One of my friends is a cellist and his cello is more expensive than my fucking house. He barely even plays the thing these days.

Surely this is wandering a bit from the topic of "consoomers."

It's easy to be messy when you have 500 skincare things and 200 fast fashion shirts which probably end up on the floor because she tried them on and realized they look bad and threw them there.

Thread tax, found this stepford decorating hoarder who redoes the mcmansion decor seemingly every month:

Odd how it all looks so cheap. I’m sure I’m not the only person who lives in a much humbler dwelling but who would be scandalized to have such tatty decorations up.
 
Christ these gamer gurl rooms hurt my eyes, I refuse to believe they actually have all those LEDs on when not making a Tik Tok post. And even then, this much pink is nauseating. You're not a 10 year old, stop this.
Though I suppose if having your room looks like this genuinely makes you happy for whatever reason, then you do you. But when it gets to the point where your whole personality revolves around this consoomer "uwu big tiddy gamer catgirl" aesthetic, that's when I'll start judging you lol.
 
Consoom Halloween (these are all from the same stretch of road):


This one is especially good since it crosses over with the kawaii-hoarder topic:

Account: @ohayoukitten where she has shit-tons more like this.
 
Sometimes I feel like people make up holidays just people can consoom more when the existing ones aren't enough. You know Sweetest Day? That one is coming up soon and was literally made by candy companies to sell more candy. Luckily a lot of people saw through the bullshit, at least I hope not. Heck, even when people complain Valentine's Day is just a "Hallmark holiday" they still consoom on Anti-Valentine's Day stuff that companies put out because of course.

I understand the tablet and having a deskpad, to an extent. It's the shit they place around it that I find rather baffling. If this was all stuff from the dollar store, then whatever, you know? But it's not. It's expensive. And it's also a lot of shit that gets plugged in, drawing in more power just so you can have rainbow pastel lights reflecting all over your desk.

There are women out there who genuinely love pink. But I feel like they still diversify their wardrobe and living spaces. I mean, I love pink. I love all that girl shit. Yet I wouldn't ever want to decorate my room like that and have Sakura Miku posters on my wall or uwu catgirl headphones. Because if my tastes change, what the hell do you do with all that? It's basically garbage. Better to spend $6 at the dollar store for some fake plants than $200 on some wall panels that will look dated next year.

I use Valentine's Day to tell my parents I love them. And I like Christmas because it's more about food and family in my world. But these secondary holidays are really annoying. And every month now wants you to consoom:

January: Buy Workout Shit and Fix yourself month! Do your Resolution Goals #squadgoals

February: Treat Yoself and your Bae with Chocolate! Or, if you hate the holiday, have Anti-Valentines Day with friends! Also it's Black History Month. Better support black business and BLM and BLACK.

March: St. Patrick's Day! Get fucking drunk, wear plastic shamrock glasses, drink green beer. Be obnoxious as possible!

April: Easter! ...Or is Easter in May? Who cares, buy chocolates, buy bunny toys, just BUY BUY BUY

May: May 2-4. Buy beer! Buy your camping shit! Make sure to consoooom!

June: LGBT QWEEEEER MONTH. RAINBOW EVERYTHING. Everything you buy MUST have a rainbow on it! BUY IT FAGGOT.

July: Wowie, it's Canada Day! And Independence Day! You better be consoooming cheap plastic flags, fireworks, and beer. Wipe that rainbow cum off your mouth and guzzle the patriotic twinkies now!

August: Shit, there must be something? Uhhh... Just make it a civic holiday and make everyone buy summer shit idk

September: Labour day! Better get ready for school! Buy a new planner! New binders! New pens! Buy all that shit to flex on your classmates how you can afford new supplies while your barely used old stuff sits in a bin under your bed!

October: Halloween! Pumpkin Spice! Fall! CONSOOM. Oh and Canadian Thanksgiving but that's not consoomable enough. Yet.

November: American Thanksgiving! Black Friday! Golly gee, aren't these amazon deals sooo amazing? Better get ready for December!

December: Christmas! The holiday of overbuying and putting yourself into debt! Remember you're worth is tied to how much money you spend on your family and friends. And don't forget New Years! Save up to get blackout drunk on expensive alcohol!

And repeat, until they can cram in more holidays. It is easy to ignore all this and just not participate in holiday spending, but people are so conditioned now they'll call you a cheapass for doing so. Which frankly, I find better than having a bunch of stupid decorations sitting in bins in my sheds.

@NoReturn You do truly have a talent for finding the most eye-boiling videos. That Rainbowthot was terrifying.

You know, I am starting to think those Jehovah's Witnesses not celebrating holidays are onto something...

God, everytime they do that tapping shit, I'm one step closer to killing myself. It's so dumb and annoying.

Trust me I know, I genuinely love pink too but excess of anything is a bad look, as I said. Sometimes I wonder if these girls, especially the 18+ ones, genuinely never leave the house and have their rich parents take care of everything because I can't for the life of me see anyone unironically going to the DMV or the bank in full cat girl ensemble, and that's their entire wardrobe.

Every time I see this I slowly start to regret everything I said about organized religion. Sure, christfags are annoying and whatever. Cool. But at least with religion you tend to do more positive with yourself and community versus buying overpriced plastic.

Religion as a personal basis for belief and spiritualism is great and can be a positive vector of self-improvement. Organized religion on the other hand is a mistake.

It's the difference between wanting to do good things because you want to become a better person and want to help your community, and wanting to do good things because you think you'll go to heaven, or because you think it'll increase your standing in the community.

It really doesn't matter if god exists or not religion is important because it brings people together. It gives people an identity, a sense of value and having a common belief that you can rally around is very important. People feel lost today lacking purpose and identity and I know that's because impart to the decline of religion. Churches, which are now just dumping grounds for the homeless, used to be a place where a neighborhood would gather and people would meet and mingle with each other forming friendships and relationships. Also the basic tenants of Juedo-Christian religion are basically "don't be a degenerate cunt" which is good.

These tacky LED strips aren't limited to just the TikTok "gaymur gurrrrrl". Take a look at any YouTuber whose videos are mostly their face, talking into a camera, and you'll see them used for a sort of ambient lighting effect. It can look good, I'll give them that, but most of these are kids just in their bedrooms, not even in a dedicated "studio" room. Oh and having such ambient lighting is of course also mandatory for your "battlestation" which lights up like a Christmas tree when you turn it on. :cryblood:
