    I love buying from aliexpress. What will I get? Who fucking knows. Authentic products in their original packaging? Pure monoatomic cadmium? A cutting edge prototype that wasn’t supposed to leave the lab? A product loaded with viruses and malware? Something totally different from what I ordered by somehow still awesome? I fucking love seeing the DHL label on my stoop it gives me life.

    Also when you’re buying craft supplies the suppliers often throw in freebies and gifts and extras which is always fun and charming.

      God this is so real. My favorite is trying to track down the latest fly by night bootleg blahaj seller. I love my 140cm pink and purple hajs so fuckin much. I’ve sent several to friends. The listing always goes down and then comes back up elsewhere.

      …I might order myself another giant purple haj later…

      One of the best videos I saw was of Linus Tech Tips buying a clearly counterfit Intel Xeon processor. Lets just say the jank was amazing. Its why I love ashens and big clive.
