I've never felt so strongly about a building positively or negatively. The first time I saw it was in a documentary with the host fawning over it and it drove me to rage.

Like if you took any one feature, it's all right. A building with an elaborate entrance is neat...but it's like design vomit. A million disconnected ideas mashed on top of each other.

"Too busy" would be putting it nicely. I fuckin hate the Sagrada Familia lol

"Roadwork ahead? Yeah, I sure hope it does"

Pretty much any funny vine is better than the Sagrada Familia to me. I think it's gaudy and hideous.

If I were his God, I would now allow Gaudi into my kingdom of the afterlife after seeing that melting sandcastle abomination

He took a beautiful song and made it broody and corny as fuck. I don't get the appeal, either.

And the music video.....

Saying "often" just adds to my point. Sometimes the art IS the effort and yes, it usually takes a ton of it to make truly beautiful art....but effort is just not a requirement. Less effort doesn't automatically equal worse art.

Art is also completely subjective and OP is presenting their opinion as a universal truth. If more effort makes you like something more, that's cool. But effort is not what makes art. Art is whatever makes you feel something.

There's Vines out there that I think is better art than the decades-long Sagrada Familia, which is (imo) the ugliest structure in the world.

Exactly. If the Dems didn't feel obligated to change after Clinton vs Trump, I feel like 2028 won't be any different. They need to realize that all they are - and have been since I started paying attention - the lesser of two evils.

They need to understand that for the majority of us, we vote blue not because we like you but because we really don't like the other candidate. RCV would crush the Democrats.

I'm pushing for RCV in local elections. This is a change that needs to happen from the ground up and won't happen overnight but people really think that trying to convince internet strangers not to vote for two months every 4 years is the solution.

Where are you, Jill Stein? I guess campaigning for Putin really takes it out of you so you deserve your 44-month hibernation

Wow, you weren't kidding.

Great way to get me to hit the back button and never go to that site again. A shame because I did want to read it

I'm not defending the AI bros but....Art has nothing to do with effort in the slightest. Effort isn't part of the equation when discussing the quality of art, it's more of a footnote.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

They already do that. AI image generation is built into everything nowadays

Really wasn't into the singles but overall, pretty good album.

Richard Gere is a fuckin baller. He's banned from China because of his support for Tibet lol

 

I just moved into this house and was back there to think about what to plant and was quite happy to find this. It's behind a big pine tree and I can't see it from the windows or patio. I was just back there a week or two ago so it was quite a surprise.

I think they came from my neighbor's yard. But the interesting part (to me) is it's the neighbor on the opposite side and there's no peonies in between.

I might get some more and turn that area into a flowerbed with some ground cover.

 

Hey guys, sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this (feel free to point me to a better community) but I'm in a weird "predicament" this summer: My AMD build plans are in shambles after receiving a free ROG Astral 5080.

Now I want to make the switch now with my current (Intel i7-13700K) hardware + this new card. I was only considering AMD before but it's really hard to say no to a video card worth more than my entire budget lol

The slightly worse performance compared to Windows is still an upgrade from my 3070 so that's fine - It's initial/recurring troubleshooting I don't really want to deal with. Most of the info I've found is from earlier this year and no one speaks highly of the beta drivers

Sorry if this is a stupid question but am I setting myself up for disappointment with this new plan? I have a few more related questions I'll toss in the comments but that's my main concern.

 

Forgot I had to give my dog an unexpected bath yesterday and used all the clean towels

 

I didn't mind it last time we had this one because I was still doing baby dunfeons but boy do I hate it now. Ran a couple keys last night and the affix fucked us at least once per run. Besides the obvious bugs like orbs getting stuck in unreachable locations (on the ship in dawnbreaker, between the walkways in grim batol), we also had orbs spawn during Speaker Dorlita's Blazing Crescendo in Stonevault both times we ran it.

I thought last week's was the worst because the add spawned at the end of so many fights but I think I hate this one more.
