nurmie posted:also ph(maybe)uo: i hate hate hate the trend in modern interior design where you have large empty rooms with white walls and minimal furniture. minimalism sucks in general. led lights and led strips suck too, and i don't know why people insist on having their PCs and random bits of furniture being highlighted by sharp blue/violet glow at all times I agree about minimalism, it sucks and makes places decorated in that style look uncomfortable and uninviting. It's a style for people who want their homes to look like a magazine, but not a place they actually live. But gamer lighting owns. This is top tier bedroom design

I like carpets+rugs because they feel nice on my feet. I don't like carpets+rugs because they're a nightmare to keep clean.

alexandriao posted:You uhhhh. You know LED lights can do warm colours now right. They can do any colour and almost match the previous bulbs, except you can turn them brighter / lower when needed and also they take like a fraction of the energy cost oh yeah definitely! i guess i should've worded it a bit differently - "gamer lighting" is a much more appropriate descriptor. it's less about the technology behind the lights and more about the aesthetics, really

My keyboard has flowing soft pastel colours that are quite nice (and I bought that keyboard because it had the right mechanical click to the keys). Gaming LEDs is the same mentality as adding lovely spoilers and V-tech stickers to a Honda civic, only kinda more sad since at least people will see the Honda. I do really really wanna try that trend of lights in cotton on the ceiling to look like storm clouds, those seem very nice.

It's a style for people who want their homes to look like a magazine, but not a place they actually live. I saw a theory that minimalist homes is a way to brag about wealth and that seems to make sense to me. "poor" people have stuff scattered around the house, clutter on shelves. It's like how lawns were created as a way for rich people to brag about how much land they owned that was being wasted by growing a worthless plant, minimalism is about bragging about how much space you have in your house that isn't being used.

Following a trend where you have completely bare walls and open rooms with nothing of use within is. (emphasis on it being a trend you're following, and not a personal preference and desire)

I've always attributed the trend for wealthy people embracing minimalism in part to them having no interests beyond wealth accumulation.

If there's a bulb (or other light source) that would be too bright to look into, it should be behind a diffusing shade or bounced off a white ceiling or something. That's why I hate those LED bulbs that are made to look like old-timey Edison lamps:  No one buys these to hide them under a lampshade or put them deep in a ceiling can. They put them on loving display, usually hanging way too low and glaring directly into the eyes of everyone present. Bare light bulbs had always been considered unpleasant and it's a little mind-boggling to me that they've become trendy.

Edison bulbs look great outside. Get a string of them on a deck to add a cozy warm glow during the evening, it'll be lovely.

Carpet is nice but dang it sure requires a mindset of intentional ignorance We have carpet in our bedrooms and know full well carpet is never, ever clean no matter what you do to it

alexandriao posted:rugs are like carpets except you can change them on a whim Rugs are killing machines. No, seriously. There’s something about being so old a broken hip will kill you that makes you want to fill your house with rugs to trip over. I have seen Slow Death By Throw Rug at least 40 times.

alexandriao posted:Like if every time a minority states something that is pretty loving obvious (to most people within that minority), they get called mentally ill, then this isn't exactly a welcoming space is it. Its definitely cool and good that someone can freely accuse people of being mentally ill because they don't trust their abusers. Its also great that methods of speaking out against oppressors are a "classic conservative thing to say". I guess nothing has changed since the good ol' days when slaves wanting to be free was a mental illness, when women wanting to vote was a mental illness, when gay people wanting rights was a mental illness

actually yeah, music is like the most subjective and, for the lack of a better word, "brainless" art form - listening to music is almost all emotion and almost no intellectualisation (yeah yeah maths and harmony and clever melodic stuff plays a role but i dont think its possible to really enjoy music when you're busy figuring out what voicing or mode or whatever is currently at play - that kind of thing is more akin to solving a riddle imo) with art already being subjective music is like subjective squared. not saying no one's allowed to have opinions or hate nickelback, but its best to always keep in mind that its just that - an opinion related phuo: nothing rustles my jimmies more than loving whiners qqing about how "music these days is Bad and Bland and Stupid". looking at you rick beato you loving boomer-brain

Then once a week have someone spend ten minutes checking to make sure they’re all taped down. It’ll cut your injury rate dramatically and if your boss doesn’t think it’s worth it ask him what he’s spending on worker’s comp visits.

See miniature homes. They cost an absurd amount of money per square footage, and are banned in most places where they would be practical.
