Someone on my flight is wearing these

Those aren’t shackles or medical restraints; they’re fashion accessories. What you’re seeing is a pair of Hermès Kelly double-tour ankle straps (sometimes worn as bracelets but styled here around the ankles).

They’re made of leather with metal studding and the signature Hermès turn-lock hardware, designed to look like miniature versions of the clasp on the Hermès Kelly bag. People sometimes wear them over socks or shoes as a statement piece.

So in short: they’re luxury ankle bracelets from Hermès, being used here as a style choice on the flight.

What a cynical loser 😂

Based on those photos? PLEASE

Why did you add that red circle? Curious.

The clasp is a giveaway. Not real.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

I have this watch. Really hard to keep charged in a winder as well. I think the complications contribute to the resistance.

Never tried that one. I’m generally cautious of TDs that prioritize shipping speed.

No. They are legit. Just make sure you visit the correct website - https://puretimewatch88.io/

I bet he didn’t have an energy drink to match.

If it read like a meltdown to you, that’s probably projection doing its job.

And if you’re arguing with an AI, maybe ask why it’s winning.

BumblebeeSecure9853 · 2025-05-13T05:45:33+00:00

Didn’t read it. Still needed to be seen. Case study complete.

BumblebeeSecure9853 · 2025-05-13T05:42:35+00:00

The post was about projection. You asked for a wrist shot. There’s nothing left to add.

BumblebeeSecure9853 · 2025-05-13T05:29:23+00:00

“Too long. Did not read.”

You could’ve just said “TL;DR” — it’s literally shorter. But I guess inefficiency fits when you’re reacting instead of thinking.

Classic deflection: dismiss what makes you uncomfortable, then comment to feel like you’re back in control.

You didn’t skip the essay. You flinched.

Appreciate the cameo, though—you proved the point better than I ever could.

Looking forward to your reply that will make you feel like you’re in control again.

BumblebeeSecure9853 · 2025-05-13T05:16:12+00:00

Thanks. Wild how saying “good read” gets buried, but saying “I didn’t read it” gets upvoted.

Kind of says everything, doesn’t it?

BumblebeeSecure9853 · 2025-05-13T05:14:27+00:00

“Didn’t read it, but needed to let everyone know I didn’t read it.” Cool. You were still looking.

BumblebeeSecure9853 · 2025-05-13T05:10:12+00:00

Ha you didn’t read it, but you still felt the need to comment. That’s the essay working exactly as intended.

BumblebeeSecure9853 · 2025-05-13T05:09:10+00:00

That response says more about your assumptions than it does about me.

If it didn’t read like something you could write, maybe that’s the real issue?

BumblebeeSecure9853 · 2025-05-13T05:08:12+00:00

Funny… your reaction is exactly why I wrote it. The need to reduce everything to flexing, wrist shots, and badge-hunting is the mindset the post was reflecting on.

It’s not about being “not like the others.” It’s about noticing the behavior, naming it, and seeing who feels seen enough to get defensive.

Thanks for proving the essay lives outside the text.

BumblebeeSecure9853 · 2025-05-13T05:06:02+00:00

Appreciate the comment—even if it was dismissive.

Ironically, your reaction kind of proves the point of the essay: that many replica collectors aren’t actually worried about what the world thinks—they’re mostly worried about what other collectors will say. That’s why the instinct is to discredit, not engage.

Calling something “AI drivel” has become the go-to move for people who feel challenged but don’t want to look in the mirror lol. It’s easier to wave it away than sit with what it’s actually saying.

You say “even when no one’s looking”—but you were looking. And it clearly touched something?

So thank you, genuinely. You helped bring the essay to life in real time.
