    “Buying books would be a good thing if one could also buy the time to read them in:
    but as a rule the purchase of books is mistaken for the appropriation of their contents.”
    - Arthur Schopenhauer

    Any time I see a funko, always think about how that could have been spent on literally anything else and been a better decision.

    I put one in my tower so I can look over and see what a consumerist cunt I am /s

      Even if you really just want consumption slop, you can get cooler figures of each and every single character that has a funko pop, and it won’t look quite an much like it’s made out of 95% the same parts as every other thing you have, nor like a loaf of bread with dead eyes on top of a playmobil body. And it’ll cost less.

    I’ll meet in the middle, I collect comics! Suck on that!

    (Ok ok I have plenty “real” books too and I actually read the comics not just collect so it barely counts but that’s no fun.)
