I bet the shoes you bought were made in a sweatshop by asian kids for 0.05$ an hour
Yeah screw the economy I'd rather sit at home
did you buy it from a co-op? this is important
i was going to give money to a homesless person, but decided it would mean i was buying a sense inner peace and didn't do it.he probably would have spent it on smack anyway
you failed, you're guilty of feeding the corporate agricultural giants that are driving small family farms and sustainable agricultural practices to extinction
try again next year
College communists usually revert to a consumerist way of life once they get out of college and start making enough money so they're just as guilty as people who don't care about co-ops

i do have an extensive list of friends joining in the facebook group of "buy nothing day". i clicked on the first ones profile and it gave me instructions on how converting double layered toilet paper into two single layered toilet cyliniders
why not just buy single layered if you're going to do that?
I thought the whole point of double layered was a 'comfort' thing and to stop it tearing midwipe and getting stuck in your bum. I see 'comfy' toilet roll as more of an essential than a luxury really
fuck yall, just bought a 42" lcd tv half off :cool:
To me everyday is buy nothing daythis.
Y...you monster. I hope you at least break that TV down into four 21" TVs so you can reduce waste and consumerism.Man-O-War, Lord of Maths
Uh actually that is correct. TV's are measured diagonally so a 42' would split into 4 21' TV's. Check it out yourself.
-If I'm wearing something with a character from some series I like, some else that likes it will notice, thus starting another conversation with out me having to say "OH HEY I LIKE HALO/GEARS/INVADER ZIM. DO YOU LIKE HALO/GEARS/INVADER ZIM? LETS TALK ABOUT HOW AWESOME HALO/GEARS/INVADER ZIM IS!"i avoid most people with that shit on their shirts, even if im a fan of whatever it is.
lol u dress like a 12 year old

i avoid most people with that shit on their shirts, even if im a fan of whatever it is.Do you do this because they are openly a fan of something nerdy or what some people consider "childish" or do you typically find people that are fans of anything enough to wear t-shirts of it to be generally annoying/obnoxious?
also being stylish is a huge waste of money but it gets you laid so necessary evil imo
also i like looking good
fuck i guess im just FUELIN' THE CAPITALIST MACHINE
lol u dress like a 12 year oldOk then. Maybe this is something 12 years old's have right. I really don't give a shit though. :P
Was gonna order some chia seeds and cacao nibs cause I'm running low on chia seeds (and I want the nibz) but decided to wait for Monday :):woop: now that's what I'm talkin' about!!!
:woop: now that's what I'm talkin' about!!!Are you being sarcastic or do you actually care?

do you typically find people that are fans of anything enough to wear t-shirts of it to be generally annoying/obnoxious?this one.
this one.
at least with band shirts its like YEA I WENT TO THEIR SHOW which has a lot more cred to it then YEA I REALLY LIKE X GAME/ANIME
unless you get band shirts from non-concert venues which i think is probably pretty dumb!

how do people even allow themselves to get that fat??????This is unfortunately common in the US and kind of depressing/sickening. People like this have no self control or don't care that they are this fat.
none of your fuckin' business homo!!!
and a mcdonalds breakfast)next thing you know you'll be 400lbs and fighting over an xbox at walmart

Well then those bitches are fucking shallow and I would not want to with them anyway I honestly wouldn't care if I had a girlfriend that wore gaudy/ugly/tacky clothing (as long as the reason was because she didn't care rather then thinking it looked good)
I care little about how I look but I find it incredibly annoying when someone nags me about the way I look, long uncombed messy hair/typically unshaven. because it seems so petty and pointless to me. The only thing I can understand someone being avoided due to stench/they need a fucking shower which is actually a relatively common issue at my college because of people playing games all night and then skipping their shower cause they'd miss/ be late for class if they took one. The only 'look' based stuff I care about is weight issues. I'm not exactly lean or even very healthy, but I wouldn't say I'm fat either. It is all about what you look like in the buff and I'll admit I don't look particularly great.
Ok then. Maybe this is something 12 years old's have right. I really don't give a shit though. :P
Though again I personally associate this with my nerdiness then childishness. Also, everyone I know at my college wears shirts like this a lot or at least at some point other then maybe a select few (one friend particular comes to mind). and while I personally don't buy clothes for the sake of looking good other people will buy and then give them to me as a gift and I don't turn down/waste gifts/free stuff.
EDIT: yeah, getting laid for me will be kind of a bitch because I'm picky and I'm not motivated enough because it seems like to much work/time/money/risk. Then there the fact that I suck in social situations with woman that are actually interested in me which is a rarity in of itself... either that or there are times that I'm oblivious to a girl trying to get my attention.
next thing you know you'll be 400lbs and fighting over an xbox at walmartUGHHHHHHHH HOW CAN yoU EAT MCDONALDS?? WHATS WRONG WITH YOU dONT YOU KNOW HOW BAD THAT STUFF IS
jesus christ what's up with all these people attacking dietcoke. reread his posts, even he's kind of taking this like a joke and it's pretty clear that any argument you're going to make about "long term economic solutions" is one he knows about and probably lives by. apparently barack obama is a small step in the right direction but a single day boycott is just STUPID LIBERALS! AND THEIR...IDEAS!

lol dude stop trying to defend a lack of dress sense. its not a good thing. does your mom buy your clothes for you.But I don't lack dress sense. I know what looks good, I just see as too expensive to bother with/don't know how to get it cheap.
edit: the only people that will hang out with you are just as socially inept as you. enjoy never having a life because of your lack of self respect
edit: buy nothing day is dumb as shit
i'm more in shock that in a full commitment to be an iconoclast dom has decided to defend mcdonald's shitty fat clogged breakfast.It isn't just McDonald's... pretty much all fast food is pretty awful. it is to bad that all my friends like it and when ever we go out they'll suggest fast food I'll be like "I'm not eating shit".
wait, do you seriously avoid people if they are wearing a shirt with a band/tv show on it? that is seriously the dumbest shit, I'm wearing a Sonic Youth shirt right now what is your opinion on that.Actually he avoids them because he assumes they are just obnoxious fans. He doesn't avoid people if he thinks the thing they are a fan of is stupid. Also for him band shirts are different because they are trophies to signify that he went to a concert.
still akward around girls and you're like 20?No, I agree. I've never tried also because I end up saying the exact opposite thing of what I should say so I've avoided anything more then being a good acquaintance. Though there is one girl that I wanted to try a relationship with but I was to slow because someone else got to her first, and I don't think she had the same interest in me anyway.
sorry, seems a bit rude, but still :fogetnah:
I dunno man, I thought it was pretty clear that this was a joke all the haters can suck on my baaallllllll sackWell I'm terrible on picking up on joke's and sarcasm through text.
Yeah if you don't like pollution global warming evil stuff in general ignore it too!your mamma ignores it
Stop trollingthat's like telling kobe bryant to stop ballin'
I dunno man, I thought it was pretty clear that this was a joke all the haters can suck on my baaallllllll sack
i just love the self-righteous reactions from people who have their excessive consumption called into question. I'm just as guilty as the next guy, but at least i don't try to defend it and can crack a joke or two about it.
whats a co op
I'm being serious I've never heard of a co op before now
earl chip there's a little show calle dking of the hill, ep raise the steaks, look into it, peace out bich.

I don't even have a drivers license or ever had a job... I'm pretty lazy.
warpped is my best friend leave him alone!*facepalm*
*words*... I don't like star Trek! how dare you spread these lies!
8-) not where I'm at, our natural foods and coops are pretty nice, but I live in liberalsville USA and there's a market for it cuz people around here are all about that shitbuy from bunch of people who smoked themselves stupid and can barely figure out the right seasons to farm different crops sounds like good eatin.
how much money do you spend on this shit monthly?regular groceries cost me 100-150 bucks and that last me almost a month or more. This shit I am ordering is extra and it will last me like 4 months.

oh this isn't too bad! i wrongly assumed that shit costed a ton.It does. For example, the raw chocolate nibs cost 16 bucks for a 1 pound bag (online plus shipping) but I only put a small handful (like 10 nibs they are tiny) and I don't use them everyday. For the regular food, I buy mostly organic stuff but for some fruits I buy conventional for example bananas, because they are the least effected with pesticides (they have the huge ass skin that you peel off it's harder for the pesticides to seep through than with, say, an apple) and if a chain grocery store offers an organic product with there brand name I buy it cause it's cheaper (For example silk soymilk is like 2.79 for 32oz, whereas store brand soymilk that is organic is like 1.99 and tastes the same (I use almond milk mostly now though). I buy frozen fruits and veggies because they last longer, are just as nutritious as fresh (mostly (the stuff bought at the store isn't really fresh anyways),) and an alright price.
100-150 bucks for how regular grocery man, it does cost money to buy organic alone and that's ignoring his novelty vegan stuff. he probably saves money on not buying meats but yeah 150 is a lot, my mom don't spend that much buying for a household of three.But many times does she go to the grocery store a month? I go about once. I'll go more if I'm making a recipe and I need ingredients or something but yeah.

150 a month is not bad at all man.
for one person (not three rajew) not buying ANY MEAT CHEESE MILK EGGS (the major expenses when I go to the grocery) it's kind of pricey. then again my family has a built in crazy deal sense and my mom regularly saves like half the price of her groceries when she goes about once a month so maybe I'm just crazy.
also rajew shitty food isn't necessarily saving you any money. buying a bunch of tv dinners will possibly end up costing you more than making the same food if you amortize the cost down.
i actually don't mind ramen too much. it's ok every now and then. (i am pretty poor tho so what do i know.......)probably because scurvy is a vitamin C deficiency and i'm pretty sure ramen sucks in that department (seriously eat an orange).
is it true that guys have actually gotten SCURVY from eating solely ramen noodles?
what the fuck i was SURE this was what's on your mind ahahahaha we miss you joe!
also man I remember bm made a post once about since he went vegetarian his meals were like a dollar or less, being vegetarian tends to save you money!
and rajew...you ain't really eating ramen for MEALS right. do you live in some guy's shed.

that's a housing co-op which are pretty nice too
we're talking food co-ops
Get some coffee or tea, its cheaper and soda is basically carbonated corn syrup and that's gross.
Also my grocery budget is like $15-20 a week tops and that's including that like $6-8 of it is on Soda because I'm incapable of killing my caffeine addiction.
What is so gross about corn syrup?Its like drinking a bunch of syrupy liquid sugar and that's not healthy at all.

Smoking isn't healthy either and that doesn't keep people from doing it
Smoking isn't healthy either and that doesn't keep people from doing itI was offering advice for a healthier/cheaper alternative to soda for getting a caffeine fix.
Really if you can't kick a caffeine addiction you should switch to red/white/green tea because that is infinitely better for you. I've been looking into teas a lot lately and I try to keep up with new scientific research on the effects of their flavinoids and caffeine and that has basically turned me into a regular tea drinker. Also it tastes good.Tea is the best drink ever.
But acylamide concerns aside I love my coffee like I like my women: strong and black!
you basically have three options: live in a co-op or communal society, become a revolutionary, or renig on your ideals and become a consumer (the overwhelming choice by most of them).renig haha
people are weak i guess?
Get some coffee or tea, its cheaper and soda is basically carbonated corn syrup and that's gross.Read The Omnivore's Dilemma, a soda is pretty much 100% corn.
sredni and I went to our first teavana store and the girl serving the sample tea had dyed her mustache blond to conceal it :(Liberals gone wild.
also what the fuck is this topic even about.
Is it true you can make tea with anything you want, for example rosewood?I bet you can make it with MUD, which is especially tasty when it's chock full of minerals.
Liberals gone wild.
