Gluten and lactose-free options are usually more expensive than regular food. So it isn't even farfetched.

That whole collection, if mostly organic and bought at launch value, is less than 8-10 40k products. Collecting games isn't really all that bad, even if just on Steam. The fact games are so easily used and consumed doesn't mean it's not a value-wise alright thing to collect. All of Resident Evil is what, $50? That's barely one 40k mini.

I’m sorry that I’m so late in this but the boolying and eventual radicalisation of poor Shoppy in this thread is brilliant.
Boo baskets are like Christmas Eve boxes, a pile of junk given before the event. Idk, doesn't it take away from the magic of the day itself when you’ve already received a load of stuff? We always got new pyjamas on Christmas Eve, probably for the pictures the next morning. Poor kids are being trained to consoom from birth.

Imagine buying 40k shit instead of a resin printer for $250 and rolling your own forever, would even make ones for my friends just to fuck over gws but we aren't autistic fags so nobody cares about 40k.

while the reason for that is usually that things that contain gluten or lactose need to be replaced with other things that dont, whereas if youre sprinkling peanuts on say, an ice cream cone, you could just.... not do that....
on the other hand prices for alternative food choices ARE absurd.... a bag of gluten free flour might cost 10% more for the manufacturer, but theyll charge you 500% more for the final dish because they know damn well you have no choice if you have a legitimate allergy
so yeah, i can absolutely envision a shop charging you if you wanna OMIT the penuts on top of your dish
alt foods are a whole nother can of worms, and idk if its entirely consumerist, especially if you eat them out of necessity as opposed to some kinda trend, but the whole industry is a joke
hell, the peanut analogy isnt even far off, since some companies WILL add certain allergens to food for unnecessary reasons and then charge you more for a varient without that ingredient
a cereal manufacturer might add flour to otherwise gluten free cornflakes, just to give in a nicer appearance or make it slightly crunchier or something, alright fair enough... but then bring out an identical product without that final sprinkling of flour and charge you more for it, not for a version with a replacement for the ingredient, just a lack of it

A lot of this is down to equipment issues. In order to make gf cornflakes, the cornflake machine has to be stripped down and sanitised, and the amount of time it spends off-line is money down the drain for product not manufactured. Same reason it costs extra for a gf dish in a restaurant. Instead of just taking the meal from the bulk pot that's been sitting prepared since before opening, the kitchen bench has to be sterilised and a separate, small meal has to be made from scratch.

I’m kind of surprised as to how they’re able to boast about this in an un-ironic way.

Still telling that we have to genuinely think about whether this is real or not.

A good example of that is this - https://bridgecitytools.com/ He barley "designs" tools these days and was bought out by China a while ago production was moved from various places he outsourced production to in the US to China and the quality and QA have gone to shit (an where not all that great to begin with) but the prices stay the same for sub par tools.
This https://bridgecitytools.com/products/hp-12-smoothing-plane sells for when not on sale $1080 and requires a lot of work to get working correctly out the box - is very badly designed when it comes to Iron removal for sharpening (your supposed to tip it out onto your hand and it's dual edged too so it's begging slice you up).

Sorry to bump this but my post above is related to this -
Direct link.
I missed this but Rex Kruger has done a review of that exact plane, a plane costing that much even at a sale price should NOT require that much set up / fixing. You can find a new tool or even a old one for a fraction of the cost that will work without having to do that much set up. At most you should have to camber the iron to your own preferences or adjust the tote (the handle for the non rhykenologist), and maybe waxing the Sole but that's something you'd do with any plane.

Looks like without real community or spirituality, a person really could turn to consumerism as a substitute.

Wait, John Economaki's outfit? When the fuck did he sell out? We were still teasing him about his legendary casting burrs in 2008.

Look, I don't hate Musk, but I only worship one Messiah, the one who was perfect and died on his cross. I think the lack of God and substitution with consumption of brands and idols is a interesting discussion of itself tbh.items.
