just had to look up how to lower a blind i fucking hate america

@nbsp was it the stupid cord ones where you have to pull it to the side

"oh just pull it at a 45˚ angle *pulls at a 30˚ angle*"

@nbsp
How so?

@AppleAmps idk if this is a usa thing but i got one of those blinds where if you pull a cord it goes up and then if you wanna pull it back down you have to pull the cord at an angle to the left

@nbsp
Also like why? How is this better than just using ones where there's a loop of string you turn?

@AppleAmps if there's any place who'd standardize automatic electric shutters it's the us idk why they don't have them here. they're everywhere in il

@nbsp
Huh, damn.

(Also let's blame this on it being late here but like what place is "il" referring to and what is it saturated with?)

Like in my mind there's a logic-square superposition of Israel/Illinois on one axis and Good Blinds/Bad Blinds on the other.

@AppleAmps israel has window blinds behind the window, that are controlled sometimes with a loop and sometimes with like a three-way power switch
they're also like connected so if you roll them all the way down there's no light going through at all

@nbsp @AppleAmps yes those are the norm in the us

@zebo @AppleAmps that's so fucking stupid . it feels like a practical joke . it feels like it'd be one of those things they ask on a citizenship exam

@nbsp
Ohh, alright!
In Argentina I've never seen blinds use anything other than a loop. The most high tech ones I've witnessed have some aluminum at the bottom so they don't flap around as much but that's about it.
