It's easy, throw everything out. I used to hoard but now I find getting rid of stuff to be pretty liberating.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑03 Oct 2019, 11:44amI'd be able to get used to that, but that's a gasp given what I'm used to now.

Re: Late stage capitalism
Easier when you don't have the room. When you have the room, the inclination is to fill in spaces. I can, with some justification, blame The Boss. When we were house hunting, my tendencies were to something smaller, but this was exactly what she wanted, and I do quite like our home.BostonBeaneater wrote: ↑03 Oct 2019, 12:44pmIt's easy, throw everything out.

Re: Late stage capitalism
i haven't lived in a space with more than 900 square feet since I left my parents back in the day. I hold on to very little crap except my (extremely large) music collection. I always manage to figure out how to keep that around (and grow it)...

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Whereas I've managed to shrink my music collection (physically). Books, on the other hand, keep growing despite my preference for eBooks.

Re: Late stage capitalism
Has a band with a rebel image every seen that cred evaporate as quickly when they went after Napster? They've never recovered from that, either.Kory wrote: ↑03 Oct 2019, 8:44pmPsh tell that to MetallicaDr. Medulla wrote: ↑03 Oct 2019, 6:08pmI'm a rebel who pirates music and books.

Re: Late stage capitalism
Depends, I suppose, on your standard for rebel, but I'd say up to the Black Album they had it. Even the success of "Sandman" was treated as some kind of victory over bland chart music rather than a sell-out of any kind. But suing Napster placed them solely on the side of commerce vs. fans.JennyB wrote: ↑04 Oct 2019, 9:57amHave they ever really had a rebel image?
