  • Exactly my thoughts on it. There are things that are expensive just because they are made so rich people can show off. Is there a point on having diamonds on a watch? No, it doesn’t make it better, just more expensive so you can show others how much money you have.

    Same thing witd loud cars, they are made just so the owner can be the center of attention for a split second. I kinda feel bad for those idiots thinking they need to show off the money they have. It has to be one hell of an inferiority complex if you need to tell everybody how rich you are every moment of your life.


  • I got into a discussion some weeks ago about extremely expensive watches. I think they are stupid and just a “look at me, I’m rich” item. But, apparenty, I know jackshit about it because it’s all about the quality of the materials used and “the feel”. Seems a 10k watch is extremely better than a normal watch and I’m just too dumb to understand it because I don’t know how better it is when a watch uses precious metals in its gears instead of less-precious metals. This, said by a wage slave, by the way.

    Suffice to say I realized it was pointless to go on with the discussion and I let it die after their “explanation” on why I was being dumb.



  • There is an issue in autistic individuals with textures. And it’s an issue you can’t really understand if you don’t suffer it. Yeah, I dress by texture rather than fashion. And those tags are hellish to me and many other autistic people in ways that only them understand.

    It’s kinda concerning and pretty annoying when some people start with the “this is a normal reaction, not an autistic thing”.







  • I was sent to another country overseas for (initially) one month (they made it two in the end, deciding for it a day before I was coming back). They noticed me about it one week before the depart.

    While I was abroad, working my ass 14 hours a day, 6-7 days a week, I was contacted by a headhunter. I explained them the situation and they understood it. They planned an interview for the first day after my (supposed) return.

    When my employer decided to keep me there for another month, I had to contact the headhunter, explain it and they rescheduled without issues.

    I came back and, as pissed as I was, went to the interview and nailed it. Few days (and interviews later), I had a new job. By then, my current job knew nothing (yet), I was about to give my notice when something happened:

    Right before lunch, my then manager, calls everyone and starts a speech saying there’s “some people” who are lately lacking will and enthusiasm because, and I quote, “they clock in at exactly 8 am and clock out at 5pm without caring if there’s other people still working”. That was directed at me because I was pissed and started to simply follow my shift to the second. He continued rambling about how there’s people who don’t deserve to work there and other indirect attacks that clearly had my name on them.

    I was going to give my two weeks notice that day, personally, to my boss, but the “meeting” got me so pissed that I decided to be pety about it:

    Here, you can, instead, notify the ministry of employment online about your two weeks notice and they send an official notice to the employer in your place.

    The boss found about it the same day he called me to offer me a raise. It goes without saying but he wasn’t happy about the notice. He sent me home and told me to never come back. I took my stuff, went home and enjoyed my free days until I started on my current job.
