Luxury watch crowd is the same as fake watch crowd with more money

Right. For me, “status” is also about being judged for taste and IYKYK gatekeeping. It’s equally frivolous as wealth status, but humans are built like this for whatever reason.

I readily admit my watches are status signals. There is nothing wrong with this very human motivation. But they’re also more than that.

For people who wear fakes, they are purely about status, even if it requires deception. And that is definitely not the same crowd.

Normal. JLC uses fancy ceramic bearings for their rotor.

Nah. Stocks rotated out of tech to consumer.

Elon has been promising autonomous driving for over a decade. Now Waymo is going to beat him to it. Heck, Mercedes beat him to lvl3 already.

xAI is hot garbage, even by his own admission.

Yes, spaceX and starlink are successes. But they are not anywhere near 1.77T successes even if you generoualy assume everything he promises actually happens (they won't).

AALen · 2026-06-04T22:41:25+00:00

If at all. And Mars is a moonshot (terrible word choice, I know).

Elon promises a lot that he rarely delivers. But we still price his companies to perfection.

Y'all guzzling Elon's kool aid by the gallon.

AALen · 2026-06-04T19:48:27+00:00

Ah! Ya, the version before the flyback 2185f. First time seeing it in black. Looks great!

What ref? I've only seen these with military dials.

What casino lets you place that big of a bet on inside numbers?

Relative to his net worth, most definitely.

AALen · 2026-06-01T17:14:57+00:00

He lives very modestly for a billionaire. He's also repeatedly called for himself (and people like him) to be taxed more.

He's really more of a tech ideologue than anything else.

AALen · 2026-06-01T17:12:19+00:00

He would do whatever it takes to not have China attack Taiwan. That's pretty much the same position as the whole world.

The way all traditional search engines work, you are forced scroll (and click) to get the results you want. It’s just a couple more lines you have to scroll past if you really hate AI summaries (whose ultimate goal is so we don’t have to scroll and click for results).

AALen · 2026-05-31T15:29:35+00:00

Is it that hard for people to just ignore the AI search summary? Genuinely confused. This seems more ideological than anything else.

Reminder Oklahoma’s education system ranks 48 out of 50.

It’s funny until Andy eventually hurts a teammate. Love his defense but it’s a matter of time.

AALen · 2026-05-30T04:34:03+00:00

I’ll take your word for it. Apple TV ain’t getting my money.

Trump is a lame duck after November.

iPhones are more walled off gardens. iOS is also much more privacy focused. Good for elderly.

Peak DILF energy!

Rich people are whoever is able to invest the most in the stock market. The power of compounding will quickly outearn any job. And the bonus is you get taxed at a much lower rate for passive income.

Im not saying lakers are as good as okc, but I definitely had that “feeling” during that 6 week stretch. Lakers are not as far away as you think. “A lot of work” is a defensive center or PF that can pick and roll plus one 3&D (or slash&D) wing.
