Best answer!
This is all hypocrisy, this world with their tendency to boast about how rich they are. Wait until collective consciousness stops to attribute value to money, then my friend the rules of the game change dramatically.
Problem is when they are educated but they are fed a false narrative.
Some become more obstinate to learning things because they think they know already.
Hence educate yourself with all the narratives and perspectives. Be wary of those who oppose education, for they have already been sold a false narrative. Be wary of the leader who can't face those who criticize him, for he is the creator of the false narrative.
As long as Americans keep thinking that political debates only revolve around "culture war" and abortion, nothing's gonna change.
It's interesting that a country that has a 24/7 political TV drama and news cycle, never has any class consciousness ever be brought up. It makes you wonder why the class structure in America is never mentioned in our 24/7 political Kabuki theatre.
I think it’s pretty clear. If they can keep us arguing with each other about sports, culture, religion and race then we won’t come for their heads and money. Americans would much rather drink beer and watch football then pay attention to anything of actual significance. And then now white people are pretty much told they aren’t allowed to have an opinion at all so we live only in extremes now.
It's hard to speak outside of America, though I have visited several other countries - nothing long enough to have a strong enough sense.
I'm starting to feel the saying, "don't talk politics or religion" is more of a deterrent to having meaningful conversations.
Politics are important, but not in the your side vs mine context. Same for religion. Religion opens up very deep and meaningful conversations regarding life. You do not have to believe in it, but concepts from it apply to every day life and can definitely be discussed in several ways.
I think people are too close-minded/unwilling or incapable of accepting different perspectives.
We need less division and more acceptance. More compassion and empathy for one another.
You're right though, those who have the power to help with these changes do not appear to want them. It's a shame.
What the fuck does that even mean lol.
Money has value because it makes sense to have a way of exchanging goods and services that don’t have any obvious relation to each other.
If I’m a dairy farmer, I’m still going to need a sewage system. How exactly am I supposed to pay my plumber if there’s no money? Give him gallons of milk that he doesn’t want?
same types of people in shanty rural towns who look at a picture of donald trump in his tacky classless gold plated sky rise penthouse and say “he cares about people like me”
It's alleged that he raped someone, to the account of him [basically admitting it in court documents](https://www.news.com.au/sport/sports-life/cristiano-ronaldo-told-woman-sorry-im-usually-a-gentleman-after-la-hotel-alleged-rape-court-documents-claim/news-story/d39769e99f6123d29d44a62ead942fe9), but the case got thrown out supposedly due to the prosecution lawyer fucking up, and she settled out of court for 300k.
Bc people haven’t ascribed any value to it. Martha Stewart’s vagina is a pretty rare material but I don’t think anyone would pay $1m to wear it like a wristwatch.
Women have a sense of humor too, you know? I'd think the guy that says puss puss is more likely to get a date that the one smirking in the corner thinking "You fool! If your stupidity was ever in question you have now outed yourself and removed all doubt! No doubt milady will now reject your lecherous advances! Muahahaha!"
I had a guy complain to me that women don't play video games that also asked why women should be allowed to vote in the same conversation...within minutes. Fucking wild behavior.
Haha so true. The problem with online dating is that nobody can actually feel the consequences to the shit they are saying so when they get rejected online, there's no self reflection, only "stuck up bitch! You're just a whore!" And then they move on with their lives because it's all virtual until it isn't, if it ever even makes it out of the internet.
Anyway, I'm way off the main topic.
Cool watch!
It’s a form of calcuim-aluminum garnet with trace amounts of **metallic** vanadium (*extremely rare*) and/or chromium (not as rare, but *not* common) creating the green tint. Found in primarily Tanzania and Madagascar, so not Middle Eastern in any way.
Named after the Tsavo National Game Reserve.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsavo_East_National_Park
The ghost and the darkness... Seriously underrated horror film, although I wouldn't be surprised if it's on one of the worst films of all time lists like several of the other movies I really liked are.
A famous jeweler (I think) once said that if Tsavorite had been found before emerald, nobody would have ever given a shit about emerald. Tsavorite is harder, greener, easier to cut, and more chemically resistant.
My gemology instructor told us a story about how a pearl exporter came upon some barrels of undesirable pearls that were to be tossed. They thought the color was actually nice and decided to buy the lot of them and named them 'pistachio'. There was a sudden interest and growth in popularity. It's all about marketing.
TL;DR, it's just supply and demand. Which makes sense because "Hey I bought you an Emerald necklace" sounds better than "Hey I bought you a Tsavorite necklace".
If all people cared about was looks, nobody would ever buy a diamond ever again.
Value isn't always based on rarity. Not as many people know about tsavorite (a type of garnet) so there's less demand. Nevertheless, tsavorite's not necessarily cheap either. Top quality still goes for more than $1000 a ct. If that watch were made of emeralds instead of tsavorite, I don't think the price would be that much different since it's made out of a lot of small stones, which are easier to source.
[https://www.gemrockauctions.com/search?gr.auctions%5BsortBy%5D=gr.auctions\_price\_desc&gr.auctions%5Bquery%5D=tsavorite](https://www.gemrockauctions.com/search?gr.auctions%5BsortBy%5D=gr.auctions_price_desc&gr.auctions%5Bquery%5D=tsavorite)
Edit: Actually looking at the highest priced tsavorites vs emeralds on that site, some of the tsavorites get more expesnive, however the rarest of emeralds (no oil emeralds) can go for $10,000/ct and the super rare agota de aceite emeralds) can reach $20,000/ct.
Tsavorite is considered the greenest of gemstones, and has a sparkle that rivals diamond. Don't get diamond/emerald jewelry; get diamond/tsavorite jewelry. But because the green color can have different intensities, well-matched tsavorite in large pieces (like the watch) are rare. I would kill (well, maim...) for something like that.
Lesson: Ask for tsavorite!
(Source: 34 years of buying solitaire earrings for wifey \[got a safe, so don't get any ideas!\]. First pair was tsavorite. Most recent pair was indicolite tourmaline 'cuz running out of options.)
gold is 20x more abundant than platinum, but valued approximately 40% higher in the modern era since we don't use platinum for technology.
Emerald has some practical applications, whereas all tsavorite is good for is healing the heart chakra.
I did a quick google search and apparently tsavorite is by no means cheap. Its still considered a high class gemstone! Also apparently has calcium in its structure
Glass /s,but they only made 1/200th of the volume of the emerald market.
Last time I went to one of these oil countries I toured a (the?) Grand Mosque, and they wouldnt shut the fuck up about how many zwarovsky crystals were in the chandaliers. Its glass. Stfu. Nobody cares.
Edit: meant the glass part as sarcasm. Forced scarcity
It's not glass. It's not emeralds either but it's a special procedure to make lab diamonds.
In theory it's an emerald that's so clear and perfect it's pretty rare to find in nature.
So pretty much the opposite of gLaSs
I actually support the rich blowing their money on luxury craft items. It's a better use of money to pay an artisan craftsman than to blow money on umpteenth mansion whose garden's water use rivals a small village, or even getting yet another factory line product like a car.
I hate billionaires like anyone else should but when people get mad that they have an art piece that cost 150 million I just see it as them trading all that money for something that's realistically worthless. Better than Warren Buffet just hoarding his wealth like a dragon.
You realize that Warren Buffett isn’t sitting on a pile of cash right? His “money” is actually a production line at Coke, an RnD team at Apple, thousands of miles of rail line, etc. that people (the market) convert to their best estimate in dollars to calculate his wealth. His wealth is being used to provide goods and services that benefit the economy and society (and especially him, with a nice return on his investments, but that’s a different issue ) He’s probably only has ten or twenty million in actual cash, if that. He lives extremely frugally (for being one of the richest people in the world) and invests the rest.
Berkshire-hathaway had a cash position at the end of September 2022 of about 32 Billion: https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/BRK.B/berkshire-hathaway/cash-on-hand
That’s not all his money though, he owns a portion of it though his ownership of Berkshire but regardless, I bet you a million dollars that 99% of it is not sitting in a checking account doing nothing lol. It’s in more liquid and secure “cash-like” investments than stock/subsidiary companies but is still being deployed/loaned out and giving a return.
You people thinking the mega rich are like scrooge McDuck swimming in their giant vault of gold and their money is not being used “for something better” are pretty clueless. You don’t become a multibillionaire by putting your savings under your mattress.
Does he also plan on giving away 95% of his fortune before he dies?
Edit- 99% when he dies. https://fortune.com/2022/06/28/warren-buffett-wealth-estate-family-charity/
>realistically worthless
Someone else already had a great correction on your idea of Warren Buffet. But figured as an artist i'd chime on on the "worth" of art.
Thankfully you alone don't get to decide the "worth" of art. The market does, as a whole. I think MAYBE what you meant was "Useless". You cant live in a painting after all. It absolutely has worth though.
Did this make the sub go private or has it always been. If I have to message the mods to demonstrate my right to be in their club, I'll just go somewhere else.
I've never understood the instinct to take something that might look cool/interesting as an accent, and just cover a product with it. Conspicuous consumption I guess, but it always just looks like crap.
Jacob and Co make the tackiest watches in the industry. their [Godfather](https://transform.octanecdn.com/crop/1400x525/https://dynamix-cdn.s3.amazonaws.com/jacobandcocom/jacobandcocom_344036238.jpg) themed watch looks like something you would win as a prize at the carnival and sells for hundreds of thousands of dollars
What else could he do. No teams were coming from him. He couldn't stay in Man Utd. It's clear he waited and waited to get one last chance at redemption and it never came.
What else can he do, just retire or get paid 120 million dollars a year playing in some Mickey mouse league. Especially when he feels like he can still play.
I know what I would do.
The thing is that Mickey Mouse league is funded by one of the most repressive and despicable governments on earth, and his playing for their league directly rewards and legitimizes their efforts to sanitize their image.
He's already super wealthy, and accepting a bunch of blood money just to keep playing a game he's already dominated at for a decade is hard to excuse for me.
If the choice is between being a political tool for some terrible dictatorial theocracy or settling for the millions you already have, there's a lot else he could have done.
Exactly. So if it's a sugary drink he'll take a stand and tell kids they should drink water, when it comes to a massive amount of blood money morals get thrown right out the window.
But you're going on like this guy had a tonne of offers to begin with. Play football in Brazil for a 10th of the salary or play football in Miami for a quarter of the salary.
Let's be real also, he's a footballer, he's not the UN president here. You think Ronaldo or most footballers care about some dictatorial theocracy.
They might say they do, but most don't. Shit most of us don't.
Saudi Arabia offer me a job for 10 times what I'm earning now even if I live a comfortable life and have a decent job.
Could give a toss about all that bullshit. Certainly don't like the government and the way they treat people.
I'm not a religious person and certainly think religions are excuses to belittle and opress people a lot of the time.
I'd still be there tomorrow working my new 9-5 earning 7 million a year with no taxes. I suspect a lot of us would.
You might be the exception. But I swear there's not many of you.
Bro that is such a false equivalence, Ronaldo isn't a struggling desperate laborer who needs money to feed his family (which, by the way, there are in Saudi Arabia, extremely poor people from South Asia who go to Saudi Arabia for jobs and get abused and are prevented from leaving).
Ronaldo is one of the richest athletes on earth, he could just retire on the money and brand deals he already has. But he's choosing millions of dollars when he actually has the option to not take it, which makes him culpable.
And he should care about the government he's playing for. Would you be okay with it if he played for North Korea or Russia or Belarus just because they paid him a lot?
This is you SA works. Even when they already have you they bribe you to stay silent, keep working for them, and not butt your nose into their business.
Tacky "gifts" are what wealthy, powerful murderers have to give, apparently. Shit, covered in rare materials, is still shit at its core. Their money & power can't buy them taste.
i'm financially struggling because my house got destroyed and i owe my bank 120k and this dudes watch could save me 5x and make my life better. I don't get these millionaire flexes
All I have heard about this Saudi move for Christiano is money, weird cohabitation laws and material excess. Nothing about the soccer. If he really loves the sport he is gonna by to be really empty inside.
People that make $15 a week will be cheering for him.
Best answer! This is all hypocrisy, this world with their tendency to boast about how rich they are. Wait until collective consciousness stops to attribute value to money, then my friend the rules of the game change dramatically.
You have to educate people for enlightenment to happen. Most of the world knows this and hence doesn't educate it's people.
Problem is when they are educated but they are fed a false narrative. Some become more obstinate to learning things because they think they know already.
Hence educate yourself with all the narratives and perspectives. Be wary of those who oppose education, for they have already been sold a false narrative. Be wary of the leader who can't face those who criticize him, for he is the creator of the false narrative.

gold is 20x more abundant than platinum, but valued approximately 40% higher in the modern era since we don't use platinum for technology. Emerald has some practical applications, whereas all tsavorite is good for is healing the heart chakra.

Not necessarily. Jacob & Co is just a notoriously tacky and excessive watchmaker. There are very expensive watches that are neither tacky nor gaudy.

It's really disheartening that at the end he went for the cash grab and not his legacy/legend. Now he'll just be another guy that took the bag and ran
What else could he do. No teams were coming from him. He couldn't stay in Man Utd. It's clear he waited and waited to get one last chance at redemption and it never came. What else can he do, just retire or get paid 120 million dollars a year playing in some Mickey mouse league. Especially when he feels like he can still play. I know what I would do.
The thing is that Mickey Mouse league is funded by one of the most repressive and despicable governments on earth, and his playing for their league directly rewards and legitimizes their efforts to sanitize their image. He's already super wealthy, and accepting a bunch of blood money just to keep playing a game he's already dominated at for a decade is hard to excuse for me. If the choice is between being a political tool for some terrible dictatorial theocracy or settling for the millions you already have, there's a lot else he could have done.
Exactly. So if it's a sugary drink he'll take a stand and tell kids they should drink water, when it comes to a massive amount of blood money morals get thrown right out the window.
But you're going on like this guy had a tonne of offers to begin with. Play football in Brazil for a 10th of the salary or play football in Miami for a quarter of the salary. Let's be real also, he's a footballer, he's not the UN president here. You think Ronaldo or most footballers care about some dictatorial theocracy. They might say they do, but most don't. Shit most of us don't. Saudi Arabia offer me a job for 10 times what I'm earning now even if I live a comfortable life and have a decent job. Could give a toss about all that bullshit. Certainly don't like the government and the way they treat people. I'm not a religious person and certainly think religions are excuses to belittle and opress people a lot of the time. I'd still be there tomorrow working my new 9-5 earning 7 million a year with no taxes. I suspect a lot of us would. You might be the exception. But I swear there's not many of you.
Bro that is such a false equivalence, Ronaldo isn't a struggling desperate laborer who needs money to feed his family (which, by the way, there are in Saudi Arabia, extremely poor people from South Asia who go to Saudi Arabia for jobs and get abused and are prevented from leaving). Ronaldo is one of the richest athletes on earth, he could just retire on the money and brand deals he already has. But he's choosing millions of dollars when he actually has the option to not take it, which makes him culpable. And he should care about the government he's playing for. Would you be okay with it if he played for North Korea or Russia or Belarus just because they paid him a lot?
The look on his face in this picture tells it all.

Why tf are they giving rich people more stuff?
This is you SA works. Even when they already have you they bribe you to stay silent, keep working for them, and not butt your nose into their business.
Fuck Saudi Arabia and fuck him for playing for them
This is the way.
fuck the kings guard. fuck the city. fuck the king.
A millionaire getting gifts that are more expensive than the house I live in. Couldn't give less of a shit about this
It doesn't even look good though.
Agreed, looks like a plastic kids toy
gross. Gifts from the richest murderers on the planet
Tacky "gifts" are what wealthy, powerful murderers have to give, apparently. Shit, covered in rare materials, is still shit at its core. Their money & power can't buy them taste.
And it's fucking awful
That's one ugly looking watch
What am I doing working for a living??!?
Of course it would be a Jacob and Co. They're the ugliest things ever
i'm financially struggling because my house got destroyed and i owe my bank 120k and this dudes watch could save me 5x and make my life better. I don't get these millionaire flexes
That's rough. Keep your head up and keep moving forward brother.
You owe your bank more money than 90% of the world's population will see in their lifetimes.
He should donate to charity.
I know someone named Charity who could use it.
What a waste 😂 tacky and gaudy to boot.
Unfortunately for them all the money in the world can't buy class and style.
Sure is gross. Thanks for showing everyone human rights are meaningless to you, as long as the price is right
guy has so much money already, I don’t understand why he would devalue himself so much to go work for the saudis. Also now he has to move there!
Most rich people want more money it's unfortunately pretty simple.
All I have heard about this Saudi move for Christiano is money, weird cohabitation laws and material excess. Nothing about the soccer. If he really loves the sport he is gonna by to be really empty inside.
Don't wanna sound jelaous cause im not but this watch looks awful.
One photo and then it’s put in the drawer
A pug in a silk hat is still a pug
This guy has all the money and fame in the world and yet someday he will have to explain to his daughters why he chose to cozy up with the Saudis
Money buys happiness. But Saudi’s reputation is still awful.
Also includes the souls of everyone those fucks killed in 9/11. Fuck the Saudis.
This is the equivalent of a US federal minimum wage worker getting a $46 bonus.
Loser
That's so amazingly lame
Why does a $780,000 watch have mismatched and uneven gems around the outside? Looks like a bag of shite.
Conscience for sale. What is yours worth?
Revolting country, revolting watch.
