Honestly though, this is a really frustrating part of early research where you keep having cool ideas that would have been incredible if they weren't already well known

For those of us who can risk it I agree. There are folks who are much more likely to be detained and for who detainment will be more costly....they should do whatever they need to to stay safe

AI schlock does just run together...it's a bunch of words that seem like they make sense as you read them, but don't combine in a coherent fashion, and it is SUPER DRAINING to comprehend. The words "feel" right, but the meaning behind them feels slippery and my brain just rolls off of them

And are very unwilling to revisit this opinion. It's actually an incredibly rich and deep game with a ton of parallels to real life. I'd go so far as to say that everyone should learn basic poker theory. Try to convince a bunch of people on the internet of that though...

I've experienced the other side of this. I'm a poker player. Poker is a very cool/beautiful game with much less degenerate gambling than most people think. The BBB taxes the shit out of poker players but nobody cares cuz they think it's "just gambling". Folks think poker == slots

But my POINT is: I think the example is maybe not a great one for folks that aren't into fashion already because there is an inaccurate association with the thing. I appreciate you owning up, but I also wanna say you made a not-unreasonable inference about a thing and just happened to be wrong!

To be fair, an 8k watch is maybe not a great choice as "expensive watch" is a textbook status symbol. But how about a $5k guitar, or, uhhhh, a $6k guitar (god I literally cannot think of what else I would spend money on).
