imminent

@Impitoyable @Aesthetic_City there are many cases where it is not only inspiration but straight up recreation . and not only that, but many use your previous argument to reject any sort of formalist inspiration beyond the rectangle

@Radhiqe @Aesthetic_City Quoting is not aping. Drawing inspiration from earlier styles is not creating counterfeit copies. The Gothic Revival of the Palace of Westminster serves what could *only* be a large-scale Victorian public building. No one is going to mistake it for a Medieval abbey.

This is what access points to underground parking and metro lines could look like If we tried

@Impitoyable @Aesthetic_City "we don't mark the present by aping styles of the past" yes we have, for the entirety of the history of mankind

@Aesthetic_City Things have moved on. We don’t mark the present by aping styles of the past. When Guimard was designing his Paris metro entrances they were radically new, not counterfeit versions of past designs.

@confusionm8trix it's just florence

I want a backrooms set in the backgrounds of medieval paintings because what were they on? don’t you want to run around in there?

@MikeMcBrideFLA @dieworkwear what about a light shirt is martyrdom? a tshirt shorts and flip flops is more like that, you're sacrificing any possible beauty from a fallible body ...

@dieworkwear Ehhh, just wear shorts, a t-shirt, and flip flops, and tell people who don’t like it to piss off. Nobody owes anybody capitulation to outdated fashion standards rooted in martyrdom and self hatred. Be comfortable.

Hard to dress well in the summer, but I like how men dressed in Greece, Vietnam, and Cuba during the 50s/ 60s. Many had camp collar shirts with two pockets. When shirts are made from thin, sheer fabrics, pockets serve two purposes: carry things and prevent you from feeling nude.

@abjectbaby because the performance of manhood can be equally draining

@dazi180turtle @wurtalt @thltd_ no they also use it on their bodies? by making the tea you destroy most of the stingers, that is a whole other application of the plant

@wurtalt @thltd_ Yeah taking a bundle of leaves and grinding them into tea, not torturing yourself with the stinging for absolutely no reason😂

Esoteric Health Hacks are always some variation of "I tricked my body into thinking I was dying and it rewarded me with endorphins when I lived."

@Newcitybuild @annakhachiyan the gays have pionereed cool in the modern world

@annakhachiyan Cool downtown gays? Impossible. No one gay has ever been cool.

According to the Randy Shilts book, AIDS arrived with full force on US shores on July 4, 1976, America’s 200th birthday, infecting a tight knit group of cool downtown gays during Bicentennial celebrations in New York. Doctors were able to reconstruct the timeline through field interviews with victims. This Saturday the nation turns 250. I wonder what nature holds in store for us this time.

@Zmei_Hhsss i have no idea how to find interesting telegrams 😭😭 it's all war or porn bullshit ! i want Something Beautiful

Most Rus langauge posts on here are by angry, self hating outcasts. Very similar to Americans who use Bluesky. Most Russians use Telegram. Exceptions are people who draw [or something similar] and want to share their work internationally.

@khshumai where to find this

a few months ago when I thought opium trade meant trade who smokes opium I was like wait. I have that

@BohunkSupremacy do you think this is intentional, to prevent "pilgrimages"?

There’s no plaque or anything marking the event. Though there is a McDonald’s, as you can see in the photo. It’s the same for Hitler’s bunker in Berlin. I was there a few years ago—nothing to see. They filled it up with concrete and now there’s just a parking lot over it.

This—Piazzale Loreto, in Milan—is where they hung Mussolini’s body in April 1945. He was actually executed near the Swiss border, but the corpse was displayed here bc it’s where 15 “partisans” had recently been executed by the Nazis. (The Duce feared his guys would pay for this.)

@aftertraumaco @BIMBOSATTVA_ there is lingering trauma in the villages too waiting to be relived

@BIMBOSATTVA_ Cities are the brainchild of the traumatized human. As we heal, we will move back into nature

I think as time moves forward if you're bourgeois you need to be moving to the quiet rotting rural areas because they're being emptied out and everyone is moving to the big cities The cities are just growing larger, work is becoming more abstract, the cities thus serve the work

@TheMindScourge have you never spoken to another person in a subway station?

I don’t want to have deep meaningful conversations on my commute I want to get where I’m going I don’t know what people expect. I think some people imagine the city as one endless flaneur It’s a place to get things done

@beegarte @hellspatisserie how is booze antisocial unless you're dying because of it?

@hellspatisserie booze is the most socially accepted way to be antisocial

Alcohol is more of an introvert’s drug than people give it credit for. Basically every other drug requires access to dense and relatively insular social networks. Booze? Just go to the store man

@piotr38226679 @DIAS is greece itself a macro macedonia/north macedonia situation

@DIAS I always told my Greek friends that Greece is practically a Slavic country. Modern Greeks themselves only larp the ancient Greeks. I don't think I've ever pissed them off that much. A typical Slavic outburst.

I fixed it according to actual science.

@data_courier @johndory1914 i like volk a lot lol. decent selection

@johndory1914 What restaurant is this? It’s hard to get good oysters in Berlin!

@Leila41066094 @serpentinedumb1 idk people just think i lie very often even when i'm not

@Radhiqe @serpentinedumb1 its annoying dont do it

People who enjoy lying for fun often overestimate their skill. The world's bartenders and taxi drivers are forced to nod and smile at people who think they're being quirky for doing high-school improv with themselves

@Leila41066094 @serpentinedumb1 how accurate do u find this in practice though

@serpentinedumb1 "people who aren't lying are very calm when being falsely accused of things"
