theres something kinda hostile-feeling about all technology being black & metallic? beige was boring but it had the advantage that it blended in well with most home decor. it's a comfy hue

this in contrast to what most people think of as 'beige' these days which isnt beige, but is actually 'beige plastic with fire resistant bromides that has gone a fuckin garbage yellow brown after 20 years'

a good tip is to use the 'CW' button to put posts about politics, current events & other potentially sensitive topics behind a label–this helps everyone engage consensually w/subject matter that may be stressful for them!
