We get it you like circles!

The house was built in 1969. Circles were peak modernity back then!

I hatelove this house, you couldn't pay me a million dollars to live there but it is definitely achieving some kind of look....sort of like Flintstones porno set vibes.

Where do I find it? I'm using Connect but I couldn't find the button on desktop either.

 

I know there's a recent similar-sounding post but I think this is a different issue.

Someone with a racist username DM'd me very graphic porn and insults. Obvious troll is obvious yet I can't find a report button on DMs or the user's profile. Please help.

 

Not a tl;dr, just my favourite bits:

Organizers believed that the fear induced by the event would help increase fundraising objectives.

The campaign was publicized in local newspapers for a few days before the event, although the "invasion" took many citizens by surprise.

Dressing stations were set up at strategic points to treat the mock casualties; they also treated the two real casualties of the event – a soldier who sprained his ankle, and a woman who cut her thumb preparing toast during the early-morning blackout.

The city was renamed "Himmlerstadt", and Main Street was termed "Hitlerstrasse".

At one local elementary school, the principal was arrested and replaced with a 'Nazi' educator dedicated to teaching the "Nazi Truth"; special lessons were prepared for high-school students throughout the city.

If Day was successful enough to spark imitations in other communities. The US government contacted the organizing committee for details of the event. A smaller-scale invasion was staged in Vancouver, using promotional materials from the Winnipeg campaign.

The house is in Germany!

 

I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and say perhaps it's a deep freezer that is only opened occasionally, and I guess is pretty well sealed as long as it's closed.
The kitchen appears to have one of those built-in fridges that matches the cabinets:

Torches of Freedom

In the 1920s a bunch of tobacco salesmen decided that they could make women associate cigarettes with the women's rights movement. Smoking was previously seen as "unladylike", but thanks to a handful of well-placed marketing campaigns, they were able to get women smoking almost overnight. What an accomplishment!

Personally, I'm of the opinion that marketing/advertising is one of the most insidious problems society has.

 
 

When will the sub be ready?

Thank you for approving me! And on Canada Day too!
