"Theyre FINE! Still got a thousand miles in them!" - He lied
  • I never considered buying online. But I always felt it was such a drag to go into the physical store and get shamebaited by the salespeople.

    How can you be sure ypull like the fit of what you buy in stores?

  • "Theyre FINE! Still got a thousand miles in them!" - He lied

    These are my Mizuno Enerzy. They are only a few years old, but they survived my 110kg to 75kg, 5km in 50 mins to 10km in 55 mins fitness journey. Its getting a bit embarrasing at the gym when people see the duct tape. Ive already stitched the holes up three times.

    How long are running shoes supposed to last you? They are expensive! Are they expected to do this, or should they last much longer?

    Picture this
  • I invest all my money into laptops. When China invades taiwan and TSMC factories self destructs, I will resell them for a modest profit in the demand-heavy market. Literally can't go tits up.

  • Picture this
  • Google "I have way too many laptops and they all work great."

    Google aggressively reduces prices on laptops to tempt you to buy more of them anyway.

    You buy 3 more to go with your ever increasing pile

  • What's your radical opinion?
  • People who order and eat chili mussels (with shells) at restaurants are insane and are getting ripped off. it is the least practical dish, and by weight, half of it is inedible. I think it's also a massive pain in the ass for kitchen staff to prepare.

  • What's your radical opinion?
  • It's really hard to accept this these days. Before new media, people often had no idea what was going on outside their town or villiage. Must have been bliss (Except for the entrenched poverty, filth, disease and oppression of course lmao). Now it's hard to avoid learning about who got killed in what gruesome way today.

  • People warn about culture shock, but nothing prepared ne for this solid toilet paper roll in Vietnam

    Are westerners being robbed of TP when we get the hollow rolls? Is communism the right path after all?
