And what do you recommend to hang on walls, for decorative purposes, besides family photos?

Mine are blank and barren, an empty canvas for the maniacal decorator in me, after carefully negotiated with the family.

    I didn’t realize until my mid 20s that having a house without pictures and wall hanging is weird. It was also when I learned that if you don’t have enough lighting it makes a home feel like a mausoleum.

    The answer as to what a person should put on their walls depends on how based a person is or how much they don’t care about what others think.

    If you want to get non-traditional with it, hang up movie posters, collages, video game posters, etc. Whatever you like and like to look at.

    If you go traditional and normal, then art is a fantastic idea. Go to your local thrift store and find old art that they have. Local estate sales are also good.

    Personally, I love to commission a painting or two from the artist themselves. Etsy and fiverr painters love to make custom art of whatever you want if you have the money. You’re looking at spending anywhere from $10 to a few hundred depending on the size you want.

    It’s always fun having a painting of your pet remade in the style of Edvard Munch

      based

      I’m hoping that groovy term fades into the tubular before I have to understand what virtue it’s actually signaling.

        ‘Based’ means that you are very proud of what you have done and what you are doing and that you don’t care what anyone else thinks.

        It’s like if IDGAF (I don’t give a fuck) was an adjective.

        I used to not like to learn these ‘new’ terms myself, but this one is an objectively positive to the human language.

        I don’t see the point of denying the growth of a language in my lifetime just because I become older. I hated it when my parents did it, and they hated when their parents did it… so I’m breaking the cycle
