Every time i purchase a moderately expensive item the Karl Marx on my shoulder is like "For shame... you purchase yet another pair of jeans when you have 5 already at home, you despicable commodity fetishist? In my time, a man with five outfits would consider himself blessed beyond measure, and yet you want for more, while there are children starving in the world??" to which the second Karl Marx on my other shoulder says "Objection! Those 5 pairs of jeans all wildly uncomfortable or have holes in the ass, due to the decline of clothing quality driven by the fast fashion industry, unfortunately making this purchase a necessity... Plus, by purchasing a slightly more expensive pair of jeans from an independent brand, seeking quality over 'brand recognition', they are deliberately trying to avoid engaging in conspicuous consumption!" to which the third Karl Marx clinging to my back like that beetle from Doctor Who says "Remember, my friend; the less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the theatre or to balls, or to the pub, and the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you will be able to save and the greater will become your treasure which neither moth nor rust will corrupt — your capital. Buy the jeans," to which I say "I don't know if any of you have actually read Karl Marx"

Even more old (logi)Tech

Wowowowow a cigarette-beige 1991 Logitech T-CC2-9F TrackMan Stationary Mouse ... AKA an old-ass trackball

I love the stereotypical 90's computer colour palette, everything had to be white and a specific shade of grey, I also like the way the surface plastic flows downward into this snailshell shape, it's a very simple but nice design

The old Logitech logo is so pretty too, I honestly don't understand the switch to the "G" in the gaming stuff and plain text in everything else. They had a winning format already with the swoosh, eye and lines.

My PC apparently still has a PS/2 port so it works perfectly, though the lack of a scroll wheel can get pretty tedious
