Maybe for some it looks cheap, but I'm running around with a cracked display protection and I aint gonna get a new one before I get a new phone, to get the most use of my money spent.

TIL consumerism (explicitly the department store) was set up as a weapon against the working class, in this episode of @parismarx 's Tech Won't Save Us. This makes so many things clearer.

"Paris Marx is joined by Amanda Mull to discuss the history of consumerism and where ecommerce goes in the next few years as interest rates rise and its market share stalls."

Why I hate . (1.)

Rockpools adjacent to a National Park on beautiful Umina Beach and some idiot leaves a plastic milkshake container right in the rocks. This wasn't washed up by the tide; this still had milkshake in it, so it was placed there by some uncaring hand. Why do some people have such little respect for the wonders of nature?

(And yes, I "disposed" of it; i.e. sent it out of sight towards landfill. How many millions of these plastic containers are littering the earth? We can do better than this, I think.)

Do you want to know how peace and freedom feels like?

Stop consuming mainstream media and only search for information on alternate platforms when you need to. Don't follow VIPs, politicians or alike.

You will soon begin to wonder why you didnt do this earlier.

Happy birthday to my first book baby! "Clutter: An Untidy History" made its debut on 9/1/20. Three years and three editions later, it's earned out its advance and is still finding readers. I hope it won't be an only child too much longer, but I sure am grateful for it. Thank you to everyone who's bought, borrowed, read, listened to, shared, posted about, or otherwise supported it (and its author). I heart all of you.

"Where tourism was once a way to broaden our horizons and gain a deeper understanding of other cultures, social media and the global economy have changed that. The point is no longer just to consume new experiences — it’s also to be able to show that consumption to followers back home."

I find myself more focused on individual and communal state of being these days. It takes effort to resist consumer states of being in a culture which is dominated by them. There are alternatives which need more development.

Cool art.

But, these are human-made structures and quite ephemeral ... if we want them to be and do something about it.

I have no interest in clothing stores because almost all of them are generic. I don’t sense any uniqueness after a glance at the clothes in those stores. It’s just not worth my attention. Maybe it’s just me idk.

Everything, Everywhere, All at Once to include producing and consuming less.

are the worst because they demand and need (e.g. planned obsolescence), then recklessly to meet that artificially inflated "need" for goods.

We must decrease our individual while also forcing to stop polluting.

Ending and our rampant consumption are both required, and more.

I have somehow managed to find myself in Kidzania in London (don’t ask!) and this place is a dystopia of epic proportions.

Premise: Human caused has a high probability of causing a system wide ecological collapse, therefore cultural collapse, because the average human enjoys doing \ taking part in activities that pollute the air (e.g., vehicles, BBQs, campfires, eating meat, etc)

The fundamental of feeling good about sitting around a campfire is a stone age brain behaviours

Environmentally maladapted, on average

The concept of is not just another buzzword, but a driving force behind consumer choices and investor decisions. (Exactly how fast is fast fashion?)
