I think the article’s closing is interesting and debatable. Giving credit to the Apple Watch for maintaining people’s interest in a wrist watch… everyone I know that wears an Apple Watch only wears the Apple Watch. But I guess I could give the benefit of the doubt that maybe they wear nicer watches on fancy occasions.

1. Electric toothbrush. When I don’t have it with me, brushing manually is such a chore. A device performs better than I do and I embrace it.

2. Prescription glasses. I remember getting to look at a tree with improved sight, and it was wonderful.

3. Air purifier. Has really helped my allergies.

Definitely, we use the Imperial system after all.

Honestly, the lack of activity here has quelled my watch lust. But every once in a while I come across a watch ad and read more on it.

What did you enjoy about r/watches?

For me, I liked sharing in the excitement of new and seasoned collectors–but especially the newbies. Occasionally there were cool back stories, and even people getting their small collection stolen and the community pitching in a variety of watches to get them started again. Although sometimes obnoxious, the circle jerk was amusing to have around.

Maybe I’ll figuratively get off my butt and post my 3 watch collection.

This reminds me of a few weeks ago when I came across a tennis-themes Timex Snoopy. I was seriously looking into it, but the Marlin base was crap quality according to reviews. So sad.

I’m putting myself in your shoes, like do I need it? No. But it’s neat! Bonus points to Seiko for the watch box looking like a Poke ball. Really cool purchase.

Beans is the magical fruit

I get to lay in a bed by myself, all of my life. It’s fantastic!

I was in Vegas last month. Uber/Lyft drivers are fed up too. One driver told me that he used to meet his goals by 11am. Because of F1 construction traffic, now he’s driving an extra 10-15 hours per day to meet those same goals. He’s gonna be out of town this F1 month, visiting a friend in another state to consider moving there.

Life is becoming worse for the residents, while the casinos get richer.

8th grade. A girl tells me in the presence of classmates, “I love youuuu.” I just think it’s a joke/prank so I reply, “I’m too young!” Later she privately asks me if I meant that. It didn’t click for me until high school.

Fresh out of an all-boys high school, so no interaction with girls since 8th grade. Freshman year college, fall semester. Classmate says she’s cold and hooks her arm in mine on the walk to lecture. This happens every day. Another classmate asks if we’re dating, and I say no, she’s just cold.

Same semester, same class, in a lab section, it’s warm. I ask my lab partner (different from arm girl) doesn’t she feel hot, why not take off her sweater. She looks at my and says, “I’m not wearing anything underneath.” Next day in lecture she’s dresssd up really nice and sits next to me.

Every day in this lecture these 3 girls sit with me. My high school buddy who’s also in the class tells me, while we’re studying, he thinks it’s hilarious that I’m surrounded by girls. I shrug it off.
