        I love the conditional love of my kibby. Conditional love is great when the conditions are easy to fulfill.
        1: feed me
        2: water me
        3: scoop my poops
        4: love me, but not too much

    Watches, sadly. There some beautiful pieces, and somehow the industry figured out how to ask for a house’s worth of money for some of them

      Some magnificent pieces can be had for “only” used cars prices.

        The one i have and love the most originally would have cost as much as my first car 15 years ago :D

      I got this for $70 online. It’s from china and probably isn’t well made but I absolutely love watching the little wheel go back and forth

      it’s sooo pretty!

      (I messed it up the 2nd timezone when daylight savings time happened lol)

        It is indeed pretty! :) Is it mechanical?

        For 70 bucks, though, i would be hesitant. I just can’t imagine finding a mechanic to fix it if need be, or what kind of shortcuts they had to make to create it.

        Is that a moonphase display on the top there though?

          thank you :)

          Is it mechanical?

          uhhh I know there is kinda some different definitions for the word “mechanical” so I’ll describe what it does.
          It needs to be winded, but there’s a little weight on the back that spins as you move your arms. As the thing spins it winds the watch automatically
          IIRC that feature is called “automatic”

          For $70 I don’t expect to wear it for years and years, but I haven’t had any issues yet. When it eventually breaks I’m gonna try to fix it myself and probably fail haha

          The moon thing just shows approximately how long the sun will be up, it doesn’t have the full cycle :/

          but I got it for mostly looks and it definitely fulfills its purpose :)

            Then it’s definitely mechanical! The main difference is if there is a spring drive in it that helps it tick away, or there is a quartz mechanism that (as it vibrates on a frequency) ticks the clock forward every second. So unless there is a battery in it that would vibrate the quartz, it is mechanical. This is the best way i can explain it.

            But it’s pretty nice it didn’t fall apart in a few months. if you had it for years, i think it’s awesome! :)

    there is a pocket star trek novel i can’t find a physical copy for less than 100 US dollars called “a stitch in time”. for some reason they won’t reprint it (they released an audiobook recently but i don’t personally like reading books that are not physical paper books).

      Yeah, my copy is in decent condition, and I’ve had offers of 200 for it.

      Alas, I’m a giant geek and refuse to sell it

      TIL those are out of print and valuable. Most of mine were ex-library copies bought for 50¢ each. I guess I should have kept getting them more diligently, since it sounds like now it would be difficult for me to complete my collection.

    My wife wanted an ice maker. Thought it a silly idea but indulged her nonetheless. Well, turns out I freaking love it. Well worth the investment in my opinion

    • Same, I even had a fridge that included one and I never bothered to hook it up, I thought it was stupid because it took up valuable freezer space. Then one day I rented an apartment that had one and found out that boy was I ever wrong, living in a tropical country these things are an absolute godsend.

    10,000 acres of land in the northern mountains, with all associated rights (mineral, water, etc.).

    I really, really, really don’t want to have neighbors. I already live in a rural area, and I still have neighbors 1/4 mile away that blast their music at 11pm loud enough to make out the lyrics. I want to be able to see the stars at night with no light pollution, and see wildlife that’s barely seen people.

    A maid. I really don’t like cleaning. I’m not very good at it, I miss a lot of things, I don’t have the attention span, etc. I do it because I have to. I don’t want to live in squalor but gosh, it would be nice to have somebody cleaning my house for me even if it’s just once a month.
