Plagued Consoomers / Consoomer Culture - Because if it has a recogniseable brand on it, I’d buy it!

It really depends. I know two people who never ever part with a book once they acquire it.

One is extremely discerning about what goes on his shelf and he rereads his books regularly. The other just accumulates everything and while she does buy a lot of books for herself and read them, she also won't refuse any book that others give her and often ends up with random boxes of crap from people cleaning off their own bookshelves. She used to be a voracious reader but has become disabled in the past couple of years to the point she needs people to read to her because she can't see the print anymore when she studies.

Me, I read all my books, and I either keep them to read again or shuffle them along to new owners. It's just that sometimes the 'too read' pile and the 'keep piles' get out of hand and need firm pruning.

I read all my comics but I haven't read all my books. I like to keep everything I buy as it makes for a good thing to pass on. As a kid I loved going through my Grandma's massive book collection. I probably buy a new book once every 7 months or so at this point but I have such a large collection it will take years for me to read it all.

The other day, I read that red skin could be a sign of diabetes. And dude, he ate the food made by the nigress with his hands. Is prohibiting the use of cutlery a part of black history month, since niggers usually don't have access to it?

And all the fucking vids in your post are almost 30 min, they are so tedious and boring to watch through.

Nah man, you gotta skip through and watch them at 2x speed. It's nightmare-fuel kino.
Like, listen to this one, the cadence sounds like he's trying to be Doug from Up.

I always wondered how often book hoarders actually re-read their hoard, if they even read all the books at all. I've ran into quite a few and it's considered the "acceptable" type of hoarding because books = smart.

I think part of the problem is that you never know if you'll want to read that book again. Same thing goes with video games or movies. You might read, watch or play it once and think immediately afterwards that you'll never do it again. But then a few years down the road you suddenly want to and since you still have it in your collection you can.

Got a consoomer story from the car world today. I've said before that sites like BringATrailer or Collecting Cars are absolute cancer and are artificially driving up the cost of decent classic cars due to their effortpost adverts catering to a presentation-obsessed audience of gay redditors.

I believe that over the last few days we have reached peak BringATrailer:

Yes, that's right. Now you can own a BMW M Technic steering wheel for the same price as a crusty automatic 316i! You might be asking why this wheel fetched so much money, and it's all down to that magic size of 370mm.

This particular wheel is rare, even by M Technic back-catalogue standards. You'll see a lot of other wheels in this style and some that even look the same at first glance, but those are 385mm and who wants that?

I find it amazing that the car scene has gulped this down to such a degree, no steering wheel is worth 2 grand.

The other day I saw this at the liquor store and bought it because I wanted mead and it was the only mead in stock. Maybe I'm just too hardcore an anti-consoomer or something, but something about it bothered me.

It was good, but overpriced for what it was. I'm sure someone, somewhere bought this and keeps the bottle in their room next to the rest of their Star Wars horde.

I'm glad it was at least decent. I think we've all seen way too many things that just stick a IP on the label on some sugar water and call it a day.

Superbowl ads have been as big of a draw to the Superbowl as the actual football game as long as I can remember, though now that I think of it, that really is a seriously consoomer-tier thing to care about. Commercials are generally seen as a necessary evil, except for Super Bowl Sunday, because the ad space starts at seven figures and the draw is that they're really gonna go all out and shove their brand in your face. I get the appeal, the appeal that the ads are big budget short films, but they can't really be films with any substance, because their entire purpose is to sell you on a product. Not to mention, personally, I know I've seen a bunch of assorted Super Bowl ads, yet the only one I can remember was this one ad for a local place, I think maybe like an auto mechanic, where it was literally just the guy and some employees of his in a shop saying "Yep, we paid a fortune for this super bowl ad! Everyone wave to the camera! Well if you need your brakes fixed or some shit, come on down to Chuck's Queers and Rears, and we'll inspect your tailpipe for free"
