"well there's a place in Shanghai that sells fake shit"

oh no. there's a bad place in a city of over 26 million people. not literally everyone in Shanghai is 100% honest and forthright. we have no option but to nuke shanghai then

Fake shit is awesome. If Prada or Gucci or whatever don't want to deal with fake shit they shouldn't sell products that can be replicated at 10% of the asking price.

Don't know why any normal person has an interest in defending the IP of multi-billion dollar French luxury goods conglomerate.

When I went to Morocco last year I was offered so many Rolex watches and Patek Philippe watches, for the small price of only 200 Moroccan Dirham. If not for the fact that everyone else I know is madly in love with the concept of IP, then I would probably have bought a few.

Expensive watches are one of the funniest rich people scams.

[-] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

One of the most important things they pay premium for is having a less accurate watch

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

As someone who has a passing interest in watches, I find watch nerds to be insufferable a lot of the time. Some mechanical watches are tiny marvels of engineering and art, but 90% of watch dudes just want to soyface over a stainless steel Rolex with no complications assembled by a machine.

The only good watch extraordinaires are Casio F-91W fans.

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

Are other cheap Casio models included in this? 🥺

[-] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 year ago

As long as they are cheap and not the models filled with bourgeois decadence.

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

Pol Pot killing people with glasses, except this time checking to see if a person's wrist watch has a bourgeois date function instead.

[-] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Shit. Guess I'm on the chopping bloc.

no date function on watches is a good idea

When I go to China one day Im heading straight for one of those side alley clothes stores so I can buy Ryan (literally me) Gosling's scorpion jacket for $10 instead of the $100+ you have to pay in the west for a wanky real version.

"I went to Paris and there were guys selling fake handbags, explain how europe claims to have high culture and prestige"

Love how he's all ”what the fuck?” when he started the conversation with a racist comment and those two weren't entirely polite with their response.

I'm sure if someone had told him "Israelis are disgusting" he'd be raging about antisemitism. Westoids can love to punch down, but they can't take a hit back.
