I assume what you’re implying is that you can’t put a tent there. Okay, why not fucking say that then? Homeless people around here rarely use tents, for reasons that I do not know because I am privileged enough to not be homeless, and they could probably just arrange their stuff around those shapes, put their mattress between them and go to sleep - which is why “tent” isn’t the first thing that popped into my head.

Thank you for making me jump through hoops to understand a thing.

Right? It looks like there was an attempt (gold star) at hostility but they still wanted it to look somewhat aesthetically pleasing and mostly forgot about the hostile part? Or maybe I’m just not seeing most of the hostile part, that’s what I’m trying to figure out.

lol yeah, don’t worry, bit of confusion helps keep the brain agile. Very interesting video, thanks for sharing!

It’s hard to believe you’re not trolling.

I swear I’m not. It’s entirely possible that I’m being slow, but I’m really just trying to understand so I can identify these things better in the future. Because I seriously don’t get it, there’s still plenty of room to lie down between them?

Oh the browser addon. Goshdarnit. (watching now)

I feel like we’re talking past each other. I’m wondering how the weird human-shaped things added on top of the vents constitute hostile architecture - how are they meant to to discourage people from sleeping there? This is me trying to learn, I’m very aware that sleeping on vents isn’t exactly comfortable but how do these things make it less so?

Good lord, this looks impossible to keep clean.

The vents are still accessible though? And you have these nifty mannequins to hang your stuff?

Edit: honest question, possibly unnecessary joke.

That’s not very good for your skin, Bru- Batsy.

I apologise for not including a tone indicator, I do try but I keep thinking I’m more obvious than I am. It was genuinely meant as a joke, as in “no, lalalala, go away, I don’t want to hear it”.

Ah, you added context. I fail to see however how you think your title was meant to convey “I thought it would be standard Star Trek, but animated so I was disappointed because my expectation was different”.

“I know how to make myself do the thing I planned to do.”

Ah, good point. Still something OP can find out by experimenting a bit and adjusting the amount where needed.

Any effect should be immediately obvious, shouldn’t it? If your clothes are still dirty after washing, that’s something you can see/smell/feel. Anything else that your average detergent claims to do is luxury.

that only the police people with extensive, proper training and proper psychological support and a demonstrated need to carry guns should be armed

Had the same initial reaction, then I gave it a second try and I was in by the end of season 1. I roll my eyes when people say “it gets better after a while” but Lower Decks does take ~5-6 episodes to find itself. (Does Evil AI Jeffrey Combs do anything for you?)

Oh come on, “dogpiling”? It’s hard to discuss “it’s dumb and I don’t like it”. That’s why most reactions are “okay, I don’t agree”.

Well, hiding it behind “protecting your children (as a roof would)”.

But then you wisely decided to shut your dirty mouth.

I know Matt primarily from tumblr and the absolute bullshit he’s pulling over there so I’m biased. Thank you for that clarification :)
