When you pay for your kid to go to private school and buy him expensive watches, but he doesn't know how to make words plural because inheritance

AnomynousUser (01/08/2016) [-] Would he have been able to fit another word in there? I've never used that app, so I don't know if there are character limits...

AnomynousUser (01/08/2016) [-] I'm pretty sure the most proper way would be to say Rolex watches.
#242 to #241
-
AnomynousUser (01/08/2016) [-] I was originally thinking Rolex's, but looked it up and apparently proper nouns don't use apostrophes like acronyms do. But I'm still pretty sure just using the brand name followed by the object would be the safest and easiest (Rolex watches).
#249 to #245
-
AnomynousUser (01/08/2016) [-] But it's defined as a brand by any other website dictionary.reference.com/browse/rolex and making it plural would mean multiple brands. But when people say it as "I bought a Rolex" it's using Rolex as an object rather than brand, so I think it doesn't really matter what you use as it can be used two ways to mean the same thing.

Yeah. The rich man probably didn't have a bullet in his head and a gun on the ground beside him.
I'm actually going "coffin shopping" next week. Pick which highway I wanna be thrown beside in a few years. It's gotten trickier lately because of all the road work. Makes it hard to know what's gonna stick around. But nothing beats a little whistle-while-you-work optimism.

I get this faint feeling that we've hit a miscommunication. I was joking about killing myself because I'm poor.
Not being shot because I'm poor, and also stealing a tv from an apartment at 2am. But I did see the connection. I can't thumb you up to nuetral, but I'll hit you up at least one step closer, ya dig?

They do actually. Examine the wrists, as bones often hold clues to the primary work of the decedent. Bony ridges form where the muscles were attached and pulled over the years. A forensic anthropologist might find a bony ridge on the wrist and decide the dead person may have been someone who used their hands for a living, such as a chef or seamstress.Or they just liked to jerk it.

I'm assuming you are joking and all that, but to anyone that does not know: Your bones do change with hard labor or even with menial jobs where you have to do something repetitive for hours on end. Hell just constantly typing day in and day out will alter you a bit.

lean (01/07/2016) [-] Because high end vodka is so much better in your fruity mixed drinks. Bunch of idiots.

lean (01/08/2016) [-] It really isn't though. The best vodkas are barely tolerable in a straight shot. The process of distillation and filtration removes the head and tail off the vat right from the still. These components contain the flavorants in whiskey and rum. This clean process leaves you with a "clean" spirit. Hitting that 40% ABV mark is tricky. Higher end bands will have near this right from the still, usually resulting in a less caustic burn on the palate. Cheap vodkas buy distilled ethanol at 98% ABV and cut it with water, thus the harsh chemical smell and burn.
TLDR vodka is made to taste like simply alcohol, where other liquors like rum and whiskey use aging and whole body distillation to create unique blends of flavors.

quantumranger (01/08/2016) [-] It's even more retarded when you realize they aren't drinking it because they actually like it. They're drinking to get drunk just like everyone else, but think they are better because it costs thousands of dollars instead of less than a hundred to get white girl wasted. And I'm sure that's the type of drunk they all are

sedativechunk (01/08/2016) [-] Now I am not the "1%" but I have had a moderately good life in terms of making income in my twenties, and I have bought some pricier liquors out there. I can tell all of you that I don't see much of a difference between $10 vodka and $100 vodka.
The only place you may notice a difference in is with aged liquors, thinks like wine and whiskey. Also certain rums I like aged. I haven't noticed a difference with tequila, vodka, and other liquors.

Well, tbf there's a big difference between something like Glenn's and Grey Goose. One tastes like paint thinner and one tastes like vodka.

lankou ONLINE (01/08/2016) [-] Thats actually more of a wine thing specifically chianti .... Ethylene Glycol is actually very sweet its out of place in vodka. Thats why they put the massive warning labels on it because kids will drink it.
Also your first part is very very true for mid shelf to high self, cheap vodka tastes like cheap vodka, but you can dramaticly improve it with just a simple filtration (theres a myth busters episode on it me thinks didn't become a high end but became much much better)

Ethylene Glycol will also crystallize in your Kidneys and send you screaming into Renal Failure
however, Polyethylene Glycol has no taste and will send you screaming into diarrhea....

sgtmajjohnson (01/07/2016) [-] All luxury items are ******** . It's paying 40 times as much for roughly equivalent products. Alcohol in particular has issues with this: wine tasters named a $5 bottle of night train wine to be the best from amongst a blind sampling that included incredibly valuable French wines. Either way, these all seem incredibly like forced jokes, so I don't think almost any of these are real.

midgettitwank ONLINE (01/08/2016) [-] i completely agree but also paying more for something means that you perceive it to taste nicer

sirlorge (01/08/2016) [-] In Guadalajara, there's the regular buses that cost 6 or 7 pesos that are always full and 3 or 4 will pass before you can squeeze into one.
OR there's the "expensive" ones that cost 12 pesos or 20 pesos for a double ticket. Those are never this full, but since december won't let anyone be standing in the aisles so they never stop either unless you're already like an hour late or waiting within 5 stops of its terminal. I got to school an hour late today, for example.

I won't blame you for being rich, just don't be a **** . Looks like you might already be ok so far.

severepwner (01/08/2016) [-] There's no point generalizing over a whole spectrum of people we've never met. It's quite assumptive and unwise for us to despise people for simply being born inside an ivory tower.
Give them a chance, or they will never have reason to give us a chance either. Class hatred is petty, and dated.

undeadmaus (01/08/2016) [-] I used to go to a private school. It wasn't terribly expensive but a lot of the people there came from seriously rich families. I eventually transferred to a public school but I still knew all those private school people, and so did many other people I knew. I lived in the middle class suburbs of my city and driving just a bit more outwards took you to the really rich suburbs so pretty much everyone knew someone rich. Even now I have a really close friend in a private college where most of the people are filthy ******* rich. I've spent enough time around them. No they're not all like that but there's definitely a lot of them that are.

It's just rage-bait. Like those infographics you get of Da Joos.
In reality, even communism isn't about lining people like that up and shooting them. It's focused on the system they happen to be in, rather than the people themselves. It is understood that they're just people like everyone else, even if they're annoying.

MFW my parents both work 12 hours a day I have a part time job, and we're eat stale bread while we're trying to pay for my college because I can't get a scholarship because I'm white so I can't get race scholarship I'm male so I can't get a gender scholarship, while my parents technically work for less then minimum wage (because it's a set pay not hourly and an hourly minimum would add up to more then the set wage they have) they technically early to much to be counted as poor but it doesn't account for the absurd taxes we have to pay (Obamacare made our premium triple over night we've had to switch our healthcare 3 times in the last 2 years) I was set up to get a scholarship but got bumped off because of my GPA even though I raised one whole point in one year and put me on the deans list (I didn't realize I needed a certain GPA for it until SR year because it didn't say it on the original scholarship post I didn't find out until I went to the office to turn it in the summer before school. .
and then there's these **** faces.

Ex- 1% here. This kind of thing makes me mad. I used to live in a third world country where society is still very retrograde, my family was one of the 1% there. We had maids and **** . And because you are raised that way you never really stop to think about how lucky you really are to be able to live a comfortable life. I'd sit and have breakfast with the maid every morning and she d tell me about how hard her life is. I started realizing that it was inhumane the difference between us two. How i dragged going to private school where i was getting the best education available while she worked her ass off to send her daughter to a public one in which her chances of graduating were about 51%. My family moved away, and my father's company went bankrupt. I had 6 different jobs that year, even selling pictures on the street, and as a maid for a rich family in Manhattan. And i truly understood what a prick i had been. Now things are fine, but we all agreed to pay for the daughter of the that girl that used to work for us to the college she got into (the best where i am from) and help them have a better, happier life instead of focusing on us. Do they really need 8 rolex? I dont think so. (pic sorta related)
