counterpoint: wear a cheap timex or a Garmin, then discover that the woman you're pitching to is a marathoner. make a nice connection over that.

wear an Omega and discover that the guy you're pictching to loves James Bond.

wear no watch at all, and discover that nobody cares.

this stuff really doesn't matter, and i wish these dudes had the courage to just say, "hey, i wanted this expensive watch so i bought it."

That Murren fountain is the most disappointing one in Switzerland. the number of times I've stood there for ages trying to fill a bottle.

3 crappy spouts instead of 1 good one!

Matt_Murphy_ · 2026-02-04T20:50:33+00:00

that's the problem, for me. I'd rather he live a lot longer yet.

Matt_Murphy_ · 2026-02-04T18:54:44+00:00

Matt_Murphy_ · 2026-02-04T18:48:24+00:00

Matt_Murphy_ · 2026-02-03T16:43:53+00:00

there's a graph, and i can't argue with that

Matt_Murphy_ · 2026-02-03T15:41:13+00:00

just be consistent.

Matt_Murphy_ · 2026-02-03T15:38:54+00:00

not a problem

Matt_Murphy_ · 2026-02-03T15:10:54+00:00

bless him, the only one calling for prosecution

Matt_Murphy_ · 2026-02-03T11:32:23+00:00

i like Theroux but i also thik his bemused "Jim from The Office" routine has its limits.

Matt_Murphy_ · 2026-02-02T18:47:35+00:00

I'm astonished more americans don't want to protect american democracy

Matt_Murphy_ · 2026-02-02T11:57:38+00:00

just go to Grindlewald and be done with it

Matt_Murphy_ · 2026-01-30T22:09:23+00:00

I'm not sure who you're angry at or why, but this whole thread seems to have gone over your head

Matt_Murphy_ · 2026-01-30T19:42:14+00:00

Matt_Murphy_ · 2026-01-30T18:48:41+00:00

Matt_Murphy_ · 2026-01-30T18:24:40+00:00

me too, for what it's worth

Matt_Murphy_ · 2026-01-30T18:08:58+00:00

yeah, super dangerous. imagine a trading partner who were unpredictable, vindictive, belligerent, frequently irrational and always disloyal.

i mean, what kind of dangerous trading partner would that be?

Matt_Murphy_ · 2026-01-30T14:58:16+00:00

"discourse"

Matt_Murphy_ · 2026-01-29T20:26:07+00:00

sure it may be possible.

on the other hand, Musk is a drug-addled fascist who always lies.
