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

I think the beards are a desperate attempt to reclaim masculinity.
I had a brief conversation about it with a friend who was studying psychology, she said it was a coping mechanism for insecure men with bad self esteem, they want to hide their face as much as possible out of shame, the beard and thick glasses work as a sort mask to subconsciously hide behind, same with fedoras and eccentric trench coat combos, they'd prefer something thats external that draws attention as a form of faux armor because they feel it deflects from the ugliness they feel on the inside. they'd feel more exposed without it. I feel like is a very broad generalization given how common and natural facial hair is in men and how some dudes really do need thick frames for their shitty eyesight but i suppose there is a point to it too.

But wait, there's more! When your vision is REALLY shit you can't event buy the cute/trendy frames because the type of lenses you need won't fit in the damn frames.
And to prevent the thread from going too far off-track: Consoom frames

The collecting-> hoarding pipeline is what bothers me. Especially the "collecting" of perishable items like my rant on glass collecting

Maybe I'm overreacting and being autistic. But if people buy a bottle of perfume so they can resell the bottle, they should take the perfume out... like at least alcoholics empty out their bottles before they sell them. Ergo these idiot make-up/fragrance collectors are worse than alcoholics.

I also consider Funko Pops to be "perishable" since they're so specific. They're not generic cliches or cute animals. Tony Stark will just be a plastic chunk shaped like some dude once everyone forgets about comics.
Makeup hoarding is what gets me. It's expensive, perishable, and you know there's no way in hell whoever bought all that is going to even attempt to use it all up. Especially when the most in vogue makeup to consoom is eyeshadow palettes.

yep, i am one of such cases. I always wore very slim and light frames but i was told my last formula was difficult to adapt to those types of frames so i got thicker ones. Is true they do have more depth of field, is less annoying when looking sideways because i don't see the edge of the frame but they also fall off more easily. I do sometimes go out with the old frames because i like how they look better and can still see okayish with them. the hipster ones are not my go to as a fashion choice even though i do see better with them.

There's a more elegant theory:

Anyone want an off brand Funko of your favorite soytuber? what about your favorite E-whore, like Pokimane and Neekoolul? what about beating internet memes to death by turning them into merch?

If you have a broad circle of acquaintances (from working and socializing with different people or whatever reason) you'll notice something really quickly:

*EVERY male who isn't a college graduate and/or works in a blue-collar job has facial hair and tattoos. In my last large workplace there were no exceptions to this.
*For people in the "professional" world it's optional - there is almost no place left where you can't have a well-groomed beard if you want to (if you're going to teach at BYU or run for president, those are about the only exceptions) - but the older, whiter, and more well-compensated the job tends to be, the less likely it is that you will see facial hair.

If you're a man trying to emulate success, you might want to look like people in six-figure jobs i.e. clean-shaven, dressed well, and if you need corrective vision either some conservative glasses or contacts/laser surgery.

If you run a Youtube channel for rubbing Funko Pops on your micropenis, you obviously have nothing to do with that world. What you need to do is play down any education or advantages you may have had. If your parents spent money on good schools and THIS is the result, then you'd kill yourself if you really thought about it. So, look more like someone who got tossed out of the two-bedroom house at age 18 and had go to work at Wendy's - unkempt hair, shitty unstyled beard that just means you're too depressed to shave, giant black glasses that someone told you were popular in Brooklyn in 2006, and some comic book character tats. At least then no one will ask you why you aren't doing something better with your time and you might get more pageviews from the people who distrust elites.
 
Read another book, you say?

Is this a consoomer singularity?

All of that in a shitty Chinese coffee mug. Drink the cope!
 
I just learned that the newer NBA games have unskippable ads in them. It started around the 2019 game I think.

If it wasn't for the intended audience that keeps buying these games I'd be mad at this practice. But they keep buying the yearly release which are pretty much exactly the same, except it's the current year.


There are some dumbasses or liars/in denials who tell that they want to stop buying these games but can't since 2k/EA (which are indeed despicable in their own right) are the only ones who have a hold over these games on the market, not knowing that there are other games to try and play out there. And you can pretty much play an older release that has none of the bullshit.

These people can get advertised on to death, I hope 2K fucks these people over more by making emails and phone number mandatory for spam ads in these games, most people that aren't infuriated and self aware would eat it up. Speaking of which:
