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

Guess his team doesn't like him watching anime:

Also dude is a moron because his office building has a free gym and a free coffee shop, yet he pays for his own coffee and goes to a luxury gym that costs at a minimum $2200/yr. The equipment there is also likely to be less fancy than Google's (a fully decked out corporate gym is a rounding error to a trillion dollar company)

More pointers that this is an advertising push. What are they pushing for I have little idea. They need more asian anime watchers?

 

[Fapcop]

Another bug-person in NYC. Not really a "what I spend in a day"-type video but I still think it fits in here.
After seeing his "break" consisting of watching three animes at once I kinda lost some will to live.
Of course, we have to have the gym- and the "yes I totally have friends" *insert crying wojak behind mask* montage

what also kills me just a little is the commenters actually longing for this kind of life. lol.

What an infantile life.

Starts “coding” at 11, has a triple anime break 45 minutes later.

The rest of his day is obviously just spent goofing off and pretending to work, between the numerous snack breaks.

And then going out till 3 am.

These are the people running your Internet, folks.

Ffs, just outsource all that shit to India. I guaran-fucking-tee you that Pajeet won’t spend an hour actually working and the rest of the time goofing up and discussing CURRENT TALKING POINT.

He’s either got severe ADHD, or actually fucking hates anime and just watches it because he’s Asian/needs a personality.

Why tf would you watch three shows at once “because they’re slow”.

Just watch something you like you twat!

Compare and contrast with a Japanese programmer: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e_TxH59MclA&vl=en

Solid salary man who puts in his 8 hours, doesn’t expect mama Google to give him everything for free, has a hobby. Doesn’t watch three animes while he’s supposed to work.

Almost like an adult life?!

At least he's cute, fit, rich (google pays $$$) and probably bangs hot korean STEM girls.
I fail to see how this dude is a bugman, and even moreso a consoomer. Someone having a lifestyle you don't like doesn't automatically make him a bugman. Unlike bugmen, this dude is actually benefiting living in a big city, and actually makes good money, otherwise he would never be able to afford such an appartment. He's basically a bughive chad, or, if you prefer, an agent of the Antichrist.

Idk man…

“Bugmen are what we get when a culture is infantilized, watered down and stripped of the very intellectual, philosophical and honourable fibre that once made it great. Totally dependent on the compromised support of his nanny state and high-tech devices”

Seems to fit pretty well. Replace “nanny state” with “Mama Google” and it’s a 100% match.

These types have no intrinsic likes or dislikes of their own and something needs to be pre-approved by others or fit what others think they would be into for them to pretend to "enjoy" it. It's why these types all somehow like or dislike the same shit at the same time in order to try to fit in. This is why he will try to watch anime even though he is obviously not interested in it. If this was the 90's and anime was still considered something for outcasts and not as mainstream as it is with hipster types now then he would have nothing to do with it.

There’s a weird performative aspect to this guy.

“Look at me, watching anime like a real
Asian, hehe!”

“Time to get some KOREAN barbecue! Because you know, I’m KOREAN!”

“Gonna go hang out with my KOREAN friends!”

And this despite him having super WASPy-Average Amerifag vibes.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he was adopted by white Americans (a few decades ago Korea was a big player in the international adoption market) and has been overcompensating his entire adult life.

That's just second generation Asian-Americans as a whole, tbh. They cling hard to whatever scraps of their parent's culture that they can to hide the fact that there's very little separating them in terms of their lifestyles and day-to-day culture from your average upper middle class white.

 

[Sleazy Car Salesman]

Call me crazy but watching anime or Netflix on 1,5x speed make senses. I did it. A lot of that kind of tv is clearly not high art, it's confort, it's mindless entertainment, and the pacing isn't great. In the case of anime-of-the season in particular it's often very redundant, with scripted conversations and stereotyped characters, but the issue isn't very different with Netflix. It's the realm of real tv, meandering documentaries, okay-enough tv shows... most of those programs are padded with dead air.

You watch it to get the story, and maybe take part in watercooler conversations but the experience can actually be vastly improved by watching it faster.

Watching three animes at once is a little bit insane though. One of the anime he was watching was good enough to deserve normal watching conditions imo.

Also, It's hilarious how pimply he is, it really doesn't go with his "Patrick Bateman if he was an asian tech guy" lifestyle.

Why even watch TV at that point? You obviously aren't getting anything out of it.

Also explains why based Asian parents just want their kids to succeed and have grandchildren, while (thankfully only a small minority) of second generation Asians get super spergy about their CULTURE, and REEEEE out if they see a white guy wear a kimono.

Literal NPC behavior. They’re coded to consume Netflix, read NYT.com and pretend to like comics.

 

[Elbow Greased Strength]

This person has several copies of the exact same fucking book from the same author, maybe they are alternate covers or something but still, at this level you jumped the shark, its not about the enjoyment of reading them anymore.

I had to take a look at my own bookshelves after seeing that photo and the only books I have multiples copies of are The Lord of the Rings, the Bible, Tao Te Ching and Quran.

The latter three because of different translations and LOTR because the old one dates back to around the time the films came out and has nostalgia value. I'd otherwise get rid of it because the appendices have fallen out and it's a beat up paperback version.

Spoken like someone who has never worked with them. They’d spend 60 hours a week in meetings to look busy, produce nothing, and demand more headcount in order to finish the project.

It’s sad how many of my Asian friends became anti-White racists once they enrolled in university and started to recount stories of racism they “experienced” that never happened. They can’t admit that they are cuturally the same as White people because whiteness is evil.

I remember seeing articles and shit ages ago about how wonderful it was to work at Google, showing off a cafeteria with five star gourmet chefs and blah blah blah, way back when.
I guess the labor shortage is striking Google, so they're doing a modern version of that to appeal to Asian zoomers

I doubt it’s marketing. It’s just someone bragging about living the high life after getting their first high paying job. He’s most likely broke. He earns around $196k/yr, but after NYC tax he only has $126k. Excluding stock and bonus, which are paid quarterly and yearly respectively, his monthly after tax pay is “only” $7600 assuming zero retirement contributions, insurance premiums, and other paycheck deductions.

An apartment with his view has got to cost $5k/mo ($60k/yr) if not more. He spends money on expensive Manhattan coffee and food despite getting high quality food and drink from work for free. He spends thousands on a gym membership that is likely duplicated twice by his luxury apartment and office. His entire lifestyle screams expensive and he probably has an enormous amounts of other expenses. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out he lives paycheck to paycheck, which is stupid when half of your pay is stock that can and has been decreasing. At the very least, he’s spending his entire cash salary.

There are groups of spoiled, sheltered minority groups who grew up in suburban whitebread communities, had professional parents, went to private school and all that and go out of their way to try to act as "cultural" as possible and pretend to be victims despite being more privileged than almost the entire world and hell, even most crackers in Burgerland. Basically the new version of wiggers from the 90's and 2000's who tried to act like tough dickheads and trying to emulate "urban" black behavior despite growing up in wealthy white suburbs.

In fact that are more showy than your average upper middle class white (as in acting like niggers and dressing like Niggers)

Read a survey years ago where something like 40% of all reading for pleasure was done either in the bath, on the toilet, or at the beach/pool. None of those are kind to dropped electronics.

In all fairness they aren't very kind to paper either but at least I can dry out and salvage a book most of the time.

I've dropped my 1st gen Kindle Paperwhite in the bath around 5-6 times over 11 years of ownership and you couldn't tell. Can't imagine the same for the physical book.
I was super scared the first two times it happened (I've spent more than a half of my first paycheck on it ) but it seems to be built with heavy use in mind.

Spoiler

I was debating getting the newer model (the first one's e-ink screen is not so nice after you have the chance to compare it to a modern iteration) but I'm afraid it wouldn't last as long.

 

[Airbrushed Van Art]

But...isn't that Lego? Surely the whole point of Lego (as opposed to other kinds of model) is that it can be taken apart and put back together?

That’s how my Lego fanatic 10-year old plays with them. Builds the set with instructions once, tears it apart to make his own creations. Super brilliant and creative.

Don't hate me because I am too galaxy-brained. I just need my entertainment to be fast-paced to be enjoyable because I have both ADD and 145IQ.

For an actual good movie/tv show, something artistic, auteur-ish I would watch at normal speed

 

[Vingle]

I watch most series at 1.5, because it is too god damn boring otherwise.
