looks like a mini fridge, there is a soda can in there.

My closet has 30 items tops out of which about 4 werent bought used
This shit is nothing
Diogenes was a true example of detachment from materialism

Where did you get the idea that minimal meant "a bit less than others"?

I wish I was a lot less attached to materialism. I eat basic cheap as fuck foods (rice and beans basically every day), buy clothes used and dirt cheap and only keep enough outfits for a week which I rarely even use thanks to not ever going anywhere and being generally a disgusting person (which saves water/bills not doing laundry or taking showers :3) My computer's over a decade old, bought used, my phone's at least half a decade old. Unfortunately I require a lot of stimulation to mentally cope (i.e. video games, television, social media). I try meditation once or more times a day to attempt breaking off the addiction to it but it never seems to work out for very long. I used to collect books but now I've stopped and instead started to seriously study only a few and commit them to memory. I get around town on a cheap road bike with some bags I recently bought so I can contribute less to the cost of gasoline and pollution, as well as the automotive and oil industries. The shitty hypocrite part is I live off my family (because I'm NEET disabled, mentally fucked and privileged) who are also massive pack rats and I indirectly contribute to their consumerism by benefiting from it and unless I an hero there's not much I can do about it.

tl;dr yeah but i wish i was better

I have a old PC and monitor, I sleep on foam

>have a busted oneplus one phone that still does the job
>a 6 year old desktop computer that can still run the games I want to play
>20 piece of clothing at best
>a bus pass
>minimum amount of furniture
>survival necessities

This is all I need.

maybe my bedroom wasn't the best example to post, i swear my living room, rec room, kitchen and garden are even more minimal.

Even just the items I need for self-care and health reasons are a lot of crap.
Well, everything I own can fit into one SUV including all the furniture, so it isn't bad. If I own too many things it stresses me.
>try to live in a barrel and wear a dirty toga
>get arrested
Fuck modernity wtf.
Also a cyclist. Not owning a cage is so more free and unstressful, that's like 10 bills and concerns off my shoulders. I washed and lubed my bike the other day and it was so fun and destressing. My chain looks brand new now, everything is so clean and shiny. I'm bad at mechanical stuff though. But bikes are nice. No worries about parking restrictions or bills or laws or shit. And cars need like 500 items/tools to maintain them. Bikes are simpler.

Being inseparably attached to your fame and relevance is a form of materialism

You guys seem to be confusing being frugal with minimalism.

Agreed, they're great. I live in a really hilly area so it can be a challenge and drivers here are genuinely scary fucking assholes even when you're doing everything right but I still like it.

No, I embrace it because a lone wolf incel must keep himself busy to have something to do in life.

Minimalism is not necessarily frugal, but minimalism is always more frugal than a shopping binge every weekend. Frugal is not necessarily minimalism, but not buying crap tends to lead towards minimalism.
I pay money for quality. But because I'm a minimalist-ish-al-ic I tend to buy less, and overall spend less than the average person, thus I'm also frugal.
I only own one plate. For example.

Yes, if you mean materialism as in being concerned about owning things for status purposes more than anything else. In fact I look down on people who feel the need to own stuff to feel happy. We also produce so much stuff which is completely pointless and spend resources on absolute trash just to compete with eachother, it's frustrating.

this caption is all psychobabble bull shit the whole purpose of that picture is to show off her ugly tits

>has furniture
fuck off with your luxury.
i sleep on a blanket and use an ancient laptop i found in a dumpster.
no pics because i dont have a camera because i'm not mr. moneybags like you are.

>I only own one plate.
excessively minimalistic. Having 3-4 plates is almost mandatory to eat anything that isn't just trash food all day long.

but what kind of kitty litter does she use tho
asking for a friend

>no pics because i dont have a camera because i'm not mr. moneybags like you are.

If being frugal isn't a choice, you haven't really made a decision to live minimalistic.

why does your food span more than one plate fatty

How do you detach yourself from that which you live in?

A fish might as well attempt to detach itself from water.

I'll probably be killed by a cage one day. I've had a few close calls, a few overly agressive assholes screaming at me and being retarded, cagers never know the law but pretend they do, they automatically look down on you even if you're riding on a $2,000 carbon. I'd honestly like to fucking shoot them all. It's ridiculous that some asshole with shit for brains and a chip on his shoulder is allowed to come inches (less) from killing you and get away scott free and the police don't give a fucking shit. Cameras all over cops all over but you need them for once and suddenly no one can do anything.
I got cut off by a fucking retard cunt on a moped the other day. Just. Just, god I'm just so angry all of the time. If I had a gun I would shoot these cunts and go to jail. Every week, every fucking week. I don't know why literal retards are allowed to drive cages at all. It's a device more than capable of killing someone. Guns are banned but cages are honkey-dory because laziness and convenience? Great sound moral system, right. No contradictions there. Cages and guns should be treated exactly the same because a cage is as lethal as a gun. But any fucking tard can buy a cage and swerve it around downtown where human beings are trying to walk/bike inches away from them, and it's all just fine and dandy.
Some people just really need a bikelock to the face to learn them some manners. Fuck the pigs, fuck cagers, drop the bombs kim jong il idgaf glass us already.
Every fucking week some idiot tries to murder me. I'm good but how good do I have to be? It shouldn't be like this.

choosing to not have a camera because i do not have a need for one is a choice made out of both practicality and frugality.
the moneybags bit is implying that some people have a camera because they have enough money to not worry about whether they have a use for a camera.

>use plate
>wash plate
>use plate next meal
???

you put into words what I've been thinking

Because I don't like mixing it all together into a brown slop?
see above.

I like to answer yes I am, but just the fact that I'm phoneposting from a Pixel 2 XL probably fucks the entire point up. Nonetheless I bought this phone cause it handles perfectly the most basic things a smartphone should do, like performance, battery and camera. Overall I like to keep it pretty minimal, but going on good quality products on the few things I actually take care of.

Oh wow, that's scary as hell dude lol. If it weren't necessary for infrastructure pretty much everywhere outside the cities nowadays I'd say it was more logical to ban cars than guns. At least guns don't destroy the planet when they aren't being used to deliberately murder people. Much more likely is getting more bike lanes and fuck I wish we had bike lanes where I live but they're only in the city and even then they aren't everywhere.

also what about having friends over to eat? but i guess user doesn't so no worries.

No, and I don't let it bother me.
Me > you

>not eating food one at a time
oh wow look at mr. moneybags over here

>claims to be minimalist and has breast implants

I too am a simple man. Here is a picture of my home. As you can see, I only deal with the bare necessities of life.

>Because I don't like mixing it all together into a brown slop?
i frequently eat several things off the same plate during the same meal, when they're on the same plate at the same time, without mixing anything together.
maybe your food just runs together because it's brown slop already?

I never use the "furniture"

My phone which has no credit and never has was a gift from years ago.... I took pic on phone.,

It's like, does anyone go magdumping in residential areas for fun? No. But a cage swinging through at 50 mph is okay? It's always think of the chilluns, the chilluns, ban guns. Well cages kill orders of magnitude more people, including innocent children, than guns ever have, and most gun deaths are nigger on nigger anyway. Cages kill indiscriminantly, completely innocent people. If my neighbor has a gun, if some guy on the street is CC, I never know. But a cage and oh it's a matter of time before it nearly hits and kills you. I want to strangle libshits too, because they harp on and on about banning guns when guns kill like 5 actual innocent people a year, mostly just gangsters and darwin award winners. Meanwhile tens of thousands of people in america get hit by a car every fucking year and not a peep about it. I'm very angry.
Even bike lanes don't solve it because cagers use the bike lane as a turn lane, or cross it back and forth without looking for cyclists, or it's in the door zone. It's still a deathtrap because it's surrounded by retards in cages.
>destroy the planet
Depending on who you shoot guns are positively pro-environment.

ITT: anons dick measuring about how "minimalist" they are

>has furniture
>doesn't use it
tell me more about how much of a frugal minimalist you are

taking the b8 but this isn't minimal. it's neat and tidy. if it was minimal you'd get rid of the tv, two of the monitors, leave the mattress on the floor, get rid of a dresser, get a smaller desk

thanks for these posts user

Mikoto a cute

well I sleep on teh foam and sit on a chair on my pc all day.

You probably sleep on a matteress you rich fag

Really makes you think.

comfy room user

it's gay to be proud of not having much. its also gay to be proud of having a lot. everyone is so fucking gay. i'm tired of this ego-feeding internet horseshit whether its rich kids on insta showing off their shit or some pseudospiritual cunt bragging about her antimaterialism. faggots.

You can find all this rage and more on /n/ -- a board of peace.

demeaning people for being proud is pretty much the exact same self-aggrandizing behavior, you're almost there tho

holy shit user, links to items?

>i only own the things i can not live without
m8 you have 3 monitors, a big tv, huge speakers, i think a minifridge?, a table in your room, a footstool by your pc, 3 lamps 2 of which are the same, 2 dressers + a bookstand.
you're pretty much the same distance from minimalism as the roastie from OP

i'm sorry you're feelings were ironically not-hurt. or not sorry. i can't tell.
either way, why do you need a list of shit for your living space? why don't you get things that you would like to live with? if you don't know what those things are, learn. look.

related: if you think you can't cook in a mechanical sense, learn how heat and utensils and shit work. if you think you can't cook cause you don't know what to put together, then learn about flavors and learn what you like.

anyone remember this guy?

>minifridge
not only a minifridge, but one that seemingly only has one can of something in it.
if it's not a can of bleach, it should be.

No. I won't leave my car, laptop, and what ever history I have. Will I rapidly consume and buy and buy more items? No, but there are certain things I am not willing to let go.

i am laughing my ass off already

I'm minimalist. I have a micropenis.

>you're almost there
i'm not going anywhere, though

how comfy are these foam things? I feel like I could almost sleep on a floor but need a bit of support, this might be just the ticket. Most mattresses are too soft for me, so my interest is not for minimalism reasons.

im materialistic when it comes to clothes, minimalism can be great for other areas in life. but boring in others

nice and clean but not minimalist

Officially it's meant to cool wine bottles.

Materialism isn't inherently bad. People who flow from one extreme to another are being dishonest with themselves. It's all about their ego, and it goes both ways. Humans are material in the foundational sense. It would be madness to suggest that the ideal is non-material as it would be to suggest that we shed our foundation.

I enjoy buying things with practical uses from businesses with ethical practices that I want to support.

Yeah, really detached.
That's not exactly minimalist but it's comfy nonetheless.

wow buddy you use deodorant
I rub piss all over myself and haven't cleaned my bathroom in a year

Pretty much everything, this, doing charity, diet, etc. isn't meant seriously by these people if they post it on social media. They just want those attention points.

No. I'm extremely materialistic. I'm just picky about what I'm attached to.

I heavily criticize it, though I would not say I am detached. I believe it was one of the main killers of western civilization. It has culled European and American peoples to the point of being no different than a bunch of inert retards.
