"No U" - reputation saved
Oh, the oldest trick in the book
There's still the uno reverse picture. So many counters! Exciting!

I wouldn't say so in this case. A watch is probably about as close to "good" conspicuous consumption as it's possible to get. Think about it: it's generally a "buy once, keep it forever" item, takes essentially 0 resources to keep functioning (generally the expensive ones don't require batteries), uses very little material to manufacture, and all the price is coming from specialist labour.
It's a waste of money, but it's a harmless waste, especially when compared to things like private jets and yachts.
The "specialist" working for a car's worth for a single watch, could be something useful instead. It's proportionnally as much waste as a private jet. For the price, the jet is also very little resources consumed but an ungodly amount of labour goes into them that could instead be doing something useful !

The kind of waste I'm talking about doesn't give two fucks about proportionality. CO2 in the atmosphere makes no distinction between being emitted by a single person or three million.
Also, fuck living in a world where only things arbitrarily deemed "useful" are considered worthy. Does art have no place in your world? It's not "useful". Should people be banned from having hobbies? Those aren't "useful".

& also you probably know to spec it appropriately; most slow laptops I see have 8 gigs ram.
Is 8 considered little?

I don't know if you're being serious or not.
You've got to follow the pulse of the crowd. "You're cringe" either sounds like the final blow to a shaky-legged cringe lord, or the last gasp of air from a voice-cracking, 14-year-old tough guy, depending on who the crowd is already inclined to agree with and possibly on whether they know what a floppy drive is.
The bottom line, though, is if you can get the crowd to cheer, then you can get other people to cheer.

What's my motivation? Is there a reason why I'm listening to Alec Baldwin brag about his watch? What's stopping me from simply walking away?

You need to listen to him because it's a meeting at work, he's higher up than you are, and your job is at risk.

The link skips half of the speech, if you have 8 minutes, watch the whole thing.

If he's higher up than me and my job is at risk and I need the job, wouldn't mouthing off be a bad idea?

True, could get shot in the face

Anyone who spends more on a watch than a car has poor money management. Fuck, what a waste. There's no way any watch is worth more than $1000 other than for clout which is stupid.

Whether you pay a factory to make car priced watched or private jets, all that money pays people who will emit just as much CO2.
I work in a factory making turbine engines, if I worked in a factory making 50k$ watches we would produce just as much CO2.
In both cases, the products we make are largely useless fabricated demand by advertising.

Well, you're welcome.
I'll leave this then, too. I was going to, but this didn't actually have the elevator in it. -

You absolutely would not. Not even remotely close.
Also, you're ignoring the emissions over the lifetime of the thing. As soon as the watch is manufactured, it's emissions contribution is done. That turbine will continue generating emissions over it's entire existence.

Yeah, it's fine for now. If you're doing anything more than the absolute basic, you'll need 16+ now (on Win 11). Somewhat related, but my work computer was stuck, slow, and crashing at 99% utilization on 8GB until I added a card (my money). Now it stays around 85% on 16GB.
