Why are you so boring? (to Tabris)

I once flew to NYC from Montreal, a 45 minute flight, so I could have dinner at Masa and flew back that same day.

Its a cool experience, but putting it on par with raising a person its on a much lower level. To me at least.

At the end of the day, you do what makes you happy.
Nothing beats having your son punch you in the mouth at a zoo 😭🙌🏻👌🏻
 
Also, replica Eames lounge? The legit white+ash one has a white enamel base. Rove Concepts, maybe, since they're based in Vancouver? They match the aesthetic but it's not nearly as comfortable as the real thing.

'Your apartment looks cheap. I have the REAL chair!'

Actually, you just need to make enough money to meet your baseline needs, and base your happiness on more than just making more money. Money can become an addiction.

Money can buy me tacos though, and that's how I measure my happiness
 
I'm just curious about what field he's planning to move in. He has a start-up. I met a dude earlier today in a meeting. His company is a start-up, he impressed the heck outta me. Thinking about signing with his service.
 
I don't think the problem is people with kids, it's people with kids and a median salary in a not very fulfilling job. At least based on my own acquaintances.

True,

With more money, then parents can hire nannies and such which frees up their time to do more interesting things.

Thread turned out as I thought. I agree with you tabris, I find people who talk about their kids boring as well, but hey they chose that life and more power to them.

My friends are at that age now that they have young kids so don't go out, don't travel or do anything interesting.

There's no right or wrong answer though, some people want different things and have different priorities.
 
My cat scratched mine. Now it sits with a $10 bed sheet covering it :/ I haven't sat on it in 2 years.

But is yours the real thing? Cause if not then its probably not nearly as comfortable....

Either way, the fact that this went from Tabris saying 'I think parents are kind of boring' to Evilore saying 'Oh yeah? Well your chair is fake!' is real real silly

One makes low end six figures, the other 7 plus.
 
Bronson Tabris doesn't exist in a vacuum. He has a long history here, and that's why people are all over him.

I also once thought he couldn't be that bad. I was wrong.
 
Tabris brags about that chair all the time. The fact that it's fake is absolutely hilarious.

The only times I've seen him bring it up is when people ask him about 'that stupid ass chair that's way too long' in his apartment

that may or may not be a direct quote from me

Yeah I'm aware of this shit, and it excuses nothing. There are clearly lines being crossed here.

I mean, just the fact that people across the breadth and width of this forum are familiar with the inside of his condo says something about how annoying the guy is.
 
Plot twist: all of Tabris' friends are actually just checking up on him to make sure he's OK and doesn't do anything drastic. They secretly have a roster and take turns.
 
Ah ok fair enough. I've only seen the lounges for sale here so I'm not that familiar with the other ones.

Maybe it's because I spent the first several years of my life in a trailer just above the poverty line.

But the though of spending five grand on a chair is just ludicrous to me. Like, that's a YEARS rent for some people. Just nuts, I don't care how comfy it is, that's ridiculous money on a freaking chair and footrest.

Anyway just a small tangent.
 
Yeah it's getting pretty gross in here. Dude is kinda superficial, who gives a shit? Such a weird mob mentality over such a minor quibble he has with married people.

It's a case of don't start none won't be none.

It's not like someone made a thread calling him out - dude made a thread calling out parents for beeing boring and then followed it up with post after post of horseshit, of course it all went south for him in here.

The thought of spending five grand on anything that didn't significantly improve my life is utter madness

And that chair would not do that

I agree it's a total waste of money. I have sat on mine for a grand total of maybe 10 times in the last 4 years. Since I got my cat, I haven't used it since. I'm way too worried she will destroy it so I drape a sheet over it. A pointless purchase for me all round but I think when I move house it might get some use again.
 
The pumpkin spice latter reply is the best.

It includes a promo video for a coffee place for no reason at all. A photo of his condo for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, and just tons of pretentiousness. Followed by, I don't really like coffee anyway, in a subsequent post.

Wow. As others have said, you're either aware of how you come across and don't care, or you're fully unaware. Not sure which is worse. Either way you should strive to correct it. It's a massive turn off and hindrance to acceptance. And don't say you don't want it. These threads exist to get attention and allow you to discuss your personal life. They're designed that way. That's obvious.

In a sense I understand you. I like the finer things. I come from money and I have it, maybe not as much you, maybe more. Its irrelevant and I dont care. I grew up in Greenwich Village to a father who's a psychoanalyst to many famous people from various walks. Which is simply so you understand my background. I've attended awesome events, traveled far and wide, been to the finest dining establishments, courtside seats, hanging with athletes after games blablabla. See? I'm on "your level". I've partied, a LOT, with a lot of really attractive women (by most people's standards, obviously taste isn't universal) and I've lived that bachelor life with a tidy well designed condo filled with nice things and zero financial concern or any responsibility beyond: who am I hanging out with tonight? And what restaurant should I go to? Every single fucking night, with a bunch of friends who did it too. Whole weeks of closing out local hotspots until 5am with staff because we knew the owners, waitresses, bartenders. It was fantastic and I regret nothing. It ended at 27. I'm around your age now.

I hit a point where, and I think this is personal to everyone rather than a specific age, I wanted more. Or less, depending on perspective. I guess you see it as less. I settled down with a great girl. She's sexy to me for a bunch of different reasons beyond just the physical. Her job (a nurse, helping people, caring), her tolerance of my eccentricities, all the little things she does, including the imperfections like leaving her clothes all over the bathroom floor constantly and messing up my well organized spaces (again, I understand you) because its exasperating yet adorable etc etc etc. We find the right one eventually. Most of us. Not everyone, and that's fine too... but regardless of relationship status you eventually settle. You calm down. Priorities shift. It doesn't become all about you anymore. You wanna make her/him happy. Or you wanna make your kid happy. You want to make your friends feel welcome and happy too, one reason we love hosting is the satisfaction we get from that. Seeing our friends kids eyes light up because they know we included them in the planning, its amazing. We love them like if they were our own. You want a family maybe too, then. Most of my friends have kids now and we still see them. Its less frequent but we have a blast, even if its different. They arrive early and leave earlier, yep. Their kids come. We play with them. We have fun. We dont get hammered and have spontaneous bar parties except for maybe 2-3 times a year. We want kids, and that's coming soon. You adapt to evolving personalities, priorities, lifestyles and friendships.

I'm not gonna say "grow up" because you aren't ready yet, or may never be, like I said... I think it's personal to everyone and not a set number. But I will say maybe grow up with how you present yourself. Or how much attention you seem to require. Ego stroking. Why? Get rid of your "boring" friends and find a new younger crowd with matching priorities and desires for now, or adapt to the omes you do have instead of the other way around. Find some common ground. Understand their side of things. Trust me when I say they don't all secretly envy you and want your life. I know I don't. I'm happy setting up on Sunday to do a full day of week prep-cooking and cleaning and then watching TV. I'm happy doing it on a Friday or Saturday even! Reading in bed. Discussing what shows were watching. Games were playing, books were reading, songs we like... it's different, bit its not horrible at all. You'll see.

And please leave out the condescending little smiley/winky face at the end of the one line reply. Come on now.

TL;DR: I can relate and understand but shit changes and you're not making any effort to "get it".
