i literally think of that “polynesians first to discover antarctica, not news to maori” headline so much it’s so fucking funny
highly skilled ocean voyagers living close to antarctica who have oral history of heading south and discovering a land full of ice sheets and mountains of ice and snow were first to discover antarctica, not news to said group of people
just throw them away then! why is people hoarding stuff that no one wants better. it all has to go somewhere when you die anyway
Wow it’s almost like the problem is our entire commercial fast fashion industry and not Marie Kondo.
Okay so I looked up the article and apparently the problem here is that they can’t sell most of the stuff they get (and thus they send it to the dump) and I’m like… why not just give it to poor people for free then. I doubt a homeless person is gonna care if their extra layer has a button or is in style or not. Or turn them into scrap to sell at a fabric store, or something. There are so many other solutions… this isn’t a problem with Marie Kondo and the people making donations, there’s one with charities being capitalistic first and wanting to help second.
Sometimes I go to myself “you know, I don’t understand what NFTs are” and then I go look it up again and discover, yes, actually I do know what NFTs are. It’s just that every time I read about them again I’m left going “this CAN’T be it, there has to be something else to make this make sense” and the answer is always no.
Because I honestly couldn't think of a better title.
