But stationery consooming is absolutely a thing, just like art&craft supply consooming

Stationery consooming has been around for a lot of years. It only really entered mainstream adult attention when Japanese stationery began to infiltrate the market via anime and manga merchandise, however, it was around long before that. Exquisite dipping pen and ink sets were manufactured hundreds of years ago, and horrendously expensive fountain pens have been around for as long as there's been fountain pens. Twenty five years ago an American friend sent me a ridiculously overpriced Moleskine notebook, raving about how popular and amazing they were and that all her friends used the brand... it was just a standard black fucking notebook with a train map in the front, and not even particularly sturdy. Kids have been comparing and swapping stationery forever, and Smiggle is making a fuckton of money off of that.

Honestly, the only thing that will ever kill stationery consooming is a complete shift to digital media across the entirety of the world.

I don't know if the dipping pens count as consooming per se. Of course, a cheaper pen would do and it is bought to set the buyer apart from the unwashed masses, but in the end, it was still used and not replaced with the next bestest pen. With fountain pens I can see it, since they often got replaced while still usable (and there are so many new and barely used fountain pens on the collectors market that there must have been at least some level of consooming).

I do agree about the Moleskine as I have first hand experience. I heard several people around me rave and rant about them and how awesome they are and when they were on discount, I bought one. It is...fine. It is a notebook, it does what it's supposed to do but so does my usual dollar store book. Even the "oh so smooth and sturdy paper" was nothing special.

It looks like Moleskine fell out of favour over the last decade though. Haven't seen one in ages. It got replaced by Leuchtturm. Same shit, just more colors.

"It's not the Tint, it's the Glint."

Interestingly enough, I get no weird looks from people when I wear sunglasses indoors, but if I wear my yellow lenses, people get concerned.

Speaking of consooming, after evaluating--a few pieces of food I like to eat, maybe some downloads of music, and I do have vinyl records, I do own consoles and I replay physical media on them (original XBox, 360, One, and the Wii) -- other than common necessaries there's nothing else. But I keep waiting for a Dick Tracy style two-way watch instead of a faggot smartphone I've got to carry in my pocket.

I wonder how long before the apple anti-porn goggles will be around before they quietly shove it off to the side. What you get for the price point, when there are multitudes of already established options that aren't over 1lb (530ish g) on your face (plus a hidden battery pack you get you carry in your pocket.) there isn't a single problem this solves other than you have too much money that needs to be tossed out. I don't imagine developers are scrambling to make software specifically for it either until it's proven to be sellable to more than just Apple Bros.

Everyone joked when Apple revealed the iphone as well.

And you can get them at any gas station or Walmart on the planet. Don't need to go to a special apple store or order these fucking moon goggles that only have a 2 hour battery life, just to stare at titties without getting caught.

realistically, the kinda guys who buy these wank goggles are probably already the kinda guys who get away with looking at a girl's tits in public, if you get what i'm saying

how ironic that the people most likely to buy it, are the ones who don't need it

But the NEETS think they need it. The power of marketing and brand loyalty is real.

No, pretty sure you can't. There's an eye overlay that appears when you're not using the immersive HUD and shows people where you're looking. Idk I get that it's consoooming because of all the apple fanboys but as a piece of tech it's very interesting and sets the standard for controller-less finger tracking which is nice.

even better
eyes are sometimes easy to miss, with these big fuckoff glowing LED lights every woman is gonna know i'm staring squarely at her boobers
and they know that i know that they know that i want them to know
 
Women who get upset at men staring at their tits should do a better job hiding them. Healthy women are flattered to be attractive enough to warrant second looks.

Apple also shit out Siri and every faggot with a "tech" blog was proclaiming it to be a revolution in personal computing. It was like the heavens themselves parted and deposited a holy artifact upon us mere mortals.

To this day I have not seen a single person IRL use it, and it's been almost a decade and a half - because it turns out it's fucking gay, just like these faggot goggles. And you didn't even have to pay $3500 for that.

I use Siri when I’m cooking for timers or changing music and I don’t want to cover my phone in raw meat, flour, etc. Thats all it’s really all it’s good for.
