Thank you. I think preachy minimalism is the #1 reason i could have, and all of us could have be put off the idea. It doesn’t have to be a religion. Just a set of preferences to focus on simpler things. That’s all it has to be.

YES! exactly. But that’s also half my point: Lidl, C&A, H&M, Decathlon, waikiki, underarmour, sinsay, salomon… thats already a lot of places we need to either digitally or physically go to browse through.

If you think about it, most minimalists either

1. hate shopping and would love a one stop shop for their needs. currently you end up visiting more places because you know exactly what simple things you want, than some shopaholic who will just buy whatever is at hand wherever they randomly find themselves shopping and wear it for a while. (here the minimalist hates the way he has to spend his time)

2. are addicted to shopping and is their main struggle trying to become minimalistic - and browsing 10 shops instead of 3 like they used to - which will only make it harder for them to step away. (here the striving minimalist will hate the way they feel because they’re basically investing even more time in shopping than they used to)

i found black shirts are actually harder to maintain than white ones. a good spot remover can easily save a white one, whereas a black one needs careful washing on 30 degrees, no heat drying to not lose color, no sun drying to not bleach etc. Besides if you pair black pants with black shirts, one will be darker than the other, and look washed out and old in comparison. whereas, if you have a white shirt and black jeans that might or might not be a bit discolored, the contrast will make them look a lot darker and therefore newer.

i like decathlon too tbh. my only gripe is sometimes its a bit too primary colors for my taste. i like muted colors.

btw h&m has very good unbranded undies that last the most if you take care of them well (out of what i had so far)

on waikiki and pepco, i have encountered quite a few quality issues a few years back and stopped trying. might give them another shot - but see, we’re already discussing 6 stores, each with SOME simple stuff, and i dont like to keep seeking out those few items that are simple and good.

(also Lidl but you gotta always keep an eye out there)

Plex. My man!

It’s great, I bought ad free just for your efforts. But 2 problems so far:

1. error on uploading any image of any dimensions in any sublemmy.

2. can’t see the videos, not in preview Mode, nor in full-screen Mode.

What can i/we do?

Nope. Made the larger side 200px, still error. (memes@lemmy.ml)

I can trial and error smaller files. Will get back to you.

I’ve stopped watching news because there’s nothing I can do about them.

They very likely taste like chicken. Chicken are very closely related to dinosaurs and so are crocodiles. Crocodile/alligator meat also allegedly tastes very similarly to chicken.

It’s like buying from a supermarket and getting pretty much everything in one stop (most of it being mediocre) VS getting local, yummy, Bio, more expensive products from 5 local small shops.

And reddit still has a long way down. Look at Facebook, it never died, it just lost most young users and it grew stale with conspiracy theories, blind hatred and fake news.

I’d love to see day by day numbers on a chart of how many joined

Hello fellow redditors and especially hello dear lemm…ings? What do we call ourselves when we move here? I hope enough people bleed over to here to populate the site so that we have an abundance of content!

I’m just off the boat. Deleted the boost for reddit, deleted my posts, deleted my account.

I’m looking forward to this growth equally as much as I am looking forward to the downfall of reddit.
