those rgb led lights are super cheap. I don't blame manufacturers for putting some rainbow lights that costs a few cents on a ram stick and selling it for a 50-100% markup marketed as "gamer ram" if enough people still fall for it.

Serious talk though - is this a sign that consoomerism and capeshit-worship are really starting to spread to and influence places where people making actual decisions of consequence reside? That's frankly a horrifying thing for me to contemplate.

marketing agencies rely more on social media algorithms of wathever is trending so you end up with the equivalent of aliens going "how do you do fellow humans?"

Its not just NATO btw.

I've been getting these sorts of videos in my YT recommended a LOT lately. They're best described by their titles: "Here's what I ate in a day at __________" or "How much I spent at _________." In the videos I've come across, the vast majority of their money (not counting tickets to get into Disney or wherever) is spent on food.

Everything I ate at McDonald’s in Haifa! foodie shorts mcdonalds fastfood burger friedchicken.mp4
Now, these ladies might be getting sponsorships to go to these places. But, even if they aren't paying outta their own pockets, this is heavily encouraging consumerism. The Kirby Café is kinda cute, but I still wouldn't go out of my way to buy food just for the sake of buying food.

Please stop wasting your money on GMO-ridden sugary garbage.

Holy cow there are a lot of these. You'd think they would have slowed down with all the tech layoffs and the recession!

if it's at the mcdonald's or those little cafes probably not, disney is hard to tell. There are a lot of wanna-be disney influencers, and by that I mean they aren't officially recognized by Disney. If they are, they have to be on call almost 24/7, weekends and holidays included, to go to things like media only cupcake parties. At these parties everything is meticulously guarded by Disney, and they will even have you delete photos taken of the new treats they don't deem up to their standards, among other things. If you want to stick with them and get the perks of free access to things, you need to be as gushy as possible, with absolutely no negatives. It's hard to tell who the official ones are because the wanna-bes do their best to mimic it at a chance for the golden ticket.

TL;DR: most of these are paid out of pocket except for possibly any Disney ones.

Remember when propaganda used to rely on appealing to your patriotism, faith, family, and morals?
I think that this is just more evidence how those in power want to destroy those above as they think patriotism is too dangerous and they want to do away with strong families, faith, and moral code to have a more controlled population. Unfortunately all that's left to appeal to the masses is pop culture... or maybe the diversity hire simply has terminal consoomer brain rot.

How do relationships like these even function?

I can answer this with first and second hand experience. See that girl is what is commonly referred to as a "small town seven" or a "Wisconsin seven". That is to say that she's actually not very good looking but in a small town, or in the state of Wisconsin, she's actually pretty good looking due to the generally smaller dating pool and/or the lower standards of beauty which exist in such places. Women like this will eventually realize that they are not very attractive and will attempt to find a meek, polite, lonely, most likely nerdy/geeky, man who knows that she is out of his league.

The guy is simply too polite and meek to stand up for himself effectively and she knows that she has to be just nice enough and supportive enough towards him to keep him from manning up and dumping her, you see it a lot in "nerdy/geeky" social circles where romantic companionship can be hard to come by.

A less cynical take: The ability to look after your home and to perform repairs is a vital life skill (and also a fun one to master) and they are providing free or cheap education to help children learn this at an early age, and in a way, becoming an anti-consoomer.

Allowing children to learn about the ability to fix things early helps shape their responses to problems later in life. What is better:
  1. The cable on my vacuum cleaner is broken, I need to buy a new one, I'm heading to Amazon to find the latest model with wifi and probably a companion app for some fucking reason that costs $400
  2. The cable on my vacuum cleaner is broken, I'm heading to Lowes to buy a new cable and plug so I can get another few more years out of it

A late reply, but this is becoming more and more difficult with every year as companies do everything humanly possible to kill off self repair. It's at the point where theyll just flat out refuse to provide parts and insist that you buy a new one due to all the components being proprietary crap. Companies want nothing more than for everyone to essentially be forced to become consoomers who don't know how anything works and just buy a new one once it breaks after a year.

The Vancouver one must be retarded. Good seafood in that city is CHEAP thanks to all the chinese/japanese immigrants and being on the ocean. Though I assume people from the other big cities shown have the same complaints.

This is part of my due diligence when I'm looking to buy something, and more people should consider it. I've definitely paid more for something that is more maintainable in the long run.

Of course, even when people buy brand name goods such as Dyson for example, where parts are reasonably easy to come by, they still need to actually do this. I've certainly had a few conversations with people where I've heard they bought something new because it broke, even though spare parts or a warranty is available. Even when solutions are available, you have to actually use them.

And within 3 seconds of the first video, you can see they spent over 27 dollars at McDonald’s. They gloat about it (swag). That alone tells you about the lack of personal responsibility these people have

most of it is just food in all these videos.

I wake up, eat my breakfast then i eat some more, then i go eat, then i stop for eating, then snacks , then i drink while i eat, and eat some more. booze and food, booze and food, repeat. Consuming can't be more literal.

Ahem, the cunt claiming to spend over 1k on her "assistant" is obviously fake. Like the Asian influencers pretending to be rich, but that much for someone you pay to work for you, That's too bizarre, and actual rich people would never do that.
