H.P. Hovercraft posted:gently caress you i want arcologies and i want them now yeah the thing is the units in these buildings cost $20 million or more. they're super tall and super skinny, so you have maximum window frontage and minimum usable sq footage it's not like these are megatowers for ordinary human beings to live in. nobody needs more glass-walled monuments to the phallic might of the capitalist class

Do you have too many friends? Do you absolutely hate when someone wants to hang out with you? Are you the kind of person who is far too important to field a text from each individual friend and would simply like to put a big "Do Not Disturb" sign on your life? Well get excited, because your new favorite app just hit the iPhone and it's ready to tell all your annoying acquaintances to bark up someone else's social tree. It's called Red/Green, and it's the quickest way to feel super important. The idea here is that you'll adopt a very binary way of approaching your social availability. No more "Anyone want to hang out later?" or "Let's go to the movies tomorrow" for you. It's all about the here and now. When you're busy -- which is all the time because you're awesome and super important -- you switch your status to red, which means "Go away I'm too busy for your weird friendship stuff." However, on the off chance that you're not jet-setting or taking your significant other (who is a model and also a movie star) out for dinner, you can set your status to green, to signal all your inadequate friends to come running like sheep to slaughter. Oh, you're on the outs with certain people in your social circle? No worries, because Red/Green lets you keep those grudges going by allowing only certain people to see that you're available for friendly interactions, while the rest of the plebeians will be given a big middle finger. Isn't the future wonderful?

the best part about talking about india and the tech scene is that you can't really say much about 2014 india without sounding a little racist. they unified as far as work ethic goes and now you're a terrible racist if you point out that they have institutionalized academic fraud and a 'do just enough to get paid' culture

there's a diagram somewhere showing how many floors of some apartment building were actually lived in by people and how many are uninhabited and owned by holding companies (it's most of them)
