MaleLivingSpace - Church Apartment, yay or nay?

What's your opinion on this?

I think it's an interesting concept, but the actual execution feels very staged, like every decision was "will people on Instagram and TikTok like this?"

Outside immediately tells you an rgbstrag lives here

What's going on here? We have what appears to be the end of a hammock, but in a hallway?

Okay, so we have the 'living room'. A place of relaxation, but visually very cluttered.

  • TV not centered between windows

  • Windows provide obnoxious backlighting during day

  • DVD cases in a shadowbox, behind the TV but partially behind the TV from your viewing position. They're also arranged in a weird spacing.

  • We can see the hammock again. It's apparently in some partitioned-off hallway end, with a cringe Kurt Cobain poster on an easel, for some.... reason...?

  • Buddy what the frick is happening with your computer desk. Awkward angle, cables everywhere, no speakers, a bare light RIGHT BEHIND YOUR SCREEN, mouse is on the right side of the keyboard but mousepad on the left side, you're constantyl twisting your back to face the keyboard...

  • One speaker to the left of the TV, soundbar practically falling off, but where's the right speaker?

So there's another designer chair at an angle, facing the TV kinda and getting in the way of anybody getting off the couch? More starshit posters and you can really see how visually distracting it must be to use that computer.

We're getting into WootFatigue territory here, dude has a fricking GMC Yukon desktop wallpaper.

Well there's the missing speaker I guess.

Kitchen would be fine if it weren't for the fact that OF COURSE he has a Pulp Fiction poster. Also there's no pantry or broom closet to put your swiffer in? Block off that stupid hammock hut and turn that into a broom closet, ffs.

Edit: noticed a hot wheels car in packaging on the left. It's right by the EMT THAT WAS ONE-HOLE STRAPPED TO THE WALL BUT THEY DIDN'T OFFSET FOR THE TEE BODY, ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING :marseydisagreefast:

Nice work having cords laying about like a fricking idiot. Dude has capeshit comic books, a sketch of a bmw, and the most common Wayfair headboard available, which also appears to be partially obstructing access to his loadcenter.

I'm really curious how that gap occured in the hardwood near the floor register. Also what is this blanket situation going on? There's a giant pile of ????? and the blanket is pulled all the way to the headboard.

He REALLY wanted you to see the generic bmw sketch and designer lamp


Dunno where I was going with this, people aren't allowed to enjoy things. Kept me busy while safety training went on in the background, so :marseythumbsup2:

What is with scrotes and putting LED lights everywhere, are they trying to make their home look like the inside of a gaming tower

They bathe their bedroom in blue lighting, then wonder why it's so hard to sleep and they're always tired.

They see influencers and tiktoktwinks do it to stand out, so they do it too

The whole "red for bed" thing is almost entirely pseudoscience.

Reported by:
  • Elias_Acorn : When I stayed at a long term air bnb it was basically an attic turned into a room + kitchen + bath and as a 6'1" male I could only stand upright near the bed area not the kitchen or bathroom

The best thing about churches are the impressive high ceilings. In their efforts to turn this building into rentoid cages they've renovated that away. So cool idea, shit execution.

They look reasonably high in most pictures, higher than a normal house at least. tbh I think two levels is better than just having one level with a super high ceiling in terms of a house, especially if you can get two levels each with a reasonably high ceiling to itself.

Yeah I've been to church apartments and they are really cool with 3 story ceilings. The only problem is that they were kind of just really big studios, so your "bedroom" was a loft in the same room.

Acceptable professions to live in a church apartment:

Gay dj

Gay personal trainer

Gay lawyer

Gay day laborer

Unemployed (squatting no pay)

Serial killer

Anything else would be very cringe. Feel bad for the guy if he is project manager or something.

There are no male project managers (except in construction)

I'm for it. It moves unproductive land squatted on by NEET leeches into the hands of landchads who can now extract rent from wage servants

It's not like it's some medieval stone church. It's a brick shack with funny looking windows.

Windows provide obnoxious backlighting during day

Depending on the orientation of the church it's probably not that big a deal tbh. Like if it's north-facing. I'd actually argue it's probably better than having the windows behind the TV since you won't get any glare.

You're always gonna have issues with the TV in a room with huge windows and no window treatments though.
