90% of people stop buying just before they find the thing that fills the void

What if this is what i ordered?

I bet you feel pretty silly right about now

Beware the Diderot effect!

Have you tried a bigger thing?

I don't buy things because I want to buy things. I buy things because I want the things.

If I could just produce them out of thin air I'd be absolutely fine with that. I do not understand people who are obsessed with the actual act of purchasing.

Oh well, I guess I'll have to try accumulating power to fill my inner void.

Yeah but if I keep doing it eventually I'll probably win it big. That's what my trustworthy local gambling addict told me

Basically the only things I buy, besides bare essentials, are books and tools. They aren't supposed to fill the void, they're supposed to help me learn things and make things. Actually, on second thought, learning things and making things fills the void pretty well.

If the void is buying things, then you need to ask questions to yourself and seek assistance.

My feet have genuinely never felt better after a twelve than in those thigh high compression stockings.

I'll never forget taking delivery of a new HTC Vario back in 2007. I was super hyped from the moment I ordered it until approximately 10 minutes after I set it up, at which point I realised that I wanted a cool little computer / phone, but had no actual use for it. And ultimately that was a shitty device in all directions.
