Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
How I feel like is that at some point they reached what was at the time peak-practicality and since there was nothing more to imporove on, they started focusing on other things which seems to be trendiness. Then we started seeing indestructable materials like plastic being replaced with fragile glass and slippery aluminium, buttons and the headphone jack being removed from a more sleak look etc. It's like you have a perfect wrench but you want to make it look nicer so you replace tool steel with brass and now you've got a worse tool that looks cool.
