🍗 Deathfat Anna o' Brien / Glitter + Lazers / GlitterandLazers - Fat, drunk, consoomer attention whore who would rather eat and drink herself to death than endure a single negative emotion

[DuckSucker]

Anna's dad is not "money". Comfortable, but not rich.

I mean for what its worth the reason she's able to throw cash around like she does is because for a long time Austin was a working class city.


Very few people outside of 'coastal elites' would be able to throw down 700k for a house in cash and then just go 'Well actually Im kind of bored of it, I wanna live in hotels!' The wealth inequality plays a factor in how people see it, that gap is pretty big. And a million is gonna go a lot further in Akron than Austin, too so.

Shes definitely someone who has the 'Once I buy this, my life will change!' mentality,

Austin real estate has become completely unmoored from earth.

Granted, the last time I lived there was over a decade ago but in those days you could easily get a nice downtown apartment with granite counters and all that stuff for under $2K/mo.

This is why, as someone who has lived in Texas most of my life, I don't understand why someone in 2020-present is moving here with the idea that "the cost of living is so much lower." The cost of living in Austin and Dallas and Houston isn't that different from any other major city, once you factor in relative salaries and prices of other things.

Over a decade ago would have been probably before all the gentrifying and shit around the early 2010s, I remember a few years for like 6 or 8 months there were something like 125 people moving to Austin every single day, and there was a huge push for more housing and student housing and shit, and it never really stopped or slowed down.

Every time I read about the real estate shit and housing market I have to think theyre playing a different game or reading different news, the housing market in cities is still retardedly hot.
Shit out in like Bastrop, Lockhart and shit is being priced as 'metro area luxury'.
Texas is actually a shitty place to be poor, its never really been blue collar, its closer in line with California actually in terms of climate and culture once you get out of the cities.

Being that it's on the south end of the domain, it is about a 15 minute walk in the Texas heat for a normal person to go to most of the bars and restaurants. . She is nearer some restaurants but they aren't the trendy high end ones.
So I'm not sure why she picked that location unless there is some person of size friendly shuttle that can cart her around.

Even if she had the will and/or ability to walk to her destinations, the surrounding area (like most of Texas) is designed for cars. That probably appeals to her since she never has to contend with the fact that some people do, in fact, walk.

Spoiler: Urban design sperging. TLDR: it's Texas and she ain't walking anywhere

If Anna wanted to go to Donut 7 across the street for a dainty dozen, it would take 2 minutes to drive there. But since she can't fit behind the wheel of a car, let's assume she's considering walking the 0.3 miles.

For someone without candy juicy thighs, it would probably take 6 minutes. So for Anna, it would probably be 12. Let's imagine she's not in a big rush.

You might notice that the most direct route would be to walk out of the main entrance and go east, but unfortunately for our influencer, that's going to be difficult.

If you were a normal person, you could try and make a run for it anyway.

Spoiler: This is not advisable.

So Anna would have to take the longer route. While not particularly scenic, the portions on Altera and Kramer would be fine. There's a few trees, but the buildings would provide a modicum shade. Crossing Burnet, however, might pose some problems.

It's Texas. It's the dead of summer. Anna O'Brien weighs as much as a male Atlantic seal. She is about to cross Burnet Road and get her goddamn donuts.

Between her and her donuts: six lanes of arterial road; about 140ft.

Spoiler: The scene

Poor woman. She can fit in the sliver of shade provided by the pole because she's not built like an SUV, but she's definitely not having fun.

The light cycle is going to be long. Anna will have to press the button and wait until she's allowed to cross. This requires patience, so Anna might struggle with this. But she'll struggle more once she has the signal.

Assuming she makes it this far and tries to cross, she'll have to contend with this slip lane before she gets to the other side.

Spoiler: Slip lane of doom

Then she'd have to walk to the Donut 7, at which point her chafing would require medical attention.

And then do it all over again to get back. Or get an Uber.

A normal person probably wouldn't choose to walk around here for their daily errands if they could help it. And Anna is not a normal person.

 

[Crepidodera fulvicornis]

And then do it all over again to get back. Or get an Uber.

Jesus, these places were never built with humans in mind. Humans with less than two working legs — even less so.

I have nothing to say, sorry. My family never had a car, but here I think, having a car would be #1 requirement to exist, before anything else.

From this confirming shes in a high rise and hte kitchen plan it looks like she may be at The Quincy in Austin, but hard to know.

Good lord the risk to the neighbors below her with her foundation-shaking tiktok dances.

 

[Barbarella]

She said that she never felt at home in the suburbs, and she wanted to live in a more artsy place with restaurants and bars and stuff to do nearby and walkable.

Yet she chooses something even more isolating, like a hotel only not. At least in the ‘burbs she could get numerous deliveries from the various food delivery companies to her front door without eyes on her. Now what, the delivery people have to go by front desk, go up 14 floors to drop food off? What type of security is there, do they sign in? Or do they leave it at the delivery locker “amenity” meaning she’ll have to come down six or seven times a day to pick it up? Somebody is likely to notice hourly food deliveries.

Anna does have a car though, doesn’t she? We’ve seen photos of her driving with Data on her lap. Tess Holliday still fits in a jeep so there is a car for Anna. She’ll have to also pay for a parking space, go down the elevator, walk to her car just to get those donuts. If she goes grocery shopping she’ll have to carry bags up, and going down and up will mean she limits her purchases to what she can carry in one trip. She can’t breathe after a few feet.

I think after a month, she’ll miss the suburbs. Sure, she’s in a luxury apartment, nice view… which is going to be very inconvenient for a deathfat who wants to leave the house.

Does she not think before she does something? Why she didn’t just buy or rent a smaller house closer to places to go with no HOA is beyond me.

Well, at least she can fit in the shower.

 

[Baked Snack Crackers]

For now.

Are these apartments built by cookie cutters? This one looks exactly like the pre-princess castle one.

 

[Barbarella]

Virtual tour shows this one with a bench. But I assumed she got floor plan B2, which could be wrong. We’ll see eventually.



However, the toilet could be an issue:

I actually think the completely soulless corporate look is exactly what Anna likes.

(It really is horrid though.)

Builders use what's cheap, trendy and inoffensive. Even upscale homes now have a lot of MDF and veneer. Unless you get a boutique builder you're getting this kind of shit.

 

[Maggots on a Train v2]

$5000 a month, and you still don't get a door between the toilet and your living space. Imagine living that way as a couple.

it's a pocket door almost assuredly -- but still, it had to appeal to perpetually single and shitting anna to have easy access.

 

[Helena Handbasket]

Do any of the chi chi apartment complexes in that city have a retail/restaurant kind of set up on the ground floor, like what you might see in a place like NYC? Like - here's the entry to the lobby, but there's a little cafe space on one of the corners, or a dry cleaner, or convenience store? Some place that might serve the general public, but is obviously very convenient for the residents in that building. Or is that not done in Austin?

Because I would think that would be her dream set up - especially if there was a place on the ground floor that would deliver food right to her door.

I hope Data enjoys the neighborhood, anyways. Maybe he'd get to play with a buddy at the dog park area, if Anna doesn't freak out the other residents too much.

Buildings that go up around the same time tend to be made from the same stuff, except a century ago the cheapest thing you could build with was brick. Now most buildings have HardiePanel siding.

Spoiler: It's all cookie cutters

It ends up costing a hell of a lot to build at this scale since mandatory minimum parking requirements mean that you're going to be building parking for every unit that goes up. Every unit has cost the least to build and bring the highest return. In practice, this means a lot of "luxury" apartments since that's what makes the most sense financially.

Spoiler: I don't know how this is a luxury

Anna has money, so it's strange that she chooses to spend it like this. She hasn't always lived in Texas, so I don't really understand why she chose to keep living there. At this price point, she could easily live somewhere else and it's not like she has any strong ties to the state, unless I've missed something.

It can be done, but the developers would have to file for a zoning change, since that's considered a "mixed-use" property. Zoning dictates what can be built in a place, so residential is usually the path of least resistance. IN NYC, those businesses are viable because there's a customer base beyond the building itself from surrounding foot traffic. But Anna's building would only be convenient for people in the few surrounding buildings. From a business perspective, that would be pretty risky.

She would definitely love to be able to get her fix without ever leaving the building, but because she chooses to live in Texas, it's gonna have to be delivery.

EDIT: forgot a picture

Yes.

It can be done, but only in committed relationships between people who have long fuses and no children.

What's MDF? "Medium density particleboard"? That stuff that's why everyone says American buildings are made of cardboard?

Quick interruption to the apartment conversation, but I heard something today that made me think of Our Lady of Hiking: for every pound you're overweight, 4 pounds of pressure are added to your knees. Do the math on that and marvel yet again that Anna's knees have not been reduced to dust.

Now, back to apartment talk!

I understand your point but living in the domain is more about being able to walk to things within the domain, not across burnet. There are other apartment complexes in the domain that are closer to the bars and hip spots, she just didn't choose them I'm guessing because they are not as luxury as hers. Only the Bowen is ostentatious enough for her.

Her building has a fancy cafe in the bottom floor that is open to the public. It is close walking distance to Maggiano's ( mid range Italian) and a few other food places. The hip party zone is at Rock Rose and that is on the other side of the domain

It's not like anyone thinks she's going to rock up and sit on a small child or something. It's the spectacle itself that we find so objectionable.

Also curious how you went from "there were no MAW kids" to "Anna wasn't allowed near them." How would you know?

I did not say that Anna was allowed to have children with them. I said that if a Disney staff member is not going to say "damn" or "shit" for fear of losing their job they are definitely not going to allow an adult around children in their care that should not be there. Please re-read. I also will stand by my statement that there were no "make a wish" children on the ship. Please I will ask you again by all means prove me wrong.

I made a post a while back that the Wish cruise is in no way affiliated with MAW and largely a charity fraud. Idk why anyone thinks there were groups of sick kids on this contrived media cruise.

Thank you.

Thanks. I missed your initial post. Well, that makes more sense, I guess.

Sorry for the trash can and puzzle piece, @TC-P. I'm a fat dumb retard. I already ate all my Adderall for this month and I'm not feeling too sharp. Still friends?

In other news, RIP to the poor saps who are spending $5k per month to live directly below Anna.

Sorry, I posted before I read this. No worries we all make mistakes. I make some doozies all the time. One of the wonderful things about this site is the amazing people who seem to be able to uncover the truth on everything. So we all live and learn. All the best.
