    No, it’s because where I live owning things is considered bad and weird. You are supposed have a minimalist lifestyle and spend all your money traveling and going ot restaurants.

    It’s not just the dvds, people think I’m weird for having pets, furniture, and other physical objects. There is a weird fetishization here for who like refuse to own anything that doesn’t fit in a few suitcases. Probably because they constantly move. Like almost none of my nieghbors are the same, people live here for like 2-3 years and move mostly. So someone who has lived in the same place for 5+ years and is invested in the community and in their home, freaks them out.
