That whole sub works on cycles - news breaks, there’s an immediate negative reaction towards trump and a couple of days later the sub finds some way to spin the whole thing.
It’s fun watching them get told how to think in real time, though I’m not sure if it’s done big conspiracy with some russian telling them how to think or just a collective coping mechanism.
And as a Poly person myself, let me just say that that’s perfectly okay and you should be proud of yourself for accepting who you are.
Why does it make you angry?
I saw it at the weekend. I dunno, it wasn’t for me, it wasn’t bad or anything, it had all the usual beats but I came away from it thinking “that was okay, I’m glad I watched it, but it didn’t feel like a classic to me”. It also felt a bit long.
I agree, it was more commenting on how it has become a bit of a catchall term. Feminist or not, they’re all a bunch of wankers either way.
It’s probably worth saying that these days “Terf” tends to get used for anyone that’s anti-trans, regardless if they are identifying as feminist or not.
They’re still used goods. It’s very unlikely that the still better-quality goods aren’t free of blemishes or marks. It still involves dealing with someone that isn’t going to give you any kind of warranty in case of an issue, or that might only take cash, etc. There’s also a huge assumption on availability of those used goods, which you cannot guarantee.
Sure, there’s nothing wrong with all that necessarily but it shows that it’s not an apples-to-apples comparison. OP’s statement isn’t fair by saying that Ikea is just as expensive as good quality wood furniture.
I don’t think it’s fair to compare brand new unassembled Ikea furniture to used furniture found on a marketplace. Compare the price of used Ikea furniture with new Ikea furniture, or new Ikea furniture with new non-ikea furniture.
Used goods being cheaper isn’t a surprise.
Egalitarian Polyamory working pretty well for me 😊
I’d be dead.
It’s actually pronounced “norn iron”.
