Let's just all agree that you're completely full of it, intentionally or not. Buy $500 shoes b/c they're pretty, but stop trying to justify your purchases by playing the durability angle. Thank you.

As I read your posts and ponder the inner turmoil that must rack your soul, I silently weep and thank my lord and savior that my wardrobe does not include any of the god awful **** that you routinely wear.

I hear you. It's not enough for people to simply say "I (don't) like it, so I (don't) buy it." They have to come up with sometimes asinine, overly complex rationalizations to make it seem like they're making the only logical choice. If you take care of them, then even cheap, leather shoes can last for a long time.

Welted shoes can be as comfortable as any other shoe so long as they are sized correctly.

(Wait, why am I contributing to this...)

I just went to that website. What a tragically incurious person. Somebody please delete this thread.

Never seen anything quite like that website. Some odd and even troubling content.

Yes, I realize there is an institutional problem with overmedication these days but this guy was a textbook case of where ssri meds would've helped.

And it's gross to use him as some sort of exemplar for buying shoes.

The Food Section was particularly tragic.


There is a reason pizza is the most popular food on the planet.
Pizza contains sugar, salt, and fat.
These are substances the human brain loves and craves.

If you love Tartare with wasabi and caviar
or confit with coulis and beets, it's b/c you're a puppet who has been conditioned to say it's tasty.

Precisely why is the conditioning of culture inferior to the conditioning of (apparently low-class) biology, thou pasty glob of tweedledumbpling?

i can appreciate what OP is saying. Im still wearing underwear from 2000 and ive been perfectly happy ever since. so anyone buying new underwear are just a bunch of corporate hacks who are brainwashed by underwear commercials. im perfectly content with torn, frayed, hole tattered underwear.

edit-and who cares if i can no longer get the **** stains out, no one can see it anyways

I was trying to see if the answer was somewhere on the website but I couldn't stand to read another page of his ******* drivel
