I know I have no say in this, but we should propose a new rule for this thread to explain your reasoning on why something is deemed conformity. If I just say “short shorts” that gives you nothing on why it is conformity. I could wear short shorts for non-conformist reasons “because it was the only pair of shorts that weren’t in the laundry.” Vs “I want to fit in with the female fashion industry.” Short shorts on men are somehow now deemed wrong but are acceptable for women to wear. Maybe this new standard will helps us to keep this thread more organized. Am I asking for conformity here?? Oh, the irony! 😆

Buying a Rolex or Omega Seamaster. It is conformity because these luxury watches are “jewelry for men”. The watch does nothing but tell time and you are paying thousands of dollars for the same quality and functionality as a $200 watch. Also, Garmin watches have more functionality and health metrics they would actually be worth spending $1000 on.

I just bought the Garmin Tactix 8. I will post about it once it arrives. It was $1500 USD, but it has many health metrics and functionality that I care about.

Awesome! Great looking watch!!

I currently use the Garmin Instinct 2x Solar and have been using it for the past year and it’s awesome! I am in the market for an upgrade and was wanting to know what kind of watch you all use. Please post the watch that you use and why you like it. I was considering upgrading to the Garmin Fenix 8 or Tactix 8 or waiting until the next gen (Fenix/Tactix 9) comes out. I am planning on getting into more adventure stuff like scuba diving and skydiving, so it seems to fit for me to upgrade. I don’t mind spending $1,000 on a watch as long as it has good functionality, health metrics, and quality. Rolex watches are an overpriced scam.

Your nap is imaginary. You never napped in your life.

This can be conformity if you are doing this without thought to fit in, but I feel like a lot of people do this not to fit in but rather to cut to the chase and save time. It is like saying “as soon as possible” is conformity. Asap is just the shorthand way of communication. You aren’t doing this to fit in. Same with ROI and others.

I wouldn’t say this is conformity. Attraction is outside of your control. It is like saying being gay or straight is conformity.

Yes but no hotels are questioning why they are setting it at that time. They are setting it at that time to conform to the hotels around them and to customer expectations. I don’t see a problem having a hotel that has 6pm check in and a 2pm checkout or a noon checkin and an 8am checkout. The standard isn’t questioned and is done without thought. The same with 8am-5pm workdays. And working 5 days a week. We could very well change these times and work less days per week but businesses conform with each other because it’s the norm. Hotels and business in general is about extracting as much money out of the customer and worker as humanly possible.

Hotels having check-in at 3:00pm and checkout at 11:00am.

I would say evil is deliberately and knowingly harming a life whereas stupidity is unknowingly, ignorantly harming life. Many voters elect evil out of stupidity, but they aren’t near the same level of evil as those in power.

What do you think of the video?

@Leo Gura What lead to your decision to not having kids. I remember I used to struggle with not having clarity on this decision and my ex left me because of it. I have gained clarity that I don’t want kids. But that was after a ton of visualization and contemplation as well as observing other parents and children. It isn’t for me. I am selfish and I value my freedom.
