There's one by my office so I stopped in to get a shower rod and curtain. Spent $20 on the curtain only for it to not have rings or holes or anything. It's just a giant sheet of fabric.
Lol. That's some good marketing.

One size fits all canvas shower curtain that suits your lifestyle. Only at iKEA™!

The exchange between GSM and KK at the end of the Palestine/Israel thread is fucking priceless

@Trotsky

Its fine to be more or less completely ignorant of the nuances of the conflict as you have clearly demonstrated in just a few posts but if that's the case then maybe have a little humility when talking about the issue.

@Khabib Khanate can this be a new popup above/below/instead of the creepy genocide one
 
@CubicleGangster, maybe you'd be down with this band. For me one of the most underrated albums at Relapse during my tenure. Three dirtbags from NC playing some unGodly mix of Punk, blues, and self-loathing.

Try this cut and if you like it then below is the whole shibang.





 
Idk about their reputation abroad, but the appeal here boils down to capitalist dogma. Americans are by and large hostile to getting used stuff. Everything has to be new. Even if you're cash-strapped and the new stuff is junk, most would prefer that to, say, getting furniture off Craigslist. I, of course, am on the opposite side of that spectrum, and most of my possessions are secondhand. But not everyone can be as awesome and hash tag woke as I am.

That's usually the case here as well, although I'd say furniture is actually one of the exceptions. Especially if it's old enough to be considered, "vintage". Furniture auctions are very popular.
 

You enjoy Napoleon Dynamite? It was polarizing here, so I would expect the humor largely isn't appreciated abroad.

Personally, I think it's brilliant. Top ten comedy for me, easily.

I have family down under who marvel at the amount of high quality furniture that's given away on that Australian Craigslist-type app. They furnish their house for free.

Top 10 comedy for me too. I’ll rewatch it soon. I’m so fond of that movie, I don’t care what people think.

Yeah, Gumtree.
Deceased estates and people leaving the country especially. That's how my brother got all his stuff. Bought a couple of recliners, rocked up with a friends lorry and the guy just said, "Hey, do you want to take everything else?". Gave him his TV and playstation as well. Just couldn't be bothered with the whole private sale process apparently (presumably what ever his new OS job was, it paid well), although it's odd he didn't have any mates he could offload it on.
That was newer stuff though. '90s and 2000s furniture doesn't seem to have much of a market. Even if it's quality.
Retro '60s, '70s and '80s stuff, along with older "vintage" or antique gear, certainly does.
