Here are some things that remind me of Sindome.
HubWeek in Boston has a twofer. I'm talking GEODESIC DOMES and an entrance made out of SHIPPING CONTAINERS. #cyberpunk
And then there's this Geodesic Dome AirBnB I stayed in in Vermont.
This was a real sign that was inside it. I swear to Bob.
Saw this on my way home from the train in Cambridge...
Abandoned parking garage by my apartment...
The discerning eye will see why I posted this one...
Then we got these geodesic sticky notes... bad ass.

What reminds you of Sindome?
By Slither at Oct 10, 2017 10:35 AM
My friend is an architect and the repurposed shipping container craze drives him crazy because they make horrible building material. They have like zero insulation and a jillion problems that make them more expensive and less practical in every case. They're just kind of room shaped already and that's all they've got going for them.

Everything you just said is exactly what qualifies them as the living spaces of our dystopian future.
By Slither at Oct 10, 2017 4:36 PM
Especially how they're literally trash and well-meaning wealthy people keep trying to turn them into living spaces for the poor. =D

Places that remind me, although this is very dark:
- The danger of a deep urban street. Detroit, Philly, Chicago - that's Red. Looking over your shoulder all the time when you walk. Identifying the person nearest you and assessing how much of a threat they are, especially if their face is covered. Always having an escape plan when you are in an unfamiliar setting. The faint, ever-present anger of having nothing but dust in your hands for a life, and the resentment that grows when you see others doing better than you.
- Slowly dying (physically/emotionally) of poverty. You get sick and can't get to a doc. Some things are dirty; you just accept it. You see people with bugs crawling on them and they have a resigned look on their face, and that look on their face is appalling to you because you're afraid that might be your future.You take drugs or alcohol to forget because it's the easiest to get your hands on. Small things that make you happy can be big. Small things that make you sad can make you feel utterly helpless. Hey... was your skin always this green? You don't remember anymore.
- The justification and disconnect of transitioning to a better life. You're in shock at first. New things, such clean and new things are unfamiliar to you. It feels sanitized and you get a pang of guilt of having so much of everything available for consumption. You realize you should have been this way all along. You feel angry at yourself for defending your old way of life. You start to wonder why some don't try to better themselves too, and angry at those who hold others back in that old setting. Or maybe you forget entirely and in a want to purge your old memories like a packed-away box, and you demonize poverty itself and those who are stuck in it.
- "Poverty is not a crime -- it is suffering."

So...this happened today. My partner went to do me a solid while I was dealing with some paperwork and offered to post a citation on a unit at one of our prominent gang apartment complexes. It's renowned for shootings, drugs...very pleasant environment for anyone in any position of law enforcement (NOT). Anyways, he calls me that he's there and posting and then ten minutes later calls me back in a panic because the adjacent unit next to him just blew up. Windows exploding around him and doors-blowing-off explosion. I heard later that when he called on the radio for assistance, he sounded like a pre-pudescent girl yelling for backup. I have now nicknamed him 'Screech'. All I could think was 'welcome to the Mix, BAKA."
here's the article for any non-believers heh.

And, no...no one was injured. Unless you consider a grown man's pride a casualty.

Thrift store chic looking chummers carrying big ass sound systems around central Brussels on trolleys or backpacks, blasting their street music to the corpie masses. Some even have instruments like electric guitars hooked up so they can grace you with their talent for noise rock.
Beggars with cheap or even high end but out of fashion electronic devices, browsing the net on the city's test run of IRISnet, a city-wide free wifi service with a totally not suspicious name or logo and very trustworthy corporate backing.
That in Brussels, as a common citizen, you can't change the style of your street-facing WINDOWS without jumping through legal hoops like a scalded monkey, but big construction companies can go over the height limit for their buildings without repercussions. When the ironically named Bellevue (Nice View) building is discovered to have a great angle into a building it wasn't supposed to on its illegal top floors, instead of doing anything that would upset the construction company, what happens? The government changes the WINDOWS with bulletproof ones and adds blinds to the offices. The important ones, anyway. Screw the wage slaves. Let their tax money pay for corporate bullshit and let them rot.
Immigrants from Africa getting dropped off at random in Brussels when their drivers encounter the smallest inconvenience on the most direct route to the embassy. Good luck getting help at 9PM when you're black and look like a crazy-ass mixer unless you bump into an unracist chummer to help you out.
Any corpie advertisement these days. They speak volumes about the kind of people the corps think their clients are.

A friend passed me this blogger's horror story of selling Younique makeup products. I took a read of it and it fully documents someone turning into a money-hungry person, only to realize what they've become and attempt to get out of it.
A near-corpie experience. Even has undercutting and backstabbing with business practices! A great read if you want some corpie lit.

Fifteen blog entry "chapters" but pretty fun and thorough. Hope it inspires someone a little.

Husband was watching some DnD-ish movie today about tabletop gaming (The Gamers and The Gamers II: Dorkness Rising). A scene happens with a series of roll checks for someone trying to steal a bunch of stuff off an npc. Weapons, money, and then his pants.
I start to rant-- "What about the other npcs there? They just trashed that place, now everyone will know what they did. Why aren't they attacked by anyone? The bartender serves them after stealing a guy's pants??" Husband says I'm rules lawyering.
I say, "No. I play Sindome, dude."
By Supermarket at May 6, 2019 7:47 PM
Oh my goodness, Supermarket! I watched that in the background at a friend's place. I came in near the end of one of them where they're fudging things with a cat on the table.
The part that really got to me (which nobody else who was watching seemed to empathise with) was where the lady made the wish to bring the NPC back to life and then got negged by the group, the one asshole with the gross facial hair being like "You could have wished for anything, ultimate power, and you brought some useless garbage back to life? Why did I think it was a good idea to bring you to play? You ruin everything!"
And she shoots back, "It's what my character would do!"
That was such a powerful scene in an otherwise silly movie.

I'm looking to match wits with someone with plans, yet still gon' get your ass kicked.
I'm searching for that man, I need one to be the ganger to my lawman.
Tell me are you clever and cool?
Do you want to force the dome up under your rule?
Are you at least 5'8? It's rather specific but this I can't break.
About me, I'm Withmore's savior. Vanilla ice cream is my favorite flavor.
And I work a 9 to 5, so I'd like to fight crime from like 6-9.
Are you evil? Tell me, how's your laugh?
I'm seeking someone with a troubled past. "Destroy the world" is all you desire.

Hey there, I saw your ad is that position filled yet?
If not, please consider me and my specific skill set.
Eager, self-starter, diabolical, scary mad.
I'm the type of man you're looking for - Very Bad.
Verbose, sociopathic, yeah I'm a sexy brute.
Just under six feet, just over in my Xo3-suit
You should see my island lair, it's kind of a holy place, collection of bloody capes, displayed in a trophy case.
Tell me, do you roll with a team or only solo so far?
You've got a sidekick? Cool I've got a crowbar, and a masters in murder with a minor in killing.
My favorite sound's a tie between exploding buildings and crying children
Weaknesses? Hmm.. I guess it's hand to hand combat
But my henchmen will handle that end of the contract.
I look forward to this, hit me up if we're a match.
