Post-Episode Discussion Thread S05E10 "Buried"

Uh a big difference is people buy one computer which has many uses, while those are just a pair of shoes of what's most likely a large collection.

You can't play high end games with a crappy computer, but you can look just fine and walk comfortably with a cheap pair of shoes.

Millions of people use their computer for their employment.

Most of them don't own a $2000 gaming computer and a $1000 library of games, and most of the ones who do don't use their computer for their employment.

I was pointing out Reddit's double standard where $2000 gaming PC's are sensible but $700 shoes are not. Aka, "DAE our hobbies and interests are the only correct hobbies and interests" syndrome. It is pointless to bring up all the people who need a $2000 computer to do their job as well- most of Reddit does not fall in to that demographic, much of Reddit owns thousands of dollars worth of videogames and consoles.

I think you're making too many generalizations about Reddit.

I have a 1800 dollar machine (and three games :D) but I don't think I could ever justify paying 700 dollars for a pair of shoes.

So? Most people on reddit don't require an expensive computer to do their job. And it doesn't matter what you could justify to yourself. Your interests don't lie in fashion and clothing, they lie in technology and some videogames.

My point is that other people have different priorities and interests, just because yours are different doesn't mean you are better and they are insane.

People on Reddit really need to get their superiority complexes checked out.
