For those like me not up on the hip memes: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-world-if
It's funny how know your meme has to sanitize the 4chan out of memes. The 'how society would look without x' has been a racist trope on 4chan since way before the cited examples.
So what? Are we going to bring back generational sin as well?

Pretty much any place with brutalist architecture, really. I'll happily take pretty much any revival or classical style over "modern" or brutalist style.

It's better than most of the brutalism we have around here, I'll grant you that, but still not really my cup of tea.

Art is everywhere, and starts with a simple philosophy of making things slightly less awful everyday. Initially focused on your own mind, body, and soul... then recognizing you were always part of something a lot bigger and older than most imagine. I do appreciate your poetic tone though =3
Bad bot
And bots are not "good" or "bad", but rather an imperfect mirror of statistically salient nonsense. =3

> Even just among devs, even just among devs who truly love programming, most would be doing very different work, and working for different organizations (or none at all) if money weren't the driver. Somehow I can imagine that a world where a the brightest minds of a generation didn't spend their prime optimizing ad clicking wouldn't necessarily be a complete disaster.
Optimizing ad clicking is profitable and the thing that would [partially] pay for UBI. That stops happening and money/value stop being created. The market is not 0 sum. It's good to talk about UBI, but people taking it seriously have no idea how to fund it.
This would be useful if it actually did some reasoning about the effects of aging on different materials, consequences of certain design decisions, etc. It's not doing that at all, and so it's just misleading instead. If you actually built these things and took pictures years later it wouldn't look like this. Some things would look better and some would look worse. So you can't use this to make decisions about what t…

Your image made the reddit front page: https://www.reddit.com/r/memes/comments/1qrwa2l/society_with...
I was wondering what/how many HN users clicked on the image (not knowing it was uploaded to reddit too)
But now I seriously wonder out of those 16k (as of now), how many were/are from the hackernews community and how many from reddit.
Wow, someone finally made Poland-filter. It all looks exactly like I'm used to.

(But this isn't to say that the fault's within the moderation community of HN which are great but just the issue which to me is imo that if many users flag a post, it can get flagged and the friction of getting it back is hard or a post typically ends up dying usually if it gets flagged in general imho)

I don't hate brutalism but I'd much rather have the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Exhibition_Building than QPAC, rain or shine.

Complete aside, but it's beyond infuriating I need to enable a VPN here in the UK to view this link.

I don't think that catbox is blocked within the UK.
