Hhffggshn,

I’m fascinated by extreme minimalism, but not sure it’s for me. I’ll watch these as inspiration, tho.

Hhffggshn,

Is it a stray?

Hhffggshn,

Same here. Hoping infinity makes it, but Lemmy is here to hold me.

Hhffggshn,

Ouch, that's sad.

Hhffggshn,

I am an Italian living in America, so I know what you mean. But Italians can definitely throw no stones about crazy politicians getting elected.

Hhffggshn,

Also the way primaries work... Such low participation that only the radical voters turn out.

Hhffggshn,

I believe in most Democrat state primaries, delegates are apportioned based on the percentage of vote. On the Republican side, most state GOP primaries are Winner Takes all.

Even so, the Democratic "No change!" candidate always wins.

Hhffggshn,

My parents aren't serious hoarders, but they had way too much stuff when I was a child. They don't keep trash and don't pick up stuff off of the street, but they own a lot of furniture, and my father could never throw out a newspaper article that he thought might be useful someday. They lived in a gigantic house, which my mother is still in. It is totally full, but it doesn't have goat trails or anything like that. Still, my mother has like eight sets of dishes, six or seven sofas, five dining room tables.

I grew up with similar bad habits, thinking that more was better. I lived in a pretty small apartment with my then husband, and we had stuff everywhere. I collected books, vinyl albums, house plants, so many different things.

I don't know what exactly flipped the switch in my head. I think it was watching that old TV show, Clean Sweep, where they clear out two rooms of a cluttered house. Peter Walsh was the organizer and declutter expert on the show. I started reading his books. I suddenly realized that I had so much stuff, I had videotapes in the kitchen and cookbooks in the bathroom. It was crazy.

I started by putting things in their proper rooms. All videotapes and albums had to fit in the living room, where the stereo and TV were. All books had to fit on the hallway bookshelves. I got rid of anything that had foxing or was not in good condition. And gradually I started to see that my mind was much clearer when I had much less stuff.

My challenge now is to not buy. I still feel that I have way too much stuff. Like my parents, I have room for it. But I would prefer to have empty space.

Another challenge is that my partner is not fully on board with me getting rid of things. We don't live together, which makes it a little bit easier. The next time he goes out of town, I am going to clean crap off of high shelves and out of my closets. I just like having empty space.

Hhffggshn,

I'm hoping we can make this the new community. It's one of the only R subs I miss.

Hhffggshn,

I don't mind the aesthetic posts when the sub is new and small, but eventually I would like to read more about people living with less junk.

Hhffggshn,

Definitely when Bender eats one fat free potato chip and a pile of bricks fall out his ass. Fry never comments on it.

Olestra was a fat-free "oil" manufacturers were using in potato chips, and there was a bunch of press about it causing diarrhea.

Hhffggshn,

Looks happy to have eyes shaded!

Hhffggshn,

I'm shocked by the content I've seen over there. I know quite a few reddit users IRL and none of them support what spez is doing. I think you are right about AI being involved in some if the posts.

Hhffggshn,

I joined Lemmy.click because the bigger instances were having timeouts when I tried to sign up. I see those issues have been resolved now, but I like the idea of keeping other instances populated.

Hhffggshn,

She has a stomach like cast iron, and wanted greasy fried food.

The weird part is, she's from Italy and is a big food snob, but when she comes to the US she wants to eat gross food.

Hhffggshn,

Its tough. I take massive amounts of meds.

If my mother wasn't 93 and acting like a toddler, I'd have left her there alone.

Hhffggshn,

It was in Palm Springs, California. I think Fantasy Point?

Hhffggshn,

Bowlero set the style. Now they all look them.

Hhffggshn,

Thanks for responding. That is how I was searching, but there was a problem with the indexing across instances.

Hhffggshn,

I wish someone would start a minimalism community.
