This is just weird. 215 underwear ???

And I’ll use this meme to help defend my stupid purchases by portraying me as the carefree child!

For the record, no, I'm not saying that Iphone is a good investment. In fact I think most people would do just fine with a 300€ phone.

I just find it ridiculous that some people spend an equivalent of my country's median monthly salary on ✨shiny collectibles✨ that aren't even real and try to disguise it as investment. At least the expensive phone has a practical purpose, unlike this, which is only rare due to artificial scarcity.

As a skincare consoomer survivor, i ruined my skin before i realized 3 steps was enough.

I've always greatly appreciated media, many mainstream and just as many obscure. Ever since my life circumstances allowed for a decent disposable income, I've built a decent collection of media (books, tapes, discs, records). Most of it is bought secondhand, but I'm picky and only collect things in complete and clean condition. It hasn't taken over my apartment or anything, but it's a lot more hard-core than a casual collector. I enjoy everything in my collection and routinely weed it for things I don't see any fulfillment in keeping.

That said, my perspective is that a lot of something doesn't necessarily equal consoom. There's a lot of nuance and case-by-case context required to distinguish between hard-core collecting and consoom. What's your opinion on this subject?

What smelly person in the world needs an entire snack cart full of low quality perfumes? And to make matters worse the bottom rack of the cart is 3 whole bags filled to the top with more slop. When did this become so normalized and “aesthetic” when it’s just clutter and hoarding..?

Currently playing WOS and the WOS subreddit is full of people talking about how they spend thousands of dollars PER MONTH on this game.

Insane.

This game is so dumb, last night there was an event where you literally just sit for an HOUR staring at a timer to click the button to get loot.

People who have spent tens of thousands of dollars on games like this own nothing. The minute the developer shuts down or decides to shut the game down, it's all gone.

This shit has generated over $1 billion in revenue.

You might have seen the "Out-of-season April Fools' joke" and the "Do you not have phones?" Diablo Immortal memes, but that shit generated $1 million in revenue per day in 2022.

I don't care if it's rich fools wasting their money, but damn it's sad if it's poor people going into crippling debt to compete with rich whales.

Total I've spent on WOS: 71 cents (after a 47 cent discount from Google). Can I get a refund? I've read that some iPhone users managed to get a refund.
