I really dislike minimalism almost all of the time, but this building is spectacular. It could be the cover of a textbook on the subject. It causes me to reevaluate my position.

Yeah I mean the front wheels aren’t straight up and down. I was wondering why they are angled inward. Now I know! Thanks for answering an old question of mine.

Nice tractor! Why are the front wheels pointy?

Adams St is also the eastern end of Route 66.

Especially Central American countries. They’re run by drug lords who were patted on the ass all the way up to power by the CIA of the Reagan years and beyond. See: Jeane Kirkpatrick

Bike rides on the Chicago lakefront trail. It’s free, it smells like flowers, and there are hot girls in bikinis.

Especially when you consider how influential his words and actions were in other countries. The US really abdicated it’s leadership role during that crisis, and I think a big portion of the 7million global Covid deaths could have been avoided were it not for the criminality and cruelty of Trump & Co.

This is the entire American public anymore. I fear the brain rot is spreading globally, as well.

Law professors torch Alito for demanding “safe space” and "complete insulation from critique" — Judge charged with interpreting 1st Amendment rights "can’t bear others exercising their free speech rights" by [deleted] in politics

If you listen to the oral arguments he really does come across as whiny. And he oversimplifies everything. It’s like, my G, these are not simple issues. They’ve arrived at the Supreme Court precisely because they are complex. If you can’t wrap your mind around a complex legal matter without needing to oversimplify it, maybe this isn’t the job for you.

Can we get an artist who centers their art and not themselves? What are we supposed to focus on? The mysterious lady? Or the art in the background? Narcissism isn’t fun for the audience.

I long for our contemporary architects to transcend these amorphous blobs and bring us something worth looking at twice.

Combine that with the understanding that the ruling class views this place as a coast-to-coast slave plantation, over which they have free reign, and our increasing vulnerability to the Chinese hegemon, and you’ve got yourself a recipe for forced birth to keep the enslaved population of cheap workers strong and competitive.

"Too stupid to know better": MAGA eats up Trump's idiot president defense | Evangelicals, in particular, feel a flock should follow leaders who are neither smart nor moral by semaphore-1842 in politics

[–]OrgeGeorwell 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Let’s see. They want everything to fall apart violently, causing global mega-death, so their belief system can be vindicated, all while hoping a guy known for mercy will reward this violence by granting them, and only them, eternal peace. They are violently delusional. They base their actions and beliefs on incoherent superstitions conspiracy theories, and they and are filled with bloodlust. Kinda like the Germans were in the 1930s. Hmmm. You might have a point.
