No ethical consumption under capitalism
- not useful
- people need to consume shit to live
Okay, what's your idea then dickhead?
- make what we do consume go as far as possible
- if shit breaks, try to repair it
- learn to sew
- get acquainted with a soldering iron
- use more fucking duck tape
- if you need something, look to see if you can bodge it together from shit you've got lying around
- shit you've got lying around also includes anything in poorly secured bins
I've just managed to put my finger on exactly why I like mechanical watches so much more than quartz
It's a symbiotic thing, the watch takes a little energy from you and in return it tells you what the time is
Feels a lot more like working together than with a quartz that just keeps ticking no matter what you do or don't do with it

Cool, doesn't really need one in my opinion, but cool
@vantablack honestly might be less tedious to just weave a patch from two different colours of gutted paracord
