It'd be like living in the late '90s and believing the Beanie Baby craze is the end of civilization as we know it, rather than just a dumb speculative bubble that you can ignore if you think it's a bad idea. Hell, at least crypto has theoretical justification for its valuation.

Is there a psychopathology that describes someone who considers every trivial thing he doesn't like as an imminent worldwide calamity? Because whatever that's called, Jim has it in spades.

What about the current implementations is so bad? I don't know enough about the various currencies to understand what they're all doing wrong.

The thing is I don't believe Jim actually believes these things are any kind of problem. I really think the only reason he's going so hard on NFTs and crypto lately is because it's the first """new""" topic he's had to complain about in literally years.

It's similar to how he doesn't actually believe the UK is shoah-ing troons, as evidenced by the fact he's planning another trip there next year, but he knows it gets him attention when he screeches about 'literal genocide'.

Oh yeah, the thing that I find most interesting about Sterling is this blatant cynicism he has, and I'm not talking about his attitude towards videogames, he havent give a singular fuck about that for a while now, and we all know that he would rather do anything else than to talk about vidja, much less to play them.

No, I'm talking about how cynical Sterling is with this gender trash trend hopping bullshit. It is all fake, and he knows it. This whole shit about dress and lipstick is all pretend, kayfabe bullshit. Oh he acts indignant and self-rigthous on his videos, but he knows it is just an act, he doesn't really buy this bullshit, and has only given into because he wants attention, and wants to feel special because he is a sad sack and wants to be a part of the club.

But if push comes to shove, he will never cut his dick out.

Same with the neurodivergent shit. He found some quacks who told him what he wanted to hear, now he acts as if he has all the trendy neurological issue known to twitter, and acts as if just taking some pills is a brave thing to do. But, again, all bullshit, and in his quiet and private moments, he knows he doesn't have this shit.

Sterling is many things, but he doesn't strike me as delusional. Don't get me wrong, I think he is sincere when he wants to be seen as the "gender trash neurodivergent special person", but even he doesn't really believe that, but he is a lonley, sad fat man, probably with little to no friends, and twiiter craziness what he found to fill that hole. And by god he is trying to embrace it, even forcefull, but I don't think he is fooling anybody, more so himself, and so he gives this vibe of cynicism "I'm trying, I want to be, but I don't really am, you know it and I know it."

They have to say NFTs/cryptocurrencies are destroying the planet. Because otherwise you can say stuff like "if you don't like NFTs, then just don't participate in them? Why do you care what other people do if it doesn't hurt you?"

Everyone agrees that violence is bad and should be banned, barring self-defense (though some are rethinking this post-Rittenhouse), so their goal is to stretch everything into literal violence. NFTs require energy, all forms of energy usage destroy the planet (since there's no form of energy production that exists, that they support, that creates enough cost-free energy to supply the world), destroying the planet is violence against everyone on it. Therefore, participating in NFTs is violence and needs to be banned.

Same reason anything they don't like (including supporting trans rights in an insufficient manner) can be "transphobic" and transphobia is literal violence genociding troons. Or how the rule of law is "white supremacy" upheld by violence. Or capitalism is. Or whatever else they want and want NOW. It's all the same shit to this cult. It's like they read (not really, reading is fascist) Repressive Tolerance once and have formed an entire ideology based on implementing it. (Marcuse was serious, it's not Swiftian. Also, I'm not saying Marcuse invented this or is to blame, just that he wrote the most direct case for the principle.)

Funny. I never got the appeal of grown men playing with toys on camera.

Collecting toys is one hint less retarded than playing with them on camera, but it's not like they will raise in value (even more so in 10 or so years from now).

Maybe if you get a rare/limited edition collectible your kids may get their money back in 100 years from now, but it's not like the mass produced funkopops will be anything more than trash in 10 years from now. Even in the future, there's so many of them/so mass produced that they will be garbage. And nobody actively seeks out this shit, so they will just waste away.

I find it entertaining in a nostalgic sort of way, because a lot of the toys are from the era I grew up in, but I agree it's weird to hoard this shit as a grown man.

What I always wonder is --hypothetically speaking of course-- if Jim or any of these guys bring a woman home how do they explain it. Moreover, what do the women think when they walk into the room of a 30+ man and see Boglins and Mysterio figures all over the place.

That's what the man-cave is for. You don't put these things all over the living room or bedroom unless you already have a girl and she's a geek as well. You shove that stuff into its own room, out of the way of "casual" visitors. Keep your autism under wraps.

It's funny, because I had a coworker, a massive Trek fan, ask me for help figuring out why he couldn't get a girlfriend. Yeah, as it turns out seeing a living room plastered in TOS posters and paraphernalia does not increase your odds of scoring unless the girl is already a trekkie.

It really depends on what you collect. While Funko Pops have become the beanie babies of this generation, there is still a market for them.

There are 3 types of collectors: 1) Vintage collectors trying to recapture their childhood, 2) Brand Loyals that have been collecting since childhood and never stopped, and finally 3) The Hoarder, which buys any piece of faff for the rush of opening the box, playing with the toy for 5 minutes and throwing it in a box with all the other toys.

Vintage collecting can be expensive, but unless there is a re-issue they maintain a good amount of value since having a complete figure can be very rare.
Brand Loyals may have the holy grail of a collection, but most of it will vary wildly in quality and can easily turn into a hoard.
Jimbo is a hoarder. Random boxes of toys that have little to no meaning to them, but all the same they have to complete sets of whatever they start. Hell, this is where I see a lot of "nerdy" youtube commentators with walls completely covered in toy packaging and no feather duster in sight.

Depends on the size of the collection and how well they are taken care of. If you have a small shelf that is dusted and out of the way you will have a much better chance than a room full that looks like you go in there once or twice a month to either play or add to it.
 
I'm around the same age as Jim amd owned many of the toys he has when I was a kid. I had completely forgotten any of them existed till I saw that video, I can't believe he still remembers them let alone buying them it shows he hasn't grown up from childhood. He is probably buying them cause he remembers actually being happy when he was 8 while now he's a gross troon on antidepressants

He's now taken up wearing a collar, is he going to come out as a furry next since being a troon wasn't enough?

The collar is old news but I'll never stop being surprised by how little he looks like a woman, I work with a short, fat, balding old lady and even compared to her Jim looks nothing like a woman.
