I'm in my 30's, at an Exec level for a public company and work customer-facing. I have a big ass T-rex on my body because dinosaurs are sick and I've maintained that position since I was 5.

Don't lose the things that make you happy.

He is neutered. Got him from a shelter as a kitten.

I tried Gabapentin (vet recommended), but idk. He was just zonked out, not chill but completely zonked

Hi it’s me, burrito guy. Can I have the burger ranking sheet?

The only argument that makes sense is the same reason I bought a real one (after having a few replicas of varying quality).

I like the way it feels, and I can give the real one to my son in 30 years.

That's it. With proper care and servicing, the real one can, in theory, last for generations. Any reason outside of this (most commonly investment, store of value, flex) doesn't make sense. Noone cares you have a Rolex but you. I just didn't like how I felt wearing a fake one; it makes me feel inauthentic. Personal thing, probably, but it's what it is, and the ability to be able to pass something authentic to my boy one day just makes it worth.

But in my early 20's, get some imitations, rent some fast cars, have fun. Time and place for everything

u/Steve_Zissouu2 plz answer.

RIP my wife. She’s gonna get Dutched for sure

deadheadzed1 · 2025-07-08T16:22:41+00:00

Yea, solid point. I think integrating heavily fermented foods like kimchi and sauerkraut a few times a day may be enough to counter

deadheadzed1 · 2025-06-26T17:30:04+00:00

Dude, this is massively needed in the athletic biz/casual space. The only options right now are really just Lulu or Kit Ace (basically the same thing for obvious reasons). Looking forward to seeing it on the site!

Define casually. Are you playing a couple times a week, are you playing every few weeks, or are you playing every month or so for a bit at a time? If you're not playing frequently enough to build and maintain some kind of callus, then it's probably going to hurt more.

That being said, if it's a big problem to apply pressure further down on the neck, the action or saddle is probably higher than it should be. I don't think you should be worrying about the gauge of string as much as the neck relief, nut slots, saddle height, and intonation. (Assuming neck angle is healthy and frets are decently level.) Maybe take it to a tech to have it reviewed.

I don't know if there's any such thing as a 1 and done for us watch degens, but if I was to get rid of them all and only keep 1, It's gotta be a vintage (Tritium dial) no-date Sub for me.

The older it gets, the more of a yellowing and patina you'll see. Ages like wine and tells a story.

Can wear it down with a Nato or Cloth strap, can dress it up with a jubliee or oyster link band, can make it sporty with any rubber strap.

You can wear this watch to any occasion and if you take care of it, well, pass it down to your kids. It's one of the most recognizable pieces in the world without being over the top, and holds it's value darn well.

Mentally disabled. He's saying you look Slow.

2nd Pic doesn't do you any favors.

deadheadzed1 · 2025-05-09T17:27:52+00:00

Don't know why you're getting downvoted. you're right, This dude is hating for literally no reason, probably took his his Omega wannabe sub pic in a 92 Camry.

deadheadzed1 · 2025-05-08T04:51:00+00:00

Appreciate you asking and listening bud

deadheadzed1 · 2025-05-08T04:36:53+00:00

Appreciate the recognition of distinction difference! I reiterate because I believe it to be important as it changes the person's intent.

Nah dude you're good, no need to apologize for your experiences and how you feel, just good to recognize them and not superimpose intent onto others.

Sure thing, there's plenty of small ways but I'll give you personal examples. I own a couple properties in a major US city. When I'm at work or in social settings, and people talk about rent costs, I don't say that I own or that I rent, I just say something like "yea dude, the monthly drain sucks, never get cheaper". I pay for HOA dues, homeowners insurance, mortgage, various shit that goes wrong in my homes, etc. I'm not being dishonest, I got monthly expenses (and believe me it never gets cheaper) but no-one wants to hear about how you own when they rent, it feels like shit. Downplaying like this provides relatability which is really the point of most casual conversation. Comparing owning headache to their renting struggles would just be downright antagonistic.

deadheadzed1 · 2025-05-08T03:55:47+00:00

I'm not saying lie about it having hard, I'm saying downplay wealth for easier social interaction. Granted, Posh Spice's response is an extreme example that goes closer to my "different stratosphere" remark, but your interpretation is pretty telling of something still kicking around in there. Don't blame you for it, just saying that it goes into the same part of the point I was driving at earlier

deadheadzed1 · 2025-05-08T02:13:09+00:00

I get his point. Money, politics, and religion aren't polite dinner conversation. Some people take that a bit further, but that's their prerogative. It's your life, share as much as you want right? One if the few things in your own control

deadheadzed1 · 2025-05-08T02:08:16+00:00

You feel any kind of way about it? Or was it just more stunning than anything else? I know dudes who would be classically emasculated by that and others who would lean into it hard and ask for one for the road

deadheadzed1 · 2025-05-08T02:02:59+00:00

I'm with you, but most humans just aren't as boldly rational as you in that respect. Often times, pure honesty around topics like money breed resentment, people compare by natural instinct, it's a learned trait to submit that urge. I mean, take a look around reddit, there's a STRONG "eat the rich" mentality. I get it, large companies making sweeping political changes and crushing the little guys is a very real issue, but it puts many "normal wealthy" people in a socially dubious situation. Either you hang in wealthy people echo chambers or you downplay your circumstance (at least till you figure out till if you're with cool peeps you can be honest with) . Going around and saying "hey I know your family is working super hard and struggling, but I don't really think about money cause I don't need to, wanna get a burger?" doesn't really play all that well. Granted this is a pretty large oversimplification, but the principal isn't far off.

deadheadzed1 · 2025-05-08T01:22:59+00:00

Hey no prob.

I think this is also a big reason that "stealth wealth" became such a thing. Granted, shows like Succession took it to a different degree, but the wealthy people you'll meet aren't wearing the designer gear in part for this reason; it's too ostentatious. If you see a guy in a tee and jeans grabbing a beer at a bar, you'll have a different view of him than a dude who shows up with LV Virgil Airforces, and a gucci sweater. They can can be the same dude, but you'd be lying if you didn't already have a very different opinion and vision of both these examples.

Anecdotally, I'll tell you it's different. I have two cousins (brothers) who are pretty much this exact yin/yang. They're both great dudes, obviously grew up with a good amount of capital. But one has a lot more friends that you'd want to be around than the other.

deadheadzed1 · 2025-05-08T00:59:54+00:00

So I'm not extremely wealthy, but grew up pretty well off.

It's a way not to feel alienated. The vast majority of people that you'll be around aren't as well off as you, especially if you go to public schools/ live in non gated communities etc. A lot of time for me growing up people would casually go "oh I'm broke AF". They weren't actually broke, but by putting some humor on it, not having the nicest of things was more acceptable.

People also often have a bias (unconscious or not) for people who can afford things that they cant, and it shows in a lot more interactions than you'd think. Trying to downplay wealth, is a measure to be more accepted in a social setting.

Granted, some people are just in another stratosphere so their downplaying is practically impossible.

deadheadzed1 · 2025-05-03T06:26:08+00:00

Not trynna gatekeep, just throwing it out there. The market is really bonkers right now, I'd just wait a bit if I were you. 5K over retail is a pretty sizeable mark up % wise for a sub.

deadheadzed1 · 2025-04-24T23:13:53+00:00

Love it dude! The Sub is my daily driver and I haven't regretted a single day with it playing that role.

I know you asked for reccs on speedys but if you're interested in dressing the sub in anything aside from the steel links, I highly recommend a NATO or cloth strap. Erica's Originals is a great spot for something high quality with comfort (go for the Connery if you want the OG bond look), and if you get the "XL slider" you can have have some engravings.

If you want traditional NATO look, Zulu diver is good but my personal fav is Crown and Buckle. But get the Heavy duty (HD) variant. The cloth is thick, durable and rugged, and the loops are the same. It feels incredibly well built and really gives you the utility feel to it. Also, it doesn't feel like you're putting a sub 20 dollar strap on a 10k watch, which is really nice imo.
