None of them are actually selling to collectors, just from auction house to auction house, to generate a history of price increases.

Ok the statue is expensive but 30k for giving birth is also fucking insane.

Isn't the lid going to fall off and the ice cream start to drip out the end?

Kids are another over-expensive shit that's definitely not worth the asking price nowadays, but whatever.

Imagine consooming so hard you gotta have that shit for undergarments.

Watching the lashes being applied to her eyelids made my skin crawl, they remind me of insect legs or a whole hairy caterpillar on her eye when she blinks. Looks ugly as fuck and she should have spent her money fixing her awful skin. All that cash can't buy you class.

This is why the “clean beauty” freaks, annoying as they are bragging about dropping cash on Glossier and brands like Westman Atelier, get points from me for pissing off the high-maintenance, fake lashes, fake hair, fake nails crowd. There’s an incredible amount of elitism, and probably racism, in the “My skin is perfect, I just need a tiny bit of ethically-produced, sustainably-packaged lip gloss and eye cream” approach, and it pisses off the beauty comsoomers no end.

And speaking of beauty consoomers, this is not a recent link, but I have seen little indication that things are pulling back from glorifying this level of makeup hoarding. I mean, all the drama killing off the Beautuber trend is probably helping, but companies just started pumping out insane amounts of products during the pandemic. The number of subscription beauty boxes exploded. Sephora is now in Kohl’s and Ulta is in Target. Say what you will about the YA book and Lego hoarders, at least they’re not buying stuff that might go bad 6 months after they first open it.

You seen this yet?
Apparently a bunch of Targets across the US are getting remodeled at the same time. So it's not just shit-from-Ulta. It's that they're redoing the beauty sections entirely.

You don't actually pay that much, that's the starting price for insurance companies. If you dont have insurance you'll only pay a fraction of that. Also with insurance there's a maximum to how much you'll have to pay out of pocket. It's definitely bad still but it's not as bad as it looks.

I'm not really keen about clean beauty, as synthetic ingredients in skincare are mostly safer in skincare. As natural ingredients have thousand of compounds, meanwhile in the synthetics you can pick and choose what compound you need.
As an example. Citrus oils are phototoxic (they make your skin burn easily in the sun), but in the synthetic citrus oils. They take out the components that are phototoxic.

As a regular in the skincare-thread here, I'm certainly very elitist about skincare and make-up. Make-up looks fake af and is trashy no matter what, it even looks bad on people with flawless skin.
Sunscreen with some whitecast should be the only thing you need. Maybe some mascara, since Dr, Dray use it.

So my take is, both sides are retarded.

And its wild that applying foundation with your fingers is considered a hack now. Beauty blenders hasn't been here that long, but people seem to have forgotten what they did before beauty blenders came on the market. Brushes were still a thing, but it seems like barehanded applying got forgotten when it got released.

Pretty old and (possibly) late, but seeing Chris Chan’s incredible video game collection makes me glad emulation is still a thing. Wasting $30,000 on Sonic related and girl games only for them to be destroyed in a fire and still rebuying the same games is truly a life lesson on why video game consumerism can be abused when you have no impulse control.

Responsibility is still a thing that exists.

There's something to Chris Chan's behavior predicting the direction of culture, and it's horrifying every time one thinks about it.

I don't want to shit on this because it's a small shop, but I disagree with it as a matter of principle.

If it's just a raw print and not coated or painted, this means it is basically impossible to clean. Stupid product and stupider company for selling it like it's food grade.

You could use actual chopsticks I guess. Or just not eat and game at the same time.
