You're the one who drew the contrast in the first place! You characterized it as outside the mission and now you're trying to say it's part of the mission. Come on.

This DE looks quite a bit like DOS - or at least the UI seen via apps within DOS. I'm definitely getting Turbo Pascal 5 vibes. Not 6, though, because that added ASCII drop-shadows.

It reminds me a bit of chindōgu, the Japanese art (?) of useless inventions. There's a particular delight to ingenious, but absurd or useless creations.

You're talking absolute nonsense and failing to read what I've written. Your scathing review is simply wrong. Again, you have zero design credentials in your profile. You don't dictate what design is and is not.

I think now in design, it is more important than ever for your work to cut through the noise and show at least some attempt to create something original. From what I've seen, at least half of design work is "make it look like x

Government control over transportation No idea what you mean. Public transportation? If that's socialist, then any functional, modern society is going to be socialist on your book. If you mean control over private transportation,

I am not a Trump voter, but here's my understanding of what they're hoping for, economically speaking. By devaluing the US dollar, American manufacturing becomes more appealing to other nations. I think it's generally bel

It's arbitrary in the sense that the process to arrive at that line is arbitrary and could and has yielded myriads of other lines. That seems like a meaningless word salad. Human versus non-human is a clear, objective delineation wi

In the 90s, there was an airbrushed style that used layered effects, drop shadows (which I assume were at least partly an influence from early computer GUIs), and "peeling" effects. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any go
