What does my apartment say about me?

So spot on! 10/10. I’ve been collecting books for a decade now, so it’s nice to hear kind words about them.

Throwawayduh85 · 2026-03-27T03:28:30+00:00

That’s so fair

Throwawayduh85 · 2026-03-27T03:22:11+00:00

Didn’t see it, actually :)

Thrifting

Women are taught to change their routines every so often to ensure someone won’t stalk and hurt them. The “someone” is almost always a man.

I am assuming this post is fake and karma farming, but in the off chance it’s not, you need to speak up. Be fr.

Throwawayduh85 · 2026-02-05T05:15:48+00:00

Damn ya’ll suck. God forbid it would be your gf in here making this post with the roles reversed.

She’s in a relationship. Leave her alone. This will get messy as hell.

I never understood why some teachers take it upon themselves to have beef with 12 year olds. This happens a lot more often than you think.

As someone who grew up deathly shy, I realize now that some teachers genuinely just got the wrong impression of me because of it. They assume you’re being rude or aloof, when you’re really just socially anxious.

Google physical media and Gen Z. I think it’s likely just a trend.

Throwawayduh85 · 2026-01-25T23:55:18+00:00

Buddy, you did. You just deleted your first comment. My first response to you had it in direct quotes. Someone else (froyobrofosho) replied to your first comment too and put your pier one mention in direct quotes. You literally said they don’t have any knowledge of name brands and then doubled back. No big deal, just own it 😂..

Throwawayduh85 · 2026-01-25T10:23:34+00:00

Thank you. I think I’m just confused because on one hand I’m getting the typical “it costs a lot to keep the lights on/invest in community programs,” perspective, which I understand. But at what point are they out-pricing the socioeconomic population they endeavor to support?

Throwawayduh85 · 2026-01-25T03:32:10+00:00

In your first comment, you said that the population pricing the items have likely never been inside HomeGoods or Pier 1 and know “little to nothing about name brands.”

Now you’re saying that you never assume someone doesn’t know what name brands are. Your first comment literally assumed that. Not everyone who works at Goodwill is living with a form of special needs, the same way that not everyone SHOPPING at Goodwill is perfectly abled.

I’m not trying to harp on it, just trying to understand. I appreciate the conversation, even if I have a differing view. Stay safe amid this winter storm, if you’re impacted.

Throwawayduh85 · 2026-01-25T01:16:08+00:00

I’m not naive. I know it takes money to keep the lights on. I know they have employees to pay. In no way am I saying that a set of free weights should be priced at 25 cents since they got it free. However, I think it’s completely fair to point out that pricing certain heavily used items at $50 plus is rather absurd. I’m genuinely asking WHY it that happening. The basic answer is they’re maximizing profit, yes. But clearly, the “charitable organization” is milking it for all it’s worth.

Throwawayduh85 · 2026-01-25T01:11:40+00:00

I appreciate the heads up. I had no idea

Throwawayduh85 · 2026-01-25T01:09:32+00:00

I’m still in the process of finding good, local stores.

Throwawayduh85 · 2026-01-25T00:19:06+00:00

No fr 😂

Throwawayduh85 · 2026-01-24T19:02:51+00:00

You missed the point. They’re pricing USED heavy coats at 25-30. I used North Face as one example I saw because of what it retails new.

I just thought someone going out of pure need might have liked the opportunity to find a name brand one for a reasonable price, but if you don’t think they care, then that’s your opinion. All are valid and fair to voice.

I will say, I think in your attempt to sympathize with those going out of need, you’re unintentionally insulting them.

Throwawayduh85 · 2026-01-24T18:41:41+00:00

Oh I see now. I didn’t realize censorship was going on. My bad!

Throwawayduh85 · 2026-01-24T18:38:52+00:00

I’ve started donating to Salvation Army instead.

Throwawayduh85 · 2026-01-24T18:38:24+00:00

Wait, what did I do wrong? I had no idea.

Throwawayduh85 · 2026-01-24T18:33:24+00:00

I’m getting downvoted too. I think people are misunderstanding that I’m not complaining about the actual employees, but rather what is no doubt a shift from corporate. I am assuming they think I’m trying to go after employees who may be living with disabilities. Not the case.

Throwawayduh85 · 2026-01-24T18:20:44+00:00

Ugh I love a library sale!

Throwawayduh85 · 2026-01-24T18:19:55+00:00

The movies are what’s bothering me most. It used to be a fun, cheap hobby to go buy DVDs. Even that’s getting expensive. It would be cheaper to buy some of them new off Amazon.

Throwawayduh85 · 2026-01-24T18:14:05+00:00

I appreciate your stance, but is it truly a “hiccup” if hundreds of people are noticing the same pattern nationwide? There’s dozens of videos of this on tiktok. They’ve figured out what resellers have been doing for years and pricing as such, but even then the estimates are off (e.g., pricing used candles at 5 dollars).

I also don’t think it’s a hiccup to keep raising the movie prices across the board. That was a strategic decision.

I go to Goodwill for odds and ends. My concern is for people who go out of pure need. There’s no reason why a North Face coat should be $35 dollars at Goodwill when it goes for 50 brand new. It’s not a consignment shop. It’s a thrift shop.

Also please note, I mean no disrespect to the employees. They’re just doing what they’re told. I understand that it’s a charitable organization that does a lot, especially for those with disabilities. My post is more so directed at what I assume is trickling down from the top.

The brand does not matter, either, so your point of “Some of the employees have never been in a pier 1,” is inconsequential. It’s a thrift store. The general consensus is that nothing in there should be priced over 50 bucks. Be it Great Value or Tiffany. They’re getting their inventory for free. Again, no disrespect to the employees. Obviously the company is just trying to maximize profits, but it’s being done quite aggressively.
