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

Another one of those look what we get at work vids.

Jesus Christ this is just an adult daycare. Also who the fuck thinks bringing hair tools for your workers is a good idea? Those vain assholes are going to be spending hours on their hair! Although most of them weren't hired to do any actual work it's still weird and really unprofessional.
 
Consooming: it's not just for the kids anymore!


She has 72. And she says, "it's so beautiful, I love it," about every one of them.
I tend not to shit on people for collecting toys if they are old, but I will always shit on ADULTS who buy new kids products. These childless adults are why disney can demand $90 for a backpack. These are supposed to be for children, kids should be able to afford them, but can't because the highest bidders are weird adults.

The video @tehpope posted reminds me simultaneously of both a school/college and a homeless shelter. It's bizarre.
The stuff is fancy, but when you strip away the aesthetics, it's all feeding the pod-living thing. None of these people have their own spaces, their apartments are full of nice "things" but that's it. They don't have any ties to the land, city, or community. Maybe they don't even think they're allowed to.
It's like the school-to-prison pipeline, only instead of prison, it's wagie-cages.
Which is fine, I get it, it keeps you comfy and safe, but it also traps you in perpetual adolescence. They don't even know they're there. It's not even really a refusal to "grow up" it's that not only do they not know they're there, they have no real reason to leave when all their needs are already being met.
More compilations while we're here:
 
Made it 1 minute 58 seconds into the first compilation video before hitting close.

That's a life to aspire to?
For many, yeah. Some people grow out of it, to be sure, and I've seen a lot of people "wake up" from the haze in their late 20s (coincidentally, this is when the human brain peaks in terms of its ability to recognize patterns), but for others it remains either a life goal to achieve - or if they already have it -something to cherish, be proud of, and maintain.
Take this dude from the SJW thread:
And it goes on and on and on…

This bitch wants everyone to be packed into Manhattan, likely depressed and committing crimes because let’s face it, big cities fucking suck.
Also something that keeps coming back to me is abandoning the suburbs and leaving all nature just completely wild and untouched. Isn’t it generally a good thing to be out in nature sometimes? It can’t be good for your mental health if the only green you see comes from a potted plant or some shitty community garden. Maybe he just knows that if he ever tried to take a hike, a squirrel could easily kill him for food.
Not @TerribleIdeas™ , the man in the screencaps: Adam Kotsko here is a writer in Chicago who thinks everyone should live in the city.
He doesn't just see his lifestyle as normal. He sees it as morally correct.

But Adam is a boring ol' philosophy teacher, let's bring our attention back to the real people and influencer-class.
Here we have some "Day at Netflix"

1661307364427.png
Bog-standard at this point, but wait! What's this? Netflix itself also has "Look how great we are" content as a way to recruit people. They have a whole channel for this called "We are Netflix".

This goes back a while too. Years ago Valve released a copy of their "employee handbook" and everyone got super-excited about it because it seemed like an amazing place to work:
They even got meta-videos:

i wonder if they have someone on the payroll who really squeezes them on those lame "job perks". Like a 500 pound deathfat who chugs down a thousand bucks of those complimentary snacks by himself eating on his desk from morning to evening.

Most people won't do that, so these drones are bragging about a few dollars of snacks they maybe eat once in a while if their diet allows it and some other little playground things in their monkey habitat that are little more than display because no one who is there for work actually uses on the regular and even if they did they'd get written down by HR for loitering during work hours.

If I'm at work I want the environment focused on the fucking work. I want to get shit done while I'm there and relax anywhere that is not work, not in some weird playground where I'm being watched and can't truly relax because I'm still in my workplace and being judged for what I'm doing by some Karen.

Lol HR people in these kind of "cool" IT companies are sometimes the worst. Like they would do something when they don't do shit themselves. Also, usually women or fags that have no idea what they are supposed to recruit for or the actual work being done.
 
Literally one hack for skincare
Go to Dermatologist
Sunscreen and hydratation is the hack

This is a toddler's idea of what should be ideal. Infinite snack and candies! Hair tools!
Meanwhile it's all designed so you never leave the office.

Imagine you had an ugly, crappy novelty bag. Eh, why not.
No imagine 550 ugly, crappy novelty bags.

This is terrifying. What a frightening thing you've discovered.

What is her accent? Her profile says Kansas, but she sounds like southern California.

In every office i've been that has things like that the ammenities are like art instalations. No one touches them. They are only there for when they are touring potential new recruits.


Like they would do something when they don't do shit themselves.
They would. Because Karens are busybodies and like playing Big Brother. They may not know shit about the work being done by everyone else but they will still make up their own standards to judge everyone, like not smiling enough when the office is singing happy birthday to someone.
 
I believe someone wants to make the thread
Yeah it's become a stupidly personal issue

Here's a contribution:


This woman has 12 kids and she posts these 5+ cart grocery hauls every. Week. She barely edits her shopping so it's always 30+ minutes of throwing boxes of every kind of cereal and bottled water into her carts (everyone in the family likes a different brand of water). She used to do this ritual at Wegmans but recently moved to WalMart after Wegmans asked her to stop filming there and buying everything and walking in through their employee entrance.

In the intro she says she has to take the kids back to school shopping, but she already took them back to school shopping and spent $4,000 at Dicks buying them Jordans and half gallon Yetis.


They recently went on vacation and spent $3,100 stocking their rental for 6 days. And yes, they did go out to eat for every meal of every day.


All this money has been aquired rapidly since they blew up across Youtube and Tiktok a few months ago. They choose not to spend money on their septic system and just buy everything disposable.

She says she expects none of her kids to go to college.
