I got a good job and a car in my own name, and my parents started heavily hinting i need to move out. Sooooo worth it not living under the same roof as my dad: we can tolerate each other, even work together, but i don’t think its a healthy relationship. Nobody in his entire family can comprehend boundaries, and he’s the best about it (which is still not good and he can’t take a hint when it comes to locked doors).

Plus my own kitchen and i don’t have the heat blasting in what is already the warmest room in their house

I feel like I’m missing something here. What do the manufacturers have to do with this, beyond perhaps including HEVC in advertising content? That’s on the GPU maker, AFAIK asus/acer practically purchase them from a catalog and build the rest around that size/shape

One such expansion (Ohio, as of last year IIRC) includes not permitting new gender neutral bathrooms.
