    I gotta say that is one depressing looking house. It looks like a garage with a house attached to it rather than the other way round. And it’s just so grey and featureless.

      All the new houses going up around me look like that. Except for the ones that take up almost the entire lot so they can cram a 4,000sq ft house on a quarter acre.

      Everything today is starting to suck because they’re all min/maxing. Cars are all egg shaped SUVs or boxy trucks. Movies are all reboots, sequels, prequels, or live-action remakes. TV shows are epic fantasies or raunchy animated comedies or dark supernatural dramas. Because that’s what all the metrics say will provide the best ROI.

      I wish this Gilded Age were half as original as the last one.

        Thank you for also noticing the shitty shape of cars. I guess there’s a demand there, but I hate it too. I constantly bring this up, so I’m happy someone else agrees lol

          I figure it’s a combination of three things; the level of aerodynamic engineering the industry has achieved, lowest common denominator design to appeal to the largest possible group, and a demand for storage space.

        I completely agree with you, and I also noticed cars gradually losing personality around the turn of the century, but the most egg shaped car of all happens to be the one I love the most: the VW bug. I had one ~20 years ago, yellow even, and I still miss it.

        All. The. Cars. Look. The. Same. It. Is. Like. The. 1940s. Right. Now.

        I’d love to see some sarcastic/ironic eye candy on this figurative and literal highway to hell.
