ok so this is driving me crazy

am I weird for thinking the circle of candles in the fireplace (in a house that’s allegedly unbearably cold) is weird?

is this… are these motherfuckers roleplaying a dril tweet

It’s weird, but it’s normal weird. It’s the kind of thing you see in design magazines and pinterest and the spruce. I don’t know if actual rich people do it but it’s definitely fairly normal middlebrow home decor.

(A lot of fireplaces in older US buildings are vestigial, often blocked up, and are inefficient at heating.)

it's also definitely the sort of shit you see in some midmarket airbnb's (because it's in design/pinterest/etc magazines)

The prose on that The Spruce link makes me hate the concepts of design, aesthetics, and houses.

"24 Ideas for Putting Candles in a Fireplace" sounds like a McSweeney's headline.

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
