I was looking up shit related to 3DS piracy and came across this redditor on /r/3ds:

If you aren't aware, each Pokemon game comes in 2 versions that only differ by a few exclusive pokemons to encourage trading, so he essentially bought the same game (that he won't play since he wants it sealed) twice multiple times.
The guy then said that he hasn't enjoyed a Pokemon game since Platinum.

So yeah, this guy bought sealed duplicate copies of a dozen games he doesn't even enjoy and received 1142 upvotes and a Reddit Gold™ for it.

This is why I only play Pokemon hax that mod in all of the Pokemon for a generation, because nigga I don't want to play 2 games back to back unless it has an incredibly riveting story and gameplay, which Pokemon doesn't.

Re yaoi paddles, here's an informative video on them. Tranny Phil has one.


tl;dw don't randomly attack people at conventions, you could actually break their tailbones
 
I know people here may lean to atheistic territory but you know what, if I was the pope, I would immediately kill off Matrimony. Everything about that "sacrament" is pure horseshit that Jesus would be rolling in the clouds after seeing what happened to it.

Considering what it has become, one-time extravaganzas, with less-than-respectful people who will probably divorce at a moment's notice, you can see that even if you are Christian or not, weddings should be removed and no one would miss it.
Do you think being a bad spouse is a new thing? The levels of consoomerism available to normal people is, but I don't think that generally encourages good people to be bad spouses.
 
Oh wow, an "epic reusable glass bottle." As opposed to all those other glass bottle with twist tops that self destruct after you use them? Is this marketed to retards? Not to mention that this bottle isn't really recyclable because it is a unique bottle shape.

and on that same note:
"How the Rich do Disney"

I just finished watching this, and it sort of fucked me up. This girl admitted she paid these exorbitant prices for... a day of eating? How can people justify wasting this type of money? Spending up to $15,000 to eat and get valet parking is actual lunacy.

Even if you can easily afford it, I again question why. Personal chef's for an evening have to be way cheaper unless you go for some celebrity chef, and even though there's 12 spots and your friends can split the bill, it's still over $1,000 for a meal. Never in my fucking life would I ever pay that much money for a single dining experience. And you know this isn't really marketed for the "rich" because I doubt rich people would even waste their time going to Disneyland where they'd be forced to see Common Folk. This really seems tailored to get those hardcore Disney fanatics to blow their money for a chance of being treated "richly".

Which is just... sad. (:_(

Ever since I made my last post about the infestation of the Youtooz community, Youtooz has decided to release a new line of consoomer bait. However, it isn't a figure or a plush toy of an e-celeb that will most likely get exposed as a sex pest in a year, this time they decided to start making branded fruit juices to sell with a massive markup.
Unsurprisingly this website is full of crap marketing about how this fruit juice is vegan and made in the US

Youtooz believes that their rebranded Snapple bottle is worth about 20$ for a six pack.
View attachment 2578535
For a comparison, an equivalent strawberry lemonade costs around 3 dollars at Target, which makes Toozies an 80% upcharge just for the branding.

However as expected, the Youtooz drones just drink it up anyways.View attachment 2578584

They do it because it gives them the illusion of having bought a unique experience. Big brands took the “don’t buy things, buy experiences” philosophy and shoved it up our asses, basically. Disney just happens to be obscenely good at this.
 
Disney removed all the cool shit that was once exclusive to the very wealthy because of "bad optics"

Now you can no longer get a ring side seat in the tunnels to watch the after hours fight club where all the character actors duke it out.

I think they mean "Recyclable" as in "You, yourself, can use it for something else" and not "This can be recycled like an aluminum can."
Also Voss bottles >>>>>> Other glass bottles. Yes, you're paying like $5 for water, but what you're actually doing is buying a 200ml water bottle for $5.
She also owns a replica Sleeping Beauty book as a journal.

And if you're wondering why she's not actually writing in it. It's because it costs $60.

I'm starting to understand something, and I've been learning it from you guys.
Namely, there is a split between "real wealth" and this weird "wealthy" psuedo-culture that we see here.
It isn't a matter of the whole "Perceived wealthy and powerful vs. truly wealthy and powerful" (see image below) but something that happens at the lower tiers where more people reside.

To those of you who understand it better than I do, please correct me, but here's my current understanding.
In one category, you have the people who live in paid-off homes and can go on vacations where they don't have to pay for a place to stay. Stuff like that.
Then there's the category of people who spend money on the things in the "How the rich do Disney" video. I used to think those people were all over-leveraged or living on the edge, but I was wrong, wasn't I? This is more of a priorities thing.
E.g. If I gave each one $7000...
That's 2 shares of GOOG + some partial shares

or if you want to buy precious metal. That's ~4oz of gold

or this piece of land

But you can't show off a stock to your friends on social media, and gold just sits around in a lockbox or vault, and that piece of land is in bumfuck North Dakota.
It could also buy 1 Cartier love bracelet
2.PNG

or 1 trip to Disney's Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser™ ®©$$$ with some spending money

or this shit
or ~400 Funkos if you buy most of them retail and splurge on a few expensive ones.
I guess what I'm getting at then, is that this is something to do with comfort and enjoyment. Right? It's not a misunderstanding of "How to be wealthy" or people with money being tricked out of their money by Disney or whatever, it's that Disney is actually right. They really are providing something to meet demand.

They’re absolutely providing enjoyment and comfort and they are indeed providing something to meet demand. But this issue has many, many layers.

Was this demand organic or artificially created?
Why is “mediocre best” what is being demanded and not actual “best best”?
Why people are investing so much in fake expenses and not in real one (that would cost them basically the same)?
What are the social and psychological ramifications of buying surrogates of the real thing?

This is all exactly the same things I want to know, and why this thread in particular is so fascinating. I really want to learn more about what's happening in their heads, and what factors are at play here.
 
Then there's the category of people who spend money on the things in the "How the rich do Disney" video.
one of the first things she says in that video is how "its still doable" or something like that and how "YOU can still get the VIP treatment" . I am thinking this is not being advertised for the truly wealthy but for the moderately affluent middle class who still see this as expensive for their income but "affordable" if they juuust save some more or go into debt for it. Its being sold more from an insidious aspirational angle.

Just give me a Dolewhip and a Turkey leg.
 
Just subtract the cake, then add shitloads of meat
Killing an entire cow for your wedding is a tried and true tradition, tho.
Cake can burn.

Sure they'll write and draw smut, heaps of it, but it's not nearly as degenerate as the hentai dudebros
*pretend I put up Optimistic here because no formatting button works for me*
Also, girls go potty.

Fangirls are just as horrifically disgusting as men
I noticed that a lot of guys on here are in REALLY obvious denial that women actually do bad, period. Any woman being disgusting is going to be assumed to be a troon*. Any crazy that befalls mostly women is either downplayed or a single guy/troon doing it is latched onto.
Like, I mean, one of big cows is a guy who does what I used to see in female-heavy fandom spaces a lot, and everyone in there treated as normal.
Fuck, you gotta spam people with that fanon stuff wiki pages untill they puke sometimes...

*Some of this is on local radfems.
 
When I was a kid, I was a Disney fan (this was right before Disney went jewish and then gay), but the Disney adults fans I started to see even in the early 90s just completely turned me off to the whole brand, I remember going to Disneyland at about the same time and there were already huge groups of adults with no kids in sight, it used to be that you'd be slightly embarrassed to do that.

Nothing weird here, to me, this is Pokemon's main audience, this is the very same kind of people who bought both versions of Pokemon SwSh just to own the haters and to get some easy nerd creed, and i'm pretty sure GameFreak is fully aware of that.

I think that's because most guys are more visual, so the Andrew Dobson inflation art, furries, and other such degeneracies such as snapping photos of yourself wearing a diaper are more common on the internet now to be disgusted at than what girls flock to, which is usually fanfiction. I mean, who the fuck is actually going to sit down and read a 140 Chapter Dog Penis fic? I refuse, and I bet most other girls just block the tag too. Guys sure the fuck won't. So really, the "writer" (I say that loosely) who did it basically gets no clapback at their creepy fetish unless someone makes a comment saying "what the fuck?". And even then, with AO3 now being the big thing, those comments are just deleted and writing guys dog-dicking each other is normalized.

Hell, you can go on etsy and buy pins proudly saying you love writing men like dog substitutes.

I know it seems weird that I'm irrationally angry at this, but it's really disgusting to look up obscure (male) characters you like from a franchise and instead of finding nice art or maybe something interesting, you get to witness the absolute depravity of mentally ill girls jerking off on destroying them in every conceivable way. All in the name of flicking their sad bean and internet popularity.

And if you're wondering why she's not actually writing in it. It's because it costs $60.

...I mean, she might as well just fucking use it. That's not going to increase in value, unless by chance some other Disney weirdo will buy it for more. But I have a feeling this girl is the type to *never* sell their Disney stuff. So that book is just going to sit collecting dust.

And man, I don't care if that piece of land is in bumfuck North Dakota. Property for that cheap is astounding. But yeah, it doesn't have "flexing on instagram" appeal. So it's no wonder it's unsold. After all, every photo you take now must be done for maximum Aesthetics.
