everybody on ilx complains about reddit

at the very least, it's a chain of purchases and production that encompasses more real world capital that bitcoin

that's crazy. bitcoin has loads of real world capital it's just all black market.

A few years ago I bought one because they had released a Big Trouble in Little China set. It was me and my wife's favorite movie and I wanted to pick her up the Gracie Law one. So I walked up to my local comic shop and asked "so where are the Big Trouble in Little China bobbleheads?" And the guy said, nicely but still as a corrective, "they're not bobbleheads, they're Funko POP!" And right then and there I decided I was just gonna get that one.

I'm goin' to Louisiana
And get me a funko pop!
I'm goin' to Louisiana
And get me a funko pop!
I'm gonna fix my woman so
I can have more funko pop!s

Now, can't a woman act funny
Ha-ha-ha, when she got a funko man?
Can't a woman act funny
When she got a funko man?
You know, she won't look straight at you
Then she's always raisin' sand, sand

Well, I'm going tomorrow
But I won't be gone long
I'm going tomorrow
But I won't be gone very long
I'm gonna get me a funko pop!, I'm gonna bring it back home
That's what I'm gonna do

a special emphasis on large-breasted anime statues

at that level of obsession, maybe just get a job with the company? like doing marketing or whatever is cool, you don't have to have any skills.

aw, he's a guidance counsellor, that's so... i don't know what that is

I don't even understand why people buy them if the heads don't wobble around.

he does customs, which means he's basically eight friends i went to college with and lost touch with and i am having feelings now.

wow at his nicktoon tattoos
okay, i gotta stop looking at this now

i just can't imagine wanting to have that ugly plastic tat in your home

but i have records so i cannot really judge

but the contract

(but then there are photos of the two of them posing with wrestlers on their wall so I guess at least they share the hobby?)

Never going to be in a position to judge anyone for collecting weird shit, but I just find them visually so appealing? Also the first pic just gave me a mental image of waking up suddenly in the night and seeing all those dead black eyes staring at you. No wonder they have an agreement, where the hell does her stuff go?!

*unappealing

*unappealing

I collect the Star Wars Funkos. ;_;

I unbox them, though, so take that, weirdos!

i support gyac’s brave admission of deep, abiding love for funko pops

i have a carson wentz funko on my desk

they're propping up a complete nerd fandom area at Target stores

i think the funko figures of my youth were all super detailed mcfarlane toys; dunno if that's more or less defensible.

I feel like those scratch a slightly different itch unless you're so far down the rabbit hole you just collect everything from a particular vendor

I've got to give mcfarlane credit, their toy quality was a heck of a lot better out of the gate than their comic quality

that is one of the lowest bars imaginable to clear tho tbf

Can't argue with the title:

I love collecting shit, I just despise anything made specifically to collect.

LOL

https://www.thedailybeast.com/reddit-admits-to-removing-a-few-hundred-russian-propaganda-accounts

this is a good read

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/03/19/reddit-and-the-struggle-to-detoxify-the-internet

that is a good read. makes a strong argument, actually, that reddit is better than facebook!

Each desk is decorated aggressively with personal flair—a “Make Reddit Great Again” hat, a glossy print magazine called Meme Insider.

god that's depressing

In retrospect, this seems like a straightforward business decision, but some redditors treated it as the first in an inevitable parade of horrors. “This rule is stupid and suppresses our rights,” u/penisfuckermcgee commented.

that whole article is filled with money quotes

yea that's a good article

reminds me of an argument I had where someone was praising Trump admin's "red team blue team" idea to stage a "public debate" on climate change, where I said the entire idea was idiotic because you're giving equal time to people who make up facts and argue in bad faith and we might as well give equal airtime to the flat earthers as well. but that's this modern world for ya!!!

“What is ReallyWackyTicTacs?” another employee asked, looking down the list.

“Trust me, you don’t want to know,” Ashooh said. “That was the most unpleasant shit I’ve ever seen, and I’ve spent a lot of time looking into Syrian war crimes.”

lmao those are just Minions memes but with Nazi propaganda instead of Garfield-level observations

kind of straddles that line the article hints at

meme insider seems like a pretty unimaginative magazine. "Talking." "Talking." "Chatting."

This is brilliant (especially the idea that he's spending his time collecting photos of "really attractive guys with mostly their shirts off" and apparently thinks he's still 100% heterosexual) but what is this 'braincels'? Obviously some offshoot of the incels, but something to do with CoD Black Ops? I could find this out for myself but really don't want to.

Welcome to r/Braincels! If you want a fun, energizing, and thought-provoking atmosphere for incel culture, you've come to the right place.

hell yea

fun, energizing, and thought-provoking atmosphere for incel culture

nope, these words do not go together

this is the same poster, pretty sure that he's trolling

https://www.reddit.com/r/Braincels/comments/86pk0w/i_only_masturbate_to_men_now/

/r/braincels is just /r/incels redux, and the Black Ops 2 thing is a reference to this picture of a guy wearing a Black Ops 2 t-shirt. He's become a sort of incel world mascot, I guess because they think he, whoever he is, looks like the prototypical incel. They sometimes treat him as a mythic figure and refer to him as St. BlackOps2cel.

everything on reddit is real imo

So there's a new "redesign" today or am I just only seeing it for the first time for some reason? I don't get it, it's like they just switched to a slightly different version of shitty circa-2003 web design.

i respect that

It's like they made a car everyone thought was really ugly and they were like "we hear you, and we're going back to the drawing board" and then they just come out with the same car but it has different wheel covers and headlamps

most car manufacturers do that every couple years between major redesigns, seems like a solid plan
