So That Happened

Again, it’s fucking insane how the entire world is witnessing these war crimes first hand, yet none of these western governments seem to give a shit.

It’s like “Oh what’s that? The Israeli government is stopping civilians from receiving aid and healthcare? Huh, must be a day that ends in a y!”

Just…… fuck everything.

and hilariously that is not why it is called that.

It is the circle of the bears cause of ursa major and ursa minor, and the circle without bears cause ya'know opposite part of the sky.

We lucked right into that one....

#so what you’re saying is#the stars dictate whether bears do or do not exist in places

[team-bear-arms-deactivated20220]

Astrology is real but only for predicting where bears will be

[the-tired-tenor]

Bears do not travel to places they cannot see their gods

Perhaps minimalist design is so prevalent because we no longer have anything to say.

I also see a weirdly patronizing attitude towards decorated architecture and furniture

like. I was actually told by someone on here that preferring Art Nouveau design to modernism is a sign of immaturity. no joke

so there’s this strange idea we seem to have in the back of our collective mind now that detailed/decorated = childish?

(I agree, though, with the take in the notes that it’s less because we have nothing to say and more because a blank and unremarkable slate is easier to put up quickly and wipe clean as needed for Runaway Capitalism Purposes)

It also creates such an oppressive visual monoculture. A shopping centre in Kansas City looks the same as one in Karachi. It creates a uniform definition of what “modern” looks like that excludes the possibility of any other style being anything but rustic, old-fashioned, or even “backwards.”

Modernist minimalism is barely even an aesthetic choice anymore: it’s the absence of a statement.

every time i hear “very super extremely rare disorder that effects only 1% of the population” i die a little inside petition for psychiatrists to take an intro to statistics class

[phynali]

This!!!

I remember sitting in a lecture hall of like 280-320 people going … So 3 people in this room? Oh this one is 1-2% of the population so like 6 people in this room? Why is this prof talking as if no one in this room could possibly have this disorder???

Honestly Fez being raised by a pistol packing grandma explains a lot. Definitely why he drinks his respect women juice daily.

Honestly rude customer interactions at craft stores go down pretty easy because when someone acts like a jerk there's always three older women in line behind him who disapprovingly tell me "well THEY weren't acting very nice" and commiserate about how no one knows how to behave in public anymore

I think people would be less inclined t throw tantrums at Joann Fabric if they knew that all the grandmas in the county will be talking shit about you for the rest of the weekend

I’m a goldsmith and hand engraver and got told we have a client who wants a particular themed signet ring with a bonkers high budget and that I should come up with some designs for it. In describing what he said he wanted the manager said ‘he said it was his special interest’ and immediately I was like ‘I need to meet him. I can research and design this for months and months or I can listen to him for 30 minutes and take notes, which do you want?’
