Well I was in a pretty well laid out 590 sq. ft. with my girlfriend, and we had a queen bed, two computer desks, a piano, an L-couch coffee table, entertainment stand, dining table, guitar amp, and kitchen. That and 3 cats and a gecko terrarium.
So no, I could not bring my motorcycle up into the condo and work on it without moving any furniture. And hobby-wise I ran out of space for my 3D printers and CNC set-up, and she was incredibly cramped with her piano and desk against each other.
And how much of that did you actually need? Why have two desks and a dining table when you can put a laptop on the table? Why have an L shaped sofa and not a compact 2 person sofa? Why have a grand piano (I'm assuming since you had a lot of space) rather than a compact electric piano?
In our first apartment we had a king size bed BTW, the space under it was great for storage and good sleep is important!
Our desktops aren't exactly easy to move onto and off a dining table, and there is no way I'm settling for a laptop. We have an L-couch because we like to host people, and have parties. We have a full length electric keyboard, because that's what there is space for.
You sound very condescending by the way, you should lighten up your tone.
Ah, ok. You want to consume more, have more stuff, bigger and better and newer and faster.
Well, good luck with that if that's what it takes to make you happy.
No, I want a computer powerful enough to actually do my job and laptops don't cut it.
Why are you still being so condescending?
Because the world is on fire, while the richest humans want to consume more. Your replies are typical of that mindset, you could hardly contain your consumerism while living in an area which in much of the world would be considered large and luxurious.
Yeah, I barely contribute to climate change and have a vastly below average carbon footprint.
So kindly fuck you cunt.
Thank you for your beautifully worded reply.
