Apart from all the consoomerism, another thing I hate about anime rooms is that they all look the same, I cannot stand the led lights trend as well, hope it dies soon and people cringe thinking how their room looked like that.

Any perfume collectors or possibly consoomers? I haven't lived with my mom for a good while now but she used to buy perfumes almost obsessively, but has stopped now. Whenever I go to visit there's just an entire box of unused perfumes set aside to be sold. How the fuck do you check secondhand perfume prices? Surely someone's buying…
My favorite is Dior's hypnotic poison, I have no idea if it's considered good or not, just that it's one of the first my mom bought for me as a young adult.

No. 1018079
>>1018007I will admit to having matching containers (real Tupperware, even) for everything in my pantry, fridge, and freezer. For me, it's easier to deal with food and keep everything fresh/visible/usable when it's organizers in these containers rather than the random different packages that everything comes in. Also, I probably have some mild form of OCD; the neatness and visual consistency is relaxing to me.
I buy food in bulk because I hate grocery shopping but love to cook (and eat). Costco is my favorite store that is not a book store. But, I mostly buy and eat whole foods and ingredients versus the kinds of foods shown in the pantry org videos. And I eat every single scrap of everything that I buy. For me, the only judgment that I have toward the people in the pantry videos is that they too often let food go to waste. What's the purpose of "organizing" if you're just going to let that happen?

I used to collect beanie babies as a kid and then beanie boos as an adult. I gave a bunch to a charity shop a while back because most (the boos) were from an ex so.. memories. He'd be an asshole and then buy me a 7 euro plush to make it up to me lol. The size of the collection really told a story when you consider that.
I've wanted to pick out 2 new ones that are self bought and that won't turn into a collection. I have one tiny triangular shelf that I wanted to stick 2 on and be done. I looked in a store months back and I nearly bought one but spotted a hole before reaching the cashier. I left it. Eventually I order 2 online and they arrive today… one is fine. Other had its head hanging off. I used to have so many of these things and never encountered holes for years. When you go on amazon it's popping up alot now in reviews. Like you've been making plush for decades?

If it exhausts you and you only care about how other people see you, it's not worth it. But if organising your fridge makes you feel better in your space, it's a nice thing to do.
As cheesy as it is, I apply the 'sparks joy' concept to stuff like that. All this hoarding consoomer shit does not spark joy for me but I definitely cultivate my space so that it does, ensuring stuff used in your mundane daily life is appealing does make a difference.

No. 1018252
>>1018203I've been thinking on this same topic for a while. I think there's a huge difference between doing something because of an exercise in creativity/reflecting what you like to see in your own surroundings and just doing something to upload it to aesthetic tik tok. "Aesthetic" used in the modern sense carries an air of doing something just to be seen and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Decorating yourself and your surroundings according to personal taste is very human behavior, all of us have the urge to do it, (if you were stranded on an island and had free time, wouldn't you decorate your lean-to with seashells to add a glimmer of happiness in a shit situation?) But boiling it down to being just cut-and-paste "aesthetic" is ingenuine, it's sanitized and empty. You can tell that a
lot of people featured ITT only care about uploading an aesthetic video or photo after buying the "right" things to be considered "aesthetic" by faceless viewers. That's fucking weird. But I think if a person decorates every inch of their space with patterns and styles that they themselves find happiness in without believing they have to spend money in order to truly express themselves, then that's no different from our ancestors painting on cave walls. The girl in the video, however, is greatly reducing the shelf life of the food in her fridge just for a video. That's why I find it pointless. If she really wanted to, she could find nice-looking containers for her things and just keep that little novelty to herself. Not everything you do needs to be blasted on every corner of the internet for random people's likes and views.

And it can be a combination of things.

It seems like I’m not the only one that likes the look of maximalist (idk if you could call pic tel maximalist or just cluttered) aesthetics, but hesitant or unwilling to actually make their living spaces reflect their personal tastes. In my house when I was growing up, a lot of the living room was filled with stuff , which were mostly utilitarian in use ,such as mainly storage boxes and suitcases, and I hated how it looked, so a part of me torn between having non-utilitarian stuff for the sake of it simply looking nice and the reality that I should probably just stick to utilitarian stuff but try to hide it away

I hate soulless quasi-Scandinavian IKEA interiors, I could never feel comfortable in a place that doesn't feel like my own. I used to live with an ex who was a minimalist in the aesthetics sense and wanted to kms every morning when I woke up. It felt like something out of r/MaleLivingSpaces and soundproofing was awful because it was almost empty, no cozy rugs, shelves or paintings to soften the noise.

I'd try to get out this thought as good as I can.
Can modern veganism being seen as a consoom move?
Lately I've been interesed in vegan products since I didn't like meat so much to begin with, I was an extremely picky child and that stuck with me in adult age and I was happy to hear that more veggie and vegan option were added to supermarkets but when I got there they were SO processed and in SO MUCH plastic, it made me feel terrible. I hate processed food and I think that maybe getting two eggs from your local farm, and luckily I live in a country where you can easily find farmers, it's better than buying "vegan cheese" wrapped in tons of plastic and made out of almonds and other nuts. This is half sustainability and half consoom, but when I see vegan people feeling good just because they "respect animals" but then import shit from the other side of the world and fill their carts with plastic I die inside, why not buying fruit and veggies and make stuff by yourself, instead of falling for the "Corporations Care" meme?
This is not about the vegan choice per se, more like why going crazy when some big corporation announces vegan options with bright colors wrapped in plastic and are made to be appealing and to be consoomed, instead of focusing on the roots, those being fresh fruits, mushrooms, nuts and vegetables?
In pic, Lidl. I searched "vegan lidl" and this made my skin crawl

>>1018874>>1018877We're the same. I personally love some XIXth century styles interior (especially the neo gothic ones) as well as traditional interior from various countries. Pic related encapsulates pretty well what I like : deep colors, luxurious curtains, comfy rugs, beautiful wood, and fairy tale mirrors. I hate minimalist aesthetic, it's antithetic to the historical and folkloric aesthetics of every single one human culture. It's yet another example of post modernism destroying beauty.

>>1018953I definitely see where you're coming from, but I think it's more a consequence of American consumerism in general than a specifically vegan thing. Variations on pastes made out of beans (tofu, falafel etc) have been made for ages without all the extra branding & packaging. In a similar vein, people have been making cheese for centuries, but it's a pretty uniquely modern phenomenon to buy it in single-serve quantities in plastic containers with cringey branding.
Food (vegan food esp) is definitely marketed in a 'consoom product' kind of way. But I don't think that should put you off veganism if you're doing it for animal mistreatment.
No. 1018965
>>1018961Ayrt, the thing is that I grew up with half of my family being farmers, my grandma would usually send me to fetch off the eggs from the chickens she had, but I didn't like meat at all, I don't like the flavour, texture (if something requires me to chew more than 30 seconds is trash) and all, the point is that growing up in a european countryside I always saw naturally no-waste products, naturally no processed food and all but obviously, in winter we had to rely on animals as if many vegetables won't survive, that's why when I grew up in a larger city I cringed when people said they respected life by eating vegan when vegan means processed food in plastic for them. It's not about the vegan diet per se, I repeat, is more like how people are missing the entire point if they pollute the environment with packagings. There's no point in buying metal straws if you buy processed vegan food and claim to be an animal lover, that's the point.
Same thing with people buying "vegan leather" which is essentially plastic, the "eco/green/sustainable" label is there to appeal to people but it's no different, if not worse, from animal derivates.

>>1018953True, but a lot of it is no worse than mass-produced omni/veggie options, especially with the plastic packaging or shipping form overseas. Though there are some notable vegan alternative offenders like agave syrup, depending on where you live.
I'm definitely guilty of it though. I kind of see it as picking your battles e.g. caring about animal rights isn't negated just because you also want a soy burger. Though I know that's not a good argument either, problem is when I try to think about how I need to do better it's just exhausting.
But you're 100% right about the marketing for this stuff. Eat the vegan cheese, or don't eat the cheese, that company definitely does not care about the environment. It's even worse with Veganuary rn.
>>1018965Some vegan leather is good though, at least in terms of quality lasting over time.

It takes many years for soil to recover so few in the agricultural industry are willing to make the switch to more sustainable, natural farming methods.
I'm in favour of small farms producing food for the local community with sustainable farming methods but I wonder if that's possible on a large scale with the size of the earth's population.

>>1018792My dad is a fridge hoarder and it's terrible. It looks like your pic except other types of random shit. I can't grocery shop once a week and just go through my groceries throughout the week (I cook for myself and my idiot brother since my parents work until late at night) because he packs the fridge with random shit. He bought a second fridge "because the first one is packed" like no duh and it's your fault. I had to stop buying my carton of soymilk because he got pissed at the space it took up. A single carton of soymilk because my family is lactose intolerant and I'm the only one not stupid enough to drink milk (which we have).
Maybe like 20% of the fridge is actually food you can prepare and eat. The rest of it is endless amounts of sauces, tons and tons of juice, lots of expensive Chinese medicial herbs, and all little other bits of random shit he brings home from the restaurant he works at. It's infuriating because god forbid I buy a head of broccoli and don't get to cook it that night, then he gets mad because my broccoli is taking up space. Uh, do you… not see everything else that is yours? Our freezer broke down and instead of letting me get a repairman in (that I offered to pay for) he went out and bought a chest freezer. Filled that shit up too.
I buy fresh food for my dog and it has to be kept in the freezer and I pull out a pack to defrost as I need it. I literally ask for one little shelf or one little space just to have to put our dog's food in. As soon as space starts freeing up, he filled it up. He looooooooooves to wrap mystery meat in a brick of plastic wrap and put it in the freezer. There's tons and tons of these little packs of whatever fucking meat in the freezer. I thought maybe with a chest freezer that was quite a big size, we'd have some room and leeway now. Nope, it's filled up again. It drives me up the fucking wall. Our original freezer started working again and now he's filled that up too. What's the entire top shelf? ICE. He bought those molds that make ice balls (that people use a lot for bathbombs) and now has a bunch of ice balls up in the freezer. Our fridge has a ice maker/dispenser.
Fridge hoarding drives me up the wall. I'm always the one who gets yelled at for not eating what's in the fridge but the majority of it is either garbage food that no one wants to eat because none of us even asked him to bring it home, sauces, or some other random shit. He gets mad at everyone else when we run out of space but seems blind to the fact that he can easily solve his own problem by throwing out his own shit from the fridge.
Before anyone says "just clean out the fridge", I don't want to deal with 1) cleaning out his stuff because he won't learn and will just refill the space, and 2) don't want to deal with his inevitable tantrum that I've seen him throw when my mom cleans out the fridge. I long for the day I can have a fridge that other normal families have, even if it would be a bit messy.

Facebook marketplace is now the bane is my existence because he buys so much junk. He will not sell anything on there, he just buys and buys and buys. He used to frequent those federal auction websites too. I mentioned how I'd like a tea set once because we have a small chinese one that we sometimes used and I thought it'd be nice to have one of my own, and he goes on that stupid website and buys a rusting ~*~antique~*~ tea set and got mad that I wouldn't use it. Um, I'm pretty sure it's a display only piece. My parents also shop at costco and BJs. They rarely buy prepackaged frozen foods, but we have 6 bottles of listerine just sitting on the floor when only my dad uses it, not to mention lots of other stuff like shampoo and toothpaste just piling up.
I think the only reason why I'm not a super rabid consoomer is because I am filled with a sense of dread because of my dad's consooming. This is not the type of person I want to be. This is not the type of place I want to live in. I don't want to live in a shiny, sleek minimalist magazine display, I just want to live like a normal person.

>try to get those sweet almonds or tofu from anywhere that isn't asiaMost almonds are grown in California, and American-made tofu is easy to find because soy is grown virtually everywhere to feed livestock. But the 'well you can just buy local' cope falls apart easily given that the vast majority of both vegans and non-vegans don't put any effort into researching where their food is coming from; the only real difference is that red meat is objectively more destructive to the environment given the energy that ruminants require, and the increase in worldwide red meat consumption is why soy is being pushed into everyone's diet.

It is hard, but that's why you deliberately make this choice and plan carefully who to have kids with.
My cousin is such a lazy bitch and I feel bad for my niece (don't know the right term in English) because she doesn't even bother to put on some nice cartoons for her like Krtek or Moomins. Only dumb YouTube baby nursery rhymes over and over, she won't even sing any to her herself. My mom told her many times what to do but she doesn't really care.
OTOH, another thing I've noticed is that parents can be very bitchy to other parents and there's a lot of pressure to enrol your kid in 100 different elite classes and activities that the child doesn't even care about. They seem very afraid of letting their kid be bored and nobody lets their kids out to play by themselves in my neighborhood anymore. When I was a kid, my mom let me play outside with my friends and didn't know what I got up to until lunch time, now the mom has to go with the kid everywhere and keep watch.

>>1019099Artificial fertilizer is basically produced from three chemicals, nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. The main source of potassium is phosphorite and the main source of phosphorus is potash both of which are open pit mined. Open pit mining is extremely hazardous for both humans and animals. Once the pit has been depleted it leaves behind mine tailings which are what is left over after ore has been separated from rock. Tailings contain
toxic and sometimes radioactive metals that enter the air as dust which then enters the atmosphere. If you want a worst case scenario for this look into Picher in Oklahoma. The other major hazard caused by mining is acid mine drainage. Rain water floods disused mines and the exposed ore dissolves into the water which then runs off into rivers and pollutes ground water.
If you want to know why veganism is being pushed so hard by major corporations follow the money. Companies such as Dow Chemical, Monsanto and Bayer stand to gain massive profits from the increased use of artificial fertilizer, pesticides and GMO crops. These are the companies behind such persistent organic pollutants as polychlorinated biphenyl, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane and polychlorinated dibenzofurans.

>>1019615Most people just don't care or are lead to believe in false solutions. Big chemical companies have been polluting the environment for over one hundred years. What usually happens is that they are allowed to produce a chemical until it's undeniable that it causes damage to life and the environment. Children are born dead and deformed, people die of cancer or are crippled by autoimmune diseases. The government bans the chemical and the tax payer then has to pay for the production site's remediation and clean up of
toxic waste. The big companies move on to something else and the process repeats.

And if they put the wrong dog down, why acting like some burgly motherfuckers that run in people's yards and grab them by hand, instead of going out, having a talk with their owner, confirming that's the dog, putting it down and then calling some specified service to dispose of the body, instead of putting it in a plastic bag and dump them in some hole in the ground, as they always do? Dead animals need to be cremated, not put together with trash, that's even unsanitary and can lead to diseases.

I have a retarded coping mechanism.
Looking at vintage dresses on eBay puts me in a good mood. If I’m feeling upset, I look up 60s mod dresses, the super short type with the gathered waist and skater skirts and slightly puffed sleeves. I look up vintage Gunne Sax capes. I save dozens of tabs full of 1970s dresses, vintage patchwork skirts, 1960s mod dresses and early 70s tartan coats, black vintage dresses with fitted bodices and slightly puffed sleeves, and I have been mourning lately the fact that I will never be able to afford any of that because of where I live and the fact that I’m a poorfag, but mostly I’ve been mourning the fact that I’ll never touch the Victorian Maiden Ivory Petit Fours Skirt, and the Jane Marple Russian Doll skirt. Whoever has the money to buy that skirt, I hate them. If there is one hater of the buyer of the Jane Marple Russian Doll skirt, it’s me. If there are five haters of the buyer of the Jane Marple Russian Doll skirt, I am one of them. If there isn’t any haters of the buyer of the Jane Marple Russian Doll skirt, I am dead.

Mining is not sustainable because earth minerals are not an infinite resource. Multibillion dollar mining companies extract phosphorite and potash from the ground through mining, profiting from the destruction of the environment. Phosporite and potash is then processed by multibillion dollar chemical companies with a disgusting environmental record. Hint Monsanto was the main manufacturer of agent orange, a deadly herbicide contaminated with dioxin, Bayer used slave labour provided by concentration camps and manufactured Zyklon B, Dow Chemical is the parent company of Hooker Chemical who caused the Love Canal disaster which was so bad it lead the formation of the US Superfund and Union Carbide which was responsible for the explosion of the Bhopal pesticide plant. These companies then sell their artificial fertilizer and pesticides at a profit to be sprayed onto monocrops which depletes the soil and pollutes the environment.

If the consumer culture were to change massively (ending fashion trends as we know it) perhaps we'd have a chance at stopping some of this damage- but to be honest it's more likely that things will only get worse as evident by gen z's Shein craze.
In the ideal world garments just need to be revolutionized; if there were a way to both make consumers desire long lasting well made pieces and stop being lured by "sales" (a full outfit used to cost at
least the equivalent of a few months work either in labor or currency for most of human history, our expectations are extremely spoiled today) while also ensuring the processing from start to finish is rooted in the natural, we would at least halt the damage to our planet.

I already talked about how I managed to declutter my shelves because I sold a bunch of video games, DVDs and manga I don't care about anymore in the previous thread, and now I'm thinking about how I still have some small notebooks I've bought for university that I didn't use after all. I also have a bunch of pens because I accumulated them thanks to jobs despite barely using the ones I bought before that. I'm wondering how I could use them to not waste them. I usually take notes on my phone if I don't have paper on me, and I already gave a lot of paper and larger notebooks to my youngest sister because she needed them for high school and now for university. I've already been thinking about using one small notebook to write recipes I can't find online (or the ones online are shit) but my mother just won't give me her recipes because she always forgets about it.

Pls no sperg But I relate to anons who have a small obsession with stationary. However, I did end up selling a lot of my stationary collection and after getting an iPad and slowly going paperless I feel so much better. Even just a google document/ digital notepad works just as well. (I don’t think I could go digital art only though, but I don’t hoard art supplies anyway)
I’m not completely paperless since I’m still a little paranoid about my digital stuff getting deleted for some dumb reason so I’m keeping 1 notebook that will let me keep a physical paper archive without it taking up too much space. I plan on getting a scanner too so I can get rid of some sketchbooks/journals/art books but still have pdfs of the images. Also would anons be interested in a thread where we could dump stuff like art book pdfs? I haven’t checked /m/ in a while.

Started collecting again when I was 18, so I had complete sets of out of print mangas that are still sought after. Also some one shots here and there. I think I've sold more than 40 volumes in a span of two weeks. Hit the jackpot because the underage weebs were full of christmas pocket money. I made 1.2k in my currency, about 950 bucks went into my wallet (the rest were taxes and shipping stuff).
When I made the listings, I checked Amazon and other secondhand websites to have a general idea of how much I could ask. I did not sell them with the intention of making a huge profit, because 1. fuck scalpers lol it's just books and 2. it's better to sell with a lower margin of profit than have it sitting unsold and collecting dust. I also offered a 15 to 20% discount if they wanted another set.

>>1021572I've never heard of shopee but apparently it's available in my country, so I'll keep that in mind. Honestly I think I sold way more books than you did but never got that much money from selling them because I sold these books to secondhand stores that would give me 1.5€ to 2€ per books, unless I agreed to be payed in coupons which is counterproductive in my case. As for Momox (it's a secondhand online) the prices really depended on what I sold and the demand. For example I got like 50 cents for the first volume of Quantum Devil Saga and I got nearly 40€ for the second volume. On top of that manga in my country have always been popular so people go to bookstore to buy them before looking online for secondhand copies. It's funny, what I kept is mostly older series that are out of print or that have new, better editions because I won't be able to sell these manga anyway but I genuinely can't find good scans for them either online.
I also bought a few manga on Vinted and what's called Leboncoin (basically craiglist but French) right after getting rid of a lot of books and some of the prices I've seen were just straight up insulting. Scalpers really are pieces of shit, if you want the regular 5 volumes of Paradise Kiss with yellow pages and slightly damaged covers be ready to spend between 80€ and 120€ on them. The series has been released recently in a all in one edition but the book's cover has a horrible quality and it's so thick it looks like a dictionary.

>>1021833As someone who changed their style after loss of a very close person to me, I have some advice.
Buy new articles of clothing slowly and keep most of your old stuff unless you have no space left in your closet. Changing your whole style in a short span isn't a good idea as you will mostly only buy similar styles of clothes and get bored of dressing like that after a while.
Try to buy 1-2 articles of clothing that you really love each time you go shopping so you dont buy stuff you dont like just to buy new things.
Also dont do a capsule wardrobe. Clothes are a way we express ourselves, especially as women as we have a wider variety of choices than men. Buy clothes that you love seeing yourself in instead of basics that make you invisible. Throwing out all of your stuff and buying a new capsule wardrobe isn't good for the environment either, don't throw away your perfectly fine clothes just to jump on the trend.

Sage for samefagging, now that I often work from home I'm considering getting some new furniture to have everything in order. I live with my family so I do everything in my room, and I have a desk, but ever since I finished studying I put my TV on this desk. I'm considering using the desk for my work laptop and getting a low table for my TV because it's a small one and I use it only for video games. On top of that I want a chair like pic related but they all seem very expensive for some reason, at the lowest they're a bit above 50€. Are they worth the price? Also, are there any anons that have those weird car seat looking gamer chairs? How are they?

Unless it has a solid L shape because the ones without a sort of brace to them will just…fall over for the back area if you lean against it. We had those for games as kids where the back could click to lay down except over time it wore down so I wouldnt even recommend that. Pic related is what I mean by a solid L shape. I have a gaming chair since 2017 or so instead of my old ikea one and for me my back doesnt feel any pain after 8-15 hours of sitting in it. Mine is a clutch XXL size because I wanted the seat large enough for crossing my legs in a pretzel or fuck all position. They go on clearance semi regularly so the normal price is a bit of a lie. It got me through having to practically lay down on it from surgery issues that hurt way too much to let my torso crease. Its downside is the underseat is an entire pain in the ass for cleaning out.

All of my family calls me a "minimalist" because I live in a really small apartment and just physically cannot store very much. I'm not a minimalist, I just have to think about where something will go before I buy it. For context, my kitchens' only cabinet can store 2 mugs, 2 cups, 2 plates, and 1 bowl, and that's all I have for dinnerware. The rest of my apartment is similarly limited and I don't even have a closet for clothes so I have to really manage what I own and purge things when new stuff comes in. So each year for Christmas I request for them to not get me anything (they NEVER do this, but I truly would love if there was one year no one got me anything) or if they must, get me "consumables", like lotion, soap, coffee, candy, etc. They've slowly started buying that I'm not just outright lying to them and I've been happy to receive more small items but honestly this year was insane.
I was handed a gift from a family member as she announced, "I know youre a minimalist so I got you something helpful." And she hands me pic related. It's a giant bagel slicer. I can't tell if shes joking initally, but I realize she isn't. I feel so bad… I think they only really use these in cafes where they need to cut 500 bagels in succession. It's heavy, it's made of plastic, and it's got a huge blade so I immediately know she didn't consider that I flew in and now I'll have to spend $30 to check my bag on the airplane. I feel like such an asshole but just, what is the thought process exactly? I've kept it for now just out of guilt and finally got some bagels to try to give it at least one use. It doesn't work at all. It's an as-seen-on-TV product that borders on being a gag-gift. It's got so much plastic on it I feel horrible for throwing it away, but it's also not even something I could give to someone. I just feel like no one takes more than a few moments to consider the apartment they all know I live in and what might be impractical for me. I put a lot of thought into other peoples gifts and try to be considerate. What do you girls usually do with gifts that you can't use or don't need?

Does anybody remember the time on the youtube where the makeup community would glorify having needless amounts of makeup? It's still excessive compared to the normal woman who wears makeup, but at least there are now channels who are more critical of hoarding and the industry in general. People like that still exist because of reviews but this video is so wild. I also feel like people have moved onto hoarding skin care because it's easier to justify since you use most of it everyday and if you hate it, you can just use it on your body or something.

How do you all feel about hiring/renting clothes (and for other goods/services such as a washing machine subscriptions)? I was reading just another article about it today, it seems like they're expecting the fashion for rental-industry to boom in 2022. This particular article I was reading about was fo babies up to 2 years or so, which makes perfect sense: they grow so quickly so it's a great, low-consuming way of dressing your child but I also feel like we're slowly being steered in the way of owning as little as possible to be as reliant on companies providing goods/services as possible (not just with clothes) in the name of "sustainability/low-consumering"
No. 1023306
>>1023123I considered it, but the cost did not justify the benefits of always having new clothes. I used to have a stupid fear of being judged for rewearing clothes too often (I like to wear them at least 2 times before they go into the wash if they haven't got any new stains on them), then I realized that fear was stupid as fuck and no one actually gives a shit unless they're weird consoomers who live off shein and fashionnova tier clothes to just have something to show off. There's a lady at my job who is subscribed to rent the runway, but I think it could be justified for her because she's a news anchor and needs a new outfit for when she appears on TV. I can't think of many other situations where it's necessary. Regular people do not need that new outfits all the time.
I do like the idea of not having more stuff in my apartment so I get the appeal of having new stuff without sacrificing space for it, but it's not worth the price for me. I feel like another dangerous thing about them is I think you can sometimes just keep or buy the clothes they sent you for a discount if you like it? It's the same as marketing emails, they show you shit you don't need and then of course you might think "oh this is really nice, and it fits me so well!" so you think you can't live without it and give them more money on top of the subscription you already pay just to keep it. Awful.

Besides that, I don't think renting certain clothes is that bad, like gowns and fancy clothes or necklaces. There's also ethnic and special clothing you can rent in other countries (example, kimono, cosplay, lolita or maid clothes) that I'm sure some people will probably only use once so that's fine.
When it comes to stuff like Fashion Nova or other type of outrageous eye-catching clothes (could be high fashion too) I also imagine some rental business in the making, since most people rather have crazy Instagram pictures than have an interesting personality. I already know some private jet owners rent their seats for like half an hour or so to certain influencers to take pictures inside them… And they don't even fly anywhere. Lol. It's all for show.

>>1023879I used to think like you. I thought Lolita was so ugly and off-putting, until I was converted online. There’s just something about taking feminine aesthetic tropes and cranking the volume up to 100 - that decadent excess is very attractive to me, and not in a conventionally pretty way, but in an aesthetically interesting way. It has what I call Feminine, But As A Repellant effect, this ugly visual forcefulness. And it’s very intensely physical, by the way, just look at the excess of petticoats and ruffles and layers, stacks on top of stacks on top stacks, growing into an ugly surplus of fabric made of little parts that are ugly together, but probably visually pleasant apart. That idea is really exciting to me. I also think it’s fun because it subverts those aesthetic tropes; instead of girlish and coy, it’s garish and imposing. Too bad I live in a shithole where I’d get heckled if I ever tried to wear shit like that and I’m too broke to spend my money on clothes anyway. That’s probably for the best, kek.

That's like paying to go to an "office room" with a bunch of your friends where you can sit around in a cubicle and pretend you're crunching numbers. Like what is the fucking point. Are people really this sheltered from normal physical labour?
And also how is this a fun date idea? If the point of a breaking room is supposed to be to release your anger or something then I wouldn't want to be in there with anyone who's getting really into it. It doesn't sound very romantic watching a moid rage at inanimate objects.

>>1024707I feel like people who think like this have to be super sheltered or something. They have absolutely no sense of the size of the global population and how much more efficient large scale production/dense housing is. Hunting, DIY, and growing your own vegetables are cute ideas, but there's simply not enough resources for every person on the planet to live this way.
6 million deer can sustainably be harvested per year in the US - how is that supposed to feed a population of 332 million? India continues to suffer from massive food security problems because its agricultural sector is made up of small farmers with a very low production rate. People who live in rural areas produce huge per capita amounts of emissions because they drive everywhere and have everything they buy trucked massive distances, while NYC residents produce 30% less than the national average per person.
There's so much information to support the idea that homesteading is unsustainable/environmentally inferior to urban living, but people just ignore it so they can play little house on the prairie. Believing that your actions have no impact on the environment just because you're surrounded by nature is disturbingly childlike.

Your solution is to just keep squishing an ever increasing population into less space, where their mental health goes to absolute shit. Your solution is to pack more & more people into communities where they don't even know their neighbour, much less their whole town. Do you realize how detrimental that shift has been to the human psyche? To transition from villages of tens of thousands where everyone knew each other, into unfathomably huge, sprawling metropolises. Where even the most important person is a brick in the wall that can be replaced tomorrow. Where hundreds die every day, and the vast majority of the city has no clue who they are. Where there are so many useless middlemen pushing paper that the concept of adding value to society is now completely divorced from the concept of work. Where everyone is depressed with low attention spans, chasing instant gratification & rotating addictions. Cities have been a cancer on the human mind.

There are plenty of people out there who try do steer themselves away from mass consumering and try to discourage others, but clearly it's a small number of people and it will stay small because of social media/marketing brainwashing happening at every corner.
People will not leave cities, because cities are where the jobs are. Why do you think people willingly travel to NYC or LA to "make it big"? You don't have to force people into cities, people will always willingly follow where the money is.

Working class men are some of the biggest consoomers around. They like to disguise their hoarding by pretending it's utilitarian, but at the end of the day they're buying a ton of equipment and tools that will get one use and then gather dust for decades. They're also rabid brand fanboys, and will buy any flimsy piece of crap if "their brand" puts it out (that's why snap-on makes popcorn makers and toaster ovens).
It's been like this in every male-dominated hobby I've gotten into, whether it's armchair photographers amassing tens of thousands of dollars of lenses or aquarium guys masturbating over their favorite brand of water conditioner. It's annoying to see them constantly get a pass just because they're not amiibo hoarding soyboys.

Korean makeup styles at least seems light, accentuating femininity and looking more modest and tasteful. And their fashion is better too, more feminine and subtle, even the hair styles are cute and natural looking.

Plus, pale girls rarely look good with a heavy tan. Tan girls can look weird with lightened skin. I think it usually looks off when someone tries to look like something they’re not.

Short answer: I enjoy it. Shiny sparkly make brain go ooga booga.
Long answer:
I come from a war torn ex-commie country, grew up poor and was taught that I don't need anything in life aside the bare necessities. Now that I have money and increased my quality of life significantly, it gives me immense satisfaction to buy something that's purely for my own entertainment. I also often get fancier stuff for my mom that she couldn't get for herself. Oh yeah and I get an extra kick out of gambling because I studied probability in uni and did a work on how to manipulate people in casinos with math, so it's a twisted satisfaction, think of that episode of Brooklyn 99 with Holt playing poker.

nonnie, plastic goods and plushies seem like a hassle, and you can enjoy manga and artbooks in high res digitally (through pirating and amazon jp). I recently even found a cheap company that does hardcore cover printing so you can dodge shipping and taxes from Japan by buying artbooks digitally.

My collection was really big because I bought a lot when Borders went bankrupt and I would find a lot of manga for $1-2 at a local used book store.

>>1028559>>1028555When Nietzsche stated that "God is dead and we have killed him" he wasn't saying it triumph, he was echoing what had already been figured out at that point, that the enlightenment basically killed any possibility of God existing
Nietzsche knew that once people didn't believe in religion anymore they would sink into hedonism/consumerism to cope with a lack of defined ideal. People react more to desire rather than reason (he also gave his vision of a modern man learning and creating art for the sake of it for a new morale baseline).
Without religion the west sunk into ideas about radical ideologies, Nationalism, Communism and Monarchism
during WW2 and the Cold war America destroyed these ideals and established the neo-liberal world order
This is why we are the way we are right now, the global system established in the past half century is meant to produce defective human beings who can only consume

>>1028588you're basically right about what 'god is dead' means but what i think you're wrong about is that you don't consider consumerism one of the radical ideologies. you should; consumerism is a radical way of viewing the world; it's totally unsustainable, destructive, cooking the planet and it's not even making people happy because everyone is overworked; i.e., consumerism doesn't even make sense on its own terms. echoing the common criticism of communism, consumerism sounds great on paper but doesn't work in practice.
basically, of the four radical ideologies we can identify here (nationalism, communism, monarchism, and consumerism/capitalism) consumerism is the one that
won the conflicts of the 1900s and is now ascendant
i'll add that none of these ideologies were ever limited to the west; soviet union and china were/are obvi communist states; japan is very nationalist; etc.

The Victorian era was a more religious time period but was actually known for its consoomerism too. I would hope that religion

This account is frightening
https://www.tiktok.com/@namealipbalmidonthave In a video on her youtube she states she has over 800 (of one brand specifically, Lipsessed). I checked the Lipsessed Etsy page and each chapstick is $4.50. At 800 exactly, full priced for each chapstick her collection is worth at least $3,600. She has more than 800 Lipsessed chapsticks and more chapsticks from other brands. What on Earth? I'd rather not harsh on the girl herself because she's only 14 and seems nice enough but you know she hasn't been buying this stuff with her own money. Her parents have spent almost 4k on novelty chapsticks and I just can not wrap my head around this particular parenting decision. I could understand financially supporting a child's expensive hobby if they were learning a skill, especially a potentially financially lucrative one or one that had social cachet or that could impress college admissions. I could understand supporting an expensive hobby that kept them fit or that gave them social opportunities. I could understand spending 4k on getting a child a nice wardrobe of clothing and shoes especially once they've stopped growing.
But why are they buying her all this chapstick?
And for that matter I hope this girl's relationship with the vendor is familial or something. Like maybe this is just an older cousin she looks up to whose business she is supporting and she's actually getting this stuff for free. Because otherwise an adult is takin advantage of a young person she sees as a cashcow and that really sucks. Unfortunately I don't think they are related which just makes me uncomfortable, if you're an adult wouldn't you feel bad about selling to children like this?

for example, if someone buys makeup because of a celebrity endorsement, that's probably consuming
if they buy an excessive amount of it, that's probably consuming
if they buy a reasonable quantity for their level of interest and use a lot of it, that's probably not what most people would consider excessive consumerism, though it might still be consumerism based on some definitions

once again, not all figures are flavor of the month garbage figures churned out by good smile 10 times a month. for example there are original figures, sometimes even produced and sold directly by the artist without a manufacturer. like i said, there are different levels to it just like the examples you gave with makeup.

Some people inevitably become consoomers because of the way they were raised. My friend was raised by wealthy parents who taught her "you should enjoy your money" but she doesn't put any actual effort in building a career like her parents did, so she has been steadily consooming all her savings away and has started complaining about "being poor".
Meanwhile I was raised by poor parents who wanted me to have a better life than them, they told me that money = freedom, and I am thankful for that. I make enough money now to be able to just work for half a year, and take some time off for the remainder of the year. Just chilling out and doing whatever I want without any financial stress in the back of my mind. That will forever be 1000x more valuable to me than the useless stuff people buy to fill the void

A lot of my friends who came from lower income working class families are terminal consoomers who will spend every last one of their pennies buying crap they don't even need just because they came across the money. You give them $100, instead of saving it for when they need it they immediately have to spend it because they never learned the concept of savings and when the month comes to an end and they have bills to pay they're broke and have to resort to loaning from friends. You see this happening with cows e-begging all the time.

>>1031013This is fucking grim.
I used to go to the dollar store pretty much once a week after work and would pick up a shit load of candy, chips, and junk foods. I justified it by being like 'It's only for the week, and it doesn't cost me too much!' But the reality is I could blow through entire bags in like 2 days. I stoped going as often so I'm saving $10-15 a week and I've lost some weight (since I'm not maintaining the habit)

>>1030241Ngl this meme is kind of dumb. Of course a weeb would be interested in a place that is shoving all of their interests in their face rather than a place with all your basic advertisements.
This is like taking a photo of a lolita soyjack being angry in target or something and then cuckfacing at ap or some shit. Obviously they’d be interested in the place that is specifically catered to their interests than one catered to the “interests” of the general public

These weeb/aesthetic rooms rub my OCD the wrong way. Whenever I look at it I just wonder if they ever dust the furniture or wash the tons of plushies. Implying the windows are often covered with posters or garbage like that and the room is filled to the brim, it doesn't get enough ventilation, which makes me believe their bedroom smells musty.

>>1031630I pay for spotify but it took me a while until I finally stopped paying for crunchyroll and returned to my old pirating ways. There's no way around it, I pay for spotify for its convenience as opposed to illegally downloading music and syncing it onto my phone. I have an old iphone and haven't synced it since changing laptops, and now I use linux on my new laptop and can't be pissed to deal with putting itunes on it. I share netflix and hulu with friends although I know I should stop because I never really use them anyway.
I do use spotify every day, and I'm considering getting youtube premium since I use it all the time for background noise (I use it on my ipad so no adblock, plus I have it around when I'm cooking so being able to not have to pause when switching to gdrive to look at a recipe would be nice). Still debating on youtube premium because it feels unnecessary and overpriced for shitty basic features. The ads don't even really bother me all that much. I don't like the free version of spotify because I skip songs like crazy.

It's only if you rack up 1000s of copyright letters or upload/download hundreds of TB each month that the ISP will kick you off.

>>1017888This is me. I have over 40. I just love them so much. I love researching notes, reading people's reviews and watching yt videos. I love smelling amazing and always smelling different, according to mood, weather and outfit. I don't hoard them and let them just sit there. I wear perfume to work every day, I wear it when I go out anywhere and at home for my own enjoyment. So, I use all of the stuff I have. I'm not saving anything for "a special event" that's never gonna come. But still, I do often think it would be nice to stop until I go through a few bottles. But it's like I can't. It's always something new that interests me. I can afford the habit. I don't buy them in lieu of something more important. But STILL. I think I should make an effort to buy less because obviously once you get to a certain number it's just overwhelming. I see people with a couple hundred in their collections often and that's unmanageable. I'll never stop being into them so I think I should just make sure I always hover around the same number because ultimately they do bring me joy.
>>1032225I'm torn about this. I love that a male idiot is spending money on a woman who doesn't give a shit and he won't get anything out of what he bought, except sadness. But I also hate this online prostitute culture.

How consoomerist am I for wanting to purchase ergonomic office equipment ranging in the area of thousands of dollars just based on aesthetic home office content I find on Pinterest and YouTube? to be fair, I do a WFH job and have back problems, but I don't know if that justifies me wanting the $1500 dollar standing desk and $600 custom chair from picrel. I know I could get something equivalent for much cheaper, but stuff like this makes me want to spend big.

>>1032109>Are you in Germany? I've heard that Germany is one of the worst places for pirating because of the strict laws. yup. back when DVDs just got really popular, they always had a short video to warn against pirating on it. it was usually a mom taking her two young kids to some fence and they sang happy birthday there and then it panned out and you saw the dad looking out the window of his prison cell and at the kids on the other side of the fence. fun!
i also live in a shitty student dorm rn and when they detect you torrenting, they turn off your internet access, and you have to send an email for them to turn it on again, and THEN you have to pay for them going through the trouble of turning your internet access back on. it's like 15 euros, but it's annoying as hell.
