Because its not real. He is completely right its a 19th century cargo cult of classicism. Its a modern anachronistic mashup of various old styles, I can bet if you asked an actual Greek or Roman era expert they will say these buildings combine elements 500 600 years apart.
I like how it looks but its also lazy and cheesy, I can't blame people who think we need more styles.
You’re missing the point. The styles aren’t meant to be 1-1 matches of Greek or Roman architecture, they’re rather good attempts at building and designing our governments buildings which that they harken to where our legal and cultural traditions hail from. That’s why the Capitol looks the way it does.
I’m not sure how that’s lazy or cheesy. I’m certainly open minded to other styles but they need to be rooted in western civilization. Otherwise you wind up with silly things like replicas of the Eiffel Tower in weirdly designed and inappropriate little French mockup towns, or you wind up with the lowest common denominator - Wal-Mart and strip malls.
Its literally in the name, neoclassicism. All I am saying is why did you say its "farcical" that its a modern view of an old style?
I think it is a lazy copy paste of old tropes. I know because I can see these tendencies in myself too. I like some old styles and if I had my way I could keep listening to newer bands that replicate this style my whole life. But the thing is, without the original inspirational fire behind the style its just a nice copy.
I see you had dissed on brutalism some time before, I really don't understand why. I feel at least in some ways brutalism is a non-pastiche manner achieves things like the imposing sense of grandeur and power of classical architecture.
If using dd for messing with filesystems and partitions, then I don't know how much more a gui will save you. Its an inherently scary task that needs some thinking first. Personally, that stuff always scares me gui or not.
What is there to get wrong in your flattening dir example? I'd mv the internal dir as some other name to outside say dir2, them rm rf outer and mv the dir2. Unless there is something wrong in this approach.
I would agree with the rest, I always have to look up find and xargs syntax.
You've never mis-dragged something in the GUI or had a flaky mouse button which lets up randomly while you're dragging which left your folder "somewhere" that you now have to find?
I'd argue because religious stupidity these days has increased to such a high order that in many adherents, its in the not even sane point to be even debated. Rationalists also haven't yet committed a few mass genocides and taken over countries, which is the bare minimum to be taken seriously among religions.
I'd advise finding his real identity and torturing and abusing him if he is found anywhere. We must support people in how they wish to be treated and abusing him physically with disregard to the law is in accordance with his own wish.
Post your identifications so I can tip the relevant authorities in all countries other than yours to deport or jail you on sight. I wish to help you achieve your goals so I hope you post the details. If you don't then it is safe to assume youare a spy and terrorist and should be executed on spot. Don't cite pointless legal bullshit, you dont believe in that crap.
I'm more concerned with why the logo for secular humanism should look like an angel though!? This seems like a major branding mistake for secular humanism!
I like how it looks but its also lazy and cheesy, I can't blame people who think we need more styles.
