Phil Tries To Justify the Money He Wastes On Non-Essentials -

[Thetan]

Phil obviously didn't read the article before posting, or he missed this bit:

People who are among the poorest one-fifth of Americans tend to spend their money on immediate needs such as food, utilities and housing, all of which have gotten more expensive.

Tattoos, leather bondage gear, and bike accessories (which are useless since the idiot doesn't own a bike) don't fall into the category of immediate needs.

Yeah because shitty tattoos help Phil.

This means that poor people are more likely to buy 20$ shoes that'll fall apart in two months instead of $60 ones that will last a year. Not that poor people will buy tattoos instead of paying rent.

Yea that's what this kind of story means (the recent one on the BBC Mag is fantastic btw) a lot of people havent got the money to eat let alone save money for durable goods (ironically in places where 100% of hooves bondage kit is made by people who even if they wanted it couldn't afford it) if I had a choice shooes for £20 that last me 2 months then fall apart or go shoeless I am getting the cheep boots every time, food or boots I'm going shoeless.

Then again considering this story was shared by a man who just spent $12 on 12 fucking dates it's the epitome of Clicktavisim that hooves an Co are so fond of.

 

[Stress Sigh]

It's like Phil is the epitome of the feel good slackitvism that plagues our generation even though he's in his 30s.

Just to be aware, Wal-Mart shoes used to be much better quality than they are now. The quality has diminished in favour of cost, but the prices have also gone up.

It irritates me when customers argue with me that their Dr. Scholl's sneakers are the best quality, even tho they don't have much traction and just feel like slippery plastic with no real foot support.

Now Obese Phil is responding to this thread by mentioning the boots he payed $300 for 2 years ago. Of course he could have just skipped the tattoo parlors, he could have gotten a job instead rather than living as a white homeless man trying to impersonate a woman with Latino Heritage.

The UK arm of wallmart (ASDA) have been using the same supply chain for years and I know some one who works for them and they won't even consider the clothing from Asda they have had to stock things that are really unfit for sale the shoes are amongst the worst offenders.

There are poor people who give priority to spending money on essentials, and who also buy some non-essentials on the side. Phil "paid hundreds on a monthly phone bill" Delici is not one of them.

That may be the case for some people but Phil proves that it is not universal

 

[Lemon Vagina]

None of us are saying "poor people can't have nice things". Hell, I'm pretty sure a bunch of us are poor as fuck. But there's a difference between buying yourself something nice when you can and spending all your money on shitty tattoos and fast food.

 

[Thetan]

Typical Phil cognitive dissonance: posts an article in some sort of an attempt to claim solidarity with poor people, then posts a pic of his almost $300 hiking boots.

Of course, he'd rather try to scam food and sleeping space off unsuspecting victims rather than spend the money he's got earmarked for 'essentials' (like shitty tattoos).

Spoiler

You can get a very decent/serviceable pair of boots at an army navy store for less than $100, and you'll get a good couple of years out of them.

 

[The Dude]

Phil's overpriced yuppie boots are nothing. I've got a pair of motorcycle boots that I've had since high school that are still in great shape 16 years later. I didn't even spend half what Phil spent on his hippie clodhoppers.

Shoes tend to last a real long time when you don't walk very much. How's that free bus pass treating you Phil?

 

[Lemon Vagina]

Agreeing with the army boots thing. I've had a pair for about ten years now that are still in good shape- even from walking almost every day. Iirc they were about £70?

But I guess military surplus is for the EVIL CIS MENZ and Phil loves his premium goods too much.

ADF really is a brand whore. How is that supposed to coincide with his little red book? That's one of my favorite things about him... None of what he spergs about does he practice in reality.

He also has the childish notion that if something costs more that means it's better.

 

[Adamska]

So going back to how Phil's boots, I'm still laughing at how much money he threw down a hole for them considering how mediocre they are for the price. Mainly because I have ridiculously huge feet (size 1, and my sneakers still only cost about 60 or so dollars. The sneakers I've used for about five years on a pretty regular basis, and whose biggest sign of wear is the back heel lost some edged rubber. Hell, I have a pair of boots myself, and in spite of having giant feet, they only cost a shade over 100 dorrah. This dumb fuck really is only homeless because he can't handle money.

It must be treating him well; he walks so little and eats so much shitty fastfood that sitting and breathing are getting difficult for him nowadays.

Seems like a lot of spergs fall into that mental trap. Dobbo, DSP, Phil...
