  • Exactly my thoughts on it. There are things that are expensive just because they are made so rich people can show off. Is there a point on having diamonds on a watch? No, it doesn’t make it better, just more expensive so you can show others how much money you have.

    Same thing witd loud cars, they are made just so the owner can be the center of attention for a split second. I kinda feel bad for those idiots thinking they need to show off the money they have. It has to be one hell of an inferiority complex if you need to tell everybody how rich you are every moment of your life.


  • I got into a discussion some weeks ago about extremely expensive watches. I think they are stupid and just a “look at me, I’m rich” item. But, apparenty, I know jackshit about it because it’s all about the quality of the materials used and “the feel”. Seems a 10k watch is extremely better than a normal watch and I’m just too dumb to understand it because I don’t know how better it is when a watch uses precious metals in its gears instead of less-precious metals. This, said by a wage slave, by the way.

    Suffice to say I realized it was pointless to go on with the discussion and I let it die after their “explanation” on why I was being dumb.



  • There is an issue in autistic individuals with textures. And it’s an issue you can’t really understand if you don’t suffer it. Yeah, I dress by texture rather than fashion. And those tags are hellish to me and many other autistic people in ways that only them understand.

    It’s kinda concerning and pretty annoying when some people start with the “this is a normal reaction, not an autistic thing”.









  • Italian has a few that might be hard to translate:

    Fottesega: “fucks a handjob/saw”? This one I reckon might be really difficult to translate but “fotte” means “fucks” (the verb, not the noun), and “sega” is both a saw and a handjob so it’s anyone’s guess how to translate it.

    We also have “m’importa 'na sega” or “I care a handjob/saw”. This is easier to translate, and I love hearing it in Tuscany accent, top notch.

    Also, Spanish has some other: You can change the cucumber with a pepper bell (pimiento) and works the same.

    There’s also “Me importa tres cojones” or “I care three balls”. It’s specifically three, because, you see? The word “cojones” is probably the one with most meanings in our language, it has to be three because it’s the number for showing an extremely low value thing.
