People die from alcohol abuse. A lot of people. It’s not fair to compare it. It really hurts.

Physical Therapists should not be lumped into that group at all.

The phrase “free is never free” already acknowledges that the service does not require payment (free), but it implies that you are used as a method of making money.

It’s just a phrase to keep people aware.

It just seems that way because of the shadow on the wrinkles of the glove. It’s a totally genuine photograph. Why would someone edit it to give Santa 6 fingers?

For all y’all that hate candy corn. Try it mixed with salted peanuts. It blows everyone away when I show them.

Personally, I never understood the vitriol for candy corn, but I get that it’s a bit bland.

I choose to believe you spelled ‘but’ that way intentionally

He’s gonna stick it to the man!

What is this holo-deck they speak of?

People use downvotes to disagree instead of participating in the conversation.

I think the disagreement comes down to the difference between being a “minimalist” and the “minimalism” form of aesthetics. I’m speaking towards the latter, which is a style that is perpetuated via social media. While being a minimalist means you have a goal of using or acquiring less. A goal like that does not have a hard line of what is and isn’t ‘minimalism’ in that sense. While “minimalism” as an aesthetic form of design has to portray a look and feel that doesn’t care about what you need.

Also, what’s wrong with renting or borrowing tools? 🤦

Because renting can be more costly, and borrowing may not even be an option.

I didn’t say that it was necessarily, but it does encourage that under many normal circumstances.

When you have a project that you are not equipped to handle, you need to acquire more things. Those things need to be stored somewhere or be discarded. In order to maintain minimalism how does one store more things? You can’t. It then needs to be discarded.

The alternative would be to rent those things or hire someone, but that is often far more costly. Particularly if that need comes up again in the future.

I had to fix some drywall in my house. I bought the resources necessary to do that. Now what do I do with them? I store them. That is the antithesis of minimalism. My only alternative would have been to hire someone else to fix it, or throw the tools and remaining drywall away. Hiring someone would have been far more costly, and throwing away the stuff I bought would be a waste particularly considering things happen and I may need to fix drywall again in the future.

This is just one small example out of many things that can happen that would require someone to acquire more things. How is minimalism compatible with that?

Obsession over minimalism has always frustrated me. Minimalism is for people with lots of disposable cash and encourages buying things for single use or very short term use and discarding them.

Need something done but don’t have the tools to do it? You either buy the tools and then get rid of them after the project is done or you hire someone to do it for you. That is not something you can afford to do if you don’t have plenty of expendable money.

To me, it feels like how people fawn over ridiculously lavish things like mansions and yachts.
