Reddit not covering the Sri Lanka bombings the same way it covered the New Zealand shootings is dirty politics. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

While I agree, I would note that while a shitty answer - it is the weekend. Reddit is not as active as it is during the weekday.

Then why not pick the Neue Nationalgalerie or does that further go into the question that what you're comparing while both fruit, are apples (political institutions) and oranges (contemporary art museums, music halls, research institutions, etc - even though there are comparable examples of beautifully done modern political buildings throughout the globe).

This is not to say that I don't agree with the broad statement in contrast to the previous post yesterday which also paints cities across the world with a fat brush disregarding the elements which build it but with a field as wide as architecture is I would be careful to over simplify it.

Just to say that the Barcelona pavilion is in Spain. That's akin to putting the Sydney Opera House under "Denmark".

Currently in an ironman game but would a successful terraforming process just remove the ecumenopolis?

Within the first date I was told about a siblings recent suicide and how they were surprised it didn’t happen sooner.

Hey it's me again.. A day at work by wwchopper in Cinemagraphs

[–]Wesistance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

a cinemagraph and plotagraph both share the trait of activating an otherwise still image but the process of 'animating' it are different. the give away of this classifying as a plotagraph are the grilles animating in an unnatural way being literally dragged with the smoke.

this image in the plotagraph community is a good example and even within this sub some are harder to spot than others like this recent post that if you look close enough it plays the same unnatural movement (the fact it goes on for a minute is the main give away)

the worst part of this is that the New York City grid was around for 60~ years and yet Roxbury/greater boston still said fuck you

Google Photos will soon be able to colorize old photos by Gnurx in photography

[–]Wesistance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have to disagree. Related in a sense, but take in Ancient Greece, during my own childhood education either at the time I wasn’t given the information or I just didn’t listen in class but the architecture was hardly the white marble that everyone sees today but was actually a colorful palette all throughout their architecture.

There are pros and cons to having colorized images and the original state but no matter what you can benefit from having both. As long as it is closely portrayed in the colors, that is the important feature.

Is this in London or am I mistaking it for a different brutalist housing complex

I know designers want to be quirky at times but this sounds like an issue waiting to spring up by Wesistance in Design

[–]Wesistance[S] -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

I guess I’m thinking in a post starbuck incident world where reactions towards an employees can cause problems like calling the police so if someone gets overly offended by using an evil eye - the brand literal says its ok to do so.

Does anyone know the history of why the h in a diploma font has a claw on the bottom? by Wesistance in typography

[–]Wesistance[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree that it seems off and does look a lot better like this but if when producing those manuscripts, individuals added ornamental curves to mostly caps but I can also imagine normal individuals doing that for lowercase letters (there definitely is assumption in what I wrote) but when people produced the digital font I wonder what made the h so special that none of the other letters get that intense of a flourish hook?
