@softlxnar@venusvix333n@Absolutelyv1p They literally give her 4 months of paid leave a year. No nanny in the US will EVER get that. If this is a uniquely exploitative labor dynamic in your view then I think you have a lot to learn about the world still.
@cAc_241@finger_puppets Unless the print is perfectly to scale and can capture all the brushstrokes, changes in hue, etc it’s just not a good viewing experience for his art. Some works translate well into prints but abstract art typically does not.
@michael180966@tomhfh Their preferences should probably take precedence over those of the architectural community (who deem anything emulative pastiche). I actually like brutalism even, but this seems like a fair answer to me.
@michael180966@tomhfh There is no objective criteria by which to judge art, and architecture is art. With that said, the closest we can come is by examining public preference. The public when polled overwhelmingly prefers the traditional. Given that architecture is a visual imposition on the public,
@PedanticKilljoy@HistoryBoomer@RichardHanania If New York were actually Gotham then to be on pace with other cities in terms of crime there would need to be a constant stream of violence every minute of the day, and there just isn’t.
@PedanticKilljoy@HistoryBoomer@RichardHanania What people don’t understand is that if there is like one viral video of someone attacking another person with a machete a day then that is actually a success. Yeah a city like Miami might only get 30 murders a year but it’s a city of 500k. The saturation of events is lower.
@Alonso_GD Yeah a country with a substantial rural population, many villages not even having functioning road networks, should not count votes faster than California. If you think this is a racist insinuation you’re retarded.
@TheMindScourge Okay let’s be real here, Athens is not beautiful and 99% of the city is not historic. A 5 minute walk from the Parthenon takes you to what looks like Aleppo or Damascus. Even the so called “historic center” is riddled with horrific buildings from the 50’s-80’s.
@dlondonwortel Jersey still looks like that. Captured this from Fort Tyron. Though tbf it’s mostly a “facade” in that it’s only that particular section and behind it is the parkway separating actual development lol.
@RichardHanania@Steve_Sailer You do realize based on how IQ distributions work and the average IQ of the Congo that even with a population of 116.5 million only ~500 Congolese people would have an IQ over 130, correct? Well, assuming these national estimates are accurate, which they typically are not.
@crentist_dds@BKJester@atlanticesque The old medium density stuff looks cooler anyways. The teachers college at Columbia is probably one of the nicest buildings I’ve ever seen.
@crentist_dds@BKJester@atlanticesque Okay you can obviously get a full view of a few of the skyscrapers when walking or a good portion of the skyline from any park but this is not the same thing as seeing the entire skyline from far. In my opinion the super tall new stuff only looks good from far like sheep’s meadow
