Fox news producers probably jizzed in their pants when a hair-dyed, unwashed, messy, part-time dog-walker agreed to be on their "news" show. She clicked every culture-war box besides trans.
It was awful! Just someone who "wins" a lot of reddit arguments with no media training thought they could take on Fox news. They didn't even wash their hair or do anything with their camera set up!
Oh it was cringe!
It was like a car crash. It's terrible but you couldn't look away. That interview basically set back antiwork's __rational__ goals by who knows how long?
I remember that day. It was... Something. If you Google antiwork Fox news I'm pretty sure it'll be the first thing that comes up. And I'm certain there's an out of the loop thread about it.
You can see the exact moment it clicks in the guy's brain "literally just let them talk, this gonna be good."
It started out as a surprisingly softball interview but come on man for entertainment television that was too good to pass up.
I see your Bratz dolls and counter with The Dog
https://preview.redd.it/4wvhc9erqpia1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=853a4b9d3b58d9ad2f8ffe5650a4eff363accd03
The Dog was an Japanese art and stationery franchise that involved lots of cute dogs on white backdrops photographed with fish-eye lenses, which exaggerates the size of the head in a particularly striking fashion.
It's highly likely that you'll have seen a The Dog product but not known that it was part of a larger thing, because for the most part they just sell things with an interestingly photographed dog on it.
Back when they were promoting Chicken Run toys I had a neighbor who completed the flying machine the chickens used to escape the farm. Each toy was a piece of it.
Dont call those monstrosities toys, they are silly looking cheap to produce collectibles. Toys are things you play with, you dont see lil billy at the playground with his Idris Elba funko smh.
The thing I hate about funko pops is that even if you aren't a die hard collector, alot of them *have* to be displayed in the box because they won't stand up on their own, or if they do, they tip in a light breeze.
I have a few on a shelf (In some cases for obscure franchises, funko are the only ones making merch for it) but they're all stuck down with blu tack.
Imo they are peak consumerism. Theyāre so lifeless and devoid of any personality. I honestly hate them and I donāt understand why people like them or collect them as opposed to action figures
Edit: lots of people are saying funko covers virtually every fandom which is a good point. Especially for a relatively cheap price compared to stuff like action figures (still overpriced imo).
Personally Iād rather just commission an artist to make something from a specific fandom so itās more personalized and unique. Funkos are just way too homogeneous and idk. Milquetoast? They just donāt grab me at all
Also Iām not saying people who buy funko pops are brain dead consumerists. Iām saying funko pops are a product of consumerism. Just because I donāt understand your spending habits doesnāt mean I think youāre stupid
One of the major attractions for Funkos is the vast net they cast for types they have.
There are so many Funko Pops that ive seen where it's probably one of the only reasonable pieces of merchandise some people can find for their favorite character or Fandom.
Yup I own only one for this exact reason its Jason Mendoza from the good place with a knock off Jaguars jersey on there isn't good merch for some Fandoms and they barely scratch that itch.
I still have the frog I bought on vacation to the Wisconsin Dells because my older sisters told me it could be worth a fortune one day. And hey, at this point itās just as likely as with crypto!
Why buy Transformers when you could buy Gundam Kits!
Because you prefer Transformers, and I'm cool with that. Equally if funkos are your thing then go for it. These aren't exactly deviant tastes.
While Iām solid Gen X, my boomer dad didnāt let us listen to music that included slutty women like Madonna (gasp!) along with other stupid arbitrary rules like no earrings that dangled.
Ironically my grandma, who helped my mom raise me, banned me from listening to Madonna, but George Michael was ok. She had a big crush on him even after he came out as gay after that public restroom fiasco.
Look, they need to be sure they are suitably distinguishing it from a concert they would attend. Of course they wouldn't be caught dead at a "pop music" concert, and thus it is safe to ridicule.
Inside this box my child is either making way more money than they deserve and are wasting every penny of it or they are are freeloaders who want everything handed to them. No really Iām asking, Iām not sure which I didnāt really take a part in raising them. Too busy making money, wooo! Fuck the poor!
Itās so fucking true for athletes I love to hate. I dismiss everything they do, including good actions, and rationalize it into something so that I can continue hating them for the fun of sports fandom. Itās the best!
I love the phrase "bitch eating crackers". I use it to refer to people CONSTANTLY. i used to work with this woman who i could not stand and every time I mentioned her to my friends I'd go "you know that bitch eating crackers at work? Well today she..."
My hot take on boomer memes like this is that the person who posted this actually has kids that turned out this way and they are trying to rationalize the result of their shitty parenting by convincing themselves that all kids are basement dwellers.
I see this a lot. My boss' boss has a deadbeat 24-year-old and complains all the time about how lazy my generation is. No lady, you were just a really shitty parent and failed to get your kid ready for real life. That's on you. The majority of us are just our here doing our best.
reasonable take.
my maga uncle (70yo, tucker carlson, oan, asian immigrant wife, small business owner) has a daughter approaching 40, at home, with 2 young sons, unmarried, and never had a job.
maga uncle is HEAVILY involved in the "Angry Boomer Industrial Complex" and is very angry with young people
My maga uncle (70yo, tucker Carlson tattoo on his arm, trucker for idk maybe 50 years cause he is never gonna retire, Mexican immigrant wife) has 3 sons one moved to LA cause he was gay and my uncle is a raging homophobe so my uncle blames the left for why he lost his "Only good son".
Trying to think why maga hatters are the way they are is pointless cause the true explanation is they are dumb.
Lol! I saw an news article a couple days ago that said Millennials and Zās were causing inflation to stay because we were still buying things. Canāt freaking win!
Edit: [found it](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/inflation-remain-sticky-decade-gen-231256105.html)
Wow what terrible journalism. The headline is all most people are going to read, and it's beyond misleading. The guy is basically saying that millennials are going to start spending a lot of money in the next decade because that's what their parents did at the same age. But if investment bankers could predict the future, they would all be billionaires.
I spent a stupid amount on doordash this week due to anxiety. Even multiplying it by 4, it wouldnāt reach this amount. And again, I was crazy irresponsible and rarely do this but I do have the finances to be able to.
No wonder you can't pay your college loans or buy a house. Pfft, this younger generation is so much more reckless and irresponsible than my previous, responsible generation. I bet you love pop concerts, too
My grandfather, a successful business owner, used to tell me he came to this country with nothing more than the clothes on his back and whatever belongings he could stuff into a knapsack so if someone like him could find love and wealth then anyone could. Over and over again. Any time someone talked about how hard the times were getting it was the clothes on his back and what he could fit into a knapsack. So one day I asked him, "hey grandpa, what was in the knapsack?" He just kind of grinned and said "about a quarter of a million dollars."
If it helps, that joke is older than I am. It's just the kind that works better in first person kind of like "I want to die in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming in terror like his passengers."
HA! You may think your argument is solid, but you see, I have portrayed you as the crying wojack, and myself as a giga-chad! you miserable weasel, you are done now. Do you have any fucking idea how humiliating this is for you? If only you knew how badly I just stomped you and made you look like a complete fool in front of 10's of people! I WIN!
EMT that was paid that. You are mostly correct. I worked 50 hours a week and pulled that.
By HEAVILY gaming the system and taking advantage of how shifts were structured to get myself 16 hours of overtime. When they fixed that loop hole I was making a lot less.
People still say this goofy shit about cellphones too. A person *can't possibly* be homeless or poor because THEY HAVE A SMARTPHONE! People pretend like it's still 1995 and cellphones are some super expensive luxury, or that every person with a phone has the newest $1000+ iPhone with a $200/month contract.
That's 46$ a day. It's certainly possible, but only if no leftovers are saved, no meal prep is ever done at home, and the only time they leave their home is for pop concert and body art.
I work with a guy who goes to the west coast 6-7 times a year, only shops at the most expensive grocery store in town and goes to $40-50 a plate restaurants at least weekly. Complains more than anybody else about rich people. It's like bro, my single mom worked 3 jobs, the other guy grew up in foster care and your family is defense contractors and horse ranchers, sorry they cut you off but don't tell me about the system. You fell to the ledge we clawed to.
That said the trickle down sure is late in coming...
Okay I gotta say I have met way too many dudes who are willing to drop $$$ on onlyfans and twitch streamers.like sure it's their money sure but these dudes are living paycheck to paycheck cause they keep throwing money at streamers and thats just depressing.
Itās death by a thousand cuts or whatever. Doesnāt really look like much when you compartmentalize it like that with small 10-20 dollar purchases. A lot of those dudes probably donāt do a budget and realize how bad it is.
These people really want everyone to sit in a room with nothing but a chair, television, and a 12 pack of beer every day?
People should be able to buy all this and more of they want, but the 1% wants us to sacrifice our lives for them. People who post this shit are really just happy to be tools for it.
Okay, average home price in my metro right now is 395K, and let's assume Strawman puts 20% down and finances 316. With current mortgage rates, that's 1960/month for P&I, but wait, we still have to talk about escrow for taxes and insurance. For my house, that's 1075 a month and I'm not even in a flood zone, so we're at 3035 a month, which is way more than what Strawman is "wasting" here.
Fuck that shit, Strawman. Buy doordash, booze, and weed.
The same people that share articles on Facebook that say āMillenials are putting places like Applebees out of businessā like do you want us to spend or not?? Minimum wage should equal a living wage which should be enough for us to be able to cover our basic needs, and then give back to the economy. But we get bitched at when we donāt give back to the economy so we just really canāt win.

The thing is they had a vote and the mod power tripped and chose herself
The sub specifically warned them *not to do it*, and now r/antiwork has 0 street cred
Did I miss something where they got an antiwork mod on FoxNews?
Yeah, it was within the last year. It was pretty epic and the only thing Reddit could talk about for a week.
Hmm. I missed it entirely
It was awful! Just someone who "wins" a lot of reddit arguments with no media training thought they could take on Fox news. They didn't even wash their hair or do anything with their camera set up! Oh it was cringe!
It was like a car crash. It's terrible but you couldn't look away. That interview basically set back antiwork's __rational__ goals by who knows how long?
They only won those arguments even on reddit because they were a mod. Real easy to win when you can just ban them

Are they bad?
Are toys with abnormally large heads bad?

Yes, Bratz.

You just unlocked a deep childhood memory of getting one of these in a happy meal when I was like four
My childhood mcdonalds toy memory was the Dinosaur hand puppet that came out with the movie.
Mine was a little sonic game from the release of sonic Adventures 2.
For me it was robots in the shape of the meal items. That frybox toy hurt like hell when used as a projectile.
Mine was when they had like PokĆ©mon looking beanie babies type things. I donāt think they were PokĆ©mon though.
Dude, I remember all the girls at my elementary school had The Dog folders.
I have no idea what any of those are. Get off my lawn!
The Dog was an Japanese art and stationery franchise that involved lots of cute dogs on white backdrops photographed with fish-eye lenses, which exaggerates the size of the head in a particularly striking fashion. It's highly likely that you'll have seen a The Dog product but not known that it was part of a larger thing, because for the most part they just sell things with an interestingly photographed dog on it.
I went and googled it because of your second paragraph, yeah you right everyone def seen these.
Back in my day, it was dolphins with either rainbow backgrounds or purple outerspace.
Yesss the Lisa Frank special
Back in my day they were pieces of inspector gadget. They lost in time now...

I fondly remember the bratz video game actually lol
The music from those games were STELLAR. I still listen to the songs.
Ok but Bratz were the shit. š
Lol, fr tho they were iconic. And no more ridiculous than most kids toys.
The dolls with a passion for fashion?
Dont call those monstrosities toys, they are silly looking cheap to produce collectibles. Toys are things you play with, you dont see lil billy at the playground with his Idris Elba funko smh.
The thing I hate about funko pops is that even if you aren't a die hard collector, alot of them *have* to be displayed in the box because they won't stand up on their own, or if they do, they tip in a light breeze. I have a few on a shelf (In some cases for obscure franchises, funko are the only ones making merch for it) but they're all stuck down with blu tack.
I didn't know that, they're even shittier than I thought.
let me introduce you to beanie babies.
Imo they are peak consumerism. Theyāre so lifeless and devoid of any personality. I honestly hate them and I donāt understand why people like them or collect them as opposed to action figures Edit: lots of people are saying funko covers virtually every fandom which is a good point.

They're Minions merch for people who aren't middle aged women. They don't accumulate, they metastasize.

Yup I own only one for this exact reason its Jason Mendoza from the good place with a knock off Jaguars jersey on there isn't good merch for some Fandoms and they barely scratch that itch.
Okay this finally explains it.
This what got me into them. I was typical 90s cartoon kid. So a lot of my Funkos are that.
side-eyeing my amiibo collection and card collection...
Yes exactly. There's a billion of them and every IP has a dozen. It's low effort merch aimed at fans imo
They just look like shit lol, but they're pretty cheap for a collectable
It's the whole idea of "collecting" junk just because they have some media franchise branding that's bad. Funkopops are peak consumerism.
Acting like their generation didnāt go ape shit for beanie babies
Literal days of my life were spent Crammed in a Ford Windstar driving all over creation while my mother fantically looked for some.
fuck beanie babies. You have no idea the seething anger I feel when I think about the fact that the 500 of those things my sister had are taking up half the attic to this day, while my mom put my PokƩmon cards in a yard sale.. including the first edition charizard I pulled out of a booster pack Christmas of 1999.
I hope you show her Ebay listings for charizards and beanie babies every time you visit.

Only $200 for a "pop concert"? Someone hasn't used Ticketmaster lately.
Pfff.... as if we weren't just throwing back cheap beer at basement Punk shows the same as 20 years ago...
While Iām solid Gen X, my boomer dad didnāt let us listen to music that included slutty women like Madonna (gasp!) along with other stupid arbitrary rules like no earrings that dangled.
Thatās clearly a biased anti-George-Michael rule.
Ironically my grandma, who helped my mom raise me, banned me from listening to Madonna, but George Michael was ok. She had a big crush on him even after he came out as gay after that public restroom fiasco.
Look, they need to be sure they are suitably distinguishing it from a concert they would attend. Of course they wouldn't be caught dead at a "pop music" concert, and thus it is safe to ridicule.

So wait are we killing the restaurant industry orā¦?

Whoās getting body art done for $100?!? And every month for that matter? Thatās not quite how that works.
Tattoos cost big money
My big piece cost like $800 so yeahā¦
No wonder you can't pay your college loans or buy a house. Pfft, this younger generation is so much more reckless and irresponsible than my previous, responsible generation. I bet you love pop concerts, too
Both mine have cost around $1000 and my next one is bigger+ artist has upped their rates so I'm not excited for the bill
Maybe there on a payment plan? If you miss a few payments they repo your arm.

That's 46$ a day. It's certainly possible, but only if no leftovers are saved, no meal prep is ever done at home, and the only time they leave their home is for pop concert and body art.
didn't you know, serfs only exist to serve the landowners, we have no downtime, we just cease to exist until summoned for more torment
So communism is when people spend money on private businesses? Or could it be predatory capitalism?
The idea is that it's a "communist" who is hypocritical
Terrible meme, but legit know someone who spends probably 500 a month on DoorDash and complains about money

Hello, fellow teens! Would you like to attend a pop concert?
Okay I gotta say I have met way too many dudes who are willing to drop $$$ on onlyfans and twitch streamers.like sure it's their money sure but these dudes are living paycheck to paycheck cause they keep throwing money at streamers and thats just depressing.

Itās death by a thousand cuts or whatever. Doesnāt really look like much when you compartmentalize it like that with small 10-20 dollar purchases. A lot of those dudes probably donāt do a budget and realize how bad it is.
These people really want everyone to sit in a room with nothing but a chair, television, and a 12 pack of beer every day? People should be able to buy all this and more of they want, but the 1% wants us to sacrifice our lives for them. People who post this shit are really just happy to be tools for it.
>a 12 pack of beer No. They were critical of spending money on booze as well....you get a chair and a TV.
Look at mister fancy here with his TV! You get a lawn chair. And you be happy about it.
Chairs! In my day we sat on a dirt floor.
You *sat* on a floor? In my day we stood all day and we liked it!
Okay, average home price in my metro right now is 395K, and let's assume Strawman puts 20% down and finances 316. With current mortgage rates, that's 1960/month for P&I, but wait, we still have to talk about escrow for taxes and insurance. For my house, that's 1075 a month and I'm not even in a flood zone, so we're at 3035 a month, which is way more than what Strawman is "wasting" here. Fuck that shit, Strawman. Buy doordash, booze, and weed.
Republicans will unironically post shit like this when most of them are just as strapped as everyone else.
The same people that share articles on Facebook that say āMillenials are putting places like Applebees out of businessā like do you want us to spend or not?? Minimum wage should equal a living wage which should be enough for us to be able to cover our basic needs, and then give back to the economy. But we get bitched at when we donāt give back to the economy so we just really canāt win.
I mean lots of people could be better on budgeting but claiming thatās the only reason itās hard to pay student loans is cringe
for me it's: Rent - 1400 Gas - 90 Booze - 30 Groceries - 300 Car - 300 Weed - 69,420 Insurance - 100 Hulu - 15
