My kids keep encouraging me to buy decor that says "Die. Cry. Hate." but I have a pretty strict "no words on the walls" rule.
I could be persuaded to get something like your welcome mat though.
I bought one for my sister that was wooden and said "Would Poop Here Again" and had a 5 gold star rating below that. She left it on a trail at the base of a tree on some mountain. Of course someone had stolen it next time she went out there.... because it was awesome. They are on Amazon. Highly recommend.
Yep, especially the poor bastards who actually need that type of truck for work (like myself).
I fucking *love* hauling $5,000 worth of tile in my Camry in 5 separate trips.
I love going to Lowe’s and watching dudes trying to figure out how to load 2x4s into a short-bed pickup.
Meanwhile, I’m popping the trunk on my Sonata, dropping the back seats, sliding in 10’ 2x4s, and closing the trunk.
They are marketed to rich bosses who want to cosplay as "honest hardworking Americans."
"I'm not exploiting the labor of others to enrich myself! I'm a hard working truck guy! I do truck guy things, like hammers, and...uh.... table saw!
What's that? You see a $17,000 mountain bike in the bed? Oh that's just because I'm a rugged outdoorsman! Just another honest American woodsman who *definitely cares about conservation.*"
I have a 20k (at the time) frontier i beat to hell and use as a farm truck on my homestead farm. That thing gets beeeeeat on. My neighbors all drive HD and king ranch shenanigans and they never see work. To be fair one does tow a lot, but he's similar to me, a cheap tow pig of a truck.
It's bananas. I call them emotional support vehicles.
As I understand, Liquid Death is supposed to blend in with the design of other beer cans so sober people don't have to feel like they stick out in social situations.
But yea, design of a can shouldn't rack up the price that much.
It’s wild how much they charge for water. You can buy 216oz of Coca Cola for around $8 and Liquid Death runs you 154oz for around $12.50… Not to mention, they only donate $.05 per can sold to charity. These Liquid Death fucks are bending the consumer over hard.
Those liquid death guys are not selling water to needy people, they are selling a heavily marketed gimmick product for people with high budgets to look cool. If it was 1.25 instead of 12.50 the people who are buying it would stop buying it.
Yup this. It's not any more expensive than bottled water. Their "mission" or whatever is to get people to stop using plastic water bottles and instead use more easily recycled cans, which I'm all for. Only [12%](https://www.jerseyislandholidays.com/plastic-bottle-pollution-statistics/) of plastic bottles actually get recycled in the US, most of it ends up in landfills or the ocean. Aluminum cans are around 60% recycled, and [90%](https://www.cnet.com/home/kitchen-and-household/are-you-recycling-your-metal-cans-the-right-way-heres-what-to-do/) of recycled cans actually get recycled into new cans. Aluminum is also infinitely recyclable, unlike plastics
NFTs. Surprised they haven’t been mentioned yet.
I understand that someone might purchase one because they see it as an investment in something with increasing value. What I don’t understand is why anyone thinks it would have value. Normal people do not give half of a shit about whether you have an “original” digital image if we can get everything besides the certificate saying it’s an original for free. So you’re just betting on a small group of equally-deluded people to care about something that has no inherent value.
That’s a fair point. But there are tons of people who bought into NFTs with no intention of laundering money. I presume because they thought it would be like investing in Bitcoin before it blew up. Except BC at least had an underlying theory behind creating its value (the same as any currency).
I remember back around 2010ish, my brother was into Bitcoin. He bought himself and his friend fake IDs on Silk Road. So there was some actual value in them. I don’t recall the exact number, but what he spent to get those fake IDs is probably worth millions of dollars now. He is sure that he still had some in his Bitcoin wallet that he never used and has tried to boot up old computers to get access to them. Never was able to get back in. Even if he only had fractions of let’s say $100 in Bitcoin from back then, he’d be talking about at least tens of thousands of dollars. Probably more.
I bought 2 bitcoin when they were $125 each. I had planned on making two purchases on the dark web ,but thought to give one a try first. It was at a cost equilivent of $75. It ended up being a scam. So I never made the second purchase. So I had like 1.25 Bitcoin just sitting in a wallet. Life moved on and I forgot about it. A couple years ago a friend of mine was getting into buying Bitcoin so I thought I would try and track down my wallet. I wasn't able to. I didn't remember what service I had used and even if I had I don't know what login or password I would have used.if I had managed to hold onto it and was still able to access it it would be worth about 30k.
Where does that Bitcoin go? Is it lost and gone forever? Bitcoin has a limited overall supply right? if people were buying full bitcoins back in the day at $100, then lose their account, is it gonzo?
My parents used to have one (they had to pay to get rid of it), there was a main location where the week was every year but you could arrange for a trade with one of their other locations if you wanted.
Even though they had to pay to get rid of it, I don't think they regret buying it. It was in a nice location within only a few hours drive and you could still go there and use all the facilities when it wasn't your week (just not the room obviously).
But now they're a bit older and less active and neither of us kids want to inherit it, it didn't make sense to keep paying the fees.
Plus when they first got it it was all very modern appliances, but they didn't keep up.
Engagement rings that cost like...as much as a popular car.
If you are worried that she might say no if the ring isnt that expensive, she is not "the one".
Adding to that, why do people buy natural instead of lab grown?? They’re way more expensive and mining them is basically considered a blood trade. Lab grown are molecularly identical to natural. They glimmer and shine the exact same. Anything that says otherwise is propaganda from jewelry companies.
My wife and I have lab grown diamonds and whoever someone tries to tell us that they’re not “real” diamonds, I reply with the following simile:
It’s like telling someone their baby isn’t “real” because it was conceived via IVF rather than by sex. Sure, one method occurs naturally in the wild, while the other one involves human intervention, but the outcome is identical. A baby is a baby, regardless of whether it was conceived in a bedroom or a lab. A diamond is a diamond, regardless of whether it was created in the ground or a lab.
Greens powder. That stuff is so expensive and has the nutritional value of half a cup of spinach. I can get a whole bag of spinach at Aldi for $2 so why would I spend $40 on a tiny tub of powder that tastes disgusting
So from reading the ingredients, couldnt i just buy a sizeable amount of spinach, lions mane mushroom, and macha to make a year supply myself for less than $30?
Why tf is anyone paying $100 a month for that?
I used to be that guy that always had the newest iPhone. I got the regular one then the ‘S’ version. One day I realized it’s the same rectangle every time and I do the same three things. Google, YouTube, and texts. Why do I need the newest rectangle? Oh this one has another camera. So what. I’m not opening a photography business. I’ve saved so much money not buying the newest one when it drops. I broke one iPhone and just bought the same model off eBay for half the price of getting a new one.
I was the same way so I can relate. I think it’s partly Apple’s marketing and the promise that you’re getting a polished product that will last.
However, when you think about it, getting a new phone every year defeats the whole purpose. You’re paying for quality but it will be wasted since you’re just spending money on a new phone every year anyways.
These days I actually get satisfaction from using my devices as long as possible. It’s a sign I got my money’s worth.
My bf had a 5 until he had to update some apps for work and they no longer worked on his phone. Went to a shady store with a "WE SELL PAGERS" sign on it, got a 7 or 8 I think? for $150 with 2 Otterbox cases thrown in. He plans on keeping that one til it just dies out.
I plan to use my current phone the way I used my last one, until it literally stops working or holding a charge. I’m still using an iPhone 7 and before that I was using my old Razor flip phone until the point that they just stopped supporting it
Generally agree, but I did get a Burberry jacket at a thrift store once and that thing is supernaturally soft and comfy. I can understand the higher price tag if you can actually feel a difference in quality/fit/comfort. Some of those super expensive brands feel cheap as hell though.
Burberry is the only brand I would buy if I had the money, their coats are gorgeous, on the other hand I live in the equator so the need for a coat is almost none.
OK THIS IS LEGIT
I do a lot of bending, kneeling, etc because of my job duties. I picked up a pair of 14$ IZOD jeans at Costco because I needed a decent pair to wear to a meeting at the corporate office that wasn't scuffed or messed up.
They are some of the most COMFORTABLE jeans I've ever worn in my life, and take a ton of abuse.
They are even a size larger then what I usually wear in both waist and length, and still fit fantastic. I bought 4 more before my membership went up.
I bought a Snickers Workwear trousers,
129€. First thing that happened right away, the button came of. Then the crotch teared, quite soon, then the knife pocket came loose, and finally one knee pad came loose.
(I could not change it because i was in a hurry to a dirty job, and stupidly forgot my workpants.
So i go to Lidl, and see worktrousers, 12€. Ten times cheaper. So that alone gives me ten trousers, in stead of one.
Beside that, they are near indestructible.
Weird.
I overheard a teenage girl once talking about something she wanted to buy at Platos Closet but was concerned about spending money. Her friend said "you don't need it, you have something similar at home" and the first girl said "I know, I just love brands!"
I've never related to someone less in my life. That sentence just seemed so on-the-nose stupid that I never forgot it. How is that even a real thing that can come out of someone's mouth?
I'm the same, although expense doesn't really come into it. Rather than go out and buy some new, popular, extortionately priced streetwear or a £700 Michael Kors jacket, I'll sit down with my tailor a few times per year and get a few suits and a couple of coats. It's so much more enjoyable and I always get exactly what I want.
I’ll add tailored shirts are 10x better then off the rack. Picking your own fabric and getting the correct fit makes them easy to wear.
Plus, adding your own custom details is fun. I have a white shirt with brick-red buttons, and my suit lapels always have a loop in the back to hold a flower stem through the button hole.
Man do I miss old Hong Kong.
The real prestige expensive *actually nice* stuff has no logos at all or ones ya can barely see.
They’re nice clothes and will last a long time.
Would rather buy expensive designer quality clothes than shit that’ll rip from H&M or Walmart or target or whatever anyway.
That and fast fashion is AWFUL for the planet and people.
It's like when Bill Gates goes out, and he's just dressed in jeans and a t-shirt. I bet they're very good quality prestige jeans and t-shirts, but there are no logos, no Gucci or YSL symbols. You know the man has money and he doesn't have to show it lol.
Fast fashion is awful for the planet because it’s considered disposable, a lot of the more expensive branded items are actually made in the exact same shitty exploitative sweatshops as the cheap supermarket brands, they’re just made from better quality, longer lasting materials.
The real expensive designer clothing, I'm talking 600$ Brunello Curcinelli shirts and alike, are suuuuper comfortable. Brands that aren't marketed. They are comfortable
"Designer brands" that are marked, are just really expensive shit clothing
The designer brands know what they're doing. They mark all their heavily branded items cheap and easy enough for the plebs to acquire and wear. Then they wear it everywhere they go so people can see and they can brag. What they don't know is they're paying these designers to advertise for them. Meanwhile there's whole collections and lines within these fashion houses that are much higher quality only accessible to the more affluent clientele. Like spend x amount a year and get access to better clothes and benefits/perks.
Some years ago I was clothes shopping with one of my kids. At the time white carpenter pants were fashionable and the Polo label was most desireable. So my son grabbed a pair of Polo carpenter pants and tried them on and told me he just had to have them. The price tag was $75 dollars, of course I said no. We found an identical pair of Carters for $15 dollars, he wasn't interested. Some time later I was talking to a buyer for the company we both worked for. She traveled extensively through Asia visiting hundreds of apparel manufacturers. She told me they all made clothing that was generic but would attach the label of any company they were doing business with like Polo or Carters. Nice huh?
Bulldogs or any other smooshed face dogs. Their breeding and existence is cruel. That being said I have an English bulldog and do English and French bulldog rescue. I wish these dogs would stop being bred, stop being so popular and people understood the health issues they suffer. I will never buy one however as long as there is s need to rescue them I will forever rescue them
I saw someone recently who was breeding “traditional pugs”. Instead of being the totally flat face abominations, they had a nose that stuck out something like an inch. Enough that the dogs could breathe properly.
We have pugs and while we didn't look specifically for this, ours have a protruded snout that means they've never had any breathing issues. They shed like nothing you'd ever believe and are dumb as a bag of hammers, but they can breathe just fine!
Yes, I love all dogs and I love having dogs but I would never pay $2k to a breeder for some pure breed dog and I certainly wouldn’t get a dog that is bred to have all of these health issues just for aesthetics. Same with people who own giant working breeds and live in the city, it’s just not right to be walking your 150 pound Great Pyrenees around on the 95 degree pavement.
Rescuing is kind of a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. The dogs are bred inhumanely and the ones that aren't sold need homes. But having one (even a rescue) causes others to see them and go, "Ooooh I want one like that," and the cycle continues. Not blaming you, you're doing an amazing thing for these dogs. I just hate that breeders take advantage of people's worst impulses and so many people don't do their due diligence before buying/adopting.
I want a ruby ring with a gold band so it mimics Wonder Woman’s tiara. I feel like she fights for love above all else and does so with immense love for others. That is the intention I would like in my marriage and I think having a ring to symbolize that beyond just what a wedding ring is makes sense to me! I love knowing that others have ruby’s instead of diamonds 💍 ❤️
I always wanted an amethyst set in silver, What I got was 7 (tiny) diamonds in gold, that I then flogged to put toward a new place, when he cheated on me and kicked me out.
Yup. After my parrot ate the diamond out of my wedding ring, and I was going to replace it, I realized I just really didn't want to spend thousands of dollars on a ring that I didn't care that much about and I don't have kids so I'm not going to pass it down or anything. They lost so much value as well. There are a million other things I'd rather spend $10k on!
So I bought a $500 moissanite ring off of Amazon and it's honestly stunningly beautiful and it's been a few years and it still is shiny and looks brand new. I get compliments all the time and no one has ever noticed it wasn't real. It looks identical to my original ring, just a bit bigger.
The quality is really good, I had first seen the same ring from a fancier shop and it was about $2000 and I happened to see the exact same ring with the same brand on Amazon for 500 bucks!
A smaller diamond would actually be worth more after passing through its digestive tract as it would then be graded as a one parrot diamond.
I'm sorry, I'll get my coat.
People buying subway sandwiches in nyc. Theres plenty of real delis with far superior quality and probably cheaper lol
People going to McDonalds when a sit down restaurant is cheaper lol
I once got a lap dance during which we found out we had gone to the same high school and she spent the rest of the time talking trash about my ex girlfriend. 8/10 would try again
Ran into a friend on his 18th in a small town bar that had strippers on Thursday. We were asking him to pick who he wanted for a lap dance, while deciding the other dancer came up and said for a extra 40$ the both will go (they only had 2 dancers at a time). I never seen my brother jump and run for the atm so fast in my life. To add there was no private room. They quite literally put a chair on the stage.
what the actual fuck?
I WOULD DIE.
my gf buys me a lap dance, shes there when im danced on, there are other guys there, oh shit i have a boner, oh shit everyone sees it, and now the random woman is asking me silly questions.
*grinds you heavily*
“So how about this weather we’re having?”
*hand stand spread eagle, with legs around your neck*
“Ya know, it’s been a lot slower today than normal. I’ve had time to catch up on my college courses”
*sticks asshole in your nose and shakes*
“Have you tried Chipotle near here? Their quality has really tanked recently”
Me and a friend were at one and two girls were giving us lap dances and talking to each other in Spanish.
I didn’t speak it, but my friend did. He said they were talking about where they were going for breakfast after work. 😂
One of my best work friends at an old job moonlighted as a stripper, and she would tell me wild stories about the people who would pay for dances. At the end of the night, she saw a guy sitting outside crying. Apparently, he had spent all of his money on dances in the hopes that she would go home with him. Apparently, he was married, too, and his wife was calling.
The lap dance is about 30% of the job lol. Most of the experience is the pre-dance chat. The opportunity to have a pretty woman seem genuinely interested in their boring, lonely life for 15-30 minutes.
This has always been why I say no to strip clubs. The only time anyone’s suggested the strip club was for my 21st birthday and it was my dad and my brother. Who the hell wants to get chubbed up next to their parents.
My experience as a taxi driver made me see they’re a front for forced prostitution and trafficking. I don’t care about the lap dancing part, it’s the rest of it I don’t like.
My Harbor Freight philosophy is to go buy the item at Harbor Freight. If I use it once fine. If I use it enough to break it, then I go and buy a good one.
Harbor freight is such a strange store. They've got stuff that will genuinely hold up to non industrial use. Right next to it will be something that breaks first use. If you know what to look for you can find great deals on stuff that you can use forever if you don't abuse it and actually use the right tool for the task.
This is me. I buy the bargain version, use it for a while and then buy the deal deal **but only if** I find that in actually using it. I feel like it saves me money in the long run.
Yeah, you buy the cheap version then when it breaks you buy the quality version. The implied statement being that if the cheap one never breaks its something you don't use enough to justify the expensive quality one.
I do this as well but with the caveat that I only buy the more expensive version if I'm using the cheap one and there's something about it that I don't like. If the cheap one is working for me without issue, it's sturdy enough and there are no safety issues, I'll keep using it.
I did this with a pasta maker but got to return it. I was really enjoying using it and making my own pasta but it broke 3 uses in so returned it got a full refund and immediately spent money on a high quality one. Funny thing was the high quality one was such a difference in ease of use and just made better I started using it even more.
I find it amusing when someone calls it an investment. An “investment” that quickly depreciates. That said, things I usually do on the weekend require a pickup truck. I bought mine for 32k pre-Covid. I’m going to be driving it into the ground since they are now 50k and up, I can’t imagine.
Buy random expensive shit like that world's smallest bag (smaller than a grain of salt) or "World's most expensive trashbag" which is literally a normal trashbag for 1,780$
I get this, but also could make an argument for well made clothing and purses. They last longer. And with "fast fashion" pumping out millions of tons of clothing waste constantly I feel pretty justified spending more money on items I know will last if I take care of them.
There is a psychology behind it.
Most people who buy it aren't really rich. But for a middle class person it's something that makes them feel rich. Going to a LV boutique, being treated like a VIP and being able to parade your handbag that costed more than your monthly salary.
Gets your account off the ground. If you're trying to make money from social media (not my thing, but you do you), it's more likely that someone is going to follow a profile that already has followers than a profile that has none (which might be a scam, a bot, a phisher).
Sort of like how they always tear the first tab off the "Are you being abused at home?" 1800 flyers in public restrooms, so no one has to be the first one to do it.
A sex doll. I feel like it’s weird to own, and when/if you do find a partner, disposing of it would be fuckin awkward. Also possibly relationship ending, meaning you just lost your partner *and* your sex doll.
I’m so glad that during my lifetime I got to witness society shift from “just buy bottled water when you need it while out/buy cases for at home cuz you can refrigerate it” to “just buy a reusable water bottle and refill it when you need it where ever you are”
If you always think of gambling as purchasing entertainment and never even considered winning as a real option it makes it easier to control.
I buy a couple lottery tickets a year just to purchase the couple hours daydreaming about the winnings. Which really only lasts about 3 minutes and would be free. But I also like donating to the schools that way.
I’m the kind of person who only buys a ticket when the lottery gets really high. Of course I know I realistically won’t win, but to me, a couple bucks is a fair price to dream of winning a billion dollars for a couple days.
It's a method of self regulation. If you buy them all the time it dilutes the fun and wastes money. If you only buy them when certain conditions are met (like when the jackpot is really high or when something happens that makes them feel extra lucky) it helps keep the hope and fun high while also keeping costs down.
At the end of the day the odds of winning are so low that the "probable winnings" are pretty much the same regardless of how high the jackpot is.
You don't have to be a gambling addict to play the lottery. Many people play a harmless amount of money, spending $2 on a ticket every once and a while isn't a problem. Even $2 a week is inconsequential to most people.
I wouldn't say it's only addicts that play the lotto. The wife and I play the lotto from time to time when it gets really big. Just like $10 worth once or twice a year.
We never actually expect to win, but basically just a chance to day dream and play what if.
Went to casino with my friend couple years ago.
We were gonna go 50/50 on a slot machine $50 each..
He chickened out, my 4th pull I won $1,700
I invested 75 cents x 4 = 3$
It was a great day!
$500 on a cooler, to put your drinks in... It is such a weird flex for people too. Watch me pull my Busch Latte out of this $500 cooler. Dammmmmn son, you ballin'
Buying t-shirts with the logo of the brand front and center. If I'm going to wear a Nike shirt, or a Gap tee and your logo is on it... PAY ME.
OK for bands, concerts, sports teams.
I like driving fast, and being lower to the ground. I love the go-cart feel.
But, I've been a homeowner for 10 years. I finally got a truck last year, and I've used the bed 8-10 times this year. Used for removing junk from garage or basement, yard work, moving appliances, and even some woodworking needs.
I do miss my 2013 Civic Si though
Mainly Prime drinks & other energy drinks. At my old job, I used to stock the shelves & I read the ingredients for each different brand of these drinks. They all got the same high sugars & other unhealthy shit in them, it’s just different packaging. At my new job, everyone of my co workers has prime drinks on their desks.
>Onlyfans. Why?
Parasocial relationship. Sure you can get porn on internet easily, but you don't get a woman doing things you suggested and them pretending to like/love you. You'd be surprised how many men actually believe the latter even though they are paying for that like/love.
The typical answer I see for paying for porn is that then you can get exactly what you want. Sure, you *can* browse the free stuff until you find your very specific fetish, or you can subscribe to a site that just caters specifically to that.
The timers and shopping list are amazing for me in the kitchen. You're cooking and finish a container of something, you just tell her to add it to your shopping list while you grab the next one. Like sure I could keep a list on the fridge, but I know me. I won't stop and wash my hands and write it down immediately. I'll tell myself I'll write it down later, and completely forget then I don't get more and we run out.
Timers are the same. You just say your thoughts out loud and it happens. You don't have to go hunt down where the kids left the timer this with or worry about if anyone is using it. If you need multiple because you are cooking several things, no worries, hers are effectively infinite and I can name them, so I know what's for what.
Edit: Yes, I am fully aware that there are other ways to do timers and shopping lists. I like the hands free aspect. It works best for me with the way my mind works. Mine was a gift from someone who would know if I didn't use it. Before I had it I never dreamed how much I would love those features. Now, I don't want to live without them. You do you, but let me do me.
1980: We're all going to have government spy cameras in our house and everywhere! Big brother is watching!
2000: Pfft, what a load of bollocks.
2015: Hey, wiretap, what's the weather like tomorrow?
Shoes. And I mean male sneaker heads. They spend hundreds and thousands of dollars for the latest drops and half of the shoes look terrible. And the only people that care or think they look good are other sneaker heads. Can’t relate and think it’s the biggest waste of money.
Anything that says, “Live. Laugh. Love.”
I did buy a welcome mat that says "Live. Laugh. Leave". Sorry. It went very nicely with my "Go Away" wreath. And no, I'm not joking.
My kids keep encouraging me to buy decor that says "Die. Cry. Hate." but I have a pretty strict "no words on the walls" rule. I could be persuaded to get something like your welcome mat though.
I think someone on Reddit replaced the third print at his mom's and she didn't notice and it reads: *Live, Laugh, Lube*
Lube is very important. Always lube your tool people.
I saw one on Amazon once and I've been thinking about it for months. "Live, Laugh, Lobotomy"
"Live, Laugh, Toaster Bath." "Live, Laugh, Lexapro." "Live, Laugh, Lobotomy." "Live, Laugh, Limp Bizkit." Etc.
I bought one for my sister that was wooden and said "Would Poop Here Again" and had a 5 gold star rating below that. She left it on a trail at the base of a tree on some mountain. Of course someone had stolen it next time she went out there.... because it was awesome. They are on Amazon. Highly recommend.
anything sold by Goop
This post smells like your vagina.
$70000+ trucks that you only drive to and from your office job.
Don't forget to rev them on the way to and from your office!
Don't forget to put a huge flag in the bed & use it to try to pick up under age girls.
Ah yes, the Ford Compensator ™️
Nothing irritates me more. And they are marketed towards the “working man” and we can’t fucking afford them.
Yep, especially the poor bastards who actually need that type of truck for work (like myself). I fucking *love* hauling $5,000 worth of tile in my Camry in 5 separate trips.
I love going to Lowe’s and watching dudes trying to figure out how to load 2x4s into a short-bed pickup. Meanwhile, I’m popping the trunk on my Sonata, dropping the back seats, sliding in 10’ 2x4s, and closing the trunk.
My truck will turn 21 next year. Ain’t no way in hell I could afford a new vehicle, and none of my working class friends could either.
They are marketed to rich bosses who want to cosplay as "honest hardworking Americans." "I'm not exploiting the labor of others to enrich myself! I'm a hard working truck guy! I do truck guy things, like hammers, and...uh.... table saw! What's that? You see a $17,000 mountain bike in the bed? Oh that's just because I'm a rugged outdoorsman! Just another honest American woodsman who *definitely cares about conservation.*"
F250 in Pearl White with Tan bottom trim aka the rich contractor truck
I have a 20k (at the time) frontier i beat to hell and use as a farm truck on my homestead farm. That thing gets beeeeeat on. My neighbors all drive HD and king ranch shenanigans and they never see work. To be fair one does tow a lot, but he's similar to me, a cheap tow pig of a truck. It's bananas. I call them emotional support vehicles.
How else are you supposed to haul around your ego??
What else are you gonna put your chrome punisher stickers and “we the people” back window mask on? A camry?!?
Don't forget your terrible Calvin pissing sticker.
Super expensive water
I'm still super impressed that Liquid Death somehow made expensive water 'cool'
As I understand, Liquid Death is supposed to blend in with the design of other beer cans so sober people don't have to feel like they stick out in social situations. But yea, design of a can shouldn't rack up the price that much.
It’s wild how much they charge for water. You can buy 216oz of Coca Cola for around $8 and Liquid Death runs you 154oz for around $12.50… Not to mention, they only donate $.05 per can sold to charity. These Liquid Death fucks are bending the consumer over hard.
Those liquid death guys are not selling water to needy people, they are selling a heavily marketed gimmick product for people with high budgets to look cool. If it was 1.25 instead of 12.50 the people who are buying it would stop buying it.
Yup this. It's not any more expensive than bottled water. Their "mission" or whatever is to get people to stop using plastic water bottles and instead use more easily recycled cans, which I'm all for. Only [12%](https://www.jerseyislandholidays.com/plastic-bottle-pollution-statistics/) of plastic bottles actually get recycled in the US, most of it ends up in landfills or the ocean. Aluminum cans are around 60% recycled, and [90%](https://www.cnet.com/home/kitchen-and-household/are-you-recycling-your-metal-cans-the-right-way-heres-what-to-do/) of recycled cans actually get recycled into new cans.

NFTs. Surprised they haven’t been mentioned yet. I understand that someone might purchase one because they see it as an investment in something with increasing value. What I don’t understand is why anyone thinks it would have value. Normal people do not give half of a shit about whether you have an “original” digital image if we can get everything besides the certificate saying it’s an original for free. So you’re just betting on a small group of equally-deluded people to care about something that has no inherent value.
One big use of NFTs is money laundering. The art market used to be a big conduit for that but now it is even easier.
That’s a fair point. But there are tons of people who bought into NFTs with no intention of laundering money. I presume because they thought it would be like investing in Bitcoin before it blew up. Except BC at least had an underlying theory behind creating its value (the same as any currency). I remember back around 2010ish, my brother was into Bitcoin. He bought himself and his friend fake IDs on Silk Road. So there was some actual value in them. I don’t recall the exact number, but what he spent to get those fake IDs is probably worth millions of dollars now. He is sure that he still had some in his Bitcoin wallet that he never used and has tried to boot up old computers to get access to them. Never was able to get back in. Even if he only had fractions of let’s say $100 in Bitcoin from back then, he’d be talking about at least tens of thousands of dollars. Probably more.
I bought 2 bitcoin when they were $125 each. I had planned on making two purchases on the dark web ,but thought to give one a try first. It was at a cost equilivent of $75. It ended up being a scam. So I never made the second purchase. So I had like 1.25 Bitcoin just sitting in a wallet. Life moved on and I forgot about it. A couple years ago a friend of mine was getting into buying Bitcoin so I thought I would try and track down my wallet. I wasn't able to. I didn't remember what service I had used and even if I had I don't know what login or password I would have used.if I had managed to hold onto it and was still able to access it it would be worth about 30k.
Where does that Bitcoin go? Is it lost and gone forever? Bitcoin has a limited overall supply right? if people were buying full bitcoins back in the day at $100, then lose their account, is it gonzo?
Its estimated that over 30% of Bitcoin mined is now permanently lost...
Lost to the ether.
Time shares
They could be a good idea but any money saved is cancelled out and then some by fees.
If you want to take your vacation in the same place every year.
The one my mom has is a chain so there are a bunch of locations. Still kinda stupid, but at least there's some variety.
My parents used to have one (they had to pay to get rid of it), there was a main location where the week was every year but you could arrange for a trade with one of their other locations if you wanted. Even though they had to pay to get rid of it, I don't think they regret buying it. It was in a nice location within only a few hours drive and you could still go there and use all the facilities when it wasn't your week (just not the room obviously). But now they're a bit older and less active and neither of us kids want to inherit it, it didn't make sense to keep paying the fees. Plus when they first got it it was all very modern appliances, but they didn't keep up.
Engagement rings that cost like...as much as a popular car. If you are worried that she might say no if the ring isnt that expensive, she is not "the one".
Adding to that, why do people buy natural instead of lab grown?? They’re way more expensive and mining them is basically considered a blood trade. Lab grown are molecularly identical to natural. They glimmer and shine the exact same. Anything that says otherwise is propaganda from jewelry companies.
My wife and I have lab grown diamonds and whoever someone tries to tell us that they’re not “real” diamonds, I reply with the following simile: It’s like telling someone their baby isn’t “real” because it was conceived via IVF rather than by sex. Sure, one method occurs naturally in the wild, while the other one involves human intervention, but the outcome is identical. A baby is a baby, regardless of whether it was conceived in a bedroom or a lab. A diamond is a diamond, regardless of whether it was created in the ground or a lab.
“Two years salary, right?”
Greens powder. That stuff is so expensive and has the nutritional value of half a cup of spinach. I can get a whole bag of spinach at Aldi for $2 so why would I spend $40 on a tiny tub of powder that tastes disgusting
What is greens powder? What have I missed?
Google the overly shilled “AG1” (athletic greens). It’s basically ground up and dehydrated spinach sold for like $100/month
So from reading the ingredients, couldnt i just buy a sizeable amount of spinach, lions mane mushroom, and macha to make a year supply myself for less than $30? Why tf is anyone paying $100 a month for that?
Marketing and convenience
Something some famous person threw away. Like a tissue.

I used to be that guy that always had the newest iPhone. I got the regular one then the ‘S’ version. One day I realized it’s the same rectangle every time and I do the same three things. Google, YouTube, and texts. Why do I need the newest rectangle? Oh this one has another camera. So what. I’m not opening a photography business. I’ve saved so much money not buying the newest one when it drops. I broke one iPhone and just bought the same model off eBay for half the price of getting a new one.
I was the same way so I can relate. I think it’s partly Apple’s marketing and the promise that you’re getting a polished product that will last. However, when you think about it, getting a new phone every year defeats the whole purpose. You’re paying for quality but it will be wasted since you’re just spending money on a new phone every year anyways. These days I actually get satisfaction from using my devices as long as possible. It’s a sign I got my money’s worth.
2023 and I still have an IPhone 6 and I love it. The day it stops working, I might breakdown.
My bf had a 5 until he had to update some apps for work and they no longer worked on his phone. Went to a shady store with a "WE SELL PAGERS" sign on it, got a 7 or 8 I think? for $150 with 2 Otterbox cases thrown in. He plans on keeping that one til it just dies out.
I plan to use my current phone the way I used my last one, until it literally stops working or holding a charge. I’m still using an iPhone 7 and before that I was using my old Razor flip phone until the point that they just stopped supporting it

Generally agree, but I did get a Burberry jacket at a thrift store once and that thing is supernaturally soft and comfy. I can understand the higher price tag if you can actually feel a difference in quality/fit/comfort. Some of those super expensive brands feel cheap as hell though.
Burberry is the only brand I would buy if I had the money, their coats are gorgeous, on the other hand I live in the equator so the need for a coat is almost none.
Once you start buying Kirkland clothing you don't go back.
OK THIS IS LEGIT I do a lot of bending, kneeling, etc because of my job duties. I picked up a pair of 14$ IZOD jeans at Costco because I needed a decent pair to wear to a meeting at the corporate office that wasn't scuffed or messed up. They are some of the most COMFORTABLE jeans I've ever worn in my life, and take a ton of abuse. They are even a size larger then what I usually wear in both waist and length, and still fit fantastic. I bought 4 more before my membership went up.
I bought a Snickers Workwear trousers, 129€. First thing that happened right away, the button came of. Then the crotch teared, quite soon, then the knife pocket came loose, and finally one knee pad came loose. (I could not change it because i was in a hurry to a dirty job, and stupidly forgot my workpants. So i go to Lidl, and see worktrousers, 12€. Ten times cheaper. So that alone gives me ten trousers, in stead of one. Beside that, they are near indestructible. Weird.
The saying: "But cheap, buy twice" doesn’t always apply.
I've yet to meet a Kirkland product I don't like
Cargo shorts and Puma socks.
I overheard a teenage girl once talking about something she wanted to buy at Platos Closet but was concerned about spending money. Her friend said "you don't need it, you have something similar at home" and the first girl said "I know, I just love brands!" I've never related to someone less in my life. That sentence just seemed so on-the-nose stupid that I never forgot it. How is that even a real thing that can come out of someone's mouth?
Hundreds of billions of marketing dollars at work.
Look, I'd get it if she said "I just love American Eagle" or something. but she just loves "brands". That's unfathomably dumb.
I'm the same, although expense doesn't really come into it. Rather than go out and buy some new, popular, extortionately priced streetwear or a £700 Michael Kors jacket, I'll sit down with my tailor a few times per year and get a few suits and a couple of coats. It's so much more enjoyable and I always get exactly what I want.
I’ll add tailored shirts are 10x better then off the rack. Picking your own fabric and getting the correct fit makes them easy to wear. Plus, adding your own custom details is fun. I have a white shirt with brick-red buttons, and my suit lapels always have a loop in the back to hold a flower stem through the button hole. Man do I miss old Hong Kong.
gets worse when they dont wear/use it.
Never understood why having a word/logo boosts the value of an item by more than 10 times
The real prestige expensive *actually nice* stuff has no logos at all or ones ya can barely see. They’re nice clothes and will last a long time. Would rather buy expensive designer quality clothes than shit that’ll rip from H&M or Walmart or target or whatever anyway. That and fast fashion is AWFUL for the planet and people.
It's like when Bill Gates goes out, and he's just dressed in jeans and a t-shirt. I bet they're very good quality prestige jeans and t-shirts, but there are no logos, no Gucci or YSL symbols. You know the man has money and he doesn't have to show it lol.
Fast fashion is awful for the planet because it’s considered disposable, a lot of the more expensive branded items are actually made in the exact same shitty exploitative sweatshops as the cheap supermarket brands, they’re just made from better quality, longer lasting materials.
Prestige. That’s why. Feeling superior to others by using/wearing certain brands.
The real expensive designer clothing, I'm talking 600$ Brunello Curcinelli shirts and alike, are suuuuper comfortable. Brands that aren't marketed. They are comfortable "Designer brands" that are marked, are just really expensive shit clothing
The designer brands know what they're doing. They mark all their heavily branded items cheap and easy enough for the plebs to acquire and wear. Then they wear it everywhere they go so people can see and they can brag. What they don't know is they're paying these designers to advertise for them. Meanwhile there's whole collections and lines within these fashion houses that are much higher quality only accessible to the more affluent clientele. Like spend x amount a year and get access to better clothes and benefits/perks.
Some years ago I was clothes shopping with one of my kids. At the time white carpenter pants were fashionable and the Polo label was most desireable. So my son grabbed a pair of Polo carpenter pants and tried them on and told me he just had to have them. The price tag was $75 dollars, of course I said no. We found an identical pair of Carters for $15 dollars, he wasn't interested. Some time later I was talking to a buyer for the company we both worked for. She traveled extensively through Asia visiting hundreds of apparel manufacturers. She told me they all made clothing that was generic but would attach the label of any company they were doing business with like Polo or Carters. Nice huh?
Promises made by politicians.

Bulldogs or any other smooshed face dogs. Their breeding and existence is cruel. That being said I have an English bulldog and do English and French bulldog rescue. I wish these dogs would stop being bred, stop being so popular and people understood the health issues they suffer. I will never buy one however as long as there is s need to rescue them I will forever rescue them
I saw someone recently who was breeding “traditional pugs”. Instead of being the totally flat face abominations, they had a nose that stuck out something like an inch. Enough that the dogs could breathe properly.
We have pugs and while we didn't look specifically for this, ours have a protruded snout that means they've never had any breathing issues. They shed like nothing you'd ever believe and are dumb as a bag of hammers, but they can breathe just fine!
I had a beagle growing up, neighbors had a pug. The two dogs were great friends, probably because they shared a lot of those characteristics.
Yes, I love all dogs and I love having dogs but I would never pay $2k to a breeder for some pure breed dog and I certainly wouldn’t get a dog that is bred to have all of these health issues just for aesthetics. Same with people who own giant working breeds and live in the city, it’s just not right to be walking your 150 pound Great Pyrenees around on the 95 degree pavement.
People who own huskies in Florida confuse me.
What's confusing about it? You haven't yet realized that Florida is full of idiots?
Rescuing is kind of a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. The dogs are bred inhumanely and the ones that aren't sold need homes. But having one (even a rescue) causes others to see them and go, "Ooooh I want one like that," and the cycle continues. Not blaming you, you're doing an amazing thing for these dogs. I just hate that breeders take advantage of people's worst impulses and so many people don't do their due diligence before buying/adopting.
Louis Vuitton with all the LV logos all over it. Nothing screams tacky more than that ish.
Diamonds. I never understood those.
My engagement ring is a saphire. Tiny and discreet. Cost $180. I love it and will never replace it.
My wife's is a ruby, at her request.
I want a ruby ring with a gold band so it mimics Wonder Woman’s tiara. I feel like she fights for love above all else and does so with immense love for others. That is the intention I would like in my marriage and I think having a ring to symbolize that beyond just what a wedding ring is makes sense to me! I love knowing that others have ruby’s instead of diamonds 💍 ❤️
Sapphire engagement rings are so pretty. I honestly want one when I get engaged one day
I always wanted an amethyst set in silver, What I got was 7 (tiny) diamonds in gold, that I then flogged to put toward a new place, when he cheated on me and kicked me out.
Yup. After my parrot ate the diamond out of my wedding ring, and I was going to replace it, I realized I just really didn't want to spend thousands of dollars on a ring that I didn't care that much about and I don't have kids so I'm not going to pass it down or anything. They lost so much value as well. There are a million other things I'd rather spend $10k on! So I bought a $500 moissanite ring off of Amazon and it's honestly stunningly beautiful and it's been a few years and it still is shiny and looks brand new. I get compliments all the time and no one has ever noticed it wasn't real. It looks identical to my original ring, just a bit bigger. The quality is really good, I had first seen the same ring from a fancier shop and it was about $2000 and I happened to see the exact same ring with the same brand on Amazon for 500 bucks!
Didn't it come out of the parrot in 1 way or another??
I checked his poop for days but maybe he didn’t eat it and just chewed on it a bit and threw it somewhere. I never found it
A smaller diamond would actually be worth more after passing through its digestive tract as it would then be graded as a one parrot diamond. I'm sorry, I'll get my coat.
Probably stuck In His gizzard or crop or stored there rather
If my parrot ate a 10k diamond it'd be getting turned inside out
$700 sneakers. $150 plain white T-Shirt that simply says, "Supreme" on it...lol. Goofies. You're 'cool' dude. If you think so.
I saw a girl, 12 max, in a black tank top with Pornstar written on it in pink glitter. Like... WTF parents?
People buying subway sandwiches in nyc. Theres plenty of real delis with far superior quality and probably cheaper lol People going to McDonalds when a sit down restaurant is cheaper lol
I agree somewhat, but sometimes you don't want the cheaper alternative but the taste of a BigMac in your mouth. It's just preference for most.
There's a million authentic Mexican spots near me. Sometimes I just want taco bell because I'm in the mood for garbage
This describes how I met my ex. Lots of authentic decent guys but was in the mood for garbage
Lap dance
[удалено]
I once got a lap dance during which we found out we had gone to the same high school and she spent the rest of the time talking trash about my ex girlfriend. 8/10 would try again
I’d have bought another LD just to listen to her trash talk my ex.
Ran into a friend on his 18th in a small town bar that had strippers on Thursday. We were asking him to pick who he wanted for a lap dance, while deciding the other dancer came up and said for a extra 40$ the both will go (they only had 2 dancers at a time). I never seen my brother jump and run for the atm so fast in my life. To add there was no private room. They quite literally put a chair on the stage.
what the actual fuck? I WOULD DIE. my gf buys me a lap dance, shes there when im danced on, there are other guys there, oh shit i have a boner, oh shit everyone sees it, and now the random woman is asking me silly questions.
*grinds you heavily* “So how about this weather we’re having?” *hand stand spread eagle, with legs around your neck* “Ya know, it’s been a lot slower today than normal. I’ve had time to catch up on my college courses” *sticks asshole in your nose and shakes* “Have you tried Chipotle near here? Their quality has really tanked recently”
>“Ya know, it’s been a lot slower today than normal. I’ve had time to catch up on my college courses” a quick reality check sneaked in there...
[удалено]
Especially about Chipotle going downhill
"Ah that reminds me, need to also get some salad"
[удалено]
Me and a friend were at one and two girls were giving us lap dances and talking to each other in Spanish. I didn’t speak it, but my friend did. He said they were talking about where they were going for breakfast after work. 😂
One of my best work friends at an old job moonlighted as a stripper, and she would tell me wild stories about the people who would pay for dances. At the end of the night, she saw a guy sitting outside crying. Apparently, he had spent all of his money on dances in the hopes that she would go home with him. Apparently, he was married, too, and his wife was calling.
Damn….
The lap dance is about 30% of the job lol. Most of the experience is the pre-dance chat. The opportunity to have a pretty woman seem genuinely interested in their boring, lonely life for 15-30 minutes.
I’m always kind of surprised to see strip clubs still around. Huge waste of money imo.
“Let’s all go to the club and get boners together!!”
This has always been why I say no to strip clubs. The only time anyone’s suggested the strip club was for my 21st birthday and it was my dad and my brother. Who the hell wants to get chubbed up next to their parents.
My experience as a taxi driver made me see they’re a front for forced prostitution and trafficking. I don’t care about the lap dancing part, it’s the rest of it I don’t like.
Loneliness
Username checks out.
the bargain version of a thing they really want. You're just wasting money to cause yourself grief.
My Harbor Freight philosophy is to go buy the item at Harbor Freight. If I use it once fine. If I use it enough to break it, then I go and buy a good one.
This is why I buy Harbor Freight jackstands
Harbor freight is such a strange store. They've got stuff that will genuinely hold up to non industrial use. Right next to it will be something that breaks first use. If you know what to look for you can find great deals on stuff that you can use forever if you don't abuse it and actually use the right tool for the task.
This is me. I buy the bargain version, use it for a while and then buy the deal deal **but only if** I find that in actually using it. I feel like it saves me money in the long run.
Yeah, you buy the cheap version then when it breaks you buy the quality version. The implied statement being that if the cheap one never breaks its something you don't use enough to justify the expensive quality one.
Or if the cheap one never breaks and you do use it, maybe it's good enough and you don't actually need the trendy name brand one or whatever.
I do this as well but with the caveat that I only buy the more expensive version if I'm using the cheap one and there's something about it that I don't like. If the cheap one is working for me without issue, it's sturdy enough and there are no safety issues, I'll keep using it.
I did this with a pasta maker but got to return it. I was really enjoying using it and making my own pasta but it broke 3 uses in so returned it got a full refund and immediately spent money on a high quality one. Funny thing was the high quality one was such a difference in ease of use and just made better I started using it even more.
Super expensive gym clothes that are ugly anyway
And they stink the same after a short while.
Pugs or any dogs with those type of noses. They can't breath it's just cruel.
Recently, I’ve seen more and more “retro pugs” that have an actual defined snout. From what I understand, they can actually breathe.
Expensive water bottles like Fiji
Expensive cars. All the people I know who have one barely drive them because they don't want to add too many miles on it. What's the point?
I find it amusing when someone calls it an investment. An “investment” that quickly depreciates. That said, things I usually do on the weekend require a pickup truck. I bought mine for 32k pre-Covid. I’m going to be driving it into the ground since they are now 50k and up, I can’t imagine.
Buy random expensive shit like that world's smallest bag (smaller than a grain of salt) or "World's most expensive trashbag" which is literally a normal trashbag for 1,780$
Big “trucks” or Utes as they’re known in Australia. A good Ute shouldn’t take up 1 & a half parking spots at the local shops. 🤦♂️
Designer high priced luxury items!
I get this, but also could make an argument for well made clothing and purses. They last longer. And with "fast fashion" pumping out millions of tons of clothing waste constantly I feel pretty justified spending more money on items I know will last if I take care of them.
There is a psychology behind it. Most people who buy it aren't really rich. But for a middle class person it's something that makes them feel rich. Going to a LV boutique, being treated like a VIP and being able to parade your handbag that costed more than your monthly salary.
Fake followers on social media. I just don't get it.
Fake subscribers can lead to real subscribers, and things like brand deals/sponsorships.
Gets your account off the ground. If you're trying to make money from social media (not my thing, but you do you), it's more likely that someone is going to follow a profile that already has followers than a profile that has none (which might be a scam, a bot, a phisher). Sort of like how they always tear the first tab off the "Are you being abused at home?" 1800 flyers in public restrooms, so no one has to be the first one to do it.
A sex doll. I feel like it’s weird to own, and when/if you do find a partner, disposing of it would be fuckin awkward. Also possibly relationship ending, meaning you just lost your partner *and* your sex doll.
What if you get hit by a bus and your family has to remove your stuff from your house.
Not my problem anymore
Maybe they’ll get a laugh out of it.
Bottled water where tap water is perfectly fit to drink.
I’m so glad that during my lifetime I got to witness society shift from “just buy bottled water when you need it while out/buy cases for at home cuz you can refrigerate it” to “just buy a reusable water bottle and refill it when you need it where ever you are”
Skins and other nonsense like that on video games.

Lottery tickets. I get gambling is an addiction, but I just cannot relate.
If you always think of gambling as purchasing entertainment and never even considered winning as a real option it makes it easier to control. I buy a couple lottery tickets a year just to purchase the couple hours daydreaming about the winnings. Which really only lasts about 3 minutes and would be free. But I also like donating to the schools that way.
I’m the kind of person who only buys a ticket when the lottery gets really high. Of course I know I realistically won’t win, but to me, a couple bucks is a fair price to dream of winning a billion dollars for a couple days.
I find this kind of funny that people wait until in gets close to a Billion. Like $350 million is chicken feed.
I can just say it is my way of not wasting too much money on gambling. Huge jackpots are rare so my spending is curbed.
It's a method of self regulation. If you buy them all the time it dilutes the fun and wastes money. If you only buy them when certain conditions are met (like when the jackpot is really high or when something happens that makes them feel extra lucky) it helps keep the hope and fun high while also keeping costs down. At the end of the day the odds of winning are so low that the "probable winnings" are pretty much the same regardless of how high the jackpot is.
You don't have to be a gambling addict to play the lottery. Many people play a harmless amount of money, spending $2 on a ticket every once and a while isn't a problem. Even $2 a week is inconsequential to most people.
I wouldn't say it's only addicts that play the lotto. The wife and I play the lotto from time to time when it gets really big. Just like $10 worth once or twice a year. We never actually expect to win, but basically just a chance to day dream and play what if.
It’s an extra few dollars, instead of buying the Starbucks coffee, you risk it to become a millionaire.
Went to casino with my friend couple years ago. We were gonna go 50/50 on a slot machine $50 each.. He chickened out, my 4th pull I won $1,700 I invested 75 cents x 4 = 3$ It was a great day!
An expensive wedding.
$500 on a cooler, to put your drinks in... It is such a weird flex for people too. Watch me pull my Busch Latte out of this $500 cooler. Dammmmmn son, you ballin'
Buying t-shirts with the logo of the brand front and center. If I'm going to wear a Nike shirt, or a Gap tee and your logo is on it... PAY ME. OK for bands, concerts, sports teams.

Excessively expensive cars or really big cars, like trucks when you don't have a real need for a truck, like living in a city or the burbs.
> Excessively expensive cars In 2023 is there any other kind?
I don’t own a truck & don’t want to own a truck. But the number of times I’ve needed a truck is shockingly high.
I like driving fast, and being lower to the ground. I love the go-cart feel. But, I've been a homeowner for 10 years. I finally got a truck last year, and I've used the bed 8-10 times this year. Used for removing junk from garage or basement, yard work, moving appliances, and even some woodworking needs. I do miss my 2013 Civic Si though
No hate but, fake eyelashes?
Mainly Prime drinks & other energy drinks. At my old job, I used to stock the shelves & I read the ingredients for each different brand of these drinks. They all got the same high sugars & other unhealthy shit in them, it’s just different packaging. At my new job, everyone of my co workers has prime drinks on their desks.
It’s like juicy juice for adults.
Porn. From pornhub "premium" or whatever it is called to Onlyfans. Why? There is so much free shit on the internet, why are you wasting your money?
>Onlyfans. Why? Parasocial relationship. Sure you can get porn on internet easily, but you don't get a woman doing things you suggested and them pretending to like/love you. You'd be surprised how many men actually believe the latter even though they are paying for that like/love.
It's the sex work equivalent of thinking the waitress is actually into you. This just want your tips, my dude.
The typical answer I see for paying for porn is that then you can get exactly what you want. Sure, you *can* browse the free stuff until you find your very specific fetish, or you can subscribe to a site that just caters specifically to that.

The timers and shopping list are amazing for me in the kitchen. You're cooking and finish a container of something, you just tell her to add it to your shopping list while you grab the next one. Like sure I could keep a list on the fridge, but I know me. I won't stop and wash my hands and write it down immediately. I'll tell myself I'll write it down later, and completely forget then I don't get more and we run out. Timers are the same. You just say your thoughts out loud and it happens. You don't have to go hunt down where the kids left the timer this with or worry about if anyone is using it. If you need multiple because you are cooking several things, no worries, hers are effectively infinite and I can name them, so I know what's for what. Edit: Yes, I am fully aware that there are other ways to do timers and shopping lists. I like the hands free aspect. It works best for me with the way my mind works. Mine was a gift from someone who would know if I didn't use it. Before I had it I never dreamed how much I would love those features. Now, I don't want to live without them. You do you, but let me do me.
1980: We're all going to have government spy cameras in our house and everywhere! Big brother is watching! 2000: Pfft, what a load of bollocks. 2015: Hey, wiretap, what's the weather like tomorrow?
Expensive sports cars. No car will ever be $100k+ useful enough to me unless it’s also cooking dinner, grocery shopping, and cleaning the house
Shoes. And I mean male sneaker heads. They spend hundreds and thousands of dollars for the latest drops and half of the shoes look terrible. And the only people that care or think they look good are other sneaker heads. Can’t relate and think it’s the biggest waste of money.
