For me, it would go down better than it coming up in a UO thread.
I am only speaking to self.
But ...exactly. If it would be taken better in certain threads or whatever, I just won’t bring it to the board. I know my audience. That's not what I am saying. I am saying if I was air BNB person (in your scenario) I would rather you just told me no, I do 5 star only then see it later in the UO thread. Say what you want.
Note - I didn't suggest an air bnb. I don't air bnb. I will splurge on hotel accommodations if nothing else on a trip. I know my lines.

A person like me would not know who did what first, Tom or Bob. That's what I am talking about. I would just be looking at the shoe. The end.
Just saying not arguing.
That is fair and I wouldn't begrudge you for that. Nor would I begrudge you for choosing BOBS over TOMS (I know, you wouldn't choose either!) because they are the same to you and you'd rather spend less money. I rather spend less if they are comparable.

Funny story - MH's family thought I was being bougie because I didn't stay in the recommended close by motel and I booked somewhere else.
Oh well.

Shoe design is not proprietary.
Do BOBS do the one for one thing like TOMS? BOBS donates to animals instead.

I learned my lesson when I made a thread about wanting help to frivolously spend money and I mentioned I could spend up to a grand. Maybe it was less or more, but either way I caught flack for it.

That’s the plan, but I’m trying to decide what I want most. Laser hair removal, LASIK, or new boobs. Right now boobs are my front runner. Yea, between those 3 I’d do boobs/tummy tuck too. Decisions, decisions. I really want a tummy tuck and arm sculpting.

I don’t care where anyone donates to, if it looks like what I need and in my budget I’m getting it. Also most of these organization are adding to the problem with clothing waste as it is. Even if they are donating.

I don’t have the financial means to only buy originals in the spirit of innovation. Also, sometimes originals suck and are improved upon over time by other brands/designers.

But if that's what you are after, you should say it. If you want the real deal and not some knock off cheaper version, say that. It would be like me asking for weight equipment suggestions and people suggesting second hand or some cheap stuff from Dick's. I am not in the market for that. (It's also why I don't ask here.) When I do ask in other places, I specifically ask between the pricier brands. I know there are cheaper things. I'm not here for them. I have particular tastes and I am willing to pay for them, even if it means waiting longer to get it. I don’t disagree and I have no problem saying that amongst friends. Brux suggested the Atlas to me the other day and I told her I’m only in the market for a luxury car. But Brux is my friend and knows me. I think things are taken a certain way here. Hell, when I told a story about how I find myself jealous of a friend and her lifestyle, I was told I was bragging and not being considerate of those who struggled to put food on the table. So, while I would like to say “designer only”, “five star only”, whatever, I’m well aware of the judgment that would accompany it. So I tend to leave those questions for my bougie NY group. I think this is good practice, for the most part. Unless you are on a board called Hello Bougie, you risk coming off as tone deaf to those around you. I wouldn't hesitate to brag about my awesome trip or chichi new bag, but I think it gets weird when you ask a bunch of target shoppers which $5000 bag they recommend.

I got LASIK at 22* (I never heard that I was too young?) and am still glasses-free at 36. I would get it again if I had needed it by now. LASIK life is the best life.
*And my vision was v v v bad.
From what I’ve heard it depends more on whether your vision had stabilized. They wanted me to be over 21 and my prescription to have not changed in at least two years. Neither applied to me so I really have nobody to blame but myself. This was my requirement. I was 28-29 when I had it done, and my prescription hadn't changed in at least 3 years, if not longer. Granted I'm only 3-4 years out, but still was the best decision. I had really, really, bad vision too. No more knocking my glasses off my nightstand in the morning and then blindly fumbling for them in the dark!

In real life I don’t like asking for recommendations here because I feel like I’d get overwhelmed with all the spectrum of responses. And I’d eventually pick the first thing my gut was leading me to purchase to begin with.
Like I was going to ask for clutch recommendations. I needed one for tne wedding I went to. I knew I was going to get that random $200 one. Lol. So I asked my sister and she told me to go to this one fashion place. It was $4.

They are all the rage with certain mom groups and I have them pricey for a plastic shoe, but brand name etc.

you have no idea. She was in so much pain and they do it while you’re awake. She wore sunglasses indoors for over a week. The awake thing is what is stopping me from doing lasik surgery I found it absolutely fucking terrifying, but I'm so glad I did it.

Yea this would be annoying. I’ll wait about 5 more years or so, close to 30. Trigger warning r.e. your youth. I have had a great result from my LASIK because I'm already old as the hills. :::hair flip:::
