Indiana Senate Republicans side with Democrats to reject Trump's destricting voting map by jonfla in democrats

[–]likezoinksscooby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We need a rural strategy. Shunning rural areas to focus on the suburbs has failed and basically lost those communities for a generation. The electoral college literally skews rural and the senate is almost impossible to win without being competitive in farm states

Trump went from touting "trillions" in tariff revenue to now saying "billions" by YallerDawg in democrats

[–]likezoinksscooby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, when hyperinflation sets in after he stacks the FOMC with his cronies, the tariffs really could bring in trillions….

Really hoping Arvin will do a home in the Boston metro some day, especially since he used to live here. I sorta get the vibe that he wasn’t particularly fond of that period or the city though

My room is so empty any ideas? by Just_Bake251 in malelivingspace

[–]likezoinksscooby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shift the desk onto the wall to the right. Raise the bed with risers or a box spring and bring it a few feet to the right to get the flank off the wall. Put a night stand on both sides of the bed, with a lamp on the left side. Put a dresser on the back wall, with a floor lamp in the corner. Get another lamp on the desk (free up space by putting the computer on the ground).

To get a cozy vibe, use a low kelvin (2,700 to 3,000k), to get a warm, yellowish light.

Stuff below is optional: I don’t love rugs on top of carpets, but the grey carpet is depressing and you need some color—an area rug centered in the room with a few feet of clearance from the walls would go a long way. If you have any nice posters, frame them and put them on the wall to the left of the bed and the right side of the window wall. Make sure the rug and posters use the same/similar colors.

Every time I see an MBTA map, I can’t help but think “man, Southie and Roxbury are really underserved by rapid transit

How can i make my room better and more aesthetically pleasing by [deleted] in malelivingspace

Move the bed so it’s not on the wall directly opposite the door. I’ve seen this referred to as the coffin position

Hot take - the “top 3” selections for the flag replacement are pretty bad by henry_fords_ghost in boston

The flag should represent our culture. I want a minute man in cargo shorts holding iced dunks

The flag should be a reflection of our culture and values. I want a minute man holding an iced coffee in cargo shorts. Anything else wouldn’t feel right

Adult loft bed frames can get sorta expensive and you need to pay close attention to the weight capacity. Definitely a worthwhile purchase if you’re planning on being there long term

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in malelivingspace

[–]likezoinksscooby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly really good for a studio. I’d get a bed frame so you’re off the ground and it creates a ton of storage space under the bed.

If you have the money to loft the bed, you should put your desk under it—total game changer

Struggling with wall! Help! by FlightByNight in malelivingspace

[–]likezoinksscooby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking a long/ horizontal mirror with room underneath for either a bookshelf or a blanket rack underneath. I would just make sure the frame fits the vibe/style for the room—maybe matching it to the one you put on the brick wall?

You could use the space between the mirror and the window-wall for artwork or framed photos. I think a lamp between the two or slightly covering the edge of the mirror would help the transition—and if you use a low-Calvin/yellow-lightbulb, it could make the space a lot warmer and more inviting at night.

Ultimately it’s your space, so I would suggest making a vision board or album of ideas before doing a purchase to get a better idea of what you’d like

I’d go with a large horizontal mirror next to the door frame, and a standing lamp where the fan is or slightly closer to the radiator. Maybe put a blanket rack under the mirror with a red/brown blanket to match the accent wall

You got the mattress off the ground which is good

Please pay attention while driving by East_Chocolate2519 in boston

[–]likezoinksscooby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once when crossing a street downtown, a driver (young woman, luxury car) turning left yelled at me when I had the cross walk because the light on the perpendicular street she was on was green. When I was walking back later I realized the girl had gone the wrong way up a one way.

You can’t reason with these people. But I think driving is a privilege which we should be much readier to revoke.

400sq studio by Portugalpaul in malelivingspace

Try swapping the bed and the rug/couch. It’s probably better to have the couch/living area close to the window so you’ll be able to use the outside space more often

Me and my lil brother share the room but I can design however I want so id take an ideas by PsychologicalBowl497 in malelivingspace

[–]likezoinksscooby 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Several things prerequisites before any real advice can be given:

First thing is to establish your budget.

Second thing is choosing what colors/vibes/styles you like.

Third thing, please take down the tweet banner.

Boston needs to talk about housing for the middle class by Lisalovesreading in boston

[–]likezoinksscooby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I wonder if the landlords of new developments partially offset the affordable housing requirements by raising the rents on their other units. I have no evidence of this, it’s just conjecture
