That does not sound no nonsense to me.

    Okay, so I'm getting rid of my mattress, most of my furniture, most of my electronics, etc.

    I think the idea behind this idea is good: If you're trying to get rid of stuff, only keep things that you would expend a bit of effort for.

    However, I think they're wildly underestimating how many items will be destroyed or irreversably ruined in some way by poop.

    I think it's probably better to amend it to, "if it was covered in poop would you get rid of it and not replace it?"

    I'm too poor to replace the things that for covered, so this still doesn't work.

    Well, work with the basis of the question being that you could afford to replace it.

    They said when decluttering. Most of those things aren't in question when you're specifically decluttering. No one looks at their mess and thinks "maybe getting rid of my mattress, couch, phone and TV would make things cleaner".

    The one I've heard is, if you spilled a glass of red wine on it, how hard would you work to clean/fix it? It's more in the vein of decluttering as opposed to replacing furniture. So obv your couch and TV are exceptions

    I love that bitch but the upper middle class people on her Netflix show was big yikes.

    Obviously I felt sad for the one with the dead husband - I'm not a monster

    I've now thrown out all my toothbrushes and toilet paper. My fridge and pantry have been emptied entirely, and the bookshelf has been purged. Maybe this wasn't the best approach.

    Time to throw away all the food.

    So whether or not something should be kept depends on how easy it is to clean? That seems kinda dumb.

    More like "would I spend my life cleaning this instead of throwing it away". You have to be the type of person to not want to clean everything covered in shit though

    There goes everything in the fridge and pantry.

    For me, it's "Does this have a practical function?", and if no, then "Would I evacuate with this in a disaster?"

    I have a one and half year rule. If I haven't used it for more than 1 and a half years, it's trash.

    I can't do that. :( I'm often wanting a part for a project or just the right thing for, whatever. FFS, I save broken glass for when I need to cut it down to fix something.

    Watergate was covered by journalists; these "articles" are written by clickbait engagement employees.

  • I think the movie "The Post" did a good job highlighting the corruption within journalists/media as well. It's not a historical accurate retelling people ensure to point out but it addresses how individuals get tied into closer relationships with politicians which gets them scoops which inevitably make them more money and promotions, but those can be tied to not asking the hard questions, and not wanting to hurt ties/friendships they form along the way.

    Then again, most Tom Hanks movies end up being pretty good. Movies like "A Man Called Otto" always surprise me.

    Would be a weird magazine if every story had to be a watergate level expose or it wouldn’t be printed

    Yes, among other scandals. That's why it has been captured and is being debased. The Washington Post is now like Hector's corpse being dragged and abused in grisly triumph, except there's no Aphrodite to keep it from rotting.

    I too love consumerism so much. let's all talk about things we buy and love to keep, that's a very organic conversation.

    One could argue the article is anti consumerist since its talking about de cluttering, albeit in a weird way. At least, that's what I'm assuming. As for organic conversation, beats "did you see [sports game] last night". But that's just me.
