One of my biggest 'hates' of the decadent west. I have always hated it.

I'm very functional, in regard to material 'stuff' -
I just don't see the point of throwing away thing, if they possess utility.

It has benefits. - I don't have smartphone for example -
I'm at the computer using the function of it, or away from it, without the nagging voice in my pocket, demanding my attention.....

Life is niiiice that way.
