@goosehd sounds like you were really struggling in that island paradise.

[Matt]

Maybe they make it tough on purpose to try to persuade you to put your phone down. I’m considering throwing mine in the trash.

[SKT]

@Matt I have this conversation with myself daily

[goosehd]

I was smart for the most part and only checked my phone twice a day…looking at the news was depressing and this place was my solace.

I was just worried I’d be missing provocative pictures of feet in the latest shoe fashions or @Giles up to no good…

[Matt]

It’s ridiculous now. All the news is bad unless it’s about monkeys and I can’t tell the difference between the bot created content and people. And the things I do enjoy typically lead me to spend money.

[Matt]

Yeah. My feed’s give me lots of celebrity feet pics. I guess that what you get for opening one… or twelve.

[Matt]

And saving them.

[goosehd]

If @Alex wanted to make a shit ton of money, he’d start charging fees to view the shoe threads…

Start a mirror site only fans Ironheart forum for the depraved…

Hey, I just want to say I really appreciate the IH peeps, the moderators, and the overall community and mutual respect here. Everyone wears things differently and likes different stuff, and that’s part of what makes it good.

I spent half my day bored going back and forth with someone on Reddit, not even on a watch sub, and they were telling me I’m wearing mine wrong, which is just silly. I know some people wear them higher, that’s fine. I really don’t care how anyone wears their stuff. If you want to strap your watch around your neck like a choker, go for it. I couldn’t care less.

That’s what’s so refreshing about coming here. You don’t open the page and see a bunch of people talking crap about what you posted.

Thanks!

I FUCKING hate it when people tell you how to wear something. It has fuck all to do with them. What level of arrogance must they have to believe how you wear something is better than how you choose to? All that matters is that you feel comfortable in yourself and in your peer group. End of.

[NickD]

Exactly. Wear something in a way that makes you comfortable. I wear some watches higher on my wrist, some lower. It depends on the watch.

[StarsSuck]

@Giles ok I'll ask: what was the unsolicited instruction that inspired the rant? People love giving advice, no more so than when they are exceedingly unqualified.

[goosehd]

@StarsSuck it was @northsouthdenimguy experience on Reddit

One post above his.

[StarsSuck]

@goosehd ah. Reddit explains it.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@NickD some people like their watches baggy like their pants, dowhatchalike...

[northsouthdenimguy]

not to beat a dead horse, but I will anyway. Another thing people don’t always understand is that everyone’s anatomy is different. My ulnar styloid doesn’t really protrude at all, so I actually wear my watch right on top of it rather than above it. With a larger watch, it probably looks like it’s sitting way down on my wrist below the bone, but it’s not. I can see why people wear it above if they have a noticeable protruding bone as it’s probably uncomfortable to be on it or even below it
