Why is it trendy now to hate picatinnys? Is this some kind of subversive hipster thing or do they have genuine design flaws?
>>64279680Picatinny weighs weight and mlok doesn't
>>64279680>hipster thingyeah.it is heavier and MLOK makes more since most of the time, but there is nothing wrong with picatinny.
what are you gonna put on those side rails?answer: nothing
>>642797024 lasers
>>64279680I don't hate pic rails, but there are legitimate grievances and criticisms to them.>>64279693Anon with the first good point, is that it weighs a lot. Sure it gives you a lot of real estate, but as >>64279702 points out, you aren't oper8tor enough to use it all, and it's just a fuck load of weight for nothing.Additionally, all that mass also acts like a big heat absorber. Sure, it may act as a heat sink, but I would prefer a lighter and more maneuverable weapon that cools faster. I've had platforms that have had both pic rails and mlok, and I vastly prefer the mlok for aesthetics, weight savings, and the attachments are rock solid for when I do want to bolt stuff to my platforms. >tl;dr mlok lighter and has a cleaner look
>>64279680Picatinny is objectively more aesthetic. It goes hard as fuck. But after owning various AR's over the years, it's heavy as shit and feels like a cheese grater on your hands after so long. It is easier to use attachments on, though.
>>64279680Most of the people on /arg/ are unironic crossovers from reddit. They are almost all dyel basedboys and handlets with <7.3" or smaller wrist circumfrences and the hand strength of a newborn.Mlok is a smaller, lighter handguard for their delicate frames.
>>64279759>you aren't oper8tor enough to use it allthats not the point big dawg, lotsa different sized people that shoot guns so it's nice being able to put a certain attachment in a variety of slots instead of one single spot. also>RIS II weighs a fuckload more than RIS IIIstinks like noguns in here go to an lgs and handle one of those DD mlok rifles they are thicc af fr fr on god
I prefer pic but I get the appeal of mlok. Thin and light feel very comfy
>>64279680Clinging to quad rails when mlok is good enough with less weight feels like a weird identity thing. Like being proud of about driving stick or being a vegan. Or those fags that main cold war battle rifles.
>>64279874>Like being proud of about driving stick You are unironically a lesser man if you cannot drive a manual transmission.
I miss keymod :(
>>64279846>stinks like no gunsOne of my pistol setups costs more than an entire DD4 RIS II, don't invoke noguns like you're superior
>>64279897Dickmod was super tacky but really charming. It’s kinda like a boomer mlok
>>64279680I think you've got it the other way around, it's the trendy/hipster thing to say MLOK is gay because its the industry standard and we should return to quad rails
>>64279901>One of my pistol setups costs more than an entire DD4 RIS IIGuns are pretty inexpensive as far as hobbies go and DD is not an expensive brand to begin with, so idk what kind of flex this is supposed to be.
>>64279925>Guns are pretty inexpensive as far as hobbies goLow quality bait, anon. Quality guns can be incredibly expensive, and getting in to NFA stuff is worse
>>64279949>Quality guns can be incredibly expensiveThe majority of guns, even semi/full custom, tops out around <$10k or less.That's cheap compared to things like cars or watches.>NFA stuff is worseFull auto stuff gets pretty expensive, I'll give you that one.
>>64279949You can spend insane amounts of money on any hobby, anon. Look at cars or aquariums.
>>64279988>watches>tfw my barrett cost more than my rolex
>>64279988Tacticool guns are poorfag shit. A lot of guys buy $50-100k doubles just to go shoot in front of other rich people 2-3 times a year. Americans are pretty poorfag all things considered.
>>64280013Rolex is a poorfag mall shitter brand.Unironically.
>>64280013>rolex in 1995+30so pedestrian you're on the sidewalk
>>64279905It reminded me of the junk shelf in the garage as a kid, way more comfy than mlok.
>>64280017I'd still rather have an entire collection of varied firearms than a single Holland and Holland
>>64280021There's nothing to feel bad about rocking a Gshock or an apple watch, Anon. They all tell time exactly the same
>>64280039>Apple watchMall shitter like the Rolex>ShockIncredibly based man of taste and style.
>>64280021Not wrong, but you don't own one or anything similar/nicer for that matter, so your opinion is moot.
>>64280021>t. Tudor owner
>>64279680Dickmod bros we are back
>>64280114I own a gshock which is objectively superior. Rolexs aren't out of my reach but a Breguet Marine Alarm in 18k is. I don't buy things unless they're exactly what I want. Never been disappointed that way.>>64280122>TudorShitter. I'd get a Vostok or Seagull if forced to buy a mechanical watch today.
>>64280122Considering we now know Rolex has been sourcing cases, bracelets, and dial parts from Shenzhen before finishing and assembling back in Switzerland with their in-house movement, Tudor is unironically starting to look closer and closer to Rolex.Not that Rolex was top dog anyways, the Omega 8800/8900 movement has long been known to be a more durable movement than the Sub's, with better anti-magnetism, and the master chronometer cert is more comprehensive than the superlative. Then of course you have the BP FF which pretty much trumps either all around.
>>64280144>Rolexs aren't out of my reach but a Breguet Marine Alarm in 18k is. You don't own a single watch over $1k so it's a pretty irrelevant talking point anyways.
>>64280146>Sub>Ff>TudorAll pick me tasteless trash. Rolex's best watch is the grape oyster.
>>64280153Yeah I don't buy watches I don't want. Id need $40k to buy what I want. You settled for a mall shitter. Keep coping.
>>64280144I had to look up what the Marine Alarm looked like. Respectfully, it's definitely not my taste, but I can recognize its aesthetic value, so I hope you can get one at some pointBut also I have a $12 casio watch that tells the time the same as my submariner. Comparing a Gshock to a a mech watch is like telling me a toyota corolla is a better car than a GT3RS because of fuel economy
>>64280154Painfully clueless.>>64280158>You settled for a mall shitter. Keep coping.He said, as he cradled and stroked his beloved GShock that he looks like an 11 year old wearing.lmao
>>64280158>tfw the look of a submariner is actually nice which is why i got it>you are arguing over watches you do not have with people with guns that you don't have stay broke
>>6428016311 year old or wannabe operator. He saw a cop wear one once so now he has to as well to try to fit in
>>64280154>grape oysterLooks like something a Puerto Rican whore would wear.
>tfw I picked up a DaLuca strap made out of a Swiss WW1-era ammo pouch for my original Raketa Copernic with the correct 2609.NP movementDon't care that it's poverty tier, it's an iconic piece of history and I'm happy with it.
>>64280176>Stay brokeYou're literally flexing a Chinese watch made by a mall shitter brand. You didn't decide you liked the watch one day you just wanted a status symbol. I like my grail watch completely independent of it's price or non existent prestige. We're not the same.>>64280163I like my gshock a lot. Got it used at a pawn shop for $63 actually. Cash cow pawn.>>64280187Sure thing 007.
>>64280187kek'd
>>64279680Weighs less, smooth gripping surface without needing rail covers, looks sleek.
>>64280189>You didn't decide you liked the watch one day you just wanted a status symbolNow I know you're trolling, that's the most brain dead, holier than thou shit I've read today. People can like things, and sometimes those things are expensive. I hope you manage to get your grail watch, and the day you bring it home, you drop it on the ground and it shatters the face, and you have to save up to get it fixed. Stay broke
>>64280181>wannabe operator.No Anon, that's you.You saw a bunch of third world Slavs wearing them and decided you wanted one.Probably would buy an F91W or Vostok since those are also the popular (budget) choices for the tacticool hivemind on /k/ and reddit.If you were going to LARP you should have at least bought a Garmin (that's out of your budget though).
>>64279895>he doesn't cycle everywhereLook at this joke of a man, can't even go anywhere without an ICE to ferry his weak ass
I just wear an Orient Kamasu as my daily and have an Orient Bambino for when I am dressing nicely. I don't care if they are poorfag automatics, they work fine, look nice, and my wife got them for me as gifts.
>>64280204Vostok watches are badass and have an amazing history. Same with Seagull. No one cares about your mall shitter brand watch lmao.Meanwhile the shock is an icon. I wear it facing inward to tone it down and people still comment on it.
>>64280208Those are really nice gifts anon. Your wife sounds awesome
>>64280215>I wear it facing inwardI deliberately don't do this because I did not join the club, go to the place, and do the things.
>>64280215>the shock is an icon>wear it facing inward to tone it downHoly fuck this is the hardest I've laughed all day, thanks anon, I needed a good chuckle
>>64280215>People still comment on it.For a GShock? Where do you live, Somalia? GShock is so ubiquitous you see children wearing them, they are nothing to comment about
>>64280215>Vostok watches are an inexpensive daily wear for wannabe alt/hipster types trying to look "underground"Fixed that for you. >I wear it facing inwardCringe. Pic related, you running around town with your Gshock.
Step aside you broke and tasteless twats, let me show you a real man's watch
Since this turned into an improv watch thread, bash my next purchase, /k/. Go on, don't hold back.
>people seething about one of the most iconic watches of all time>Never complemented on a watch they solely got for attentionLMAO
>>64280241Never heard of her. Looks like a fake Chinese micro brand desu.Watches are personal anyway. Just get what you like irrespective of brand or cost.
>>64280241>not a dive watchLANDLUBBER DETECTED
>>64280241I'm not enough of a watchfag to know if there's anything wrong with it, all I know is I dig the looks and really that's what matters most
>>64280241The blue one stainless looks nice. Are you sure about the leather strap though?
>>64280239>Desert Storm>Made in USSRwut
>>64280246>Looks like a fake Chinese micro brand desu.Pretty much.>>64280254My plan is to compare the strap to the bracelet in person when I visit the AD.I usually prefer bracelet, but the strap looks a little more retro on this one, which I like.
>>64280262For some reason (probably recognizing American superiority) Vostok made a version of the komandirskie to commemorate Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Of all my watches I think it's easily the most interesting
>>64280271That's awesome. I hope the trip to the AD goes well. Leather has a fantastic look but I've had hit and miss experiences with them on similar looking ones. Best of luck, Anon!
Quad rails are Heavy and cheesegrater-ey. MLOK is a much more elegant mounting solution.
>>64279680>hate picatinnys>some kind of subversive hipster thing Anon you're like a decade behind the times.>>64279693This.
>>64280215>an amazing history. Same with Seagull.If you have an original PLAAF-issue Tianjin D304, sure. There's nothing special about a Seagull repro.
>>64280241Your phone already keeps perfect time.Smartwatches exist.Mechanical watches have been obsolete since the quartz revolution decades ago. Wristwatches only have value now as conspicuously consumed items, so men will think you’re hot shit and girls will have sex with you. obviously you’re not buying this watch for it’s utility as a timekeeping device. You’re buying pussy. So with that said, it’s a brainlet move to splurge on something that isn’t immediately recognizeable to everyone as “a pile of money lit on fire”. Rolexes cost about the same, but are unmistakeable and universally recognized as being expensive, so get one of those instead.And if on the off chance you are the one in a million who is a true connoisseur of high horology, shouldn’t you buy Swiss? Since when do Germans make watches?
>>64280303>so men will think you’re hot shit and girls will have sex with you.Stop, I already said I was going to buy it, you don't need to convince me more.>it’s a brainlet move to splurge on somethingNot the first time for me.>so get one of those instead.I already own a 40mm date sub with a removed cyclops. >shouldn’t you buy Swiss? Since when do Germans make watches?On a serious note, this is a painfully uneducated take as kraut watches are arguably higher quality in many regards and companies like A Lange are probably one of the most respected watch makers in the world.Not pulling out a mortgage for one at this time though.
>>64280217Yeah, she's a good woman. That said, she had me pick them out. Still, very nice of her to get me some nice watches.
>>64280357I mean when it comes to watches, it's a good idea to make sure they're exactly what the receiver wants. Did she help pick out her engagement ring, or at least heavily relay her taste? Same concept. Did the same with my wife
>>64280303>Your phone already keeps perfect time.Phone addict faggot>Smartwatches exist.Gayest thing in the world behind smartglasses>Mechanical watches have been obsolete since the quartz revolution decades ago.Who cares? Mechanical watches are cool. Machines are cool. If you don't appreciate an intricate mechanical device that accomplishes a useful task, you are not a man.>Wristwatches only have value now as conspicuously consumed itemsThe wristwatch is one of 3 acceptable pieces of jewelry for a man, the other two being a crucifix necklace and a wedding ring (sometimes a signet ring is acceptable too, depending on your social affiliations). Also you can use them to tell the time without looking at your phone all the goddamn time>so men will think you’re hot shit and girls will have sex with youUntermensch mindset.>obviously you’re not buying this watch for it’s utility as a timekeeping deviceSays you
>>64280394Yeah, she told me what sort of aesthetic she liked, what diamond shape she wanted, and what color of gold she wanted, and her ring size obv. I had one made that she loves.
>>64280406>The wristwatch is one of 3 acceptable pieces of jewelry for a man, the other two being a crucifix necklace and a wedding ringUnfathomably based and tradwestpilled.
>>64280406Most enlightened /k/ post
>>64280351I…. did not know A. Lange was German. I kinda just assumed 99% of the world’s mechanical watches are manufactured in Switzerland.Own any royal oaks? I find their anesthetic to be top tier and timeless. Designed in an afternoon but a total stroke of artistic genius.>>64280406>point 1:But you already own a phone regardless.>point 2:Irrelevant if the function of the watch is to keep time. The point of bringing up smartwatches is to show that there are far cheaper watches with 1000x the capability. It’s like buying a flip phone post-2007>point 3:I agree, they are cool. And so are lambos. But are they $600,000 cool? Only pussy and the respect of men is that cool.>point 4:The whole point of jewelry (for men) is to advertise wealth. As for women, did you know that nobody’s ever really made a serious academic inquiry into why it is that all women of all races and cultures and nationalities love to adorn themselves with fancy shit and shiny rocks (to my knowledge)? I found some girl blogs postulating dumb shit like astrology or some hypothetical magical 5th force of nature that exists within the girls that compels them to accessorize in that manner. But no explanation using Darwinian language. Personally, going purely off intuition and my very low (accurate) opinion of women, I’d say the purpose is to advertise the present bid for their eggs and preemptively keep away lesser men who can not meet or exceed the bid.>point 5:No that’s everyone. It’s more like a libido-possessor mindset. Denying it is denying what you are.>point 6:Says logic. If your interest is purely to acquire a timekeeping device for its timekeeping utility, a mechanical watch (in 2025) is the last thing you’d consider. You’d either be fine with your phone, or consider a smartwatch. If you don’t need the adds functionality, then some battery-powered digital watch.
>>64280456>I kinda just assumed 99% of the world’s mechanical watches are manufactured in Switzerland.France is also known for high end watches.
>>64280456>Own any royal oaks?No, the most expensive watch I own is a 42.30 fifty fathoms.AP is a great but oversaturated brand and I would look more at Vacheron or A Lange if I was going to spend that much money, at least that's my taste.>The whole point of jewelry (for men) is to advertise wealth. I just think they're neat, and for the line of work I am in (corporate insurance sales) advertising wealth would be a joke as I am regularly on the low end in the room even wearing a Rolley, BP, or Omega.
>>64280241People in glass huts shouldn't throw stones.

>>64280039>implying gshock and apple watch are in the same veint. rolex owner
>>64279895everyone can drive stick but a 4000lb slushbox luxobarge is just better
>>64279680Because they never figured out how to put rail covers on. Simple as.
>>64280669This may shock you, but there are literally people out there who have never learned such a basic skill as how to operate a clutch.
>>64280669>everyone can drive stick……y-ya, e-everyone can drive stick.(I can ride a motorcycle though, does that count?)
>>64280693Dogboxes are just better than consumer synchro shit. Motorcycles have transmissions for the driving man. So ye.
>>64280693If it's got a manual clutch and not some gay centrifugal shit, you already know how to drive stick.
>>64279895my nigger, 70% of the people in the world can drive stickgrandmas in central asia and subsaharan africa can drive stick
>>64280698Well I don’t ride anymore, I crashed and nearly died so no more bikes for me. But yeah I understand how manual transmission works, I just would be really clunky with it in a car till I got the hang of it. I’ve never driven a stick shift car.
>>64280703And the other 30% are subhuman.
>>64280703That’s cause it takes time for technology from the first world to trickle into subsaharan africa and random villages in Eastern Europe. People in America can’t drive stick because we don’t need to drive stick. That’s the point of technology - to do shit for you so you no longer have to do shit. “Why do hard things when you can just do easy things?” - the philosophy behind all invention.Eventually every African child soldier will have a red dot on his AK and the use of iron sights will be completely forgotten. (Maybe African is a bad example, I don’t think they know how to use iron sights.)
Idk I like it
>>64279680There's a lot of merit to MLOK in terms of weight savings and being less of a pain on your sensitive lil fingers.But it has the trade off of heating up more and, in my experience, being uncomfortably thin and feeling small as fuck in my hands. For the last reason I prefer pic, but it's just personal preference.
>>64280713how long do you think automatic transmissions have been in widespread use for?
i fired an mp5 that had picarails the other dayand it was affixed in such a way that i couldn't hk slap the handle to look cool and manly, and had to drop it with my thumbso now i hate picarails
>>64280828Not sure but atleast for the last 15 or 20 years every new car in America has been automatic. Am I wrong?
>>64280713>ventually every African child soldier will have a red dot on his AK and the use of iron sights will be completely forgotten.just like every african child solder is wearing body armor and using advanced tactics? i mean, they've been in use for like what, 50+ years so surely, by that time everyone in africa are using them?
>>64280705It's worse being forced into a fucking automatic, your muscle memory tells you to stomp the brake unless you fold your left foot under the seat and you feel like you have absolutely no control over the engine.
>>64280828>>64280851They've been around forever guys, they're just dogshit when your roads aren't straight and flat.
>>64280215>I wear it facing inwardJesus Fuck, that is so funny. You know I was on your side because that poorfag anon was larping as rich, but this is just too cringe my man, turbokek.
>>64279680I'm a picrail purist and I still admit that it's heavier. I wish more companies would do the Geissele thing and just add a section of picrail to the forward end of their handguard where it's actually needed.
>>64280703Exactly. If you can't drive stick then you're less capable than 70% of the people in the world including grandmas in central asia and subsaharan africa, which makes you a lesser man. There's a baseline of competence that you never reached.
>>64280939Grandmas do tend to drive automatics though. Disabled people, retirees, etc.My grandma was really mad when she had to give up the motorbike and sidecar for an auto, lmao. I don't think she'd ever driven more than 10 miles continuously in her life.
>>64280713>People in America can’t drive stick because we don’t need to drive stick.People in America can't drive stick because they're lazy and have shit taste. The rest of the world has had access to automatic transmissions for more or less the same period as America, but just doesn't like them as much. America is great at many things, but almost exclusively makes awful, joyless and soulless cars.
>>64280952>more or less the same period as Americai.e. slightly longer.
>>64280954No, I think America was mass producing them before anyone else (ie WWII, where others started making them postwar, which is mostly incosequential since industrial capacity during the war wasn't making many consumer cars).
>>64280967China was mass producing smartphones before anyone else, doesn't mean they had them first.Early automatics were just shit, but shit is adequate for a straight flat American road and a land boat.
>>64280982>adequate for a straight flat American road and a land boatIt's not though. It's adequate if and only if you find no thrill or joy in driving and see the whole and every part of it as a chore from which technology ought relieve you. Americans hate driving, but hate walking or using public transport even more, so they produce, buy and drive joyless shitboxes and pioneered adoption of mushy automatic transmissions.
>>64279680>weighs a lot>bulky>catches on shit>uncomfortable to hold>doesn't allow ventilation (which in turn requires holes in the rest of the handguard, which requires stiffening geometry, which increases weight further)It's just annoying. Annoying in every way. You ever had a bowl that's just an annoying shape, and when you put it in the dishwasher it does something annoying like sit a funny way or take up too much space? Or a mug with a handle that loosely fits [n] fingers, but doesn't fit [n+1]?It's just one of those annoying objects which humans would be better without.
>>64280997>no thrill or joy in drivingYeah exactly. When you have to go to the interior of Australia to find more boring roads and cities are grids of retarded brown horn enthusiasts you're not going to enjoy shit anyway.
>>64280241>>64280239>>64280242>>64280246>>64280406Y'all are faggots wasting your money on the lamest fucking status symbol mankind has invented. You're all chimping out like vapid valley girl holes bragging to each other in their hen circle how big the rock their fiance bought them so that he could stick his dick up their ass.Cars? Have a function and appreviable aesthetics. Guns? Very much have a function and the development of theit mastery makes for an excellent hobby.Buying fucking watches to "impress" "people" is the "classy" equivalent of buying expective video game skins in multiplayer games to "flex on the haters". Its utter nog behavior, and theres nothing impressive about your watch, your phone, your gay little anal plug, nothing. Caring about what others think of you is by and far the most effeminate thing a man can do, besides suck another mans dick.>>64279680Because when you carry a gun for 12 hours straight, for months on end, your gun being a few pounds lighter turns out to be one hell of a creature comfort, between your biweekly showers, and the monthly laundry days your unit is afforded.
>>64279895>you MUST use this inferior obsolete technology or you’re not a manI can already tell you’re a revolver guy as well.
>>64280013>>64280021Anyone that actually cares about watches is a fucking moolie. It is only a status symbol if you are surrounded by Arabs and Puerto Ricans or literally work in a retirement home with septuagenarians.
>>64280406If you are posting on 4chan, you are an internet addict already. People can tell. You're not hiding anything in public. >muh mechanics autism You'd better use a wind up dynamo to power your house's electricity if you like moving parts so much. You are flailing around looking for an excuse to justify why you want to buy this thing.It doesn't make you manly, it doesn't prevent you from being an internet addict, it isn't unique as an accessory. You got sucked into a conspicuous consumption spiral and are too dumb to get out.
>>64281536Drive whatever you want but I think everyone should be made to learn in a stick shift first because it forces you to have some basic understanding of the car and how gear ratios work.I'm a truck driver and nearly every day I get stuck behind dumb tardcunts towing heavy trailers, rapidly decelerating after hitting an incline because their automatic slushbox is panicking and trying to perform 4 gear changes. If these people learned stick they'd know to tell the automatic to select a lower gear BEFORE hitting that hill.The same goes for all the future accident statistics who ride the brakes down a long hill instead of selecting a lower gear and engine braking.
>>64279680Cuz you don't need 90% of that tacticool railspace and grabbing picattiny sucks ass, i got legit bloodied hands from it so i had to bandage up the gun if it has full picattiny around.
>>6428099790% of driving isn't fun, and never will be fun. It will never be fun to drive to the grocery store or the dentist or to work.
>>64280703Yet you can't. Curious.
>>64281253Listen man, I just want to utilize the opportunity to show off a watch made in the USSR that celebrates an American victory, is that so wrong?
>>64280952Because we don't care, for most of the rest of the world a car is an option because you have something else that can get you there. We stick to autos because that's the only way you're getting anywhere. And the vast majority of destinations are going to be boring, nobody's going joyriding after a week of driving from point a to b unless you're 16 and just got your license>>64280997If you find driving fun you must be the dullest man walking. If you can find such a monotonous and tedious task enjoyable then maybe we ought to call Sisyphus up, he'd love to make your acquaintance>but it's fun with a manualGreat, now my boring and tedious task requires me to jerk off my car at every light or when I encounter any kind of traffic, what an improvement
>>64281253>poorfag crying about things he can't afford>he doesn't own a single high end item in any of his hobbiesClassic fox and grapes poster.>>64281839>If you find driving fun you must be the dullest man walking.What an absolute pleb opinion.You sound about as exciting as watching paint dry.
>>64279846> so it's nice being able to put a certain attachment in a variety of slots instead of one single spot.You do realize you can move mlok slots wherever you want also, right?
>>64280303>obviously you’re not buying this watch for it’s utility as a timekeeping device. You’re buying pussy.No, you're paying to larp as someone who gets pussy. The reality is that all those "status symbols" don't actually work when you're an awkward autistic faggot (See Elliot Rodger or a mirror)
>>64281930Only time I've had fun driving was speeding down narrow dirt roads. Then again rally has always been the thinking man's motorsport. F1 and LeMans is on the same tier as NASCAR IMO in that it's only interesting when someone crashes or catches on fire
>>64282449yes i do retard, thats why i dont shit on mlok users for not filling out their handguards with attachments like you niggers do to us railchads now kindly kys yourself you spaghetti noodle armed chimp
>>64282492>No, you're paying to larp as someone who gets pussy.Maybe people buy nice things because they like them?Hard concept for people who buy their entire gun collections trying to follow "the meta" and impress people on /arg/ and /hg/ to understand, I know. >>64282517>motor sports opinion>from someone who can't drive an automatic or change their own oilYou're not uninterested in cars because they're boring, you're uninterested in cars (among other things) because the price barrier to getting into them is beyond your reach.Get a better job, a career preferably, and stop being a bitter poorfag.
>>64279895Driving stick isn't the issue. It's acting like it makes you some special snowflake that's the problem, especially when being manual is the only interesting thing about your car that's otherwise a completely generic econo shitbox, something I've noticed is quite common with people who make a big deal about driving a stick - you never see that attitude from actual sports car guys, it's always the dude with a stock manual Civic DX.I exclusively owned manual sports/performance cars for 18 years and the fact that they were stick was just a fact of life, not some thing to get on a high horse about.
>>64282707>I exclusively owned manual sports/performance cars for 18 yearsCap.You're not even older than 25 and your daily is worth less than $25k.Post keys.
>>64282492> The reality is that all those "status symbols" don't actually work when you're an awkward autistic faggotMost people are not awkward autistic faggots though.>look in the mirrorFuck did I ever do to you?>>64281930NTA. It wouldn’t matter if he had a lambo, he’s still right, but yeah its probably a sour grapes thing since he is still just the same simple sex-driven animal as the rest of us.>>64281253>you’re wasting money on [pussy]The chief utility of money right after subsistence is purchasing women. Buying fancy shit is an indirect version of explicit prostitution that gives both sides plausible deniability as to the transactional nature of the relationship. At the end of the day, not counting gigachads, all women are prostitutes and all men pay for sex. (As for gigachads, they pay with quality sperm, as the girls do have to get something out of it). So it’s the very opposite of a “waste of money”. It is in fact the best, most game theory optimal use of money.> Caring about what others think of you is by and far the most effeminate thing a man can doExcept women are in a special category of “people” - they’re the ones you mate with, so if you possess a libido, it does behoove you to concern yourself with what they think. You are not better than this or anyone else that does things for pussy. You are LARPing as someone who is so enlightened that he has overcome and overridden his mating instinct. You have not and you never will.All other points are correct. The entire luxury *anything* industry simply sells receipts that say “I lit money on fire, my kids will eat, my sons will fuck, have sex with me”. Everyone working in it is a pimp. It’s a gangster life desu, I should have been a jeweler. Dangle shiny rocks and trinkets in front of men and tell them they’ll have sex if they pay me $10,000 for this rock.. We’re like a million times more chimpy that the guy with the lowest opinion of mankind thinks.
>>64281664>it’s dumb to buy fancy watches because you’ve calculated incorrectly that they will yield opinions of high status and following that, pussy.So in other words the guy should calculate better and buy something with a higher ROI.
>>64282707>Driving stick isn't the issue. It's acting like it makes you some special snowflake that's the problem,This is true. HOWEVER, 90% of the time you see this phrase repeated, it's by a literal retard that can't even figure out how to drive a car that doesn't drive itself. There is nothing special about being able to drive a manual, but there's some "special" about the people who aren't capable of learning such a simple, foundational skill.
>>64282706> Maybe people buy nice things because they like them?(I’m the guy he’s responding to)I’m not sure how to respond to this so I’ll do my best. If I ask you to write down an exhaustive list of all the reasons you do X (let’s say in this case, X=paying taxes), and one of the items on this list is “so I don’t get shot to death”, then every other item on the list fades into irrelevance. This is the forcing function that deals with and threatens the satisfaction of a much higher order biological imperative, so its value is greater than anything else on the list. I will then conclude that despite your 50 item long list, you pay taxes so you aren’t shot to death. Now do X=buying a fancy car instead of a normal one. One of the items on this list is “so girls will be impressed and give me sex”. Well, you are a creature whose sole imperative is to ejaculate inside the girls, so everything else instantly becomes irrelevant and I conclude that this purchase was sexually motivated. So it’s kinda hard to do something that is the typical and expected behavior of any male that has the capacity to do it, one that is rewarded with sex/female admiration/respect from men, and act like the impetus for it is some 5th force of nature without its own upstream cause. I don’t want to insult you, but this is woman-tier thinking. The girls also pretend the things they do are ultimately without reason, like their brains contain random number generators that do not interact with space and time and they just do things for unexplainable magical girl reasons.
>>64281253> Its utter nog behaviorI missed this part, otherwise I would’ve engaged with it in my previous reply to you.The rule is that everything niggers do lives on the midwit meme. You can derive conspicuous consumption, the handicap principle, strategic pluralism, might is right, lordosis behavior, the utility of language, friend-enemy distinction, etc just from observing the niggers in their most feral state (current). This is because they are simple animals and so they do not obscure their instincts and desires behind many layers of abstraction the way everybody else does. But at the end of the day, I mean we are the same species so in our most base instincts, we’re not gonna be very different. All the shit I said about “it is imperative to ejaculate inside the girls” also applies to males of any other species. If your dog could understand English, he’d nod his head in understanding.TLDR we are all niggers. Sorry.
>>64282816>>64282833These are the kind of posts that kill entire threads and make everybody want to stop replying.Go get treatment for your (severe) autism.
>>64282706>>from someone who can't drive an automatic or change their own oilNow you're just putting words in my mouth you fucking child. I can change my fluids and breaks with no issue. Money isn't an issue, it's just that cars are a never ending cavalcade of expensive problems. Same reason I hate women
>>64282731I'm 39 and incidentally was on /o/ and /k/ from day one. I have a '20 Ranger (obviously auto) and a '25 KLX300 now but I've owned all kinds of stuff, notably S14 240SX, Mk1 MR2, GD WRX, AP2 S2000, E30 325IS and E36 M3, 8th gen Si, and most recently a Fiesta ST, all stick.
>>64279693Not really. If you get a decently made pic rail it'll only be about 6 ounces for carbine to mid length rail.
I would never put a quad rail on my personal rifle but I can attest that they lock onto your hand and specifically wet gloves way better than mlok. Also they seem to dissipate heat better because the slots act like cooling fins.
>>64282731Oh yeah and I also spent a bunch of years building track/race cars professionally.>>64282755Maybe. Probably true sometimes but I think it's also often Euros etc. who drive manual as a matter of course and don't understand why us Americans have a stick up our asses about it. Of course 90% of people talking shit on cars online in general probably don't even own one and often aren't old enough to drive so who knows.
>>64282869Don they actually say “post keys” and/or “nocarz” on /o/? I bet they do.
>>64282844Elaborate.If you don’t like something i said, pick it out and attack it. >(severe) autismDoubt it. Maybe mild at worst.
>>64282873Crazy I forgot this thread was about picatinny vs MLOK.
>>64280248recreational divers usually wear the computer on one wrist, the compass on the other, and more often than not they were neoprene gloves that latch halfway down the forearm. where the fuck do you carry a dive watch? on your peanus weanus? keep in mind, the legs are busy having knife and billboard.
>>64282895The traditional thing is a pic of the car with bread on the hood. Also "busrider" instead of "nocarz."
>>64279680test
>>64279895There’s nothing special about driving a stick. Even women and chinks can do it. Unless you have a high end sports car it’s pointless. Bragging about driving a stick is gay and it doesn’t make you manly.
>>64279705
>>64282928>busriderKek>car with bread on the hoodI don’t get it. What does this mean?
>>64282895"post spices" and "nospoon" on /ck/ lol
>>64279895>Like being proud of about driving an automobileYou are unironically a lesser man if you cannot ride a horse or drive draft animals.
>>64283024It's a variant of /b/'s shoe on head. It's just some dumb shit that you'll never never find a stock photo of. Same as a timestamp but quicker and lower risk of doxing yourself.
>>64283024Literally put some bread on the hood of your car and then take a pic of it. Basically just a weird thing that proves you're not getting somebody else's pics off the internet or whatever.
Because the quadrail had SOVL and everything now has to be a mass produced fake and gay slop-tier end product, the equivalent of Alegria "art"
>>64282869>All of those overpriced shitmobiles>Literally never owned a V8 in his lifeFucking yuropoors.
>>64283027That’s actually pretty good. Are there dudes that spam shitty basic recipes and claim it’s the meta or whatever like dudes do here?
>>64283040Ah, got it. It’s their version of guns+feet or guns+timestamp>>64283027Fucking lmao. We are not so different after all.
>>64283113>Are there dudes that spam shitty basic recipes and claim it’s the meta or whateverDo instant ramen threads count?
>>64283048Get off the Internet and go outside for a while, I am begging you
>>64283051Should be obvious that I'm American from the gun and the fact that I mentioned at least one US-specific car. I just spent most of my life in the canyon and trackday scenes where anything with a V8 that's actually good for those things is way more money than I ever had to spend. I'm hoping to get a V8 F-150 for my next truck but with the way prices are going I'm not sure I'll ever be able to afford one worth having and I'd rather spend $15k on another bike than put it toward an expensive-ass truck.
>>64283032>grow up on a ranch>can unironically do all of these and also operate heavy machinerykek, get fucked city dwellers.
>Yeah I use a shit ton of electrical tape for any and all attachments, why do you ask?

>>64283169>Can't even afford a shitter like an SC400 or S197 because he spent all of his money on turboshitters like a backwards CorollaYuropoor in spirit.
>>64283198I mean I could have, there just wasn't much appeal in owning a car that'd get smoked by Miatas and EG Civics on the roads/tracks I was running. A C5/6 Vette or E92 M3 would've been the V8 cars worth having at the time for what I was doing but those were definitely outside my means.Nowdays my taste is very different but I still won't buy a V8 car just because it's a V8 and my main interest is restomodding a classic Ford eventually, I really want to do a Torino or Galaxie inspired by vintage NASCAR and the ones that went to Europe and road raced.

>>64280017> Americans are pretty poorfag all things considered.Eurofag cope detected. The average white American makes significantly more than the average euro. Plus we can own guns. >inb4 I’m SwissExceptions to every rule

>>64280022That’s a good insult
>>64280153> You don't own a single watch over $1kWhy would want to brag about this?
>>64283256>Doesn't want to buy a V8 that will get smoked by a Miata>Instead of buying a Miata he buys a string of 4 banger meme cars that get smoked by a MiataThe SC400 is a very competent sports car, by the way. Once you throw out a bunch of the useless pigfat, it's got the same suspension geometry as an A80 Supra and better aero. Once upon a time you could pick the things up for $500 running, and they're still not expensive.
>>64283113There are lots of people that either say that cooking is a scam and buying fast food is better, or who say that making 5 gallons of slop (always some random mix of ground beef, beans and rice boiled together for hours) once a week is also better than actually cooking.
>>64279759can you attach stuff directly to the MLOK slot? no rail?
>>64283757you can
>>64279680They’re ugly.
>>64282927Spending your time writing this shit out to give a (You) to someone clearly making a jokeWew lad :^)
>>64283486I had some miats in there too. Probably 20-25 cars in those years if you add everything up and count ones that were joint projects with friends etc. I know the SC can be made into a pretty solid performer but they weren't really on the radar back then, and would've been a bigger project than I was looking for during most of that time. Could've done it when I worked at a shop but it was a BMW/Porsche shop so I had the E30 and E36 instead.
>>64279843This is written like bait but it's correct. Redditors buy meme shit like cheap plates and then are out of breath going up a flight of stairs with them in a slick carrier.I don't know if it's just they genuinely had no exercise from birth to adulthood but it's a chronic issue.
