Punches For:
I'll give you an example of Architect-thinking. I might've written here prior, or perhaps on Discord, or NTC.
Years ago in Italy, I and some friend were asked to come and help move a cupboard down some stairs and into a garage.
Person asking was an architect, one of the other people helping was an architect, and then there was me and another guy who is someone who advises organisations on how to make wine.
I take one look at the stairs and the cupboard, and say bluntly - we need to take this thing apart. Wine guy agreed, to the point of insistence.
Cupboard owner and other architect insisted it could be done without taking it apart. Ok, fuckit,not my deal, so we go with it.
After a half hour, scraped paint from walls and cupboard finish, there was the gradual admission that perhaps it would've been better to take the thing apart, which we had to in-situ, half way down the stairs,whilst it sat at a jaunty angle,because it would;ve taken another half hour to get it back upstairs again.
Wine guy and I took it apart in about five minutes, then another few minutes to get it downstairs and set up again. Job done.
.
My step-father was an architect, of some renown. Smart enough guy to set up business concepts beyond his well-renowned Northern English practice.
In an absolute sense, of course not all architects are shite, but by god is it a profession filled with people who have very little common sense or even a handle on their own profession.
Please allow me my rant, in this most rantiest of threads, which comes from an earnest and well-comprehended place of experience.

Food
Still home alone and had been jonesing for a pre-made tasty meal, but despite going to all of the local supermarkets, nothing stood out. They promise so much, but you know they'll just disappoint. So I've ended up making various combinations of pseudo-Levantine food circling overly-spiced chicken, yoghurt tahini sauce, salad with pomegranate syrup and lemon juice, rice and pitas.
I've particularly wanted Indian, but Sainsbury's and Tesco's offerings are shite, M&S isn't so good and my local Waitrose is quite small, so invariably doesn't have the specific things they offer in other stores that I enjoy.
So on my way walk home last night I took along diversion and went to Morrison's who do I quite a respectable 9as in filthy and oily) Indian and Lo! Two mains and two sides for a tenner. Wonderful. Too much for one, but fuckit, I wanted to gluttonise.
Bought some pre-made poppadoms because I couldn't see the fryable ones,then closer to home found a pack of the fryable ones.
I ended up eating all of it. Both mains, both sides, and eighteen fucking poppadoms. I fucking love poppadoms.
I writhed in glorious borderline-gestational agony for hours after and have shat four times already this morning. Probably more to go.
Worth it.
I might do the same tonight.

seems others share Mono's sentiment above from reddit:
Los Angeles is the biggest shithole in America and it’s not even close (I’m serious)
I have been and lived in most major cities in America, including 10 years in “LA” (west side) but in these 10 years, I can count on one hand how many times I went downtown.
I had to come downtown today to take care of something and it was gonna take a couple of hours so i decided to walk to a nearby restaurant literally like 4 short blocks away and I did not make it past the 2nd block.
absolutely filthy streets, a fucking wasteland of nothing but zombies walking around, full blown shanty towns on the street i turned around on, cops driving by and not giving a fuck.
I CANNOT BELIEVE this is the united states. how can a place be this horrid. how can the people here be the absolute lowest scum of the world? holy shit, this 5 min walk angered me so much i need a fucking Tylenol right now. this place is worse than Gotham city. I thought NYC was the biggest shithole in America but no, LA wins hands down. At least NYC is vibrant with people everywhere. the thousands of tourists help negate the zombies that roam the city.
the people running this city should be sent to Guantanamo bay with no food or water.
my fucking 3rd world city is MILES ahead of this catastrophe.
honestly, I’m contemplating getting the fuck out of this place and move down to Orange County where normal people live.
- not sure how much they're exaggerating since they thought NYC was a shithole too because I think NYC is a bit gritty but amazing._niko
