Especially the communities and forums that spread awareness about addictions in general, most of them are young kids and adults spreading awareness and trying to improve their lives and I love that.

It’s my Brit humor… :wink:

Didn’t want to go down the rabbit hole, but …NASA is also launching sounding rockets to shoot into the moon’s shadow during the Eclipse as well… :roll_eyes:

NASA to Launch Sounding Rockets into Moon’s Shadow During Solar Eclipse. NASA will launch three sounding rockets during the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024 , to study how Earth’s upper atmosphere is affected when sunlight momentarily dims over a portion of the planet.

Luxury items are called “luxury” for a reason.
And they are expensive for a reason.
They are not meant to be affordable for everyone and to be worn by everyone.
They are intended to be “exclusive”.

Wearing fakes means lying to yourself about your financial situation and about your abudance mindset.

And buying authentic luxury items while you are actually broke, means simply being bad at personal money management.

Buy it when you can actually afford it.

Until then, wear what you can afford.

And if you are confident enough to admit to others that you are wearing something fake, then you already have the confidence to wear regular stuff and not feel bad about yourself.

Sometimes a 4 € tshirt can give others the impression that you are wearing a 200 € tshirt, if you wear it with confidence.

I like gen z a lot for all the reasons Dr. Manhattan listed. The only thing I am not a fan of is the brocoli hairstyle.

In terms of fashion, luxury goods are not meant to be exclusive so much as they are meant to signal exclusivity. The money is made by getting the upper middle class to purchase that signaling. Counterfeiting/knock-offs are often an important means to bring awareness of the brand to that larger monied group. That group monies will make sure that theirs is the authentic product—with a certificate!!—eventually LV logos are everywhere, and the exclusivity cycle must start anew.

Edited for clarity.

Another totally unrelated, coincidental name.

Yeah man… it’s just that people have confirmation bias…

I learned a new German word today.

“Verböserung”

…which means per exact translation the “the Evilening of something” (meaning something “becoming more evil than before”) :laughing:

This is a real official word in the German Tax Law system :rofl: :rofl: :joy:

(“Reformatio in peius” in jurisdicial Latin)

Link for German speaking folks.
