Re: Uncommon Opinions

I wouldn't assume that at all, the guy who's making nothing could see the biggest check he's ever seen in his life and blow it on nonsense, the millionaire might be great with investments, etc.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

I feel like there's a fine line between rich people spending money just to flex and broke people saying the difference in price makes no difference in quality, sword cuts both ways, wouldn't worry about it either one. Just do you.

I don't even think the line is that fine. Even if you just flexing, it is probably still better quality. Most things in life you get what you pay for. More accessible and cheaper options should exist but that doesn't mean we have to pretend a $100 off the rack suit is the same as an $800 tailored one lol.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

Reminds me of something I saw on TV one time. Someone talking about "investing" in a person. If you had 100k to spend, would you want someone making 1M to spend it for you, or someone who doesn't have much? The one making less would value money way more and be smarter/more cautious about how they spend it.

That's not a certainty though.

Someone who makes 1M may be great with money, investments, and how to make their money work for them. Just because someone has achieved wealth, doesn't automatically mean they are loose with their money.

Amount of one's wealth is not an true indication of how they will spend their money. How they achieved that wealth is what's worth noting.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

This topic makes me think of commercials I've been seeing for guys who make cost effective watches. Supposedly they're the same as expensive watches but affordable for the common man!

My first thought was that people don't buy watches anymore unless they want to show the luxury of a rolex or whatever. I can't imagine that business will work well because people would be embarrassed to have the budget friendly watch.

Watches aren't about keeping time, they're about flashing wealth.

Anyone remember when Spalding had Dream sneaks? Didn't work

They're still relatively expensive watches, too.

Just a good old fashioned watch.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

I do to. Actually in all honesty I kind of have a watch fetish in a way. I probably have close to a dozen now. Everything from a basic Timex to my favorite Jord watches. Getting ready to order the new Meridian and my Christmas present to myself this year.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

Burrito/burger bowls are stupid.

Paying exact same price to eat everything in a burrito, without the tortilla shell. Or having a burger with no bread.

Just throw the ingredients in a bowl, serve it, and pass it off basically as the same meal.

There's many good and unique ideas, and others which are just weird. I saw an ad on tv where taco bell has cheetos in a burrito. I've also seen ads for a pierogi pizza. Not a pierogi that tastes like a pizza (those are great), but a pizza where the topping besides sauce and cheese is just pierogis on top. You can also get potatoes on your pizza. All those just seem so weird. Who was part of that focus group?

I actually prefer a burrito bowl because depending on the ingredients in your burrito, it could fall apart. Gimme a good crunch shell on the outside any day.

My little brother had a pair of Dream sneaks. Let me text him real quick to clown him.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

I like watches. Beats busting out my phone, getting distracted by something, and forgetting to actually check the time. Plus, there's some really cool pieces out there and they make a great accessory piece.

Yup. I tend to like classic time pieces myself. I have a couple of antique pocket watches that I love. I don't know if any of you all are familiar with Jord watches. But they are crafted out of wood except for the actually workings of the clock. I love them and think they are beautiful craftsmanship. Here is the one I am ordering for myself. Its crafted out of ebony wood and it actually comes with a humidor and oils to treat the wood.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

Nice. I'll have to look into them since I lean towards the wood stylings. They always catch the eyes and get some compliments. I have a couple Bobo Bird watches so far.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

When I was a kid I loved having a digital watch so I could time myself doing various stuff. I was nuts about setting up obstacle course tracks for myself and running around trying to break my records

side note: watch tans are annoying
