Uhhh. You just destroyed your own argument. The microwave/watch comparison is also not similar to the phone/smartwatch one. I actually acknowledged that the Omega is a vanity purchase. You need to work on your rhetoric. 

The difference - is that you can get most of the same function from your phone, if not all, which is inches away from the watch usually. So they’re paying 2,500 for convenience. Which, is totally fine. But mine is actually worth the same or more (more) than what I paid for it.

I paid around 1200 bucks for my Omega Constellation from 1963 about ten years ago, and I use it every day. Every five - six years or so I pay a few hundred bucks to get it cleaned. The watch is closing on 60 years old - and I thought it was an extravagance. Even with the Apple Watch, now your average Joe is going to…

Yeah, came here to say this, I’m not any more outraged about this than the way the actual system already is supposed to work RE: donations.

We absolutely control it. We need to form unions.

I would like stronger labor protections in place across the board for all workers, and healthcare for all workers, stronger safety nets, etc. But I’m also not really that outraged that a company that has been on the edge of profitability in a fairly new market segment, is making draconian cuts, like slicing back its…

The idea that we need highly qualified immigrants is also a myth that needs to die. With the current economy in shambles, and most of the job creation in the hourly wage zone, what we actually need are low-wage workers.

Lol. David Duke turning it into something anti Semitic is exactly the same as you turning it into something anti Semitic. Circular argument. 

Headlights are set up to pitch a little higher on the passenger’s side than the driver’s side. So what he was saying is that since you’re in a right hand drive car, your inside light which normally would be aimed higher and slightly off to the right, to illuminate the edge of the road, is opposite on a RHD car,…

How dare you tell me that I have no conception about what HIV+ people have to go through. How fucking dare you.

The whole responsible person at work thing, and the focus on colds and etc is strange to me. More often than not, illnesses are contagious before the symptoms present, and you come in contact with a ton of people daily that expose you to these things, fixating on someone because they’re coughing seems irrational.

The common cold does seem excessive. I don’t think it’s sexually transmitted.

Important question - is it “preventive” or “preventative”? I’m asking for a friend.

Jesus Christ with the civility breaking down. Fuck civility forever. The system worked exactly the way it was set up to work. Obama lost the house and senate and then had trouble getting fuck-all passed. Then he got screwed out of a Supreme Court seat. We can debate about gerrymandering and dirty politics, but…

Nothing? That’s what I figured. You’re only turning this into anti Semitic thing in your head. There are plenty of Jews that hate what Bibi is doing.

I was raised by a man that used to say that for much of my life. He died a little over a year ago a month after a cancer diagnosis. Fighting and hanging on to life as long as he could. Even when it sucks life can be pretty sweet. I know you were joking but it just reminded me of what he used to say, and how silly it…

Just a question - do you think the Israeli government is justified in all the actions it takes with respect to Palestinians?

I don’t like convertibles with their tops up, but top-down motoring on a nice cool night on a nice road is hands down one of the top driving experiences you can have. Sure, the weather needs to be right, the wind needs to be minimal, and keeping it at 40-50 is key, but it’s wonderful.

Really? I love the wing. It’s obnoxious. But I’d have two of these things. One that was totally smooth and stock in red or black. And one that was totally obnoxious with a wing and splitters and everything, in a blue like this one. And I’d also have an LC500 in red for when I just wanted to relax because Jesus Christ…

Fair enough, but still feels like a lot of money for a glorified scooter? But, never having ridden one, I could be totally off base.
