They live with 2 roommates

"roommates"

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago

In some places, rents are quoted weekly...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

Mine is $760, but i also live in a tiny town about 2 hours away from the closest metro with over a million people. But Toledo is only 45 minutes away if you wanna wild out on a Saturday night

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Ours is 800/mo. 3 bedroom. Minor metro area - less than a million.

Never ever wrap a ziptie around a limb or anywhere on your body.

[–] [email protected] 59 points 5 months ago

Not for safety reasons, but because you’d be forfeiting $700 in profit by not selling it to some brain dead one-percenter.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 5 months ago

Yes. Let the officer do that for you.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Unless you spent $700 on it. Then you should wrap it as tight as you can, preferably around your neck

[–] [email protected] 24 points 5 months ago

It's called fashion, sweetie. Look it up.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 5 months ago (2 children)

$800 for a fuckin' zip tie?

Shiiiiit. I got some red ones lying around. I could make bank.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

You should honestly try it

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No, the red ones are the cheap ones.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Discount then, only $300

Hey now, those are safety pins. Which fully explains the exorbitant price.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Whenever I get to know brands like these I wonder how many $800+ clothes I have unknowingly seen on people that I just thought of "damn, that's ugly." and went on with my day.

Made from 100% brass 😂

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

It probably was but some idiot probably fell for it, like QAnon, and Flat Earth.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 5 months ago

It's just like any other scam: find gullible people, convince them that what you're selling is for some reason worth what you're asking, trade them shit for gold, repeat.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 5 months ago

Is this how marketing works?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 5 months ago

This is 100% money laundering.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Tell me you live with your mother and have no bills without telling me you live with your mother and have no bills, there aint nowhere rent is that cheap.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

My rent is lower than that in Arkansas

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Well...here it is... It's a small city and for a flat but that converted to EUROS is more or less the rent. That said not a lot of flats to choose from and they are old.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago

It being expensive makes it a scam, not fashion.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Where the fuck you gonna find rent for 800 bucks!?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Psh, with three roommates; duh.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

I wish rent was that cheap

[–] Honytawk 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

So wait, you can't take them off again?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago

This is on purpose in order to increase scarcity. Supply and demand, bro. Follow my newsletter for more NFT investment tips.

I see Neal Page has diversified from shower curtain rings

Ziptie can replace a belt.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago (2 children)

If you can get a ziptie around your waist, you're already dead.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago (2 children)

If you can't get this ziptie around your waist, you're probably going to die soon

McMaster is where I get all my fashion products

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

McMaster must be a french clothng brand. Wow this engine manifold would match my shoes perfectly

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Holy shit that's awesome. I love McMaster.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You don't need to get it around your whole waist, you just need to connect two loops.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Veblen’s corpse just leaked some ejaculate.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Your wallet is about to be ambushed

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago
