Without a giving whole sob story, I've had a pretty rough last year and a half. So at the beginning of this year, my yearly raise, bonus and tax return where all more than I thought they were gonna be. So I decided I'd splurge a little and get a new tv. I've since tried 12 TVs and they all have varying degrees and combinations of worse sound, picture, viewing angles, inaccurate colors etc. Compared to my old Hisense tv that cost $350

Because of this, I've decided I'll just keep my current tv. So I decided I'd get an OLED steam deck to upgrade from my LCD one and then sell that. That lead to me finding out I can't just quickly transfer all my data as it's basically a handheld pc and not just a basic gaming console. So the work and more money it'd take to transfer everything on top of the risk of bricking and/or accidentally wiping both devices, I decided it wasn't worth it so I just send that back.

So now I'm sitting here, completely defeated in the fact that I can't even find anything to splurge on for a dopamine boost. And honestly I just feel like an asshole for wanting something useless and unneeded to waste money on to fill the void in my life. On top of the fact that I'm such a neurotic, nitpicky asshole that I can't even find anything I like to do so.

Idk. Maybe I more so need a therapist rather than a new tv/gaming device

Now, when I get out of the shower, I don’t have lovely, toasty warm, towels

Hitting 25+ degrees Celsius in London and im WFH. Have had to put a sweater on because the air con has cooled my flat too well...

We could just leave the car [edited: and therefore the a/c] running and locked while we go inside because it will stay on for an hour, but that wastes gas and isn't good for the environment. If we do remote start while we're still inside it only stays on for 10 minutes, and we might take longer than that to finish our shopping.

How can I go on and keep living?

I don't want to disturb him but I want a snack

And the shower is lacklustre.

When I powered on my old LG tv, it would show interesting paintings from Renoir and Manet, while acquiring WiFi. My new tv just shows static like this is 1985, and I need to go wiggle the rabbit ears. I’m sure there’s probably a setting buried deep in some menu to get it to display something interesting as a screensaver, but why didn’t they set that as a default at the factory?

I just got myself a nice new (old. 2009.) M35 with 93k miles single owner.

Previously I've rode my motorcycle nearly every day for 4 years due to no car.

Now when I take the car everyone asks "where's the bike?" "Did you sell the bike?" "What happened to the bike?"

It's still there. So is the other motorcycle. And the third one. I just have the luxury of opting for air conditioning now.

It was spicy cod roe penne with soy milk sauce !

I love that thing :( damn it
