Same to you! Great to have a civil discussion in the comments here! Rarely happens!

They were going to be dropped off with no food, money, or shelter anyway.

Wouldn’t this kind...of be a good thing for most people they’re trying to target?

haha yea they are good films. I get what you mean, and I apologize if I sounded flippant about people who appreciate games as an art form.

Lol at trying to distinguish AAA action role-playing games from “mindless marvel movies.”

I think part of the ridiculousness is that “Fetusberry” and those gamers who derive self-worth from beating a video game seem to have forgotten that it’s a video game!

Yep and I think part of the ridiculousness is that “Fetusberry” and those gamers who derive self-worth from beating a video game seem to have forgotten that it’s a video game!

There being more important things in the world does not mean that it’s not an issue worth focusing on.

Well it isn’t a lot of fun for infants either. But they don’t get a choice in the matter.

Depends on what you’re buying. There’s some risk to buying used furniture from craigslist in the form of introducing termites, bedbugs, other pests to your home - which could eclipse any “savings”. 

Basically, I think the thing is - cheap stuff at Ikea is crap, expensive stuff is decent.

Well the obvious thing you’re missing is that, the SUVs getting 30 mpg are usually hybrids or crossovers that are actually just the same size as the small cars, just lifted higher. And if you compare to small car hybrids, like the Prius, you’re indeed looking at 60 mpg.

Ahh yep makes sense. But yep, point still stands - hour + trip to a multi-state area, you’re gonna get a disporportionately large amount of customers only willing to make that trek if they’re buying a loott of furniture, and combined with all of the other aspects of ikea you’re going to see a lot of people only going…

Yep, and I’m pretty sure after that one time trip, you weren’t going to Ikea again to replace something everytime a chair broke down or you needed a new laundry basket. It was that first onetime big purchase, then you just replaced things along the way from other stores (whether upgrading to higher quality, or even if…

If you build up a list of everything before hand, Ikea has a service where for an extra 30 bucks they’ll send someone around to grab everything for you.

Haha, well by large portion I think I mean almost all =P But yes I think you’re underestimating how much the Ikea audience self-selects.

Since Ikea is probably the place of choice for most people’s “starter furniture” there probably is a large portion of people who really are there furnishing a home for the very first time.

I’m guessing because it doesn’t involve marinating meat, just vegetables? Assuming you’ve washed the vegetables appropriately before hand. 

Mm yea, it’s both.

I’ll break it down.
