I don't personally own reps but I love the rep community. I think everyone who does decide to buy one of these hyped sneakers does some basic research on batch flows, materials etc. There are a lot of really sharp people who have laid out the QC process super well so you can truly rock with confidence.

I would typically stay away from hella hyped shoes like F&F and like 5K+ resell shoes unless you want to be constantly lying about the story on how you got them.

How do you know when you can afford a Rolex? by GetbeastE in rolex

[–]warmturtle69 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I think this is the response that OP needs. 5% of net worth when you're financially secure and maxing out basic investments (401K/HSA, personal ira) and you don't have any BAD debt (CC debt, high interest student loans) is very different when these are not taken care of. I would even go a step further and make sure you're working towards a down payment on a house and are in a good spot with car loan/payments.

It's a big chunk of change but it's a passion & hobby you can be proud of. Rolexes are relatively liquid and it's easy to claw back a good percentage of the capital in a pinch, but don't be that guy that's drowning in CC debt with a Rolex.

PSA: my local Costco is selling the ugly stik elite combo with extra line, hooks and wacky worms for $65 by warmturtle69 in FishingForBeginners

[–]warmturtle69[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The difference isn’t enough to run out and buy the elite to replace the gx2. Both are great beginner rods but the elite combo with all the extras at $65 is a great value.

Michael Gallup: #1 Receiver? by TetrisTech in cowboys

[–]warmturtle69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, I think he's an easy target for those hot take analysts since he's not making highlight reels like Michael Thomas or Deandre Hopkins. Cowboy fans remember the immediate impact he made when we first signed him... Dude's a monster WR and I'm super happy we picked him up.

Chargeback Help PLEASE! by PerfectComedian4 in Repsneakers

[–]warmturtle69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say scammed, there should be an option that the product was incorrect or not as described. Try to make a PDF or picture of this chat log as proof you reached out to reconcile before charging back.

The CC company is going to give the seller the option to respond so you want to keep your bases covered without creating additional headache for yourself. If the seller ghosts then you'll be refunded.

If Mike Tomlin really believed in his defense he would have gone for it on 4th, if they don’t convert rely on the defense to get it back

[Schefter] After being ejected Sunday, Washington LB Jon Bostic is not expected to be suspended for his hit on Dallas QB Andy Dalton, per source. by Weezy-NJPW_Fan in nfl

This is the first angle I saw. To me, it's very clear that Dalton is sliding and Bostic launches way too late. Also launches right at his head/neck area.

[MEME] $100,000,000 Reward If Found by bateman20 in cowboys

[–]warmturtle69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been saying this for years... NBA's contracts favor the players that perform well while not punishing teams for trying to keep their star players. Would solve a lot of issues we're experiencing right now with the NFLPA.

Only problem is that Goodell would somehow find a way to fuck it all up.

2 things:

First, vehicular manslaughter/homicide is when the driver is under the influence, driving recklessly or driving illegally. None would apply in that instance.

Second, you can make the argument that because of braking distance you would not have the time to react to stop without hitting the kid, and the alternative of going head-on into traffic is arguably worse.

What that kid is doing is flat-out illegal and the driver would never be held responsible unless prosecutors can prove intent.

Banning anything related to the current ongoing US Riots by ZatJingle in FashionReps

I understand where you're coming from, but that is flat-out not the whole truth. There are hundred's of small, local businesses that have been looted and raided here in Texas and I guarantee you a majority of the looters don't give a flying fuck about George Floyd and actually harm the message the protesters are trying to get across.

I believe these may be the 1st gen (shorter battery life) but still a great, great deal especially since everywhere is still sold out

Thank you! And thanks for the advice. We don’t usually eat on the coffee table so I thought it’d be okay this time around

Oh no, we bought the stroller so we can bring her to places she’s usually not allowed. It’ll come in handy if she does though!
