It all sort of makes sense Pope. The rest of the civilised world is extremely puzzled by the flag waving exceptionalism (along with other exceptional American things like gun lunacy, allowing the vulnerable to go fuck themselves, the uniform worshipping and bootlicking and the social regression (though that last one is not exceptional, its…[Read more]

I tortured myself going through a dozen or so reaction videos on American Flags, trying to see if anyone found satire or humor in it, like they see in Black & White. The thing about flags, with me, is that the last time everyone was waving them in huge numbers was in the rah rah, “never forget 911” stages of invading Iraq, eventually destroying…[Read more]

Outrage culture is a very real thing. “Cancel culture” is not. People paying a price for things they say is nothing new, it has happened always and will always happen. It is not “cultural”, it is a natural part of human interaction. People paying a notable public price for things they said used to be mostly conservative reactions to people not…[Read more]

Look here on Amazon. Current Amazon price $140.

I should have read this before writing my previous response. Come on, that’s not even the same model.

Have you checked the current price of your watch?. Look it up and tell us what it is. I bet it’s more than my least expensive one which was about $57.

I just remember I paid about $40 for it about six years ago. But that was when I was poorer and did a lot of shopping… some number of hours.

I agree, $57 is not unreasonable to p…[Read more]

That’s so romantic. When are you going to buy me some flashy sentimental jewelry Reg? 😉
