  • Honestly I think you're giving them too much credit to say they're doing it to avoid messages. It's the same weird virtue signalling in both cases. "Not like the other girls," etc.

    It's inventing a sexuality because you think it makes you sounds smart. Ooohh physical attraction is for losers, I'm only attracted to BRAINS. I can't help but think these people would still shy away from an ugly genius

  • Not really, reddit did it fine. It shows [removed by user] posted by [deleted] and the chain stays in tact.

  • Huh, I've only ever heard women describe themselves as sapiosexual

  • You go outside. You see this. What's your reaction?

  • Unironically this. You either walk right over it or take a seat on the hood.

  • But then you won't see what the idiots at the Y Combinator-funded Hackernews think is important enough to post! You'll have to go to every news site individually to read the say-nothing garbage major publications post to hit a quota.

    Why would you want humans filtering out the trash and only posting what they find interesting?? That's not what social media is for! It should just be a big RSS feed of every billionaire-owned media empire. You fool!

  • ...what are you talking about, Doug? Where did I say anything about San Francisco?

    Do you know anything about construction or American history?

  • I also said "wide" in that same sentence. You are comparing mass housing in a small area to single family homes spread across a large area and the stereotype comes from single family homes.

    The US has plenty of multifamily buildings made with prefabbed concrete, they're just in densely-populated areas

  • What materials are preferred heavily depends on the local climate, too! Those bricks probably work great for the sweet spot Portugal is in for weather. They'd be very bad up here in the Midwest US, thermal mass works against you when it's below freezing out.

    I've done a lot of what probably sounds like brick slander here but I'm not a hater, my dream home would have a brick exterior with a wood frame interior. I've just worked in a construction-adjacent industry for a long time and wanted to dispel the misinformation this guy is peddling

  • It may almost always mean brick walls but all of that can be accomplished with wood framing as well.

  • Would you mind checking the R value of brick for me? And while you're at it, check what an insulated wood wall's is?

    Brick and concrete have high thermal MASS, not resistance.

    Again, please learn more about a subject before you speak so confidently on it. You could have looked it up real quick before posting

  • That's not really relevant though, is it? The US expansion was wide, they weren't trying to house a bunch of people in an existing city.

    And like it says, those are basically slums.

  • Ok, you must be trolling because concrete and brick have TERRIBLE thermal resistance. The same acoustic materials used in a wood wall give it like 20x the insulation.

    And if you are not trolling, you should learn more about a subject before speaking on it next time. The claims you are making aren't true

  • I'll trust your translation but now I will ask that you trust that I'm an AV engineer because I don't want to actually do the math.

    A concrete or brick wall would have to be twice as thick as a properly-treated wood frame wall for the same acoustic isolation. It would cost 2-3x as much, too, not included drilling for conduit/wires.

  • You are correct but the stereotype has a point - something like 90% of houses in the US have wood frames. What's wrong about the stereotype is the implication that wood framing is outright worse than brick as you alluded.

    The two biggest factors are speed and cost. Unlike most of the world, the US expanded wide and fast. And also unlike most of the world, the US has an insane amount of forest (even more before colonization). Wood framing has come a long way since then and a well-built house is incredibly strong.

  • I am like 99% sure you are wrong but I'll eat my words if you can show me a country's building codes that say concrete/brick/whatever is required between homes with shared walls.

    I think every country has both.
