I recognize the author’s avatar and name! Amazing he hasn’t changed it in all these years.
Several years ago, Nilay Patel of the Verge reviewed an Apple product (think it was a phone) and lamented that it didn’t have style. That comment unleashed a wave of memes and ridicule towards him because he was known for wearing a spike bracelet with every outfit.
Well, I found the hoopla hilarious and jumped in a back and forth Patel was having with the author of this article. I was promptly blocked and still am to this day. I forget but quickly remember when I follow a link via Slack.
Totally off-topic ramble, carry on.

- underwater 5y agoThe guy has a point. He made a comment about a personal style preference, not a comment on the stylishness overall. And he wears something for sentimental reasons. The blog post was a cheap shot.
- meepmorp 5y agoWearing it for sentimental reasons doesn’t make it not tacky.
- underwater 5y agoSure, but he seems to know that it's tacky and not stylish.
