The fleshlight in the corner almost escaped my notice
If I still had the opportunity to meet women, they'd see this

i only count 9 cats hard pass. get more cats and try again
I see 10 cats, there might be more
I thought cats cant eat m&ms isn't this horribly dangerous
Eat these old smarties on the ground before buying new ones. Terrible with money...
That's a fleshlight by his bed, isn't it?
Don't worry, he rinses it off before he uses it each time
I mean, to be fair, I get that this is a joke... But I look at all the shit in my flat I think 90% of this is clutter. I'm still trying to get rid of my sofa, but it's hard to do for cheap when I don't drive.
I've seen so many flats full of so many little tchotchkes and doodads and superfluous whatevers, and it sort of makes me feel that some people decorate their homes for other people - which is absolutely fine - whereas some people decorate their homes for themselves - which is also fine.
Nothing wrong with a simple life. Maybe get a stand for the fleshlight though, I feel like it would pick up dirt and dust and hair from the carpet like that. π«‘
Man, learning my house should be for me is something I wish I'd known sooner.
For years I had a spare bedroom that was barely used, maybe slept in 15 nights a year.
I had it only because I felt like that's the normal thing to do if you have a space for a spare room. That's what people expect of you.
Meanwhile I'm doing soldering projects on my kitchen table as the only suitable surface in the house, shoving resistors and electronic components out of the way every evening so I can make space to eat.
And then I finally realised, I need to prioritise my utility, not that of other people. I have a massive couch - when a friend wants to stay over they can sleep on there, and be perfectly comfortable!
So I donated the spare bed to charity, turned the room into a space for projects with a huge desk, and I'm so much happier for it.
You could always set up the spare room as a hobby space that also has a bed. That's what I did with my spare room.
Alternatively to that, you could also just have a cot folded and tucked away
I thought long and hard about the best approach, but that just wasn't feasible.
My couch may be big, but the house in general is very small, and is 120 years old so it comes with architectural oddities and features that must be worked around.
The room in question has a chimney breast against one long wall, at one side of which is a built-in wardrobe which also houses my central heating boiler and plumbing, and at the other side of which are integrated shelves and storage.
Of the other three walls, the room is quite narrow, so the "short ends" (one of which has the window anyway) are too short to do anything with, leaving only one wall left to go at - which also has the door on it, further cutting down on usable space.
So it was really a choice - a bed, or a desk.
My couch genuinely is comfy to sleep on though. You can lie totally flat on it even if you're six-foot-some :)
Hell yes, friend. And off you aren't already, apply that to everything and everyone in your life!
After living in a mostly untouched house for over a decade, now in the past few years I've been going nuts making it suit the personalities and habits of my family.
In my case, I think the old bullshit attitude was driven both by our hyper capitalist greedy individualistic conservative culture (why yes I'm in the USA) and wholesome traditional catholic guilt and self-denial.
How truly fucked it is that we live in a world where people will limit their life experiences in their own home for decades, just so that they can believe that after they die their home sells for 10% more.
Meanwhile I'm over here having my back yard turned into an active construction site all year, but that hasn't hurt the enjoyment of my family or my numerous pets, and the next decade in that yard is going to be awesome.
Actually, a little hair on the fleshlight makes it more realistic, fyi.
If your getting rid of sofa. Just break it up with a hammer and saw into small pieces and send it out a bit at a time with the regular trash.
Yeah, just like how Jeffrey Dahmer did it.
My decorations are too embarrassing to be seen by others. The rest is junk.
Maybe this is a language barrier, I genuinely don't understand what is "unserious" about not having a bedside table/lamp. I haven't had nor have I needed or missed a bedside table/lamp in four years. I don't think that either of those are essentials, honestly! I can take pride in my living space without filling it with things I don't want, need, or use.
Oh I see, so it's "unserious" because they are uncomfortable being serious about what they want?
Ah, I think that's where I was getting confused - "serious" to me isn't quite the same as "sincere", so I understood "unserious" to mean like, "silly" but in a goofy kinda way. I get what you're saying now!
I am at a point where I say don't gift me anything anymore. I don't want to buy anything either.
I just want to throw half the crap in the cellar. Maybe I will.
you got an active freecycle board in your location? or a thrift store you can call and ask them if they'd pick up a couch because you are not a bicycle?
Gotta get the mattress off the floor so the spiders don't come to cuddle at night.
And maybe a houseplant for atmosphere.
looks like we found the dude who hates friendly cuddles.
Reminds me of a greentext of a dude that didn't get laid because a spider scared the girl off. He killed the spider, only to later find out the girl had some DST. He mourned spiderbro.
Friendly cuddles without consent? That's assault, brother!
I'm pretty sure the spider consented.
you know where they wasn't consent? when they killed that spider
The on-set intimacy coordinator gave me the go ahead! They said, in fact, "squish that spider or so help me you're going to NEED a paid professional to conduct intimacy in this bedroom".
Sounds like something Dear Modern would say XD
At least make the bed you heathen.
What is the offensive part?
I used to live like this, but it would never in a million years have occurred to me that criticism of that lifestyle would be the problem rather than the lifestyle itself. I was always fully aware of how fucked-up and indefensible it was.
I'm a bit flabbergasted just, is the gripe that this guy has hooked up with a girl? That it has the gaul to portray how intersex relations used to be?
That's really sad. I wish I could show them how to get out even though that's exactly what the manosphere grifters prey on
I'm willing to get upset about this if anyone needs the comfort Reddit normal brings. I definitely think this if hilarious but I promise I won't show it if my service is required. π€£
Nah, if theyβre getting offended, itβs probably actual dumbfucks. Makes sense though. The comic is accurate, although someone who looks like Chad there is probably gonna have a lot nicer apartment.
Edit: accidentally miswrote the last sentence.
Minimalism is a ploy by big small to sell more less
Xbox360 at least heβs playing good games.
Minimalism would reduce the wires. Push the TV and console against the wall to hide the cords.
Where is the weight set?
He is in Unit 6 7 ... π
