I don't like it when one Textile is made to Look like something it isn't

For example, linoleum.
There are actually really fun and funky designs for the stuff now.
I don't understand why you would want it to look like tile, cause it never
ends up looking really like tile. (example below)




I'm also baffled by the fake plastic chairs which are made to look sort of
like they're crafted from wooden boards.


Each material has it's on strengths and weaknesses. There's no need for
something to pretend to be something else.

This is some classist shit for sure.

So people who can only afford linoleum and plastic don't deserve to have something fancy?

I'm really tired of your extreme right-wing propaganda disguised as harmless threads, Dan.
It's what you make it.

I think the real crime is using white appliances with that cabinetry. Obviously, black would have been a better choice.

You're right. That right there looks nothing like tile.
