Researcher dude at my uni was grading thesis defenses during the pandemic Donald Duck style on Zoom, forgot the camera, stood up and flipped a dick into someone’s life defining stressful moment.
I was thinking ‘Apple’ when I saw it, but I didn’t make the meme. So I put it in the title instead. If you change ‘prison’ to ‘designed by Apple,’ it works better.
no i mean OP. unless OP outright says otherwise, it’s fair to assume they probably have at least a marginally similar opinion to the original creator otherwise why would they post it?
It’s not terribly far off. The barebones brutalist style where the chairs are attached to the floor, hard plastic molded tabletops. Lack of items that can be moved or taken completely conveys “do your business and leave”. Obviously a screen that size that wouldn’t be that accessible in a prison, but it only adds the harsh nature and lack of human touch of the room.
“Brutalist buildings are characterised by minimalist constructions that showcase the bare building materials and structural elements over decorative design.”
I would welcome expanding my knowledge but what style do you consider buildings of few decorative designs other than their harsh geometric edges and shapes? The inner walls of a prison are often the outer wall. Just straight rows of cinderblock. Inside and outside, the structures lack other architechtural stylings because it creates hiding places or is viewed as extra work/cost during construction.Everything ends in a corner or an edge - no soft edges. As far as my experiences are concerned, that lines up pretty well unless you would rather use the word “spartan” in terms of how little decoration the state puts up.
This is a great example of how reading a WIkipedia article imparts a lot of information and absolutely zero knowledge. This, this, and this are all extremely good examples of brutalist design. The McDonald’s in the OP in no way is reminiscent of such aesthetic concerns. Both are spartan, certainly; but then, so is a lot of post-modernist design (to say nothing of the various minimalist movements throughout time). I’m not here to debate whether or not prisons are brutalist in design, that’s far too sweeping a category to sum up in one school of design and additionally it’s not the point of the conversation here.
No, I see your point - brutalism is making an interesting structure and shaping internal spaces using building materials as a limitation.
Where prisons are function-over-form and may appear to meet the style - it is merely coincidental and is not usually artistic expressionism but rather necessity to perform a task.
McShungles is just ultramodern design that comes from a Corp cheaping out
My wife prefers the madness of memorizing the offset of the displayed time versus the current time. It’s not even an integer number of hours. It’s just some random value since the last power outage.
This valueable observation will help you differentiate her from an AI imposter at some point as the AI imposter would get stuck in an infinite loop with this type of behavior.
Don’t remember that but I remeber that I would wander around the classes I got told to glue myself to my chair. I got so tired of hearing this so I ended up doing it. I smeared a glue stick over my pants and sat myself down. My teacher asked me to stand up and pulled the chair up with me and yelled but you said to glue myself to my chair. She told the story to everyone class for the next 20 years. I worked in the same area and got asked by kids about it all the time. Don’t know if anyone laugh but some clapped.
Extra virgin is like a 12yo living in normal modern day family and not attending the church (which is arguably a tautology, but I digress). The one without “extra” did one or two virgin births; still cool but not that fancy. And the regular one stars in adult entertainment videos
