Shit beers are great buzz sustainers after Ive already spent too much on booze.

That's what cigarettes are for me. I don't smoke, so even one will light me up after I've been drinking all night.

Ingesting asymmetrical water crystals

If you don't sing softly into charcoal filtered water sourced from a nearby mountain spring before drinking it, you're basically begging to die before 30 tbh

Unless it's heavily flavored like Shock Top, I agree. I can't taste most of the difference other than "that's strong/weak" in them.

Though Corona is shit. Tastes like nothing else. blech.

I have to pretend like I buy every single issue I read in the Comics thread but the reality is, I download single issues and only buy omnibuses or thick (10+ issues) trade paperbacks/hardcovers if I deem that run good enough.

Ad-filled floppies stack up with no place to go and at $4 for some issues, the publishers can keep them. Apparently Marvel is about to move to $5 issues though

He's not wrong in that many people just buy things just to buy things so they can be a part of events as they purchase thing after thing after thing. I think it's kind of the one of the big things of capitalism. It's pretty much suggested you live this life style.

These days, I'll come across a game or blu ray or something and be like OOOOOH I WANT THAT, and then I'll stop myself, and question why i exactly need it. I don't think there's anything wrong with his base premise at all, and more people need to be more aware of the commercialism traps they fall into.

There's nothing wrong with it, but there comes to a point where it feels like purchasing products is what life boils down to for many, especially when it comes to nerds. I don't think it's :experty -worthy at all to point out that people's obsessions with buying shit isn't always necessarily healthy nor constructive. Ultimately, they're just pieces of plastic, and attachment isn't good. Questioning why one needs one more plastic thing is a sign of basic awareness of the limitations of consumerism if you ask me.

I don't know if I really see that as nerd culture so much as just our capitalistic society at work and entrenched in figuring out everyone's niche and making shit for nerds, jocks, geeks, goths, metal heads, bikers, etc to wear and buy.
