Thanks! TIL I have a tankie in my extended family lol. Whenever we’ve talked about Russia/Ukraine or really anything, the response is ‘but what about the dems!’. Its weird to have someone who’s educated and seems quite rational in most ways actually believe that the pre-trump US was worse than Russia, where you really can’t be a journalist without falling out of a window. Another of their favourite arguments is ‘stop imposing your western values onto other cultures who don’t want them’ SMH. Still, I’d choose a tankie over a MAGA.

No stupid questions, right? What do they do?

Better yet, make an app

Make a better one

I’m in england btw so YMMV. So far I bought

• a nearly new phone from back market - that’s good for lots of tech.
• CPC Farnell for an electric blanket, they sell new DIY stuff, electronics and so on. You don’t need a business to buy from there.
• Another good place for second hand is Vinted, its not just for clothes, I bought 2 watches from there, books, jewellery and other random stuff, you can find a lot of random stuff for cheap so I look there first if I need something (look for the bulk discounts, if sellers offer that, or you can offer less).
• Odylique for skincare, toiletries, makeup etc
• I’ve bought new clothes etc from snagtights, nobody’s child and seasalt.
• If you’re in the UK there’s a resource to help called ethicalconsumer.org. I’ve changed practically everything I spend money on using that site and probably saved money too.
• Now I’m looking for the best source of laundry and cleaning stuff, not sure if it’s worth bulk buying and refilling containers and so on. I’m also thinking about a weekly organic veg box.

Thanks, it’s like I get a warm and fuzzy boost as a freebie with every purchase. It’s definitely worth the extra messing around finding a good place to buy something, I still buy most stuff online.

I’ve got to make copies of receipts and so on, then I’ll be deleting amazon entirely, hopefully within this boycott period. I haven’t bought anything for a while and already deleted my kindle collection (Anna was so kind as to help me replace my purchases).

It wasn’t as hard as I’d thought. Convenience isn’t the be all and end all. I actually feel good making ethical purchases and it gives a sense of power and autonomy which is very satisfying.

Lol a whippet is a dog breed in England. I was so confused.

I don’t have a voice but that sounds scary. Are all Christians taught that? I’ve never heard of that.

Agree 100% with everything you said. Trump could easily blame immigrants, woke, or invent a fake enemy to blame for the economic destruction etc he caused and MAGA would believe it.

Some kind of dice, gambling or game piece. Maybe there were other parts made from wood or pottery which fit Into the holes, maybe interchangeable. That would explain the stuck out parts, the dice could roll without marking the surface of the attached parts.

Men are scared that women will laugh at them , women are scared that men will kill them.

I was sure this was the ADHD section

Now I have part of a sample from a cocorosie song, ‘I got a… Ready to drop’ but I’m pretty sure I only started that today. Before it was a different song but I’ve forgotten

Lol, or get a polar fitness watch instead?

I personally think we have to find a way to eliminate psychopaths, sociopaths, narcassists and other cluster B’s from any kind of role of power. Not just government but also business.

That’s interesting, I’d never heard of that before. I know that people who are aphantasic often still dream with vivid mental images, so, it like they aren’t able to access them consciously and maybe the triggers help you in a similar way.

Instagram isn’t for sex is it?
