“Why do you put stickers on everything lmao you’re tanking the resale value”

What I want to say: The idea that making something look like it’s distinctly “yours” is a bad idea is inherently capitalistic, because it expects some sort of profit in the end which said action would threaten. Instead of buying something for the sake of having it and enjoying it, and owning it to the point it becomes obvious it is, in fact, yours, you’re expected to sacrifice the immense joy of individualising every part of your life for the sake of a potential amount of money, which in the end you usually don’t even get, which is the most capitalistic thing about the whole idea. It also posits the assumption that you will dispose of the thing you own before it’s broken, a deep part of consumerism, and simply the fact that uniformity is the desired end goal makes this a staple idea of a capitalist society.

What I actually say: idk it’s pretty lol

The thing about reclaiming slurs is that once you've been affectionally called 'faggot' by friends, loved ones, and amiable fellows on the internet for long enough, you almost forget that it means something else to people who hate you.

Honestly at this point if a stranger on the street yelled "hey faggot!" after me, I'd probably turn around like "what?" like they'd just casually called me by name, and they were only trying to get my attention because they wanted to tell me something, before processing that they're being hostile.
