    “Okay?”

    I am not a friend of clever comebacks. People who point these things out are pathetic and people who get triggered by that only slightly less so.

    What’s my motivation? Is there a reason why I’m listening to Alec Baldwin brag about his watch? What’s stopping me from simply walking away?

    Can your watch play Bad Apple?

    Can your watch run Doom?

    Can you install Arch on that watch?

    … didn’t think so 😛

    You paid all that money for a watch that can’t do ANY cool stuff? You utter loser 🤣 🤣 🤣

    I guess it’s true, money can’t buy taste.

    Fun fact: Alec Baldwin’s character was invented for the movie to provide exposition. The filmmakers didn’t trust movie-going audiences to pick up the information from the three conversations that occur at the beginning of the play.

    I don’t have a car

    I don’t care to respond

    I don’t mind sounding poor.

    Wealth beyond what is good for you is no better than theft I’d say. Buying expensive watches while little children grow up in poverty is nothing to be proud of. If anyone should feel shame it should be that guy. Don’t be humiliated by such shameless assholes. And don’t try to counter attack, It won’t work, they don’t share your values, they feel no shame for the things that they do. Instead let’s organize and fight them where it hurts. Taxes, taxes, taxes.

    A shame, such a tasteless choice. If you had as much class as money, you’d have chosen something like a vintage 1960s submariner rather than a frivolous toy available on every high street in the world.

    All these comments are trying too hard. The only two options are “OK?” and “that watch?”

    Verbose disses only work in rap

      Alternatively, “And it’s a very nice watch.” Bonus points for riding the line between nonchalance and condescension while still being a compliment.

    Sad as fuck that you need expensive set pieces to maintain the facade of your self worth. If I were over here wearing a Timex I’d still be fine with who I was. Would you?
