  • Making things more vertical is always good. Find ways to hang things on walls or put up shelves. Accessory items (necklaces, scarves, sunglasses) are good candidates for hanging up. You could even hang up some commonly used cables for easy access. You can buy things to mount with lots of hooks, or just hang stuff on pushpins or jumbo pushpins… or hang up some sort of rope-y thing and hang stuff off of that.

    You could consider IKEA cube storage units (KALLAX)… there can also be versions of these at other stores. You can even stack one on top of your dresser. (be careful it won’t fall over and crush anyone). IKEA has inserts that fit perfectly into their cubes to add drawers or subdivide into two smaller shelves. You can also get cube shaped storage basket things that fit in this style of furniture.

    Check out storage containers geared towards people who do arts & crafts, you can find some interesting storage options there ,particularly if you have a lot of small items to sort



  • My ideal system would have two things to vote on… whether you like/agree with a comment and whether you think it contributes to the discussion. So you could upvote an entertaining quippy comment but also vote that it doesn’t really contribute anything meaningful, and you could downvote something you disagree with while still indicating it adds to the discussion.

    I doubt people would use it correctly, but I think its a nice idea in theory.



  • That’s a good question. Some anime styles, definitely not. Other anime styles, maybe. But it definitely doesn’t feel “childish” to me in the same way anthropomorphic animals do. It may be my personal experience. I associate anthropomorphic animals, and the particular art style of furries, to media I consumed between the ages of like 2 and 8. I wasn’t exposed to anime until I was a young teenager, so it doesn’t really have that association with childhood for me.

    I really do find it fascinating to analyze these biases, because I do consider it an irrational bias that I have. I can analyze the reasons for it, but it isn’t really a logic, just a feeling.


  • I find the anthropomorphic children’s cartoon aesthetic of furries to be extremely cringe. Its juvenile and ugly, and then when its sexualized or people are making fursuits, it becomes exponentially more cringe.

    I think if furries had a better art style and less weirdly anthropomorphized, I might even be on board.

    Edit: I just want to be clear that I don’t hate furries at all and have friends who are furries who I love and respect. I’m just trying to be honest about what I find off-putting about it because I imagine there are other people who have a similar “cringe” reaction to the art style and translate that into hate.
