Venetian Conference center?
Exactly, it’s the Venetian in Macau
People really misuse the word “liminal”.
Sort of how “literally” became to be used as just emphasis.
A liminal space is occupying a position at, or on both sides of, a boundary or threshold. But because a lot of the liminal spaces had this vague creepy empty feeling, now people use “liminal” to mean “vaguely eery” or words to that effect.
Language is evolving. I agree with you but we will lose this fight in the long term ;)
Well yes, but no, but yes.
I understand that “literally” can be colloquially used to mean “figuratively”, or just as emphasis, but it’ll take a while yet for the prescriptive meaning to be “overridden”, and given how well we record history currently, given context, it will never fully lose that meaning.
I think the same logic applies here.
I’m not going to say someone is incorrect in using it in a way that doesn’t fit the prescriptive meaning, but just know that mentally I’ll be very mildly frowning at that.
Well here you could argue that this is a liminal space because it’s in between conferences. The sense of emptiness then comes from the space existing in a transitory state between its usual purposeful states.
Not a bad argument. Well thought. tips fedora
I’ve done robotics competitions, reptile conventions, a wedding, and new hire orientations in this room. All in different places, I might add.
This could literally be in any big hotel in any city and it would look the same haha.
The classy area of the backrooms.
The room looks like 2 twin girls are gonna appear soon, and ask you to play with them forever.
No windows??
