    Because things have always been the way they are today.

    The point I’m making that you’re either ignoring or that you’re not understanding is that Rolex’s weren’t always so expensive, especially when you consider they’re mechanical and not digital, extract power from your wrist’s motion and have been known to run decades without any maintenance all in extreme conditions… and all that at a time when your cheap five dollar watch didn’t even fucking exist, and has never been able to replicate it’s endurance. Rolexes started as the affordable-but-reliable option and became the highly-valued, expensive pieces they are today because of their utility.

    Completely unlike lambo supercars, which have always been temu ferrari, and catered to a very select group of stupid people.

    that you think rolexes fail just demonstrates you don’t actually know what a rolex is, or who used them. and that’s okay. but don’t sit there and pretend like your $5 cheap piece of crap whose band will break inside a month is comparable. It’s laughably not.














  • CBS got pressured by a regulatory agency (federal communications commission) to not air Talarico’s interview under some bullshit (radio and public tv broadcasts are supposed to give “equal airtime” during elections to political rivals to avoid the partisan bullshit we see with our media.)

    Talarico is currently in a primary election for us senate in Texas (a primary is against other people in the same party, to decide who that parties nominee is)(his competitor, is Jasmine Crocket… who is an amazing woman, I’d be happy with either but I want Crocket.)

    He’s also a pastor who’s been calling out Christian nationalism and advancing fairly progressive causes., and scaring the shit out of people that are of a Nazis persuasion.

    So, CBS said they couldn’t air that segment.

    So instead Colbert dumped it on YouTube.

    The YT video has gotten 6.5 million views, which for perspective, they would have expected about 2 million if it aired.

    So this is another example of censorship going wrong.
