    When you learn minimalists weren’t actually about the looks but about keeping stupid adult responsibilities on the low.

      Yes!

      Wife was saying big, far away houses are getting cheaper and we should buy and retire there. Nope, the more space the bigger the mess she’ll do. Can’t literally take 2 steps further to drop whatever it’s in her hand. I have a dozen reading glasses spread through the house, usually accumulating at a few preferred places.

      Yep, I mentioned to my mum a few times that I’m ‘baking’ in my microwave, which I know is terrible for this task. So, she’ll tell me I should be getting an oven, I should be getting an air fryer etc. etc… I always tell her, I don’t have the space for it, but really, I don’t want to be cleaning yet another appliance.

        I have an oven that’s also a microwave and can also cook with a special pan. It’s also smaller than a normal oven, so it’s closer to an air fryer and heats up really quickly

          That sounds a lot like adult responsibilities of ordering a new microwave oven and disposing the old one. :P

          I mean, yeah, that does sound cool. I was kind of expecting your comment, because I’ve also been eyeing those.
          But yeah, I’ll have to see. I’m extremely picky with such appliances, so researching one I like will genuinely take a lot of time…
