The Loss of Choice

Contrasting wall and ceiling accentuate the shape and architecture of the room. The huge (probably fake) palm tree compliments the custom vertical blinds.

Today we’re going to stay in the ’80s, but the bachelor uncle aesthetic overlaps about 4 decades. Mid century modern late ’60s stuff into the early ’90s make up the core of the vibe. Not everything from those decades. Only certain things.

Since the ’60s, we’ve had amazing advancements in technology and manufacturing, but style had devolved from an infinite palette of choices into an achromatic mess of blandness.

Whoever lives here fucks.

Refrigerators in the ’50s and ’60s came in pink, red, white, blue, yellow. Then we moved into the ’70s and we got Avocado, Harvest Gold. Pink and White and black options extended into the ’80s. But now? White, Black or Steel.

We can make things better than any period in human history, and we choose to make boring bland spaces that aren’t for anyone. People spend their whole lives in homes that say absolutely nothing about them.

Say what you will about gaudy excesses of the ’80s aesthetic and the absurdity of Memphis design – but they are NOT boring. They don’t have rules. They are alive with life and color. They are bright and unique. They look like SOMEONE WEIRD AND COOL lives there.

Tucker thinks this looks like Adult Chuck E. Cheese.
I think it looks dope. Look at all the subtle nods to Art Deco!

You don’t even have to be rich, as evidenced by the 2nd picture. Lighting, color, shape – these are all important things that give a space an identity.

If I have to see another white wall or tan carpet I’ll die.

  4. I run a vape shop directory and we have had a posting from a vape store in the United States that also sells CBD items. A Calendar month afterwards, PayPal has written to use to claim that our account has been restricted and have requested us to remove PayPal as a payment solution from our vape shop website directory. We do not retail CBD items like CBD oil. We simply offer internet marketing services to CBD companies. I have taken a look at Holland & Barrett– the UK’s Top Health Merchant and if you take a good look, you will witness that they supply a rather substantial series of CBD goods, particularly CBD oil and they also happen to accept PayPal as a settlement method. It appears that PayPal is administering double standards to different companies. Because of this restriction, I can no longer accept PayPal on my CBD-related site. This has restrained my payment possibilities and currently, I am heavily reliant on Cryptocurrency payments and straightforward bank transfers. I have sought advice from a barrister from a Magic Circle law firm in London and they explained that what PayPal is doing is entirely not legal and discriminatory as it should be applying a systematic criterion to all firms. I am yet to get in touch with yet another lawyer from a US law practice in London to see what PayPal’s legal position is in the USA. In the meantime, I would be very appreciative if anyone here at targetdomain could offer me with different payment processors/merchants that deal with CBD companies.
