(Previously: the PLA-in-teabags stuff, them seemingly having removed ceylon from the Yellow Label tea, the supposedly 'forest fruit' tea actually being red fruit and the forest fruit apparently not being available anymore, the earl grey being bitter garbage, the orange tea no longer tasting like it used to...)
@eta (And I see it more as "attaching consequences to choices" than as "violence", exactly, even though the mechanisms are similar)
@eta I mostly hate that it's necessary, but I'm happy to at least have a tool that works without requiring too many spoons from my side 😐
@eta Although the issue is less prevalent in NL, it does happen here as well, and I've taken to just deliberately interpreting what people say literally and applying it in such a way that it would get awkward *for them* if they didn't actually mean it.
It seems to get the point across pretty well most of the time...
In fairness, this is the now-in-the-garage cabinet unit that used to be part of the house, and about which the landlord rep commented (5 years ago!) "I'm surprised it hasn't fallen apart yet, I think you're the only one with one of these that's still intact"
@babe After recovering from my transplantation, I've gotten a lot of energy back, and I've been whirlwinding through the house several weeks now, catching up on years of maintenance and also redoing my entire garden to grow vegetables!

"In 1743 opende Jacob Hooy een kruidenkraam op de Amsterdamse Nieuwmarkt. Hier begon, met de verkoop van kruiden en specerijen, de rijke historie van het bedrijf. En aan de firma kleeft niet alleen historie, maar ook een brok nostalgie. Nostalgie vooral naar het oude en vertrouwde handelen in kruiden."

Technical debt collector and general hype-hater. Early 30s, non-binary, ND, poly, relationship anarchist, generally queer.
Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
Feel free to flirt, but if you want to actually meet up and/or do something with me, lewd or otherwise, please tell me explicitly or I won't realize :) I'm generally very open to that sort of thing!
Further boundaries: boosts are OK (including for lewd posts), DMs are open. But the devil doesn't need an advocate; I'm not interested in combative arguing in my mentions. I am however happy to explain things in-depth when asked non-combatively.
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
