I don't get this mentality. I've rented for over a decade and always wall mounted my TVs. It's not tricky to unmount and fill in 6 or 8 holes with a bit of filler.

Do some renters really not hang pictures or put up shelves either? The effort to correct it is probably less work than it is to hang in the first place.

Great stuff! Wanna go for a 4th? :) x

Oh look another essay I won't read. This is exactly the shit I meant mate. Stop trying to ram your own opinion down my perfectly happy throat.

Try to consider the fact that I don't care enough about my PC to try and optimise every aspect and that maybe some people have a different view of the world to you, it's not something you need to be upset by.

Imagine what you could have done with the time you spent writing two mini essays nobody will read. Feel free to write a 3rd but the response will be the same. Take care :) x

Wow that is a lot of words that I'm not gonna read. I have no interest in Linux, I had a curiosity when I joined Lemmy but the typical user just makes me want to not be counted among them. I know there are plenty of good ones too but so many just want to ram their opinion down your throat and judge you as a worse human being if you're happy with Windows.

Thanks for the effort, but I just don't give a shit. Windows works perfectly for me and if something works more perfectly I'm 100% happy living in ignorance anyway.

In a nutshell: Nah I'm good :) x

You might be blinded by your own country's prices there mate, but even considering that, not many people are calling any $400 TV "high end".

By all means have a look on UK amazon (or any UK store) for a new 55in screen for under £200 though.....

A high end tv is over a grand, whether that's from US Walmart or UK John Lewis. What "high end" TV can you show me advertised at $400? Lets keep it simple and just say any OLED 55in screen. Not particularly high end necessarily but I bet you can't find a $400 one, in fact I doubt you'll find one for 3figures.

I just checked Walmart US and not sure how you arrived at 240. The absolute cheapest 55in TV is 250. Where you get 240 average i have no idea, maybe a few TVs elsewhere but they're at the absolute bottom rung for quality and we're talking about affordable TVs , not budget ones.

People very upset that a company which exists to make money has used the cheaper option for the part of a TV that 80% of buyers will leave in the box anyway.

I saw a comment suggesting that it must only be $5 to add a proper stand. TCL made 30million TVs last year so that's a substantial bonus for whoever made that choice.

Breaking news! Budget TV has budget parts!

I guess everyone is on the right when you're on the absolute most extreme left.

You're right, that IS weird....

Simplest thing for me is not having to learn something new just so I can play trackmania AND be accepted here. I can play trackmania on windows just fine and I didn't need to learn to set up an OS and work out what distros and the various other tech sounding things I don't understand are.

But being personally offended when someone doesn't use Linux and points out a valid reason is about 80% of lemmy it seems...

I call 370 an affordable TV, I searched the word tv and that was my 3rd result. If you wanted a good deal I would search for more than 15seconds, but that's how long it took to find the first tv that matched the criteria.

Take a look at the 5th too, $400 for a 55in, plenty affordable!

That's a tough one, the dopamine hit is real and encourages engagement, which drives up the active userbase and makes for more opportunity for discussion.

They get abused too but a forum with none of it won't grow in nearly the same way as one that makes use of it. People like to earn something (karma, upvotes, whatever) even if it has no tangible value.

Honestly, reddit kinda nailed it but then made it very hard to keep supporting them when they took a steaming shit on the mods and massively overpriced the api to ensure they had more control of the userbase.

Overall I don't think they're hurting too badly from it though and I'm sure the extra ad revenue they get from ensuring everyone uses their app helps to dry their tears. Probably a smart business decision (at least in the short to medium term), depressing as that might be.

You summarised my feelings far more eloquently than I managed here yesterday.

Downvote for you!!

But seriously, lemmy feels like more of an echo chamber than reddit ever did to me (which is saying a lot), maybe that's because it's an echo chamber for views i don't agree with and reddit was more aligned to my thinking so I notice it more here, but dear god it's getting harder and harder to stick around.

Nice :)

That's a black Friday sale price. And in typical black Friday fashion it's been advertised to make it look as appealing as possible, that TV doesn't sell for 500 anywhere.

Either way, there's a difference between a budget TV and an affordable TV. You can pick up a TV with a base for £300 pretty easily, and I'd definitely consider that affordable.

Have you considered buying one with feet and spending $30 on a vesa stand to solve the issue?

A 55in TCL is £63 more than the one I linked in the UK.

How cheap are your TVs!? You're getting 55in screens for under $200?

So original. I havent heard that one 13 times already today.

Do you think there might be a reason you hear it a lot...?

Was my 3rd amazon result when searching for a TV...

Or if you want something a little bigger, this is the 5th result.

Absolutely mate, I don't know shit about it at all and really am not interested, I feel like I made that pretty clear. But anyone claiming something is 100% fact in a debate without having actual proof is arguing in bad faith, because they're literally engaged in a debate, if it's 100% fact there is no debate, it would have been proven and anything else becomes conspiracy. The fact that Wikipedia actually says man made means there is some debate.

They might be bang right, but not acknowledging any amount of doubt when it clearly exists (unless they are holding back the proof that they haven't shared with the world for whatever reason) is bad discussion.

I'll side any day with someone passionately espousing the truth, over someone who calmly lies

I'm totally with you there bud, there's a big difference between passion and anger though. One might win people round to your side, the other will only ingratiate you to people already on your side.

You'd have to do alot of explaining if you claimed global warming wasn't manmade too, at that point you'd just be arguing definitions.... Whether that's the definition of what constitutes global warming or the definition of when something becomes manmade.

Good talk :) x
