There are dozens of miles of tunnels beneath las vegas referred to as the "homeless tunnels."

Literally an undercity of people enslaved and tortured and preyed upon by the lovecraftian horror that is capital, all so this thing can exist looming above the city like a monument to some eldritch god, a spherical obolisk that almost defies perception.

Yup. A gigantic 2.3 billion dollar ball of light pollution with a 20,000 seat music arena inside. Capitalist Enervation.

I hate gimmick architecture! I hate gimmick architecture! I hate gimmick architecture!

Build some God damn walls. Put on a roof like God intended. Use materials and methods of construction that are in harmony with the surroundings environment. Let form follow function you sick architect wankers.

A dumbass spaceship made of gamer lights is not architecture, it's cringe.

The LET PEOPLE ENJOY THINGS crowd has already mobilized the YOU MUST BE FUN AT PARTIES rhetorical carpet bombers on reddit-logo

I love "you must be fun at parties" because it's completely defanged by just saying, "yup, I sure am." Because at that point "nuh-uh, you're boring and lame and nobody likes you" is just such a weak response. I've seen that shit turn the tide on the reddit voting hivemind all at once lol

reddit-logo people tend to build on a foundation of passive aggressiveness and unchallenged presumptions.

Your tactic works in the same way that some edgy asshole stupidpol screaming "WHO CARES/NO ONE CARES" can get shut down easily by declaring that you care, everyone that already posted an opinion cared, and that includes the edgy apathy evangelist that cared enough to post "WHO CARES/NO ONE CARES." the-more-you-know

I am very fun at parties, the last one I was at I started a very stimulating conversation about scientific socialism that lasted for hours even when I went to buy smokes and came back 15 minutes later people were carrying on.
