Yeah I have never been in a position in my life to just give stuff away. In the small circumstance that I am there is always a close friend I have in mind who would benefit from a gift. Seems insane to be a part of a community that is constantly giving free shit away.


Where are you from. In America there are loads of people with tons of “junk”, even lower class people. Lots of people buy something thinking they’ll use it but they don’t, or they grow out of it, etc.


I really don’t understand this and it sounds wrong to me but I haven’t down voted it because I’m wondering if it could be a cultural thing. Can you say more about never having been in a position for to give stuff away?


Seems simple enough? They only have stuff they use, and they use them until it becomes unusable. I'm frankly much the same, I don't buy new things often and I repair them (or have them repaired, for clothes and shoes) until they start do disintegrate.
