Please justify your outrageous opinion
I agree with him only because I've seen what lives in and beneath carpet. Even fastidious folks can't truly clean it well enough, and they definitely can't keep the moisture from collecting beneath it.
Moisture beneath seems like something that would only happen if your house is damp anyway, right?
Or live in an area with decent humidity. I've helped renovate a few houses of friends, slobs and clean freaks, and they all had an incredible amount of growth beneath the padding material. The slob obviously had it worse, and you could tell where they had spilled liquids like soda.
carpet holds on to pollen and pet dander more than hardwood or tile. This would be my personal reasoning.
I've never lived in a flat/house with carpet floors. Always tiles, wood floors, pvc, vinyl, linoleum or wood laminate. I don't think I've ever visited a home with carpet flooring. The only places I know it from is hotels and videos of really old run down ruins that need to be ripped apart and renovated from the base.
It gives me the ick, I feel like they're always dirty and dusty. Normally I'm not squeamish, but I just don't feel comfortable on carpet flooring. I've grown up washing my floors wet or swiping. It just doesn't fit into my head. However, laying a spatially limited carpet on a hard floor is beautiful.
There. I tried.
Fair reasoning! I would say you've missed out though, a nice (i.e. not horrible, old, and dirty) carpet is warm, cosy, and comfortable to sit on.
I agree with him because wooden floors with decent sized turkish rugs are preferable. You can take the rug out and beat it.
Fixed carpet is warmer, but vaguely unpleasant and makes a house feel like a hotel.

That sure looks like my old TV. The screen was flat but cropped the edges pretty significantly, even eating into the title safe area so sometimes you couldn’t read everything that was on-screen.
I need at least a plastic lawn chair and some milk crates for the tv or my back will explode. Otherwise looks decent.
Throw some dog toys and a dog in the photo, and this was me about 16 years ago before I met my now ex wife. In the bedroom was a deflated air mattress.

Give me a beanbag chair and we're in business
After coming too close to personally finding out the hard way that alcholoism does indeed run in my patriarchichal lineage...
Take out the Jack, maybe replace it with some Kombucha, or just a nice non alco cocktail, and yep, this looks amazing.
Just keep that carpet clean, eat that pizza with some plates or something, or use the other side of the open box as your psuedo plate.
EDIT: For those with bad backs, they make ... complicated pillows for this sort of thing.
... Or just put the TV up on the box some off screen Ikea furniture came in, rofl.

So glad I kept my bongos.
Well, I guess if fairlife is all you can find, it's better than nothing
Nuh uh, man. Fairlife is awesome. Dairyland is dead, man, and there ain't no bringing it back.
Don't be so harsh give the guy some time to collect enough pizza boxes f to build up
I'd at least need the TV on some crates, and I might be too old to sit on the floor for more than a little while 😂
I like a nice pair of bongos.
