This absolutely justifies my yellow fever. Reality is biased for us chads

why are white women such bawds? i'm white too but goddamn
I guess it's a step in the right direction. It will only work if you keep moving and not stop at the show.
I thought this show was cancelled when white women couldn't recover from this mogging

ok but will tidying up help make you more productive or will you just be a lazy shitter with a tidy home?
I never understood the minimalism meme. Rooms full of shit that matters to you in some way (no matter how small) should make the place feel personal and homely, not stressful. The key is just to buy quality shit you intend to keep long-term and to keep it organised.
>inb4 "This doesn't go against Kondo's teachings, she says to keep things that bring you joy"
Her methodology is really flawed though, she asks to judge items individually, but a lot of the time it's the sum of the items that brings joy, not the individual items. Take for example a personal library full wall-to-wall with books or a country-style kitchen like picrel. I won't necessarily find joy in each individual book, and I don't feel any joy towards kitchen implements (especially niche ones that I might not even use), but living in spaces like that definitely would feel good to me.
To me both paths are valid when done correctly:
Minimalism done right:
>It's a lifestyle choice you follow because you agree with it philisophically. You keep shit to a bare-minimum, saving time and money and curing consumerism-addiction.
Cosy done right:
>You make a long-term plan what sort of space you want to create, with specific items in mind, and work towards that with as little deviation as possible. You prioritise long-lasting, quality items that will not only save you money in the long-run, but also increase in sentimental value.
Minimalism done wrong:
>You're only doing it because it's trendy or because you feel it might impress people. You consume just as much if not more, just with e-items (or e-subscriptions) instead and even worse you throw out perfectly good shit out just to replace them with a minimalist-aesthetic alternative.
Cosy done wrong:
>Little-to-no long-term plan. Just buying random shit that takes your fancy at any given time. It's a directionless addiction and you never feel fulfilled. A lot of the things you buy have no long-term value and you just hoard them because you're too lazy to throw them away or too scared to admit it was a waste of money.
Correct. The shit I had to deal with when I moved 3000 miles sucked ass.
my parents fit that last category. I've tried helping them and even cleared a ton of space in their garage. they just filled it up again with more shit. no wonder I'm so keen on living minimalistically
Insightful. “Minimalism Done Wrong” reminds me of how a Tesla needs an ugly touchscreen on the dashboard, because they got rid of necessary buttons and knobs (heat/AC controls, the handle on the goddamn glovebox, etc), because Elon fell for the “Minimalism = Futuristic” meme and didn’t want anything at all on his dashboard (which begs the question of why you’d have one in the first place).
That's a great way of describing it
Thanks anon
Actually what triggered it was reading the manga after an anon on here recommended it. It was pretty entertaining, but it made me reflect on how cluttered my living space is. I'll have to watch the tv show sometime
>a lot of the time it's the sum of the items that brings joy, not the individual items
This. Traditional cottages/farmhouses are usually seen as stereotypically comfy yet the aesthetic consists of small spaces full of old clutter which by minimalist-logic should be a cause for concern. Having a study room like picrel for example might be stress-inducing to some, but to others it'd be much more comfortable than a spacious minimalist apartment.
rooms like that are comfy if you're wealthy and pay other people to clean it. if you've ever had to clean all that shit yourself, it becomes anything but comfortable.
You're assuming everyone has the same standards of cleanliness as you. People who like spaces like that probably think that so long as they keep themselves clean it's fine to just do a little dusting every so often and the only regular maintenance required would be getting rid of things that spoil (i.e food and drink). I can't speak for others but I find my cluttered study which I rarely clean far comfier than my living room that's tidy, clean and spacious (I keep it that way just for the sake of guests).
It doesn't need to be "fixed" though, it's actually a preferable look to many people, that's my point. Whilst spaces like that might look like random crap to you it's probably got some sort of organisation to it that only the owner knows. For example maybe one pile of books are favourites, another pile is for references, another pile is for photo albums, another pile for writing books (diaries, journals, budgeting, address books), another pile is for the next 5 books he wants to read, another pile is for the last 5 books he has read, another pile is for music books and so on.
It's completely unnecessary to be that way of course but that's just what's most comfortable for some people and I don't get why some people assume that everyone would be happier in a more minimalist and tidy space. Some people thrive in cluttered spaces. I'm not saying that everyone who has cluttered spaces have it that way out of personal preference, but many do and I feel it's important to point that out because some people are getting fooled into making life worse for themselves due to being taught tidyness and minimalism is a universal preference instead of an individual one.
>it's actually a preferable look to many people,
no, people just put up with it because they know even if they clean and organize it they lack the ability to keep it straightened up so it just stays in a state of disarray
Why are you so sure your opinion is fact?
Bringing joy is a high bar to meet when talking about individual items though. A room full of things that might not bring me joy individually, could bring joy when put together because they create a pleasing aesthetic or they're a collection that feels more fulfilling the more it grows.
Why are you so sure your opinion is fact?
I don't think. I use words like "I think", "to me", "some people", "probably" etc because I don't presume to speak for everyone.
First sentence was supposed to just be "I don't". It's late forgive the typo.
So?
What do you mean so? You accused me of doing something and then I told you why you were wrong to do so.
Ok
I don't like minimalism but that room is just a mess
It's a pretty simple fix too. Just clear the superfluous stuff off the furniture and put the books in the bookshelf properly instead of flopping them on top of the other books.
People with rooms like that never keep them organized though, there's just piles of shit everywhere. A lot of professors have homes with studies/dens that look exactly like that
rooms comfy feels lived in its almost designed to look messy nothing even has dust on it it's cleaned every day
If you are a cutting edge professional your office should look like this. Books aren't like tools in a garage, if you are going to be using them every day better to have them out.
>Books aren't like tools in a garage, if you are going to be using them every day better to have them out.
Mechanics put the tools they use every day back in their toolbox
mechanics aren't professsionals. Having stacks of leather bound books lying around is different from having greasy tools lying around.
>mechanics aren't professsionals
Yes they are
this thread get more and more moronic as it go on
>Scruton's empty chair
It's like pottery.

This doesn't go against Kondo's teachings, she says to keep things that bring you joy
remember to show your appreciation for your clothes and cum all over them.

you Marie kondo'd all our earthly possessions
now we are homeress
i want to stuff her in my luggage and feed her airplane peanuts through a two inch opening in the zipper then stick my dick in there so she can have dessert
>This-a one does-u not sparko joyu!
>*cuts it off with concealed boxcutter*
I threw out and organized some stuff. I am still doing it. My living quarters is pushing hoarder tier. I must stop this madness.
are you hoarding trash or actual stuff?
Stuff. I buy too many toys and cards like a good consumer manchild. I am learning to cut back and to throw away stuff, while only keeping the stuff I really, really like.
sounds healthy, I wish you good luck
Useless little shit.
>4’7”
I want her feet in my mouth
tiny asian feet in my mouth is my life's dream, and one day my life's work
It’s pretty fantastic but only happened that one time.
jesus fricking christ imagine holding her little nip hips in your hands and pile driving her cervix with your western euro penis, bros
it's not fair
It’s just Jordan Peterson for girls.
Or, Jordan Peterson is just Marie Kondo for boys.
I’d rather watch Marie though, she a cute
Not really, just read her book Sparking Joy because the netflix show is more about pointless emotional drama. Her folding tips are great though but you should develop your own system of clearing shit out and storing stuff especially stationary which she doesn't talk about in detail.
i'd rather have a korean wife
jap women are just as b***hy as western women, and there's a 1 in 5 chance she's done jav
I see an angry worst korean has joined the chat
You do realize that even the malnourished north koreans are like half a foot taller than her right? She has objectively shit genes.
Koreans are literally the worst on the entire continent. Also
>masking up toddlers
Fricking child abuse.
i WILL live in a cluttered deathtrap
I watched it but it didn't help because her "method" is just throw out anything you haven't touched in two weeks.
>gets infected the next time you have a cut because no medical supplies
>has a super shitty time they next need a little boost because no chocolate *just a piece u fat shits*
>gets super cold in winter
ok ok its a shit plan
close but no cigar
>4'7"
Even the bagel midget dwarfs her holy shit. I know the pedos this is some dream come true but if you ever see her in a bathing suit she has horrible midget proportions
Lads I've been a hoarder my whole life. I just bought a house. Outside of hiring a maid what can I do to make sure I don't fall into the same pratfalls?
Get a wife in Japan
I read the book. Don't agree with a number of things, but it did have some good tips. It also encouraged me to keep trying to tidy up my place and even in helping family.
My only problem with this show is that she doesnt show her mosaic
Yeah man. Watching more TV is gonna help you sort your shit out, definitely, great idea.
