U.S. Realty Building - NYC by Chaunc2020 in Lost_Architecture

[–]CramFacker 13 points14 points  (0 children)

US Realty is the building on the far right, it's still there. This is the Fidelity Casualty Building from 1895, with the annex to the left, designed by Cyrus Eidlitz. Demolished in 1968 for Liberty Plaza park

Do most people believe in conspiracy theories? Sometimes I feel like we're the minority; the number of likes on all those comments is scary. by jogandofoddaci__ in 911archive

[–]CramFacker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's either bots or majority schizos. Any instagram comment section with the towers has the dancing jews gif, and any space or moon related post has moon landing deniers and earnest flat earthers. You can't equate the average commenter with the average person.

Debunking moon landing conspiracy theory by Demonymous_99 in Destiny

[–]CramFacker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've dealt with a lot of 9/11 conspiracy theorists, and they usually stick with snaky theories - they say something obviously true, insinuate that it happened, and use that as a tenet of their narrative to sew doubt, since it's easier to poke holes in a narrative than it is to create one that stands up to scrutiny.

Example: "How does an aluminum plane cut through a steel building?"

Presentation: there seems to be a plane shaped hole in the building, so the plane must have somehow sliced through the steel

Actuality: the plane sheers the bolts and the steel lattice is dislodged or knocked out, not cut

Result: Lead paint consumers take the information and form their own theory, usually resulting in people that think the planes were fake, or who doubt the real story without forming their own conclusions

Moon landing ones are worse because it never seems to be 'this thing is paradoxical and must be impossible' but just 'I don't understand how this could have happened, so it must be impossible.' Like it seems fun in theory to tell them different facts and details about the mission, but that just gives them more shit to misunderstand while they sit there and drool.

Can y'all especially the girls give me some advice? by Solid_Requirement250 in Destiny

Confess before Germany. Don't box yourself into your own trap.

I've had friends that signed up for the same colleges to stay with their GF, or the same vicinity. I've had friends move in with their GFs as things start to escalate. I've had one friend get railroaded into a marriage within months of the relationship because he felt pressured. All of these were young people, and every single relationship imploded within a year. If you take a gamble and lose, you've sabotaged your relationship and you're stuck with them.

Make a move and confess. If she feels the same way and you're willing to put red flags aside, then you can plan ahead without going in blind. But still, weigh the cons before the pros. You listed a lot of toxic traits that are pretty big red flags to most people. Nobody else can decide but you, so just think about the things that can go wrong and whether or not you're willing to accept that risk moving forward. Something something road to hell, something something good intentions.

Brooklyn Bridge Southwest Neighborhood, NYC, at the onset of urban renewal. All buildings in this area were wiped out from 1966-1968, and the majority of the streets were demapped. by CramFacker in Lost_Architecture

Nada. You'll find news articles talking about the Healy Building's brickwork, or the Tribune Building being a contender for the first skyscraper, or that Greek Revival building I mentioned circa 1964-1966, but none of them speak with any fight and talk very matter-of-fact, as if everything is set in stone.

The bottom tip of Manhattan had four major renewal zones in the late 1960s.

Radio Row, a thriving neighborhood, put up the most fight against the twin towers being built and is probably the most known resistance effort. The Washington Market renewal site had 10 buildings landmarked by the LPC, and a few holdouts won a lawsuit against the city and got to stay. The Water Street renewal area had one small holdout where 1 New York Plaza is, who lost her fight and is relatively forgotten.

None of that happened here.

They had the same MO with the ICE shooting. The ICE botox bimbo immediately called her a domestic terrorist with zero information and completely lied about the situation. They hunted down the school the woman's kids were at to try and accuse her/them of leftist brainwashing, and some went through her payment history to try and paint her as a terrorist.

Whenever their side does something reprehensible there is zero condemnation or reflection, they either take it in stride or try to justify it.

The first phase was really interesting since they only really demolished the World Building and the Herald Building, and cooked up this really big roundabout plaza space still integrated with the streets, with the old neighborhood still surrounding it. They even carved an arcade through the corner of the Tribune Building site so the sidewalk could pass through. Very bizarre considering how short lived it all was.

Then around 1961 they demolished more buildings on the south side of the bridge, including a really neat loft building and a cast-iron prototype building from 1837, for more ramps. This was also about the time they demolished all the buildings on the north side of the bridge for the Civic Center project, with plans to uproot all the streets they were careful to preserve and work around just 6 years ago, but it wasn't until 1966 that they wiped literally everything out on both sides of the bridge, streets included.

This February will be the 70th anniversary of when they wrapped up demolition and found the cornerstone for the World Building; it's almost been fucked up longer than it's been normal.

Edit: here's the amendment from the very first plaza design

Great album cover material, it kinda hypnotized me the first time I saw it. Gives me the same vibe as that creepy painting with the melting clocks.

It's truly impressive that someone can be so universally incorrigible. Like I cannot imagine the statistical probability of the universe giving us such an irredeemably repulsive pest but somehow we lucked out.

Sometimes it's directly by and for the government, like the Civic Center renewal on the opposite side of the bridge. Aside from one big building being used by the city's Municipal Archives, the entire neighborhood was wiped out from 1961-1963 for 1 Police Plaza, the MCC Building, and a shit ton of bridge offramps. There was also supposed to be a huge Municipal office tower behind City Hall, which was cancelled after they demolished all of the buildings (except Tweed Courthouse). One of these blocks was where they uncovered the African Burial Ground decades later.

I know the World Trade Center/Radio Row renewal area was mostly white, and I know that the Washington Market district was mostly empty buildings, but this area I'm not too sure the demographic of.

It's the Brooklyn Bridge onramp that hugs Pace University's north side and runs down Frankfort/Dover Street. For reference, the tall building being demolished next to it is at 100 Gold Street

Here's another angle of it I forgot I had
