your post about finnish thrift stores made me think about "antique" warehouse malls here in the southern us. they're also just stalls where a person sells whatever and sets whatever fucking price they want and you pay at a central spot. and one of my local ones has a stall where the "antiques" on sale are just scores of funko pops. like. just so many funko pops. and iirc they're like. almost full price still

LOL there’s one in NC i like to go to and some of the stalls are awesome i LOVE buying beanie babies from there for like $3 each but some others are truly like. Resin pyramids

something the american thrifters complaining about goodwill going to shit with the insane pricing (true) probably don’t even know about (for good reason) is that finnish thrift stores function as basically unmanned flea markets where each booth is ran by a different private individual and paying for items is done at a centralized checkout desk but the store itself doesn’t set any of the prices so you have crazy variations in pricing between stores and even within one store because the sellers are all just Some Guy setting their own prices. and let me just fucking tell you If you thought your goodwill was taking the piss with their ideas of premium brands wait until you walk into a finnish thrift store where some delusional boomer thinks their beat up vans shoes are worth 45€

[loumandliker]

they are GENUINELY selling empty bottles for like 2€ each or dusty gold plated candle holders for 30€ each like these people are some of the stupidest & greediest people alive

[loumandliker]

hilariously finnish ppl are also extremely non confrontational and prone to silent seething so publicly shaming these stupid prices by laughing out loud and turning to your friend to be like look at the prices on this garbage lmfao while the seller is like around the corner waiting to restock their shelf full of bullshit is EXTREMELY SATISFYING

also like. i feel like what people don’t really get is that i Am kinda anti religion but im not going to go up to someone and start an argument with them about it unless they themselves start trying to enforce their beliefs on other people. i think any religious belief that the genders should be separated and segregated is worthless misogynistic garbage that shouldn’t be encouraged or justified as secretly woke and pro feminist but i will & have many times stood up for & supported irl women laying out those boundaries at my job with the men who’ve tried to eg hug them - because i don’t think circumventing an individual’s physical boundaries is right regardless of their reasonings or whether i like where the reasoning comes or not.

genuine question: how do you reconcile the anti-theism with, you know, the issue of addressing religions that are not the dominant one in your culture/country? because obviously this puts practitioners of those religions in a marginalized position, and also a cultural outsider is likely to lack sufficient insight into the nuances of religion they're not familiar with, but i've never been comfortable with defaulting to 'no criticism allowed then'... i suppose the answer is just to read up on critiques from Within the culture & amplify the ones that resonate rather than speaking over them, but i want to hear your thoughts. sorry if this is a sensitive question

genuinely “seek out and listen to the experiences/criticisms of ppl from those cultures” is exactly what i think is the way to go. i don’t do much overt focused criticism of religions that are minority religions where i live because there are so many people who are already doing it from within and also bc obv it’s also a popular anti immigration and pro war framing. it is however really funny how if you go on like twitter dot edu dot com and read some ex muslim/ex jewish/etc peoples tweets that the responses from current religious observers are just as deranged as they are when it’s abt christianity lol

[loumandliker]

the way people respond to my Atheist Posting on here is so funny. “should we be less tolerant towards religious people?” yeah genius i do think we should stop pandering to religious bullshit and stop carving out exemptions for the hecking valid special little birthday boys bc their feelings might get hurt if you don’t take them seriously enough. what gave that away

never lose hope. somewhere, a middle-aged, gender ambiguous person with an advanced degree in an esoteric field and a fiber arts hobby could be crashing out and pinning all their remaining mental health on getting obsessed with your otp. any day now, the most elegantly written 100k fanfic you have ever read is going to hit ao3. it could happen. it has happened.

can I get a job as an editor but the only thing I do is correct when someone uses the word "prone" when they mean "supine"

a helpful mnemonic for everyone

too good for tags

This mnemonic has a permanent place in my life.

Every time in yoga class when my instructor would say "now get into a prone position" I would think "ah yes on your pronis"
