Adam Ellis

Yeah I didn't see it until it looked at this picture a third time. I didn't realize at first that this is actually Adam Ellis cause the art style is so different than his usual stuff.

Incredible, thank you I hadn't noticed

He should have put this in the box and he would have been golden.

😂🤣

Man, learning my house should be for me is something I wish I'd known sooner.

For years I had a spare bedroom that was barely used, maybe slept in 15 nights a year.

I had it only because I felt like that's the normal thing to do if you have a space for a spare room. That's what people expect of you.

Meanwhile I'm doing soldering projects on my kitchen table as the only suitable surface in the house, shoving resistors and electronic components out of the way every evening so I can make space to eat.

And then I finally realised, I need to prioritise my utility, not that of other people. I have a massive couch - when a friend wants to stay over they can sleep on there, and be perfectly comfortable!

So I donated the spare bed to charity, turned the room into a space for projects with a huge desk, and I'm so much happier for it.

Actually, a little hair on the fleshlight makes it more realistic, fyi.

Minimalism isn't the same as laziness or unseriousness, which is what the comic is making fun of, the way a lot of guys especially are so unable to take anything seriously that they don't know how to even go into a target and pick out a nightstand and a lamp.

You can get by with very few possessions, and should, but you still need to take enough pride in your living space that you are doing it with intentionality and focus on the essentials, which again, isn't the same as "I can make do."

If your getting rid of sofa. Just break it up with a hammer and saw into small pieces and send it out a bit at a time with the regular trash.

My decorations are too embarrassing to be seen by others. The rest is junk.

I am at a point where I say don't gift me anything anymore. I don't want to buy anything either.

I just want to throw half the crap in the cellar. Maybe I will.

you got an active freecycle board in your location? or a thrift store you can call and ask them if they'd pick up a couch because you are not a bicycle?

Don't worry, he rinses it off before he uses it each time

At least not a coconut with a hole in it

i only count 9 cats hard pass. get more cats and try again

I thought cats cant eat m&ms isn't this horribly dangerous

Big mistake, buy them after Halloween when they're on clearance

Eat these old smarties on the ground before buying new ones. Terrible with money...

Granddroids is incredible, I love it

What is the offensive part?

Idk, is computer vision good enough to recognize what the apartment feels like?

Nah, if they’re getting offended, it’s probably actual dumbfucks. Makes sense though. The comic is accurate, although someone who looks like Chad there is probably gonna have a lot nicer apartment.

Edit: accidentally miswrote the last sentence.

GRRRRRRRRRRRIND

This should be graffitid on a wall somewhere

Wait ✋️ ..... I ....... fuck math checks out?

looks like we found the dude who hates friendly cuddles.

look the spiderhomies need their good night kisses

But the spiders eat the bedbugs?

Sounds like something Dear Modern would say XD

And he till gonna tear it up on that roach bed

The zen atmosphere got so intense he couldn't spend even thirty seconds tidying

TV

No that's inefficient

Trying to frame his slobbishness as "minimalism". Prioritizing a games console and immature Naruto poster over bed sheets. Fleshlight just left out on the floor. Boasting about his apartment when there's less than nothing there.

Other than “m’lady,” I fail to see a problem…

It's lack of care. It's fine if you don't actually care about the place you sleep and shower, but you better be putting that care into something else to compensate. People who live like this and are also healthy are typically people who are dedicated to activities outside of their home and spend every waking moment rock climbing or working at their passion job.

Otherwise, it's not even just about impressing a guest or girl, it's about nurturing your living space. Even if you're doing minimalism, you have to do it with pride and joy. You can decorate without clutter and focus on the essentials for comfort and it will make you feel happier and proud of your environment.

The comic here is pointing out and making fun of how many guys are so deeply unserious about anything that they can't even invest enough care into buying a proper table and chair. Being a man sometimes means you grow up surrounded by people who tease you for liking things, you learn to be cynical or sarcastic about literally everything as a result, and this doesn't just make you bad at picking out a proper bedframe and nightstand, it also means you're not going to invest serious feelings into anything and that's why it's considered a red-flag.

It's a footlocker.

Actually, it runs FreeBSD

Maybe he was expecting her to bring two friends

It's fine when you're young.

When you get older, the ability to roll your feet off the bed and easily stand up is clutch.

Most mattresses require ventilation.

That dude doesn't even own a top sheet. That's disgusting.

Bet if you lifted it, you'd smell straight ass and see mold.

I did that a lot, one advantage of a bedframe is the storage you get underneath.

Problem is humidity under your mattress. Japanese daily move the mattress so they don't have that problem.

What’s peoples problem with sleeping on the floor.

Completely fucks my back up, for starters

Bro if you wanna live like you’re camping in a tent fine but don’t expect people to like it. I mean not even a sheet? Nothing? How does he wash it? If you can’t even wash the top the layer why on earth should anyone want to sleep on it? At least with the Japanese futon, if you do it right, it can look nice and purposeful but even then you should have real sheets for it and it can be rolled up, unlike this thing. I know someone who does the futon thing and their place is actually pretty nice and purposeful, not cobbled together garbage.

Even brand new an Ikea Tarva frame just isn’t that expensive and it’s nice, solid wood. I replaced the legs with $8 of 2x2 from Home depot so it’s nice and tall for me since I’m tall and hate having to get UP out of bed.

The biggest reason, of course, is because it almost always comes with an overarching theme of disgusting living habits. It’s not great on its own but when it brings all its dirty-ass friends you’re in for a bad time.

It shows how much effort he puts into other aspects of his life.

Good luck getting this guy to give you an orgasm unless neglect is your kink.

Because that's the kind of body guys think is hot and for women is like being into extreme muscle mommies.

It's alright for some but most prefer something else.
