Bifl on a budget is hard to reconcile. I just don’t want to give anyone the impression that we are average joes who are casually interested in quality. Or that spending countless hours searching through the shelves at a second hand shop is worth the time spent.

Bifl isn’t a standard that can be applied for most people or most people’s things.

Example: pencils- Troika or Kaweco and 5.6mm 8b leads. They work. They also cost 45 dollars. Bifl.

Other pencils work, too. It doesn’t mean they’re buying substandard product because they buy Blackwings or whatever brand of wooden pencil they can afford. They’re just pencils. Can we please stop larping as regular people who only care about quality?
