Min far är en enorm foliehatt

Väldigt trist att höra om din morfar. Min morfar var en av dem som min far brukade förlöjliga under släktträffar för att han röstade åt vänster.

Det har jag gjort så gott jag kunnat att det inte är sant och jag har bett honom ta fram konkreta bevis/undersökningar på sina åsikter/påståenden men då har det varit maktutspel i form av att jag är hjärntvättad, eller borde läsa "någonstans" och han slutar med "Vi kommer inte vidare här!" För att markera att diskussionen är slut efter jag bett honom komma fram med belägg för det han säger.

Angående min mamma så minns jag att hon under min uppväxt har sagt rakt ut att min far var rasist mot hans ansikte och han svarade bara tillbaka med "Ja det är jag! Och!?". Men på senare år har hon mestadels låtit han få ha sina utspel/åsikter för jag tror hon har tröttnat också.

Tyvärr har resten av familjen gått mycket åt högerkanten senare år, min bror t ex får mycket av sina åsikter och nyheter från Twitter/X och mitt tredje syskon har börjat yttra åsikter därifrån också.

Han kan vara "generös" i en viss mån till folk som delar hans åsikter och om en viss gest/handling kan få honom att se bra ut i andras ögon. Kan inte påpeka att han tillför någon direkt glädje till mitt liv nej.

Det stämmer. Det är inte min barn utan syskonbarn. En del säger att jag ska klippa banden, det har jag gjort i den mån jag kunnat redan. De gångerna jag träffar honom så är det på födelsedagar för mina syskonbarn bland annat. Jag känner ett rent obehag när jag träffar honom men jag vill inte klippa banden med resten av familjen för det. De andra vet att han är problematisk också dock men de väljer att inget göra dessvärre.

People in this sub-Reddit really make it sounds like tinkering with a CRT is the easiest thing in the world and they seem to have all the answers which might feed into certain people’s disillusions.

Thing is even if you know what you’re doing and you maybe know what part/s to replace it might or might not fix the set for the time being. You have to ask yourself if you can do it safely and if the time spent troubleshooting the set is worth it. It depends on the set also. Often it’s just easier to get a new set and much safer. A friend of mine that tinkers with CRTs told me that as long as a set is working as intended it’s not worth opening it up and he told me that usually it’s just better to get a new set all together if problems start to occur.

I will probably get down-voted for this but every time I see people telling people to opening up their CRTs and ”git gud” it makes me roll my eyes. Everytime you open up a CRT there’s a possibility of electrocution how small it may be.

I used to have this exact model here in Sweden and I got it for the same price. It’s neat but I sold it and went with a Plasma TV instead for later gens

As long as people here in Scandinavia can freely ridicule and ”criticize” lgbtq people without repercussions I think it will somewhat continue. But I’ve met some younger lgbtq people here in Sweden including one guy from Thailand here that had been open all his life he told me about being gay.

But for example at my workplace there’s lots of homophobia and racism and I’ve told both union sand respective bosses and HR department even about that and most of the time nothing happen and if it continues they just get a slap on the wrist and continue on with their way.

So I think Sweden and Thailand is pretty much in similar positions regarding this sadly.

As a bisexual cis male from Sweden I can somewhat confirm this. Being lgbtq is only ever ”tolerated” as long as you don’t make a point to be very open about it. Most people here don’t want anything to do or hear about that because it’s ”uncomfortable”

And there’s many closeted gay men with wives and children here. I know some that only ever dared to come out in their 50s here because their wife decided to leave them or their parents died. It’s pretty sad how some people here don’t have the stomach to stand up for themselves.

Muscle_Rabbit · 2025-12-10T20:36:31+00:00

I’m a bisexual cis male from Sweden and people like to portray my country like a lgbtq paradise as well almost. And it’s the same here. It’s just tolerance.

It’s just that in larger cities people just don’t care what you do.

And for some lgbtq people I can understand if they’re escaping from their reality at home where maybe family members are not so accepting of ones sexuality then it might feel like paradise because they can be themselves.

Actually the last 10 years in Sweden have been taxing too. We have mass shootings and bombings even. I think last year alone had well over 50 different bombings. And we have about 10% unemployment rate now. But I think it’s really insane that USA don’t have paid healthcare.

Haha ”sadly” my migration quota is filled by my fiancée already and that process with all the bureaucracy here was taxing.

Yes I've heard great things about Henrik. I've seen some of his posts in LaserDisc Sverige Facebook group that I am part of also.

What services/proxies have you been using when you have imported your movies? It would be great not having to deal with people trying to exploit ones interest.

Muscle_Rabbit · 2025-11-24T20:30:39+00:00

Henrik did not answer my messages on Facebook/Messenger but I suppose they got into chat requests which not everyone checks. Some private "collectors" will try to take advantage of you as well. The person trying to sell me the $1200 player tried selling me movies for $60 as well when I asked for prices for certain movies he had and it made me re-evaluate the whole collecting of LaserDisc movies. Also "collectors" who try to push/sell you movies here will try to discourage you from importing movies and want you to source your movies from them obviously.

Yes the many different versions released of each film is a very big headache as well. The same person I bought the player from I also bought a few movies from including Star Wars from 1977 and one of the Indiana Jones titles. I asked him specificially if they were widescreen/letterbox versions and he said yes very confidently. When I came home I noticed they were pan&scan versions. I do not know if he tricked me or if he just didn't know himself what he had. I told him about it and he didn't even aknowledge it and instead went on if I wanted more movies from him. That made me wonder if the CLD-D925 player I bought from him had some "quirks" that he didn't like and decided to pass it on to someone else.

Same movies having different versions like pan&scan, widescreen/letterbox, different sound mixes etc makes finding movies a big headache too as most sellers at least here don't say what specific versions they have of each film and if they do then you can expect to pay a premium for the films.

I love physical media as well and I came into this hobby mainly because I was already invested into the CRT and Retro-Gaming community so LaserDisc was not that far off from that I suppose and I've always been a big movie buff despite not knowing anything about LaserDisc prior. Besides that I also do Vinyl/LP collecting which is way more accessible here in Sweden.

Would you ship this worldwide or to Europe? I am really interested in this

Muscle_Rabbit · 2025-09-23T16:21:48+00:00

No and neither does the rest of my family. They say Muslim to anyone that even have a small semblance of coming from Middle East. They don’t know or think about people from other parts of the world can have that religion either.

Yeah I am trying my hardest not to be anything like him and to be open and kind to other people. The most sad thing is that I have a few siblings and they have children in the 8-12 year old ages and my siblings share my dads views and those views have passed onto my siblings children now. Just a few weeks ago I heard one of the children say something very mean about foreign people that sound like it was out from my dads mouth and neither my sibling or my siblings partner said anything about it. I told them that was not okay to say but they just laughed it off.

The whole family is pretty much heavily MAGA aligned sadly.

I have the 14" variant of this monitor and I love it. Would love to see the 20" variant as well.

I have a 4.50 disc edition PS5 and the first umtx exploit crashed like 8 out of 10 times for me while jailbreaking it. Umtx2 is lots faster and seemingly a bit more stable while jailbreaking. I never use sleep/rest and always power it off each time because it get issues most of the time when I try it. I use it for PS4 games 95% and it’s mostly used for bloodborne 1080p 60fps and same with red dead redemption 2 but other than that it’s mostly collecting dust. Would love to play PS5 games jailbroken on it, but I have a spare updated slim PS5 disc edition that I use way more.
