I mean it’s not even really close to the same thing, no? It’s a single use street and the use is “retail” and maybe a bit of food. The closest thing would be the ones with a string of cheap shitty apartments across the street.

I genuinely have zero idea how you came to any of the conclusions you did based on what I said. Maybe there’s more context to the comment you were originally talking about, but nowhere did I ever even imply that artists should “aim for” or pander to the common denominator. I’m saying that, no matter the artists intentions, no matter how obvious or on the nose the messaging is, there are going to be cops with Punisher tattoos, and teenagers with stolen cars and guns listening to Kendrick Lamar. If you make a movie about how the Nazis were psychopathic fascists who eventually get destroyed, there will be people who can’t get over how cool their aesthetic was. None of this is to say that this art should not exist, I’m not detracting from the artists. I’m pointing out a flaw in society. Messaging in art, no matter how well crafted, will never say the same thing to everyone, for better or worse.

This way, even those who don’t drive still pay for oil! Capitalism!
Yet when we suggest doing the same for healthcare it’s “socialism” and a bad thing
- Comment on Anon wants to live on Super Earth 1 week ago:
Why are you talking as if their argument is completely nonsensical or novel? It’s kind of a known thing that even if you portray something as “bad” as possible, there will be a number of people that look past/ don’t see the criticism of the subject and take the creation of work as a sign that the subject is to be praised. Look at the music industry with gang violence, misogyny and drug use; lots of more modern artists make music that shows how these things harm society, yet casual listeners will put on a song about alcohol abuse to get drunk at a party.
It isn’t necessarily that the artist is advocating for it, so much as they’ve produced a work that can be misinterpreted (unintentionally or otherwise) to do so.

- Comment on What a nice blue and black dress. 1 week ago:
I always saw it as black and blue, until I was scrolling Reddit (as was the style back then) and saw a thumbnail for a meme that had the image of the dress in it. I didn’t pay attention to the thumbnail before opening it, so I only noticed a vaguely light colored object. But when the image loaded full size, the dress was the distinct black and blue I’d seen before. I backed out and took a second look at the thumbnail, and again it looked white and gold.
Now that I’m thinking about it, it could have been the surrounding colors of the screen that effected how I perceived the dress. After discovering this I recreated the effect by taking a screenshot of the dress while zoomed out really far (to essentially turn it in to a thumbnail on its own), but both that and the Reddit thumbnail had a dark background that may have made the dress seem lighter in comparison.
- Comment on What a nice blue and black dress. 1 week ago:
I’ve always been able to see both colors of the dress by changing the size of the image, so the phenomenon “made sense” to me, but I legitimately have no idea how that image is supposed to explain it lol. There’s two different colored dresses with seemingly random parts highlighted with different colored boxes… are they supposed to look the same in the highlighted area or something?

Eh, the examples shown imo were 50/50 improvements vs downgrades. First few were good, couple looked really bad, then a few good ones again. I suppose it’s subjective. As long as it’s just an option that can be turned off I don’t think it’s that bad.

I fly a lot for work. Last month, I was landing on the air strip as my next flight began boarding. Managed to make the flight but fuck I wasn’t happy.

The best is when you have a string of connecting flights that get pushed further and further back.

🤓 that sim card would still work, the smaller sim cards are the same chip just in a smaller plastic housing, you can cut them to size and some of them (like the one in the photo) come with premade lines as guides

Odd to mention sim cards specifically if that was the intent

Tests often have more than one variable, but if you change more than one between tests, you don’t know which variable is responsible for the change.

Yup. I’d log in, scroll for maybe 10-15 posts before I saw the first one from yesterday, play some Wild Ones, and that was that.
- Comment on Just like Drax in that Guardians of the Galaxy scene 1 month ago:
I’m trying a new system of DM’ing in-person DnD games where I’ve got my laptop plugged in to a TV everyone can see, and my players pass around a wireless KB+M to move their tokens around.
It works well enough, but I have to remember to “give them the cursor back” when I’m done doing things on the laptop screen, otherwise they can’t find it, haha
