Why do all the new TVs expect me to have a platform AS WIDE as the fucking thing?? Fucking shit!! God awful absolutely dumb thoughtless design choice
luckily this is just a 32; i had a 70 from the same brand with the same INSANELY FUCKING STUPID STAND DESIGN that i had to find something for....literally at the most extreme edges of the thing, what the fuck is this? this is so fucking stupid, it cannot be meaningfully cheaper than a proper design and it looks fucking dumb as hell and surely this has pissed off 90% of people that wanted a TV and want to put it on a little stand like a normal fucking person right??

What do you do if you want to hang a picture frame? Glue it on?
They recently passed a law which said you could install picture hooks "within reason" without being penalised by your landlord. Prior to that if you installed a picture hook you'd likely be charged for the cost of re-plastering the wall when you left. Although they wouldn't actually re-plaster it, they'd just charge you as if they had and then the next renter would have a picture hook so lucky them.
But major mods like installing a TV mount are totally out unless you can negotiate it with the landlord somehow. If you did it without permission it's grounds for eviction and a loss of your bond.
come rent in Australia and find out
Do y'all not get earthquakes in Australia? I'm gonna go look that up. I'm curious.
not really, at least not most of the country. small ones sometimes
You just had a 4.8 magnitude off the coast on the 22 of November at 19:02:55 UTC. https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us6000lq51/executive
On average Australia experiences about 100 magnitude 3 or higher earthquakes per year. Pull the other one. It's got bells on.
Also, you absolutely are allowed to mount furniture to the wall in Australia to prevent injury or death. This was literally a 10 seconds Google search.

that was an unnecessarily aggressive comment.
I sure love being lectured about Australia by clueless yanks though, especially when they quote laws from one state that doesn't mean shit elsewhere. and your earthquake "research" is consistent with my claim of not many, mainly small, and not everywhere. so kindly go fuck yourself
