should I get this? Its kind of expensive for a pencil. Mine was only $100.
Id rather get more aligator shoes with the $900.
I wouldn't spend more than 40 bucks on a pen, pencil, knife that I can't test out. The one I had was just plated, but it was quite old and you could tell it was hand crafted. There are great writing utensils out there for just a few hundred that equal or outperform those opulant ones. I mostly use a pen. It is also important to consider the ink, nib, and even paper that you will be using. I like a rough, almost raw paper and a high flow, bold nib. -

does look cool tho -

2018-05-01 at 7:37 AM UTCI only like "fancy" things like these because I grew up poor, and used the same mechanical pencil for years. Now that I'm no longer poor I'm at the stage where I'm enjoying all the shit that I could not enjoy before.
I don't see a problem with it since its sustainable. We all die anyway, and you can't take money or things to the grave, smoke em if you got em. I probably wont die in my sleep either. -
2018-05-01 at 7:42 AM UTCbut you're only getting it to make yourself feel like you are better than others. that's pretentious, a fucking pen still don't make you better than anybody, maybe you should check yourself and your inherent need to do this.

2018-05-01 at 7:49 AM UTCit's not like that. A decent pen that writes well makes me feel calm inside. rather than going for the bottle of whiskey, I might want to sit down with my notebook and write down some ideas. i'm a very frugal person

Yes.
Because at the end of the day, if I still have to take notes or do pages of arithmetic, I would at least be looking at a nice pencil while doing it.
Because even if I was the only person on earth, and for whatever reason I could still have gasoline for a car, I would enjoy a comfortable car over an uncomfortable one.
Because if I use an expensive multi-tool to do something, I do it because I want a high quality tool with whatever features I find convenient over a multi-tool made out of inferior metals and lacking tools.
Because at the end of the day, I would still rather eat an almost extinct turtle, which is probably delicious, as opposed to chicken or something.
Like I said, I like nice things because I never had them before, its new to me. I get them for myself, not to seem flashy or whatever.
For example, up until the age of around 11, I never thought that anyone in my whole family would ever own a car. I've probably been in a privately owned car less than 50 times up until that age. I now own my own car. My car is far from luxury but I still love driving it around for no reason simply because I used to think that this was unattainable.
When I see cheaper cars on the road, I don't look down on the drivers. I might be inclined to look down on them based on their driving habits, however. -

making oneself feel better and making oneself feel that its better than others arent mutually exclusive.
