      There’s also the $389 Hekken-Rigucci leather rucksack she’s sporting, and the $430 Antonio Vespa sunglasses.

      Those don’t seem to have the yellow stitching that Docs do. The heel looks just a little too high to be “regular” combat boots. The way the tongue bends suggests cheap synthetic material, rather than leather. If you go to amazon and search for “vegan combat boots” you’ll find a lot of cheaply-made fashion boots for under $50, I’m guessing it’s something like that.

    If only there were other reasons to wear a mask like empathetic hygiene or protecting one’s identity.

    No, must be a corporate thing.

    I once built a fully functional iPad 2 from totally scrap parts meant to be thrown away at the repair shop I used to work for. Then sold it for $100, as if I’d ever use anything from Apple!

    Yes, that’s how wasteful our current system is. There were enough spare parts to literally build an entire functional device, but I was told to take those parts out to the dumpster.

    I was like fuck that, I’m keeping these particular parts at least. And no, the logic board wasn’t iCloud locked. After cleanup and assembly, it was just as good as an iPad that might have only been used for around 2 months.

    Dumpster parts or usable parts? Welp, $100 for me, from junk parts restored to perfectly working condition. WINNING!

    Edit: Screw Apple and their extravagantly overpriced shit, and especially screw the whole planned obsolescence era!

    I mean, a lot of furries are anti-capitalist but will still spend thousands of dollars at furcons. That said, in that specific case, the money is going back into the community and not to Apple.

    I was going to post the “you live in society” meme, but I’ll put in the same amount of effort as op and not bother.
