Yesterday I pulled up to Colombo in Lisbon at like 6 pm for the AP x Swatch Royal Pop drop.
I was around #78 in line… so I literally paid Uber Eats guys to hold my spot while I went home to sleep 😭
10am comes. Store opens. Chaos.
Only ~40 pieces available and suddenly Portugal’s “priority queue” law activated:
pregnant women
elderly people
parents with kids
random “injured” dudes appearing out of nowhere
A whole SECOND queue spawned and basically cleaned out the entire stock before the original line even moved.
End of the story, at least i bought it to someone paying 2x the price.
AP is a made-up brand with zero value, like Hublot, with the same vibe as all the other Swiss brands now run by PE. The remaining serious brands are Patek, Swatch, Rolex, Casio, and Seiko.
Camadas da fofoca: e sabe quem é o CEO e fundador da Oakberry? Georgios Frangulis. O empresário brasileiro que é noivo de ninguém mais, ninguém menos que Aryna Sabalenka. A tenista número um do mundo.
Madrid 🇪🇸 might be the best…
and worst city in the world…
• Beautiful parks (Retiro)
• 30+ Michelin-star restaurants
• Late dinners, great vibes
• World-class museums (Prado)
• Stunning architecture
• 300+ days of sun
• High-speed rail to all of Europe
It’s lifestyle heaven.
Unfortunately…
• High taxes
• Heavy bureaucracy
• A culture optimized for siestas
Built for living well.
Not built for getting rich.
Go after you’ve made your money.
Purposefully turning off the halftime show
Let’s rally together and show big corporations they can’t just do whatever they want without consequences
(which equals viewership for them)
You are their benefit. Realize you have power.
Turn off this halftime. A fake American citizen performing who publicly hates America. I cannot support that.
@bamasjnr There’s no such thing as “mileage”.
But following that line of thought, men usually have higher mileage than women and thank God we don’t look at that bc if we knew, we’d be so disgusted we would stay single.
