there is always something for sale and sometimes it seems like everything is for sale.
I feel a bit sad about this 'buying for the sake of buying' consumer society we live in nowadays. Black Friday and the holiday season we keep buying more and more every year. People order cheap junk from China which often is produced under appalling conditions and is polluting the planet.
And also I have to make a list of things I'd like to receive.
I stop buying necessary things towards the holiday season, so I can put those on my list.
It seems like modern society has "trained" people to identify with what they have as their self-definition, rather than with who they are, as people.
I don't know if TEMU is much of a thing in The Netherlands, but here in the USA people are eternally buying their "cheap junk from China" which most often breaks or doesn't even work, so it ends up as plastic in the garbage dump. It's a great shame.

Temu is popular here too. It's terrible all that junk.
