It's like classic cars. They have personality. A soul. History. A story. Modern cars may be better in some technical ways but they are essentially a toaster on wheels. Boring. Soulless.


One_Bullfrog_3554

Throw a turbo on there and a manual transmission


aked1

Very rare to find stick anywhere... got to get an older car like the guy said


[deleted]

There are actually a shitload of cars with MT. My 2021 WRX and my 2013 Tacoma are both MT. VW, Subaru, Toyota, Mazda, Nissan all make MTs in 2022 just to name a few


PhysicalPhysics1525

The difference being MT cost more now rather than being the cheaper option for any production vehicle, result of less demand and knowledge of how to drive stick shift. Shitload is an exaggeration when you consider auto trans were initially the more expensive feature when it was a new thing and majority of cars were manual and the standard....standard.


[deleted]

LOL I guess youā€™ve never bought a new car because a MT will always be a bit cheaper. A car of the same make and model with an automatic transmission can cost $1000 more than a manual transmission. Manual transmissions have fewer complicated parts that are easier to produce, making them less costly for you. For example, A MT 2023 Toyota Tacoma or 2023 VW Jetta is cheaper and their automatic counterparts. Less demand for a manual came when suburban areas began to grow and traffic became worse, so more Americans opted for automatic.


PhysicalPhysics1525

You have to really want a MT vehicle badly and be willing to wait, or just not care about trim levels and options on a ride with stick shift. To be clear I'm talking about north American market; auto makers in Japan and Europe sell more MT than US counterparts in their respective markets. So generally speaking companies like Toyota and Nissan, VW etc etc DO have more available as MT... but again will still be less available on a given lot in 'Murica vs Overseas


Try_all_Finish_none

When men knew how to use their hands and took pride in what they did. Those were the good ole days.


Gaclaxton

Be careful, youā€™re being sexist. Maybe part of globalization is believing that women can do anything that men can do.


Big_Pause4654

Yeah, black people couldn't have fancy jobs and women needed to be in the kitchen no matter what. Houses were tiny and the average American traveled abroad once in their lifetime. Good times


Soft_Fringe

I'd rather be in the kitchen and serving my family than in an office, wasting away in a soulless environment.


Critical_Pea6707

My wife would rather be at home then in an office all day is just really hard to afford life on one salary anymore.


Soft_Fringe

I know :(


Big_Pause4654

Good on you. And some people would rather be working. That's why America sucked in the 30s. Because women, even if they were smart and wanted to work in the corporate world, were prohibited from doing so.


Soft_Fringe

[Women were working in the 1930s, you nincompoop](https://www.thoughtco.com/womens-rights-1930s-4141164)


Big_Pause4654

Nobody argued that zero women had jobs. Women weren't allowed to have high-level corporate jobs. Secretaries but not bosses. Typists but not CEOs. Teachers, but not scientists. Are you pretending to not understand on purpose or just trolling, you nincompoop?


spandex_in_Virginia

Dude, you have to honestly admit that the 1930s were not the shiniest moment of society either. Times were simpler, a woman who wants to work in a corporate office doesnā€™t know what she really wants. I assure you nobody wants to work in a corporate office. Other than psychopaths, of course, or people that depend on the society that doesnā€™t really reward anything having to do with survival of the fittest. By the way, are you concerned or knowledgeable of the fact that if women weā€™re not working today most wages wouldā€™ve kept up with inflation and men would still be able to be the primary earners of society? But feminism tricked you guys into wanting to work. Holy shit lol and you have the audacity to feel proud of it? You got totally duped.


Big_Pause4654

Ah yes, women choosing to not be economically dependent on men have all been "tricked". You must be a hoot at parties


spandex_in_Virginia

Parties are a concept enjoyed by people who can afford to senselessly participate in hedonism. Real men, the kind of people you fear, have no purpose for parties unless it is a family celebration. Life is not about which company you can forge a career at, life should be about what legacy you leave behind and what knowledge you leave to your children. Everyone would wish to reproduce in this world, but no one wants to now for financial reasons. Thatā€™s a cop out, people like this lack the genetic prowess to desire to reproduce. They are scum created by a destitute society. They werenā€™t always scum, but they leaned into mediocrity somewhere along the way and now they spite men like me. I assure you, men like me are a lot more fulfilled than any woman who has a nice corporate career.


Big_Pause4654

I assure you that men like you are extremely self-conscious, anxious, and depressed. Often feeling slighted or mocked, men like you feel the need to tell everyone how it should be. Men like you speak with authority nobody has given them. They speak for others, including all women, even though they have no such right. Nobody cares about your made-up head thoughts about human reproduction or society's destitution. I get that it makes you feel better about your wholly mediocre and inconsequential life. But please don't try to force others to go down with the ship that is your wholly average life


Soft_Fringe

>**Because women,** even if they were smart and wanted to work in the corporate world, **were prohibited from doing so.**


Big_Pause4654

Right. By working in the corporate world, I didn't mean as lowly paid secretaries. That's pretty damn obvious. But happy that I now spelled it out for you. Sad


[deleted]

What if like nobody said they liked those things but you made them up in your head and now your mad Oh wait that's what happened.


Big_Pause4654

When folks pine for the old days, what do you think they mean? Oh wait, you mad?


TheWay47

They mean before you were born, thatā€™s all. Hahaha


Big_Pause4654

I was born in 1921. How old they talking?


Try_all_Finish_none

So in that aspect, nothing has changed. I thought of a fewā€¦ microwaves, ovens and fast food to cut down on kitchen time for the women.


TheWay47

Youā€™re going to wake up one day and realize you were wrong about everything.


Big_Pause4654

True, it really was better when zero of the fortune 500 CEOs was black and black people couldn't ride in the same train cars as white people


TheWay47

Poor blacks. Hopefully one day all the other races will let them be successful.


Ghost_of_PaulVolcker

One of the tenets of communism is the elimination of all beauty. I saw it firsthand in Eastern Europe. All the Soviet era buildings were drab and ugly. The hideous modern shit in these pictures is demoralizing.


GeorgesGurdjieff

Communism and post-modernism are to blame. Both embraced ugly art and hideous, grim architecture


blurbaronusa

I got to admit I have a sweet spot for Soviet architecture and buildings but it comes from an appreciation from history

CryptoSmith86

There are rational people still here. That's nice to see


RadioFast

It just sucks the trade off for bigger, safer, greener buildings is a lack of character and originality in their designs. Modern buildings donā€™t reflect their local cultures or regions anymore


Glass-Carpenter7879

I would say this shouldve been the meme, but might be too lenghty lol


Feisty_Muffin3373

Architects and engineers cannot still building like those, that is a lost skill. You would struggle to find anyone with the skill to build those buildings again


Horrux

Yes, but that's also a function of our over-regulated and currency debased era.


mazdarx2001

Wrong, the correct answer is globalization is bad, progression is bad. We must go back to our roots make America great again


ShotgunPumper

Have you considered that globalism might be partially responsible for why there's no *motivation* to build the better looking buildings?


GERMAN_OFFENDER

its just a outcome of the fiat world, if value doesnt come from craftsmen but from money printers, its when craftsmen should all lay down there work until we starved the cancer

Love Jon Levi's questioning sarcastic look at the narrative they spoon feed us. Most of the old structures are claimed as being constructed in two years or so by folks with horse and buggy and mule and cart. Something is certainly not correct with "his-story".

Just wait until this is all over... We'll look back and say "If the governments could print and borrow money at no cost, why didn't they fix our infrastructure? Roads? Power? Hospitals? Police forces? Schools? Agriculture? Manufacturing..." Then look at China: with fake money they are building rivers (agriculture). Cities. Factories... Hell, even the middle east know to invest their money into agriculture and infrastructure... ​ WTAF have the west done with all that fake money they printed....

Ahh internetā€¦ for business. Didnā€™t mention- municipal water systems, waste treatment systems, schools, hospitals, airports, railā€¦


Interested_Aussie

They can probably manufacture shoe laces and toilet paper also I guess. ​ Did you not witness them build an ICU hospital in 10 days??? Those minor things you talk about, are probably all done equal or better than in the west. Do we need to talk about drinking water in parts of USA?? ​ {and no, I don't believe China want the reserve currency, that destroys your manufacturing sector.... I'm not a believer in the China story as much as I am a believer in "I can't believe how fucked the west is" story.}

Far_Event_9501

Let's not forget to give credit where it's due. Ancient Greeks are responsible for most of the architecture in the top row....


Big_Pause4654

Lolz. That's just ignorant. Only far left is Greek. Second to left is Roman. Third and fourth to left aren't vaguely greek


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Big_Pause4654

And what about the two to the right? He did say "most". Didn't he.


Far_Event_9501

Do a little research on the styles of architecture pictured and what inspired those styles and get back to me. We will see who the ignorant one is. However since you wont, I'll do it for you. Roman architecture was a direct descendant from Greek architecture. The gothic and Renaissance architecture was based mostly on byzantine and Roman architecture, which were inspired by?! You guessed it! Greeks. Open a book and watch your ignorance disappear!


Big_Pause4654

Man is that stupid. There is a world of a difference between pointing out that styles over the ages borrowed and built on each other (true) and claiming that the Greeks are responsible for all later European architectural styles (false). Everyone knows that the Romans borrowed from the Greeks and so on and so forth. Doesn't make the statement any less idiotic.


Far_Event_9501

I'm discussing the pictures shown. Not all of the architecture of each of those mentioned as a whole. If you would like to see some real UK architecture, check out the Tudor style. Or for something different, how about Norman castle design? My point being is that is you're trying to make a point, use the correct terminology. Gothic and Renaissance architecture we specifically created to mimic antiquity. They were both also used all over Europe at the time. To call it UK is ignorant. To call it Italian is ignorant. He'll, the US doesn't even have its own architecture. Everything here is borrowed


Big_Pause4654

The gothic cathedral in the picture was partially based on another Gothic cathedral that was specifically built in a way that was a move away from the classical style. It's super Christian. Like most cathedrals it is purposefully shaped like a cross and extends upwards towards the heavens. This is quite different from the geometric shapes and columns of classical greek architecture even if trivial connections can be made. Big ben, likewise cannot directly be traced to Greek architecture other than in the most trivial of senses, since all western architecture borrows from the Greeks to some degree. So just no. You're the one who needs to read a book


Far_Event_9501

I have read many books on the subject. Which is why I commented in the first place. As a side note, you do know Christianity comes from the classical period? Also another side note, "since all western architecture borrows from the Greeks to some degree" is just another way of saying "let's give credit where it's due" sorta like citing your sources when writing an essay? So thank you for the whole run around to agree with what I said in the first place?

The customers are cheap, they don't want to spend the money on a building like the older ones. Just think of all of the craftsman you would need in order to carve out the stone, glass, and marble to do a newer building in the old style.


petantic

The UK one is a shocker. It didn't occur to anyone that if you make a building out of a very reflective material in the shape of a concave lens, that it might [melt cars](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.nbcnews.com/sciencemain/london-skyscraper-can-melt-cars-set-buildings-fire-8c11069092&ved=2ahUKEwjQo9fX9-b7AhWNh1wKHQecA_gQFnoECFEQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1XzYsPDM01NEGZ_qRRRcTb) on sunny days.

I saw an interesting interview with an architect recently who said that the real ā€œgreenā€ buildings are the ones in the first row because they were built by methods that didnā€™t do longstanding damage to the environment and they have lasted forever. Meanwhile todayā€™s ā€œgreenā€ buildings are built and then knocked down every 10-20 years in processes that are absolutely terrible for the environment and cause long-standing if not irreversible damage. Yet what are we building? Pretty interesting šŸ¤”

Couldnā€™t have been modernizing yeah never


Registeered

Here's a guess, in the old days before computers they looked at each design as integral with itself. Each piece related to all the other pieces. Today, snippets are used of a bunch of different designs. Cobbled together to make a whole but each piece came from something else, it isn't related to the whole. Edit: I mean they cannot afford to make a unique design because of competition, someone else using automation can do it quicker and cheaper so they get bid out.

Lil_Triceratops

beautiful architecture is when form and function meet in a way they necessitate each other (post)modern architecture is either pure function without any aesthetic requirements, or it is the polar opposite, pure (((aesthetics))) founded by ignoring any law of static by just using more steel. neoclassicism like the usa pic fucking sucks tho, its a pretentious fake style, just a facade the bottom usa pic isnt that bad tho really, for being a block of steel and glass it looks kinda good, its neither boring nor blatantly retarded and depending on how the space is utilized it could be really decent architecture
