psychothumbs, in So all that brutalist architecture, what if we just painted it? Not one colour, patterns to break it up.

It can’t quite get brutalist buildings to look as good as non-brutalist buildings, but yeah painting them is a great move that really improves the vibe.

paddirn, in Do the right wing women in relationships with right wing guys think it's like a draco malfoy thing where they're a good guy underneath?

I’d assume they’re drinking the same kool-aid too. They’ve most likely had a “traditional”, conservative upbringing, so women have their place and that’s just the way it is, as God intended. Abortion is an abomination, society is forcing all these scary new sexual terms on us, pronouns are just for trendy teens who want to feel special, and MeToo exposed how sexually depraved all these liberals are. I don’t think conservative women really identify with any liberal values, they’ve internalized their whole conservative worldview so much that they don’t even see the abortion debate as having anything to do with their rights.

Not sure if this counts as brutalist, but the post made me think of this example from Portland

someguy3,

Have a before photo?

DrChickenbeer,

There is no before, it was decorated as soon as it was built by the designer-- it was always intentional. (the building is like 8 years old iirc)

The Bierpinsel in Berlin has been painted in a few different ways, and looked great in all of them. Do an image search for it, you’ll see what I mean

I feel like I remember reading about a city that basically encouraged graffiti, and would rotate through local artists every few months or so. Seems like a great way to give the place some character

star wars sucks now

Marin_Rider,

I grew up wanting more star wars, any star wars! now a new show comes out and I’m “meh”

also, I’m kind of over the shift from movies to shitty streaming shows. good ones are a diamond in the rough

detalferous,

They have created the perpetual copyright scheme we all suffer with.

There’s no reason copyright needs to last longer than 7 years

JackbyDev,

Even something like 30 years feel reasonable. It’s insane how long it is.

detalferous,

There is no value to society to have it last that long. And if there is no value to society, then the system should be changed.

cRazi_man,

“Value to society” is not what rule-makers care about.

It used to be 19 years with the option to renew for another 19. Meaning if you didn’t care, it went into the public domain after 19 years and if you did care, it went into the public domain after 38 years. That seems really reasonable to me.

zero_iq,

They’ve also benefitted enormously themselves from public domain and expired or pre-copyright works like traditional folk tales etc. exploiting them and their timeless appeal for huge profits, then mired and viciously defended those derivative works with copyrights and trademarks, and refused to allow their own works’ copyright to expire. Take take take, never giving back.

detalferous,

Excellent point

spiderplant,

They also pledged or gave $2 mil to Israel recently

Does this count?

someguy3,

Need a before photo too.

Fosheze, in So all that brutalist architecture, what if we just painted it? Not one colour, patterns to break it up.

Now I just want to see big buildings painted with WWI dazzle camo.

someguy3,

“How far away is that building?”

“I just don’t know.”

Fosheze,

Ooh. I should do dazzle cammo on my house.

But then the mailperson would never be able to guess the speed and heading of my house to deliver packages.

yoshipunk123456, in What are some companies that deserve to be boycotted to death?

Google until they change their eulas wotc to stop themselves from doing this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Environment_Integrity?w…

Vodik_VDK, (edited ) in What's an amusing thing to say before going under general anesthesia?

“Anesthetic awareness.”

Misconduct,

Kind of a dick move don’t you think?

Vodik_VDK,

No; dicks usually go in an oscilating or pendulous motion, while I simply go down.

BlueMagma,

Why are there people like you…

Vodik_VDK,

Because I felt my wisdom teeth get pulled, and because I identify as a problem.

cleanandsunny, in So all that brutalist architecture, what if we just painted it? Not one colour, patterns to break it up.

Let me introduce you to Tirana, Albania which has done exactly as you suggest! They elected a former painter as mayor in 2000, and the rest is history. So many of the brutalist buildings in the city are now covered with bright colors, murals, patterns, and more. You can check out some before and after images here: blog.ted.com/9-views-of-tirana-albania-with-its-b…

someguy3, (edited )

He was asked to opt for more neutral colors. “I told them no. Compromise in colors is grey,”

Lol.

Had to look up the tedtalk www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDNgnrt_D8w

cleanandsunny,

I should have linked that too, but yes, he’s great!!

Paradachshund,

As an artist myself, I like this guy.

glimse,

I really like the solid color, the rainbow, and the checkerboard. The ones with the lines/patterns are somehow significantly worse to me

cleanandsunny,

If you image search it you will find all kinds of cool stuff! Even better if you get a chance to wander around Tirana and find hidden ones!

JustZ, in Do the right wing women in relationships with right wing guys think it's like a draco malfoy thing where they're a good guy underneath?

Stupid losers with no self esteem attracted to other stupid losers with no self esteem. Nothing complicated about it.
