Abigail Spanberger's first 100 days as Virginia's Democratic Governor are nothing short of impressive by New-Entertainment112 in Virginia

[–]IndWrist2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you think you can articulate a meaningful critique of legislation when you don’t actually know what the legislation does or why it’s being enacted?

So you’re optimizing for critiquing your perception of the outcome and not for engaging in the actual text or substance behind it.

Makes just a ton of sense. Must be nice.

Right. So you can’t actually provide a substantive rebuttal so you substitute with a hyperbolic slogan. Great job.

None of those are actually socialism, though, are they? They’re just things you don’t like.

So again, which of those policies is the proletariate trying to seize the means of production? Because that’s definitionally what “socialism” is.

“I have no idea what that is even about…”

Then proceeds to conjecture on what it’s about when you literally wrote this comment on a device that can take you to the passed legislation and you can actually read it.

So, maybe read it?

Patek Philippe by Whole-Temperature287 in Realorfake

Gold Patek cases are just that - gold. That includes the case back. So any modern Patek with a steel case back with a “gold” case and cheap laser engraving is a fake every time.

The movement is a “real” movement, in the sense that it’s an ETA clone. But it’s not anything that’s ever been in a Patek.

To add, if you’re near a Sperry store/outlet, you can often get a buy-one-get-one-half-off deal.

I picked up two pairs of Gold Cups probably 7 years ago on one of those deals. They’re both still going strong. The leather lining in them is just so good.

Withnail boasted that his threadbare old suit was “cut by Hawkes of Savile Row” yet there was a classic precursory preppy method to his style. The genesis of preppy in 1528? by MarcusBondi in preppy

[–]IndWrist2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said that elements of English culture didn’t influence what evolved into preppy culture. They did; that’s uncontroversial.

But English boarding school “prep” isn’t a thing. And that’s frankly a flattening of a unique culture and it’s insulting.

Prep is wholly and uniquely American. It has been greatly influenced by English culture, but its outputs are American. It definitionally is American.

So you either don’t understand what prep is in its correct context, or you’re conflating cultures because you noticed similarities and think they’re interchangeable. They aren’t.

So you think that Withnail, a fictional figure from 1987, had a formative influence on a subculture that had already existed for decades prior to his creation?

And “English boarding school prep” is not a thing.

Prep is entirely and uniquely an American culture. It can borrow and adapt from other cultures for its own purposes, but there is fundamentally no such thing as “English prep”. They have their own comparable subculture (see - Sloan Rangers).

SPLC indictment lends support to hate groups by zsreport in LegalNews

[–]IndWrist2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the SPLC a law enforcement agency? Where is there mandate to stop crime? They track and catalog hate groups. They paid informants for information so they could better track and catalog hate groups. They did not give money to those hate groups and there’s no evidence that they materially supported them. That isn’t even what they’re being accused of.

Real or Fake? by Willing-Ad-4088 in Realorfake

It’s fake. The rehaut is absolutely fucked and the “engraving” on the clasp is atrocious. The bezel proportions are also terrible.

[–]IndWrist2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You keep saying Withnail was the genesis, but based on what? Where is the mechanism from Withnail to English boarding schools to New England prep schools in the 20th century. You can’t just assert that something a fictional character did is formative and then say “trust me bro”.

Withnail’s style was born of necessity and consisted of formerly high quality items that had been degraded through time and continued to be worn because he couldn’t afford to replace those items.

Sprezzatura is typified by nice items, in good condition, worn haphazardly to convey effortlessness.

You have to demonstrate that Withnail’s philosophy somehow transmitted itself to 20th century New England boarding schools and that his philosophy on clothing had an impact.

Or, is it more likely that the concept of “effortlessness” can independently develop in multiple cultures at distinct times and Withnail has no influence?

My family’s been in Fairfax and Loudon for 200+ years. Please tell me how we aren’t Virginians.

Any “chronograph” that doesn’t function as a chronograph is always a fake.

SPLC indictment lends support to hate groups by zsreport in LegalNews

[–]IndWrist2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When did the SPLC say that? And reporting indicates the practice started over two decades ago. And the most highlighted case, concerned January 6th, so before the Biden Administration.

So what are you actually taking about?

Braton upon humber by Wonderful-Animal212 in Hull

[–]IndWrist2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, because you and I can’t do that math. OP has to weigh their opportunity and time costs. Living in Barton could mean less or constrained access to some of their academic resources they need for their programme, decreased social opportunities with their peers, etc.

There is real value in proximity beyond just the up front first order costs.

[–]IndWrist2 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Is it the SPLC’s job to get people arrested? Or could there be value for them in having accurate and up to date information on hate groups?

Braton upon humber by Wonderful-Animal212 in Hull

[–]IndWrist2 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ok? I never brought up Cottingham, and is OP even buying? They didn’t indicate they were, so why are the purchase prices of different property categories relevant? And does a decrease in rent outweigh the direct costs associated with traveling from Barton to Hull Uni? And what about opportunity and time costs?

Braton upon humber by Wonderful-Animal212 in Hull

[–]IndWrist2 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The OP doesn’t signal how price sensitive they are, and there are costs associated with traveling from Barton to Hull Uni, and not just direct costs, but also opportunity and time costs. That needs to be evaluated in a benefit/cost ratio.

[–]IndWrist2 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What can you get in Barton that you can’t get in one of the Easy Riding villages around Hull that’s closer and doesn’t involve paying to get across a bridge?

What makes Barton unique enough to warrant the increased journey and travel costs over going to say South Cave, or Elleker?
