Chains of the same minimalist apartment with no attempt at decoration. Supermarkets where they've spent years researching where to place products and how long to make this or that aisle. Restaurants with super minimalistic design choices which leave no impact on me.

Everything looks like the interior of a hospital, or a McDonald's built after 2010.

I really fucking hate having to live near these places. Utterly soulless environment.

in their gradual but ceaseless decay and corrosion even these constructions exude dread, a whisper of corruption and doomed things
