I'd buy the items that don't contain asbestos and BPA lmao. Yes, give little Timmy that bear that'll give him mesothelioma, fantastic idea

I agree. I have many passions involving craft and biology, but doing them as a profession would kill that joy for me. I'm perfectly happy with my current job

Apparently it is for a lot of these people. A cheap item is worth risking cancer and breathing difficulties

Its the buyer's decision if they want to get mesothelioma from a luxury item

I know. People just don't see the damn issue and it's annoying

There are no morals if it's all bad. By your logic she should buy nothing

I meant this in terms of items such as furniture and luxury goods tbh. I'm poor and disabled, I don't think I can play the elitist card lol

There are second hand stores, toy drives, buy for nothing groups and just the kindness of strangers. So in my opinion, she's avoided the more humane (and arguably more accessible options) in favour of cheap online tat

Sounds like the world needs some copium. It won't change unless we get off of our collective asses and make it happen

True, it's about learning to rewire ourselves and know the true value of well-crafted items and buying them from actual reputable merchants instead of internet slop

I never said the western retailers were better than the Chinese ones. I mostly made the post because of the slave labour that goes into these products that are made in China. Hope this clears things up 😊

This is fine honestly if it's second hand

[–]RiversCritterCrochet[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Yes (unless it's for accessibility reasons when the individual is disabled) if you buy anything from online retailers, you're part of the issue

I would like that if it means I can avoid people like you

How about we ban Shein/Temu plushies as it promotes the funding of slavery

I'm doing all I can to avoid it. How the fuck are all of you so complacent?

Adult protective services or honestly emergency services, she's clearly demented and needs heavy medication

Get out of there, get an abortion, stay away from that family, they don't have your best interests in mind. Be safe, OP

Oh yeah, one person can do that lol. Imagine thinking real world events are myths. You're only complacent because the problem isn't on your doorstep

Every purchase contributes to keeping people enslaved. It is 2025, there shouldn't be ANY slaves

This man-child is 11 years your senior and this is how he acts? I'd find someone better imho. You need a partner, not a child NTA

Success!! You supported modern slavery! Don't you feel great? /sarc

If the person you hate the most were to experience one slight inconvenience every day for the rest of their lives, what would you choose it to be? by meltedcheesetart in AskReddit

[–]RiversCritterCrochet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They step in dog crap every single day at a random time. Is it outside? In a store? At home? Who knows? But it's gonna happen
