RE: 2 pɐǝɹɥʇ ʎʇıunɯɯoɔ - carlcockatoo - 11-29-2014

I worked black friday. Lots of people from high school noticed me and even though I like them individually it reminded me of how happy I am to be out of that environment once they got their things and left. >_>

Personally I've been trying to distance myself from all this consumerism shit. Not in an edgy 'fuck materialism' way. I'm okay with people buying shit they like (I am guilty), but not when so much of it just amounts to status symbols. My parents went out and bought so much shit for me that I never even asked for (they just came home with it one day); not because I needed it but because they were embarrassed that there are richer people than us with kids that have more. Just yesterday my dad was like 'you're getting a new phone whether you like it or not' and honestly I'd feel like shit running around with an iphone or something flaunting my wealth.

My dad comes home from work everyday and just looks at four million dollar houses and drools over them. When we first moved here he'd drive me around the richest area of the city for some 'quality time' and talk about 'this is what life is all about'. Today he was going on about how our 40 inch HD tv isn't good enough and he wants a 70 inch tv. wtf.

And of course we live in a $200,000 house with a pool (disgraceful) and he thinks we're lower-middle-class and always talks about how we need more money.

A lot of this is a repeated rant, but at least it's relevant. My point isn't to throw anyone under the bus and talk shit, but just that this type of materialism is so sad.


nice dream joel lol

Your house cost $200 grand?

Are they cheaper out there something? Because that's like a 2 bedroom 1 bath, and tiny kitchen sort of place around here. Small houses go for 300+ all the time in crappy areas


RE: 2 pɐǝɹɥʇ ʎʇıunɯɯoɔ - Grungie - 11-29-2014

Having an iphone isn't flaunting wealth bro.

Will is 3edgy5me

@phils some places are hella expensive when it comes to house prices than others.


RE: 2 pɐǝɹɥʇ ʎʇıunɯɯoɔ - carlcockatoo - 11-29-2014

Housing costs are really cheap in Tucson compared to other urban areas.

Plus we're just out in the middle of the desert in what is essentially a retirement community.

A house in the 'ghetto' here is around $60,000-$80,000.


RE: 2 pɐǝɹɥʇ ʎʇıunɯɯoɔ - WCPhils - 11-29-2014

Damn, I gotta live anywhere else :haha: Even apartments are expensive as hell

And yea man, a smartphone is pretty much standard at this point. If you don't want one that's cool, but literally no one is gonna think you're some rich a-hole because of having one :p


RE: 2 pɐǝɹɥʇ ʎʇıunɯɯoɔ - Grungie - 11-29-2014

It's just Will over thinking things again. I think the UG SJW crew is getting to him.

Speaking of that, we talked about racism and sexism stuff in Bootcamp, and they were able to talk about it in a mature fashion instead of the childish manner UG does it.


RE: 2 pɐǝɹɥʇ ʎʇıunɯɯoɔ - WCPhils - 11-29-2014

I actually didn't post there for two months and just went back this week. Kinda forgot how annoying it can be.


RE: 2 pɐǝɹɥʇ ʎʇıunɯɯoɔ - carlcockatoo - 11-29-2014

I am not 3edgy. Angel

Yeah I don't judge anyone for having a smartphone. But if the only reason I'm going to have one is because my parents/the general culture in this area wants me to play this character of a really rich guy who buys all the latest shit and talks down on every other area in the city (except the one or two areas richer than us) and circlejerks about how Ferguson protesters are 'fucking retarded' in the breakroom and tell your peers they must be stupid for not going to Princeton and having my entire life revolve around this attitude than yeah fuck that. It's more the symbolism I hate more than the actual object. Context is everything. I'm actually really cool with rich people who have a conscious and do good things with their money.


That actually does look really 3edgy but I've been thinking about this a lot today with it being black friday and all. >_>


RE: 2 pɐǝɹɥʇ ʎʇıunɯɯoɔ - Grungie - 11-29-2014

As someone who's moved all over the place, your place is weird as hell.

Or you're 3edgy5me

I enjoyed my UG break. It was nice not having to see "zomg look how open minded I am for not judging people by their race/gender and...
LOOK A CISGENDER CAUCASIAN MALE, YOU SHOULD Be ASHAMED THAT YOU ARE WHITE, GO CRY YOURSELF TO SLEEP BECAUSE OF YOUR PRIVIlEGE!!!!!"

Or Eastwinn and Lolmnt constantly reminding us how they respect women so much that they have to "remind" us every other post just in case we forgot.


RE: 2 pɐǝɹɥʇ ʎʇıunɯɯoɔ - WCPhils - 11-29-2014

Yea, I don't know if I come across as a jerk or something when you post. I don't think you're lying or anything. I just find some of things ridiculous because it's so different than how people act around here and it makes me laugh. Honestly it sounds exhausting so I get your frustration.
