Random Raves 37 - Already CFC is returning to harmony

[Kyriakos]

Well, I finally gotten around writing up a new resume.

@Bhavv: fix the tooth first, then read about tooth-fairies

This is my 1000th post on CivFanatics.

I'd like to thank chocolate milk.

 

[Antilogic]

It will disappear the moment we rave our way to a better tomorrow.

But congrats!

Yea, if you've posted in archived threads, your 10 thousandth post was a while ago

 

[gay_Aleks]

If threads weren't archived, I'd be at 9000 posts right now, but the mods just want me to spam around CFC, it seems.

 

[Lohrenswald]

So apparantly these threads are archived in a forum where posts don't contribute to postcount so that people won't hoard postcount.

But is that really reasonable?
people post in these threads anyway, and so far as I can see, the post quality in these threads are about the same as in off topic in general (take that however you wish)

Fixed that for you.

Damnit TK you stole my thunder. Was going to say that.

Thanksgiving with Cuban Communists? Sounds like a Party! ;D

(i'll show myself out.)

It was flipping amazing. We are going to the UN Mission the day after Christmas. They are a lively bunch. Party people in all senses.

RAVE: Finished a massive rewiring project today! We replaced the panels fpr 8 apartments plus the basement. This Saturday is building #2.

Communists make excellent building managers.

Although, at least the Soviet ones, still need some work in the aesthetic department...

I actually like Stalinist architecture though.

Can't beat Stalinist Gothic.

 

[Hygro]

looks like a piece from the game Hotels.

And because communists also love irony, this quarter is called "Hope". None ye shall find.

That is a facsimile of the Municipal Services Building in Manhattan, NY, USA, btw. Stalin liked the building so much he ordered one like it built on U. of Moscow campus.

See now that... doesn't look bad, actually. Not bad at all.

I don't understand the complaints about communist-era buildings. At worst, they're mediocre, and some actually look nice.

 

[bhavv]

That looks better than streets in England.

That is pretty coolish, in a 'bleak colors/industrial architecture are hip' kind of way.

If you want bad, show the infamous Snail building

Pretty horrible. It has no excuse if it was built after 1930, which it probably was, right?

And because communists also love irony, this quarter is called "Hope". None ye shall find.

This one isn't all too bad though.

My rave is that I got my COE from LaTrobe so I can apply for my visa.

Was Stalin the original hipster?
