Some people just like Disney world. It's not some in depth cultural phenomenon. Disney is an escape. Some people like it.

Others play video games, jerk off to anime feet, or argue about which Linux distribution is best for jerking off to anime feet on a chrome fork.

Damn, using a Chrome fork is some filthy shit.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's why it's best for jerking off to filthy fetish porn.

Pfff chrome fork 🙄

I for one use WolfCum a fork of LibreWolf (which is Firefox without AI bullshit), that's optimized for jerking it to anime feet

Some people have multiple personalities, debilitating gambling compulsions or think that the third Godfather movie was the best in the series. We draw different lines for what is crazy all the time.

Going deep in debt to, willfully, be in an exploitative relationship with a predatory mega corporation that regurgitates your childhood memories over and over, strikes me as clinically bat shit.

Disney adults don’t even have to leave the house to fully commune with their favorite corporation in the flesh because they can live full-time in a branded city. For a million dollars or two, you can buy a sprawling house at Cotino, a 618-acre gated community in Rancho Mirage, California — the first in Disney’s Storyliving venture, which is developing master-planned suburban developments throughout the United States.

But yeah, different strokes, I guess.

lots of people are also just mentally ill to a greater or less degree and most companies are happy to exploit your illness to take your money.

I especially like the 'yoga retreat' camp things that cost like 10-20K to basally sit around in silence for 2-3 days in some semi-rural estate to become spiritually awoken. super popular with the workaholic stress addict crowds, you know, the type who have no spirituality or belief in anything other than personal greed, who think spirituality and personal growth can are only for those who can afford a 5-6 figure paywall to achieve it.
