kipo was so fun…. at the beginning of every episode when they had the title card hidden in the background and it went WOO! that never failed to make me go :-)
Only in New York City would you find a pink & green apt. like this. It’s in NYC, but it was inspired by Mexican design.
The long green counter is amazing.
The sofa looks cushy and comfy, but it’s so light, I’d be afraid to sit on it.
The dining table is behind the sofa, but it looks quite a distance from the kitchen in the background.
This is supposed to be a state-of-the-art kitchen, but where is it? I can make out a pink sink & faucet. Is that a burner in the middle? No idea where the fridge is- maybe one of those doors, but what about an oven? This is weird.
The bedroom definitely looks Mexican hacienda style.
The kitchen is very turquoise and modern- look at the tub. I wonder how you turn the faucets on, I don’t see any taps. What a unique apt.
I updated the app even tho the new logo is dumb and ugly but i still have three phantom message notifications that refuse to go away i hate it here i hate it here
I think like, the death of Vine and Rabbit, Wikipedia constantly needing to beg for money, Discord depending so heavily on venture capital, Facebook turning towards spying on users to generate a return on all the venture capital that got them started, Adobe creative suite turning into a subscription rather than a single product you buy, the strangulation of streaming entertainment as every company pulls their content and makes it exclusive to their service, are all great examples of how like, it really doesn’t matter if something is legitimately useful, efficient, or beloved, it is next to impossible for a service to exist if it doesn’t make shareholders increasing amounts of money year after year. Which may seem like a “no duh” type of statement, but it’s a very simple window into how the profit motive makes products and services worse, not better. And how that’s not just a matter of certain companies or ceos being bad and greedy on an individual level, but is an inescapable factor of an economy where existence is dependent on generating capital.
