I think she started with Y-Y-Z. :) Sorry, Rush joke…

If you got money and really want something like it there’s eBay as an option potentially.

You’re looking for a Philco Television

Good luck! If you don’t have money to light on fire you might just have to accept the dream won’t become reality.

Some people also make art pieces either with or just as smaller reproductions. So that could be an option if you want something just aesthetically pleasing but still will be pricey.

Edit: I know that eBay link isn’t the exact same model but I’m like 99% it is a philco TV on the album cover

I was looking for an original to restore but there are problems doing that:

1. They are FULL of paper capacitors. All of which have to be replaced.

2. Once you do that, the set is still black and white and has no modern inputs, coaxial and dipole only.

So in my research, I found a tiny company in Dousman, WI who bought the Philco Predicta license. Not sure if they are still making them, keep in mind this was all 25 years ago. Was $2,500 + freight shipping.

Yeah, bought them as speaker stands.

Those damn talkies ruined movies!

The origjnal is a Philco Predicta from around 1958 or so. The Philco brand existed for years and years, first as a maker of radios, then as a maker of televisions.

The retro-futurist Predicta line ran for just 2 years, 1958 to 1960.

It definitely gained a hold though and has been featured in both the Sims and Fallout games:

In the 90’s, the brand was acquired by a tiny company called Telstar who hand-made reproductions using Phillips parts, that’s who made mine in 2001.

25", full color, with composite, component and S-Video inputs. It even supports 480p video!

Don’t kink-shame.

They’re like a hundred degrees, centigrade.

“Hot” in reference to snakes means venomous, and I know some centipedes have venom, so my assumption is that.

They’ve got toxicognaths to shoot you full of venom with.

That’s a funny way to spell Cheese Sandwich.

You gotta admit part of it was probably deserved.

Like the fact that people were trying to create imaginary friend ponies using Buddhist meditation techniques, the existence of Cupcakes (and all attendant media), and the popularity of “clop” flooding Google images such that a lot of little kids probably saw pony porn while looking for pictures of Twilight Sparkle to trace….

I saw this as someone with a homemade Applejack perler bead on my refrigerator.

It is endless amusing that this whole thing started because some journalist lambasted Friendship is Magic for using Flash, /co/ got intrigued, and then the rest is history.

Praying? Look at how he is dressed… He is clearly about to go in for a 2 handed karate chop.

He’s about to tell you something that’s going to be difficult for you to hear.

To show off the stones. Also it’s another common biggie smalls pose.

He’s one of those pseudo icons or idols of weird guys who think being edgy or “deranged” is cool.

Honestly I am somewhat confused too. I think the joker movie joker is kinda incel ref because he is kinda an incel and kinda hates women (I don’t remember the movie too well)

That seems to be the dark knight joker tho. So idk.

And honestly dark knight joker is amazing. Like I like the movie because the joker is a great villain in this movie.

Incels scorn society and the world for making them ugly, no powerful jawline, no American Pie sex adventures in high school, and no nice suits to wear to their minimum wage jobs. To incels, they are the forgotten scum of the earth.

Well, The Joker is a film about an abused, poor, and lonely comedian getting his face kicked in by teenagers about a month before rising up, killing a late night tv host, and vengefully breaking Society down into chaos and misery.

So, they just think The Joker makes them look cool. That’s really it. Every time they think about shooting up an elementary school, they also think about Arthur Fleck gunning down Murray Franklin.

The movie itself isn’t a problem, But the kind of person that fancies the joker and Thanos *as role models are. It’s one thing to appreciate the dark side it’s another to idolize it.

The movies aren’t the problem.

The text behind him in the poster.

The crown and gown just make him look like Biggie.

When people online are this vague and hand-wavy, you know 99% of the time they’re downplaying some really stupid stand they took about that something a date or friend didn’t like one fucking time and they can’t let it go.

Or they don’t have friends at all, and just read all the manosphere self-victimization forums.

Edit: he got lost down the menslib rabbit hole of over analyzing everything until reality itself loses meaning and you begin to think breathing is problematic to someone, somewhere.

While I disagree with your gender-oriented spin on this completely, and I don’t think it’s nearly as common as the picture you paint (never heard anyone roasted for liking Fight Club), it does occasionally happen.

I watched the first few episodes of MLP: FIM at a friend’s house by happenstance, and within about a week of airing I told a few people “Surprisingly, it’s actually a pretty good show.” Then the controversial fans came out and I completely stopped talking about the show to protect myself. Literal years later I found out my mom had been loudly proclaiming to anyone who would listen, including distant family, that I was a “brony”. It soured a few tenuous relationships with people who didn’t know me well enough to know it was an absurd label.

Damn I’m sorry

Being a nice person isn’t bad but “nice guy” is a term for someone who presents themselves as nice and polite (but only to people they’re attracted to) and expects romantic attention in return for being nice. Basically, they think the fact that they put so much effort into being nice they deserve that romantic attention. They’ll often talk about how nice they are.

Of course, anyone who needs to repeatedly tell you they are nice tend not be.

You apparently have been living under a rock because there is a world of difference between someone who is nice and also a guy and someone being a “nice guy”.

Also the posters are red flags not because they reference nerdy things but because they show an unhealthy obsession with fictional characters who, though charismatic, are evil people who justify their violent actions with straw man arguments about power and corruption. The words on the Thanos poster put an especially fine point on that part.

Nice guy and “nice guy” are two different things

If I walk into a woman’s apartment, and one of the first things I see is something like “can’t handle me at worst”, and I <3 Dylan, posters I am probably going to end the pursuit of this relationship. I would do this because I have seen this common thread with people who do this. That common thread is that they have personality disorders, or are otherwise unstable. Pattern recognition is a survival instinct. Pattern recognition can be wrong, but this isn’t seeing faces in wood grain. This is seeing aspects of people’s personalities that they, themselves, value to the point where they spent money to display it on their wall.

Beyond this specific situation, you know how many times I have seen “it’s just memes” turn into “I am now in favor of an ethno state”? The average person to white supremacist/whatever pipeline created by the social influence of fora for “it’s just memes/jokes” is real, I have watched it happen. Feel disaffected from society? Well I am here to ease you into the idea that it isn’t your fault, it is the fault of women, and brown people, starting with some casual jokes, and memes.
