I think their point is a good one: that there is a reason that things got this way and it’s easy to underestimate the costs associated with beauty.
I wouldn’t read it as a “beef with beauty”.
- i80and 1y agoI moved from a place that puts at least some effort into beautification to a place that slaps everything as cheaply and minimally together as possible. Both with significant freeze-thaw cycles. I'm pretty pragmatic in general. I get the argument in the abstract. But having been on both sides, I know which is better. But more to the point, the parent used a very bad example to make their point.
