minus-squareThe_v@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·1 month agoWhen you work with high value goods long enough in any field you get desensitized to it. However you compartmentalize it in weird ways. I think nothing of ordering $800K worth of stuff at work. Then I get home and refuse to pay $8 for a fancy coffee because it’s ridiculous.
