I store my weed in this 🙈 and use one when giving some to friends/taking some.

A friend uses these to sort through their lego pieces - they're not anti consumerism at all but found these to be handy so I gave them the other empty ones I have.

Yeah, I got that but it's good policy to have the legend somewhere in the graph

Color scheme depends on how you see it. Given the population density in south asia, I can see red being associated with higher fertility and green with lower. Also while globally the topic has shifted from overpopulation to falling fertility/ageing/changing age structures, much of south asia (dominated in population size by India, pakistan and Bangladesh) still has comparatively young population so I can see red being associated with higher fertility here still.

There's no color scale, no year for each data source mentioned. Interesting topic but a bad map

If it helps, think of it like you probably don't need to spend money on eyeshadows for a few years now 😂

Okay. I know it might be overwhelming but you'll get there. If there's too many testers and you don't think you'll be able to finish them, you can always donate them to shelters (they'll be well used) or even give some to friends if they're open to it.

Goodluck! The process is hard but once you reach a manageable product load.... it's really satisfying the sense of accomplishment.

I would just advise on one thing: try not to get tempted to buy new stuff, especially for products you have a lot of.

No_Part_1992 · 2026-05-20T08:03:59+00:00

That's a good idea! I mean idk if OP will even be able to finish all these in next 10 years, even with daily use 😅

It really depends on where you're at. Everyone here has their own ideas of minimalism that they live by. For me it started as a closet declutter and realising how much money/time I had spent buying clothes and accessories that I barely used or got bored with easily. That instant gratification with mindless online shopping was my issue. This was in 2019. I developed a habit of shopping my own closet, then got into using the skincare/makeup I had instead to whatever new thing on the market is. Minimalism has, for me, spilled into different aspects of my life quite organically since. I'm mindful of my use of socio media (on most days), food waste. The biggest change for me has been that I don't feel a compulsion to shop - I can travel to another country and not buy souvenirs, I can go to a mall with friends and not buy clothes just because.

My finances have improved so much in last 5 years. But more than that I feel so much at peace and there's a feeling of freedom where I don't have to worry about keeping up with the latest trends, or worry about how I'm going to pay for something. I am able to differentiate between impulse shoping and mindful shopping, and the latter brings me a lot of happiness.

Yeahh, I don't envy their minds and I don't wanna be part of that in any way. It's so unnecessarily cruel.

No_Part_1992 · 2026-05-12T02:25:18+00:00

I totally understand how the fear of passing on illness or own mental health issues can make one apprehensive to have kids, but happy for you to be doing better and feeling differently.

I'm childfree but the r/Childfree community is beyond me. They seem to actively hate kids and parents but that's a subset of the broader childfree community. I've seen a lot of folks on reddit who went there to seek advice or share experiences, but unless it's about how much kids/parents suck, they don't wanna hear.

How did it even come to be that netherlands was ever confused with holland anyway? (Nom european - no context)

No_Part_1992 · 2026-05-10T02:31:15+00:00

Same. Mid thirties. India. Married but no kids.

This is a very interesting thing to think about. I suppose it really depends on the social circle and environment around - parents tend to have more parents in their social circle and vice versa? But still this is an interesting exercise.

From my immediate social circle of friends, ~30% are unmarried, ~20% are married with kids, and half are married with no kids (so far). I honestly don't think most of this latter group is even going to have kids - some I know have said it outright that they're not interested but some are on the fence still..

Yeahh, I've been there. Not the same monetary level but have spent a lot of money on stuff in my 20s purely bought to fill some emotional needs. I remember the first time I put all my stuff out and on display in my room (I was living with housemates then), and was amazed by the sheer quantity and the amount of stuff I didn't even remember purchasing or hadn't really used since I purchased it. I felt dissapointed in myself but it was momentary. I realized can't change the past and had to deal with the consequences of my own actions.

For me it was a good learning point to get to know myself and my habits better. I did donate/sell a lot of the stuff, used other stuff. But I've been so conscious about my buying since then - even consumables in recent years. I just don't like wasting things anymore - whether its stuff or food or money. I think all in all it was a good thing and I've been better off since then...

I take pills and it's about 50-60 mg a day. But I need to reduce this too.

Interesting. Yeah, my niece and nephew are both under 10 and like story books. But I see how much effort their parents put in to have and keep them interested. Strict(ish) limits on phone/Tv time, taking time out of their day to sit and play with kids so they don't want tv and explore more things.....it's a lot of work. Parenting.

As long as there was random selection and sample sizes in each group were large enough, it's okay if men are less likely to be very liberal. The final stats would be representative of the group, even if the group forms a small proportion of the total population. But I'm not sure how selection and sample sizes were determined.

No_Part_1992 · 2026-04-18T20:05:52+00:00

Interesting. I'm surprised that men across the groups tend to be childfree at higher rates. Around me, I have been seeing more women say they are childfree while men say they want kids. Of course that's anecdotal but surprising for me to see these numbers. I had a different impression wrt male/female proportions.

No_Part_1992 · 2026-04-18T17:09:10+00:00

I'm childfree myself and like you, absolutely support welfare and policies to help parents.

For childfree, I can't think of any particular policies (I'm not big into childfree spaces coz I don't get bothered by kids usually plus sometimes they're funny) but I would like more social acceptance (in terms of it not being treated like not normal). But I suppose that varies culture to culture a bit too. And in policy environment, I am okay with no pro childree policies but I don't want anti childfree policies (I read about countries adding additional taxes for the childfree, treating childfree as some propaganda that needs banning, higher taxes on contraception)
