    I think about this a lot. Three years ago, I spent a lot of money redoing my kitchen. Felt like it was way too much for what I was getting but was told this was a 10-15 year thing. Flash forward 1 manufacturer’s year warranty.

    Ice maker in my fridge stopped working two weeks after the warranty ran out. I’ve paid to have it replaced once, and then they came back to fix it under their warranty, but said they wouldn’t again because it was a design flaw in the manufacturing. It currently doesn’t work.

    The “brushed aluminum” trim is basically a giant silver decal that is currently peeling off of my oven, microwave, and dishwasher.

    Speaking of the oven, the igniter has burned out three times. The guy that replaced the first one showed me how to do it again because he was surprised that this one lasted that long. They go bad about every 3 months so you might as well learn how to change it. "These are pure shit, " he said. The manufacturer’s part is $78 and is not warranty if you put it in. A generic ignitor is $18 and has a one year warranty.

    Stuff is not made to last at fucking all. I feel like we’re being fleeced.



  • I don’t get it. I mean look at all of the dudes in the main photo. All dreamboats.

    Fingers McGee is definitely a keeper. His furrowed brow and lack of wedding ring show he’s definitely on the market. Sure, he could have taken it off because he’s travelling for the rally and is hoping for some fresh rally tail, but he looks so politically engaged he has to be “real”. By bucking the traditional maga red, his bright blue hat he shows he is his own person. He also connects to his roots with a shirt featuring a sweet whitetail ready for mounting.

    Dopey on his left let’s the ladies know he is prepared with two pens in his T-shirt pocket. His four necks shows he can afford groceries in Biden’s economy.

    Just behind Dopey is my pervy 9th grade math teacher that always made comments about his “skivies” and not holding farts in. He’s off the market as he is married to Louise. She’s loves her neighborhood - except that weird Laotian family down the block - and truly believes Thelma Harper from Momma’s Family is a fashion icon.

    To the right is Russian expat, Leonard Chesnakek, aka Lenny Chesney . He loves his folded hat with sunglasses more than his mom’s borsht. He also secretly loves his matching pink shirt and shorts even though he tells his girlfriend of 2 weeks, Mary, he hates them because “they’re gay”. Mary has no idea what’s going on and is wondering when she can go pee.

    To Lefty’s immediate right, we witness Don and Lisa having an existential moment. After 26 years in the military and defending the constitution, the realization that 2 years of retirement and a 10 hour daily dose of FEAUX News might not have been such a good idea.






  • Came in here to mention how much a of a dick Maynard was to a seamstress friend of mine. It was an hour or so before showtime and she had the audacity to replace the button on his vintage leather Cavaricci pants with one that wasn’t an actual Cavaricci button. He treated her like a foolish peasant that should have been more prepared to deal with an elite. Seems kinda light considering the other posts, but anytime I can call him out for being a dick, I’mma do it.

    Edit: a letter.






  • As someone that is on the marketing side of individuals renting condos for vacations, the ones that buy the quality stuff, are able to get more revenue per booking, and a better retention. It not only applies to the kitchen, but to things you wouldn’t expect, like sheets, towels, and toilet paper. Go cheap on any of those, and you’ll read about it in a 2 star review.
