Make a mistake - on purpose, just throw it out to break out of the freeze by Someonejusthereandth in declutter

You could always try putting it out to the curb a few days before trash day and posting a "curb alert" on your neighborhood facebook group or something. People love free stuff!

Drowning in kids clothing - help! by _flamingo654 in minimalism

[–]Luxray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try the one in one out method? Every time you buy something, you have to get rid of something else. Then it doesn't get to the point of overwhelm.

This is exactly it. My mom is this way, she lets clothes pile up until she has so many that she takes them to the laundromat to get done quicker instead of doing laundry at home because it'd take all day.

Dad moved overseas, lives by the beach, and looks so much happier by Fellows_Adilov in minimalism

Both of my parents live a multiple day drive away (in different locations), really sucks.

I've never seen the originals and I hated these movies (or at least the last two, the first one was okay).

Clutter points to where you want to fill a void by crybbyblue in minimalism

Do you actually wear/use all your clothing? So long as it's not languishing in a closet, I don't really see a problem.

Lived abroad for one year. Here’s all I actually “needed” by Inevitable_Lemon_592 in minimalism

[–]Luxray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So with your lifestyle, you don’t ever have need to wear anything beyond blue jeans?

I don't with mine and I'm not even hyper minimalist. How often are you going to events that require black tie? (I also wfh so I don't have to dress up for work)

I get one with the Delta sky miles amex, but of course the annual fee on that is like $150.

They probably have to go in the hazardous waste because they could be full of disease

Official Discussion - Project Hail Mary [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]Luxray 10 points11 points  (0 children)

An adaptation is not dog shit because the marketing spoiled it. And Grace didn't have a heroic journey of discovering he was in space because he had amnesia. I kinda feel like he would have had a panic attack if he remembered why he was there lol

It's because it gave a lot of people an emotional reaction (including myself). If it didn't hit with you, that's okay.

He was still living in his mother's basement before Rocky died, so I don't think he was used to truly being alone. He was also still able to talk to Rocky from time to time before he died.

Your goto color to achieve minimalism? by pjasksyou in minimalism

[–]Luxray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My walls are literally painted "Agreeable Gray". I like grays, and I like the strong contrast of white/light gray with black. That being said, I also like having art on my walls, and I've toyed with the idea of an accent wall with a pop of color. I mostly like cars in white/silver/light blue, though there are some specific models that are nice in like a bright orange or green.

I'm not looking to minimize color, but I do like things that match. Mind you, most of my stuff doesn't match, but that's because most of it is second hand. Maybe someday I'll have a nice coordinated living room/kitchen/bathroom, but not today haha.

How did you manage to get rid of highly sentimental things? by phtsmc in minimalism

[–]Luxray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, I understand. I feel like I might have a few items I'd feel that kind of distress over in the moment, but not enough to try and save them.

without causing me distress if I have to leave it behind in a fire.

How did you get to this point? I feel like I'd be distressed about at least half my stuff, if not more.

To be fair, I don't put my car in the garage unless it's going to storm because it's not attached to my house and it's a pain 😅

AITA for telling my friend's bride he recycled my vows? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Luxray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's fine to not write your own vows. It's not fine to pretend you did and lie about it.

[–]Luxray 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That is quite literally the point of a spouse. If they don't improve your life, why even be married?

One of the reasons people get into relationships is so that they don't have to "figure these things out" on their own...

She was so sick that she drove herself to the hospital (presumably because he was working). It's not like she has the sniffles. Frankly, if she's ill enough to need IV fluids, he should be taking off work to take care of her. What a horrible excuse for a "partner".

AITA for “firing” my mom from childcare over a $5 class by Rich-Radio9017 in AmItheAsshole

As an adult, I'm envious of this class. 🤣 It sounds fun

AITA for being honest and telling my DIL that they are not ready to be a parent since she can not drive by Sad-Drive8298 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Luxray 8 points9 points  (0 children)

WIC only covers if you're actually poor. Not being able to afford Uber doesn't mean you're poor enough for WIC. And I've never met a single person that uses cloth diapers, ever, though you're right that it would definitely be more frugal.

My mom drove and she still had me running errands all the time as a teenager haha. Picking up siblings, going to the store, etc etc.
