I also recently got a tcl with google, and haven’t hooked it to the internet.

The OS on it isn’t very good (seriously too many menus in too many places), it sets full brightness and then reduces to setpoint when you change inputs, and I haven’t figured out why it boots up my ps4 every time I turn on the tv, but beyond that I’ve been pretty happy with it.

It’s a very decent dumb tv.

You know.. that’s probably all it is..

This is a bachelor party/weirdo sex thing rental space, and basically nothing else, isn’t it..? Or at least that’s what whatever dumbass designed it to be..

You definitely wouldn’t. It’s not Chicago, not even that close (almost 2 hours by car), not even the same state.. at best it’s part of Milwaukee, and even then it’s a stretch.

There’s a lot of land in the area, and where that house is is full of mansion type properties that have 5-50 acres. That’s normal for the area, and not at all something worth getting rid of. Nobody lives where land is cheap because it’s inconvenient, not because land is actually unaffordable.

I’ve literally never had this problem in my nearly 40 years of life. 🤭

Room temp water gang represent! 🫠

Facts. It’s all of the dells honestly, it’s all weird and themed and wet and sleeps too many or not enough. And only really fun for like a small part of the year, but everyone tries to pretend it’s enjoyable all year…

I totally respect their choice and will be making a similar one in the near future, for many of the same reasons, but a bit differently.

I sold my inherited firearms years back.. I mean what good is a bolt action .22 gunna do for protection in town, really, where I need to worry a lot more about securing my firearm despite living alone? It was a farm firearm, and now I regret getting rid of it because I want farm-space where a firearm will do me good.. so I’ll have to get another.. whoops. Should have just waited til I was older. On larger tracts of land, where you have warnings of people or animals approaching, it makes sense to have a firearm like that handy.

But I think another bolt action or similarly cumbersome rifle is about as dangerous as I want.. I’ve been at least passively suicidal my whole life (thanks, chronic pain!), but I can’t easily bite that bullet, flexible as I may be. :)

I have Navy expert marksmanship qualification, though. I had never fired a real firearm before that day, only airsoft or arcade light guns, did the training (and listened and followed directions) and have not since fired anything.

That is by far the worst use of 2,000+ sqft I’ve ever seen.

And I’m actively house hunting for around that size, so I’ve seen some… interesting spaces.

I read a thing long back that I’ll never be able to find again.. (sorry) But pretty sure it was during trumps first pregnancy, given the link to Johnson.

But it focused on that whole aesthetic thing. It focused mostly on Trump and Boris Johnson, two men known for looking absolutely ridiculous.

It was about how the fabricated image of being disheveled or incompetent worked in their favor, making people think their negatives were mistakes, bumbles, when really they were intentional actions.

Basically it was about how they cultivate the image of incompetence to get away with doing horrible unpopular things.

And I can’t unthink that, now that I’ve thought it.

Laundry room? There are three sets of laundry units on this property! Sharing and taking turns is totally over-rated. (But good luck tracking down your underpants..)

Make your cultists do their own laundry (and yours; you ARE supposed to be the leader..). Then it doesn’t matter if the rooms are shit. You’ll never know.

Plot twist: it’s the same woman, and one pic is mirrored.

Why do conservative rich assholes always look so… angry? Sad? Down?

I mean it’s interesting to look at older people because you can see how they used their faces over their lifetimes; that’s what wrinkles are. And that’s cool and a neat thing and all..

But isn’t being rich supposed to be luxurious? Something better than drudgery and misery? Something worth doing and having? Something to reach for?

So why do they all look so miserable? In like a fundamental “this was my whole life” sort of way? A way that even Botox apparently can’t fix (because if it could they would use it)

That’s what the showing is for; exploring those intrusive thoughts without the investment!
