Am canadian. thank you comment section.
People being thankful to the objects that make their life so much better ought to be the norm.
It's a reminder of how impotent we truly are without them.
- Appreciating something that improves your life makes sense. Saying “thank you” to an inanimate object seems pointless.
  
  It’s a vocalization of gratitude. It’s pointless except for the fact that you’re a social animal and saying things influences how you think
  
  Do you not curse out the desk when you stub your toe on it?
- Impotent? God i hope not...
Anons date was a Canadian.
- Could be Marie Kondo
  
  I was thinking about Marie Kondo. I believe she touched on something deep and spiritual there. We have a problem with utilitarianism and materialism in Western society. The distress we experience when throwing things out is the result of the disconnect between our attachment to an object, and the 'knowledge' that it's "just a thing". Marie gave people permission to formally end a relationship with the thing, which at least allows for some closure.
  It's probably psychologically healthier, and the environment would probably be in better condition, if we interacted with 'things' as beings worthy of our thanks. (In the end, a utilitarian argument.)
I mean, it seems pretty normalized to #curse# at inanimate objects when you aren't satisfied with them...
What is ftm?
- Trans, female to male.
- First Time Mother
I talk to inanimate objects and my dogs a lot. Roommates always think I'm talking to them.
Really? I usually find the autistic people have a hard time treating an inanimate object as if it has sentience, since they can barely do it to people.
- Inanimate objects don't say stuff like that about us.
- since they can barely do it to people.
  Ah that old autistic = no empathy myth, haven't seen anyone in the wild believing in it.
You could def do worse. Watch wat u wish 4. Btw how does he feel about hilady Ms. Katana or Mr. Crossbow?
Edit: Ms. Katana severed her previous relationship physically
Edit: Mr. Crossbow was cross when she crossed him and gave her his "best shot"
