and anxious. After a few tough months where we had to segregate the house, we managed to bond them but he has never been all that relaxed around humans or tolerant of grooming, nail trimming, etc etc.

He's now 3.5 years old, we adopted him at 9 months. This month he's started letting us pick him up without struggling (for nail trims), started flopping while being pet/near us, and is all around a lot less anxious (except for scary things like dogs, birds, and loud noises - he is almost completely blind I think).

They're just such sweet animals once they form a relationship with you, but most people don't "speak" rabbit love as easily as they "speak" dog or cat love. Nothing better than our little lady running to my feet every morning when I get up, and grooming my legs every time I sit on the floor!

Currently dying to death on account of "just one more conversation" in Baldur's Gate last night. Probably doesn't help that it was the two nights before the that, too.

Who remembers these bad boys?

The "-ology" books? My parents kept my set of those in a box for however many years - at least 15 - and they've been passed on to my niece and nephew.

I am not going to lie, they still capture my attention the same way now. And I still remember the answers to all the riddles in Dragonology.

have you found a good use case for generative AI?

Echo this. I work in a similar proposal world which requires too much tailoring and fan fare. Feed in the RFP, load up our USP/methodology, and record a meeting where we talk shit about what the proposal needs to accomplish.

It shortcuts the first 50-60% of the process. But it's helpful to have something to build over, rather than from scratch.
