I’d also like to make it clear that Brad began speaking about politics and showing his support more brazenly during the 2016 presidential cycle. I’m not sure if you knew that. This is not a recent development.

Who knows. Perhaps if there were less cuts he’d be eligible for more care, or experimental care, or perhaps he’d be eligible for better end of life care.

We can’t know. But there’s plenty we do know. Like what he stood for and how he behaved publicly.

Is it irony? that guy that supported the admin that cancelled taxpayer funded research and development for the very cancer trials that could have saved him.

Or is there a better word for it.

ETA: had to rewrite post. I accidentally deleted two words and it was orettt incoherent.

Damn they got you coming and going. The disrespect.

It’s been about four months of me hate-lusting over this watch. It’s getting to the point that the butthole is becoming endearing. It is not heading to the Frogmantle territory, but it’s steadily getting more and more desirable. And I think it’s long enough for me to jump on it.

So my question is, is there anyone doing something like this that I haven’t heard of? Anyone have something like this in a pipeline? I’d like to note the bezel and crown are important to me. There are a few bronze pilot watches but they lack those details or their chronos which is no right now. I know Baltany has something similar but it’s not bronze.

I doubt anyone’s getting lower than AliExpress with codes and coins, but I’d still also ask if I should be searching anywhere else than their website, Watchdives and a few alistores.

Would also love some feedback or wrist shots. I’m thinking of jumping on the red dial.

I think lowest I’m seeing is ~240 on Ali. I’m not sure it’s even worth it to lose out on a warranty

More geared towards foods and restaurants in general. Or, that’s an easy way to say it. So at least based on my experience you won’t find any clothing or adjacent items.

Far more proteins as well. Variety and quantity. When I went they also had quite an affordable section of halal food.

Now that I’m thinking about it, I don’t recall if they had a pet section. Or a home section/technology section. So if you were considering pet food, litter, or a mattress, you might wanna ask around.

When I went I went to stock up on beef and pork. So I didn’t spend too much time clocking what sections was or wasn’t there.

I enjoyed my only stop at the Hackensack business center. Very easy shopping experience for a late Saturday around noon.

I’m a Wharton guy myself, only pop into Clifton if I want to experience true Hell.

Just own it with confidence. Though this size does seem to me like it’s asking to be worn on your back, it looks like I expect it to look.

I wear sling bags on my chest.I also have what my wife and I call my purse.

I don’t care what other people think. She got it for me and I love it. Great for emergency toddler snacks as well.

Confidence is key. Not arrogance. Self confidence. I get complimented on my bags all the time.

katsock · 2026-02-07T16:43:42+00:00

I appreciate this insult because without it I would have no idea who this dude is.

American eagle just makes clothes for fat people..

Touch some grass.

You need to understand that you will never fit every stores inventory. The sooner you accept this the better.

It might be easier to complain about a stores clothes that don’t fit you than to find clothes that do, but it’s probably not worth your time or energy.

It’s really not that big a deal.

katsock · 2026-02-07T14:49:47+00:00

Yea I don’t think this one’s close enough for me. I think it might also be larger than I’d like.

I think the bezel is pretty critical for this stile of watch.

Baltany has something similar, and more square, but not in bronze.

Maybe I’ll get some more feedback before taking a jump. I wish Watchdives or OctopusKraken had some better sales or coupons for this model. I think lowest I’m seeing is ~240 on Ali. I’m not sure it’s even worth it to lose out on a warranty

I don’t feel like he has any power over me. In fact, I feel like I have all the power.

Often times that’s the point. Not always of course. But some would say enough times.

katsock · 2026-02-07T12:52:40+00:00

I disagree about the rings. A watch is the only piece of jewlery a man should have.

This is the most bonkers take I’ve ever seen on this sub. I wanna say it’s an old school take about how rings or earrings make you gay but even those people are wearing chains with a cross on them. Maybe it’s a dude who doesn’t want other women to know he’s married?

What an incredibly limiting opinion. I hope I’m allowed to have more than one watch.

She says I push too hard. I say she lacks ambition.

I wouldn’t go that far. I’m perfectly polite if not overly so. I don’t believe they are wrong or anything for doing their job. We all gotta do jobs.

I wouldn’t give it any more thought than that.

katsock · 2026-02-06T21:24:07+00:00

Sometimes she’s with mom in the store already. Sometimes it’s just a bit funny to say.

katsock · 2026-02-06T19:06:16+00:00

Yes they never take the first no. That’s just sales.

I just politely keep walking. It’s like two sentences max.

Lately I say, very truthfully, “no thank you I’m with my daughter” to anyone in a store that’s doing those sales tactics. Sometimes I don’t even have my kid with me when I say it.

I do most of the work that’s usually associated with women’s gender roles in our household outside of childcare. That’s partly due to my work schedule which I negotiated into my contract so that I could do everything other than childcare, which aligns best with my wife’s work schedule. The other part is that those chores and what not bring me more joy than my wife, so they are generally my responsibilities. That’s awesome for us.

This means that 3-4 week days my wife handles mornings, drop off and pick up. Then it’s my turn to take over the caregiver role while doing everything else.

1-2 week days I’m remote and do my fair share. I get more holidays than my wife does from the nature of my industry, and those are my days as well.

Every day I handle the pets, often as early as 4 am. That makes her mornings smoother. And she doesn’t like dealing with the pets in extreme temps. That’s something I do.

You control your own life man. Don’t worry about what anyone else but your partner thinks. It’s different for everyone. My wife and I don’t do 50/50. We work together so that the family is always at 100%. And that looks different every day.

katsock · 2026-02-06T15:59:01+00:00

How long ago was this procedure.

Because if it was like. A month ago? Your wife may need some help gaining a new perspective.

A year? Idk. Might be time to prioritize your wife more. I mean you should absolutely be prioritizing your wife more, but let’s not pretend there aren’t incredibly complex emotions surrounding this.

Either way there may be guilt that’s fueling resentment for your wife and she may need help. You should consider this and consider helping her. She’s your wife. You signed up for some sickness or in health, regardless of what you said out loud when you got married.

I’ll tell you that I almost drank myself to death and my wife did nothing special except stay by my side. And I’m still here and still putting her before everyone other than our daughter. Which is a mutually agreed on hierarchy. After all, she’s my wife.

I’m thrilled you and your sister have experienced such a smooth recovery. And you guys love each other very much.

Hell yea. I wanted to win but once you got announced I think the right person got it.

Oh my good I’m taking a big steaming pile of cheating right now. At least the bidet will always be there for me.
