They're like $10 I don't think that can ever be called conspicuous consumption.

You're assuming that people are just buying one or two, and that's probably true for most normal people. The kind of person who posts on a Funco Pop subreddit has definitely spent a large amount of money on them.

I could've used a better term. Basically what I mean is that nerds love to buy useless, tacky toys with their disposable incomes, and Pops are a very good example of it. It's what's kept places like ThinkGeek alive all these years.

oldpainless posted:It's what incorrect people call a soda Yo, this confused the gently caress out of 8 year old me. Grew up with soda being called soda, then on a field trip this kid says he has grape pop with him. I'm intrigued as gently caress. Grape pop? Some sort of new amazing beverage I've never tried? And then it turns out pop = soda. I was so disappointed.

The Brendan Fraser thing keeps going. http://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/actors/brendan-fraser-net-worth/ In the same breath that he complains that he has no money. He also explains that he spends $5200 a month on gardeners  I'd like like to peer in closer on this $113.000 a month of "professional expenses"

So popular free-to-play game Warframe added some new content, including a "cyst" that you can get through a certain plot mission, or from interacting with other players who have a cyst. It's a tiny pink blob on the character's neck that you can't even see 99% of the time. It can be removed after it's fully grown, which takes seven days real time to do. Apparently it's the worst thing to ever happen to videogames.   For those not familiar with the game, Prime frames are one of the items in the game that require a lot of time and effort to acquire, or you can purchase one from another player for a fair amount of the in-game currency (which essentially means you can pay another player 2-15 real dollars to do the work for you).  Dude sounds like he's being physically assaulted by a tiny bit of content in a videogame.  The developers of a free-to-play game are literally my servant and must do my every whim! I won't have fun unless the game cowers to me!  Video games must fill out and have me sign a new contract every time they decide to patch it. My lawyers must be present during this. TL:DR tiny babby is mad about videogames.

Is Brendan Fraser behind this alimony thing or is it just something that angry dudes have latched onto? I want to believe he's separate from this whole thing because he seems like an okay guy.

I want to believe he's separate from this whole thing because he seems like an okay guy. he's obviously the one contesting it but I don't think he's making it some big 'men's rights' issue, he's just being a kinda typical hollywood bubble guy where he seems to genuinely be trying to use 'no no but I'll ONLY be making a couple million after payments guys, this is not a life you can expect me to live' as a complaint. I think it's all his 'fans' who are making it some big "THAT BITCH" thing.

The guy's got $25 million in assets. I have a feeling he needs to downsize his lifestyle a bit.

Not sure yet, but it's tied into some big plot points that they've been working on over the last couple years. Right now, the cyst can be drained into the pet-maker device to make a horrible monster that fights alongside you but I'm sure there will be more to come.

I don't get it, the frames already look like they're basically mutated humans. It's just a cyst, it's not all that nasty compared to how they already look.

Gamers are giant goddamn idiot babymen, that's about all there is to it. I say this as someone who plays a good deal of video games, I've never seen another hobby with such a huge proportion of insufferable children.

Racist angry that Tom Hanks's granddaughter is mixed-race. There are many reasons why Chet Hanks is a loser but this will never be one of them. And I'm sure the article writer and commenter are physically shining examples of their race. The little girl is adorable, the Hanks family probably embrace her and her mother with loving arms, and I'm glad it pisses these pieces of garbage off.
