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

Old ladies were getting punched in general, including Asians, and it was starting to piss off the azns, who were starting to talk about straying from the Coalition of the Ascendant. So #StopAsianHate was just a way to keep them in the coalition, which worked for a few years. That post-COVID period was a pretty interesting time.

I assume they are like any (formerly?) DEI-obsessed business where they think it’s a good thing some toad-looking lahteenah is driving their luxury SUV.

As for how they’re able to afford it, dealerships are offering more extended car loans than ever. Used to be 4-5 years was as long as it gets but now there’s loans that go beyond seven years. They’ll never keep it that long, they’ll just roll the balance over into the next one until it’s too unaffordable and they just walk away from the car loan. But their ESG stats look good that more minorities than ever own their luxury SUVs!
The #StopAsianHate shit got dropped like a bad habit when everyone started noticing the only altercations and videos they could find of asians being assaulted were 80% by negroes and 20% by hispanics. Since the whole thing was originally an attempt to pile on Whitey Hate(tm) it became very inconvenient and was dissolved as a "movement".
 
gesture based shortcut where shaking the phone a couple of times turns the flashlight on
You just reprogram your Android phone in the settings. I have double press the power button set as the flashlight, immensely useful and no need for a specific brand of phone. I stg tech literacy keeps plummeting and it's becoming more and more obvious

"you don't need a dedicated button for that, you can program your machine to do that" used to be a joke on people who use some kinda strange nuclear potato computer with a weird esoteric OS dug out from an ancient sumerian grave to describe how much shit they have to go thru just to get access to the right mouse button to get started on changing their desktop background

now it is slowly turning into people who can't even FIND the right mouse button and just demand a machine already come with their desired desktop image
 
Covid brought out the rot that always lingered in humanity and made it more acceptable to behave like antisocial freaks. Something about the lockdowns and everything around 2020-2021 really sped things along. I don't know if it was pre-covid or during covid, but there was a trend I remember where some were punching old ladies in the faces during around that period.
I think this social decay was all extraordinarily predictable as an outcome of "lockdowns". It's unfortunate I have to come off as sitting on my high horse like one of those dickheads that has all the answers and knows everything but anyone with the capacity to think would have and should have recognized enacting a mirror world totalitarian state to "fight covid" (based on absolutely no scientific principles whatsoever, mind you - straight from the keebler elf's mouth he made this shit up as he went) would eviscerate the social contract. Where every single person you know and love will die if you do anything but sit inside.....unless you are one of the CHOSEN.

If the power maker CHOOSES you then you are exempt from these nu-social rules based on criteria the power maker deems fit and changes daily and no logical human thinking can come up with their answer beforehand. Childhood vacation memories? Too dangerous. Attending grandma's last Thanksgiving or her subsequent funeral? Bigot, don't you know Covid-19 is racist and specifically targets black folx?

But a bunch of faggoty Hollyweird LARPers making streaming slop for you to consoom? They are ESSENTIAL. They are FAVORED and *chosen*. They may go outside as long as they wear ridiculous bubbles on their head that make no scientific sense by any possible metric. The nonsense layered on nonsense layered on showing young people in their formative years everything is just essentially an illusion like what mid 2000s nihilistic teens wrote their gay poetry about rubs down social fabric to nothing. Because now you have a whole bloc of people who never even experienced that social fabric formation at all. Just a giant gap of nothing where the 3rd or 4th Once In A Lifetime economic collapse was forced to occur because of an escaped Chinese Bioweapon that statistically threatened only those with multiple preexisting comorbidities over the age of 75.

Even when lots of the Asians tried calling out the Tyrones who were shoving people in front of trains, they got shut down :story:

Whenever I think about the lockdowns and pandemic besides I lost my study abroad program, I keep thinking about how the celebrities got together and sang imagine, pissing everyone off including me. What a fucking time.

the whole pandemic panic was a perfect example of modern mass psychogenic illness, people think it doesn't happen anymore because of the magical effects of the Current Year^tm, but it does, it simply isn't as obvious because the world at large has broader beliefs and more diverse psychological states than a small disjointed community, so instead of everyone meowing or dancing or seeing gnomes pop out everywhere, they get crazy in ways that are less objective and noticeable, like a collective case of paranoia

and it was like watching everyone fall back on some kinda tribal magical thinking, proof of what happens when people encounter a manufactured problem they can't solve
"if i wear a mask it'll go away... ok, it didn't, maybe if we all wear a mask, and stay away from eachother! what? we still need to go to work? ok, the workplace is a magical zone where distancing doesn't matter, we only need to stay 2 feet apart outside... unless you're doing something i deem important, then it no countsies! oh there's a vaccine now? we gotta take it to be safe! what? you're not letting me out of the house even though i took the vax? oh fuck, everyone has to take it or i'm not safe! everyone in my vacinity took it? uhhh, ok, but someone out there didn't take it so we're still not safe! oh the vaccine doesn't actually work... but it's SAFER if we take it, right? now everyone needs to get the vax but take off the masks and go back to work? wait wait about about- now the vax doesn't work and we need a booster? but i only just got i- NOW THE BOOSTER DOESN'T WORK? WAIT, WHAT ABOUT DISTANCI- WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE FIRING ME FOR SAYING THE VAX DOESN'T WORK, YOU JUST SAID IT DOESN'T? WHAT? WEAR A MASK? NO MASK? WEAR A MASK AGAIN? 2 FEET APART? DO THE HOCKEY POCKEY? TO THE WINDOW? TO THE WALL?"

I can't hear Imagine any more without thinking of this Steely Dan song (which is actually specifically mocking Imagine).
 
YouTube decided I needed to see this.
It's much worse than you would expect. Looking at the thumbnail, you probably think each 1000-2000 yen lucky draw will get them roughly equal value items, which would still be stupid. They spent $100 USD to get
2 $10-15 prize figures and a cheap electric toothbrush. And that's generous, the prize figures could easily have been $5 overstock.
There are sequels.
They could go to a store in the same shopping center and buy anything in there for less. There's a 0% chance anybody is winning any of the real "prizes" in there.

You ONLY see this shit successfully pulled with the english release versions of games. I fucking wish they let me learn fucking japanese back in the day not because of weeb shit but because the JP versions of games will forever be dirt cheap. I'll have to play NES or SNES megaman in moon runes if I want to play a non emulator port.
