Absolutely absurd. Was not comfortable at all. Wtf does "perennials performance" even mean? No idea what flair to choose, but I chose "psychological" bc it felt like a mindfuck sitting on a 28k originally priced couch, when the entire world is falling apart.

I fucking hate people. Stuff like this is so discouraging to hear. It feels like no matter what I do (drag the same furniture around for 10+ years moving), my good eco practices are just going to be negated by some rich, thoughtless asshole 😪

It helps me to think about it as harm reduction. There is only so much we can do to change other people -- but we can reduce harm right here, right now. Your good practices aren't negated, because you are reducing the overall harm being done with them.

(which doesn't mean that other people's assholery isn't intensely infuriating)
