      Just to understand the full cultural context, I assumed he was interested in the price because he was buying the bag.

      In the world of hoary gender stereotypes, it’s expected for men to buy women’s fashion objects (in fact, there was a study about how women’s bags are expensive loyalty signals to other women), and it is men who are expected to buy their OWN toys and, in fact, HIDE their purchases from women (good lord, all those AVSIM forums posts about their wives being gone for a week and what should they order).

      Edit: Hoary means old.

      Difference is, he’s going to use the PS5 daily for hours for a lot of enjoyment.

      She’s going to wear that poncho twice then toss it in the wardrobe.

        So the fuck what?

        Have you ever gone out for a steak or other pricey meal? You shit it out in the same toilet you do gruel, and gruel is cheaper, so I recommend eating gruel.

          Their point is that you can’t treat the 2 expenses as if they’re equivalent. They get used a vastly different amount.

          Also, generally you share expensive meals as dates, so that’d (presumably) be something they both enjoy

          You can jailbreak it then and install linux. There was a major exploit a few days ago that broke all ps5s up to that point.

              Don’t let it connect to the internet. I’m not familiar with the process of jailbreaking PS5’s, but I wouldn’t be surprised if an automatically installing security patch borks it

                Yeah, thats why i havent booted it in many moons; always needs to be old firmware to work, and i wanted to be ready for the next go. When i hear of an exploit thats likely to work, ill prep, and then just disable my router until its fixed up.

                It’s not that unlike early android flashing, idk what the scene is like now but always a matter of being outdated. Except its a lot easier now to have a backup search device for troubleshooting

                I want to hack my ps3 similarly. I hear that one is really good and easy to do simce the sustem was made to support stuff other than the firmware. Just haven’t been motivated.
