Fuck Minimalism and German design
-
2018-03-09 at 5:56 AM UTCIt is alright for a bunch of things but niggas these days don't know shit about making an expressive or attractive product. As butt ass ugly some of the things from previous decades turned out, there was a lot of fun shit in there too. Every phone looks like a slab because they want the broadest appeal. Hopefully the "ooh shiny" futuristic appeal will eventually fall away, and we can actually go back to bigger phones (and electronics in general) being the norm, for more expressive design, and functionality.
The point of minimalism is to allow the design to be as unexpressive and as functional as possible. The point is to keep you away from distractions and direct you towards use. That's a noble goal but there was a time when products felt like they wanted to be loved as a whole; matte, textured exteriors, pretty wastes of space (like lovely curves) and ergonomics featured over aethetics. Something more Italian. Why the fuck is all this shit so boring? -
2018-03-09 at 5:58 AM UTCIdk man I don't even notice that kind of thing tbh. I'm the kind of person that when something breaks I just live with whatever workaround I can manage, even if it's really inconvenient, because I don't want to go out of my way to fix it.

German design and minimalism also encourages fragility in many ways. For example, squared edges are structurally weaker than rounded edges. Similarly, plastic is an incredibile material that is massively durable, but is ignored for cheap aesthetic purposes... And people put these phones into cases anyway because they don't want to break them. Just make em chunkier and cuter! -

It looks ugly to me, because there is so much moulded plastic waiting to get caught in something, and because it's going to be a nightmare to disassemble and replace parts.
And lets not even start fuel consumption or on the electrics.
And low profile tyres in the countryside? Seriously?
You see someone coming in one of those and either they're:
a) so rich the car is disposable
b) obsessed about what other people think of them and have low self esteemThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Goes for pretty much all Mercedes
The only ones I liked were the 190e and the SLS -

Nah, it's poster for people who want to look like they have money but don't
They spend all their money on car payments and then are fucked when it shits the bed and they still have a year of car payments left
Same goes for Lexus, but Lexus owners somehow manage to be even worse
People who actually have money buy maserati, Aston Martin, bentley, and rolls royce -

It looks like a stable or some sort of farm shed, and they probably cost more or less the same when land is taken into consideration.
Also that car is probably CGI - most of the time they choose to just render products in promotional posters. -
