@adamscochran@summersun5280@RileyVande38311 I just recently learned that Graham is the son of a fairly well known and successful architect, Warren Platner. This helps explain a lot of his bio as a spoiled/troubled rich kid, and a not very smart one who fell quite a ways from the tree.
@Obi_Wan_Gump@bethanyshondark Let's be fair though, Liz has had to deal directly with Susan Collins. Can't blame anyone for grabbing for a potential lifeline.
@TexMillionaires@fake__brad Architect here. The architectural licensing exam requires demonstration of structural competence under the three categories of General, Long-span, and Lateral loads- We are perfectly capable of designing structures.
@rhustyphina01@CoreyWriting It really is folly to underestimate AOC's savy and intelligence. Her dad was a licensed architect with his own practice and they were close. So the most important person in her life was a businessman in a field which demands high levels of technical and legal acumen.
@desertveteran@LuluGNavarro That Independents are more aligned with Democrats should tell you something. But also, that Trump won in 2016 and 2024, but not 2020 because only that one was “rigged!?! Really, please try some critical thinking ( i.e. assume you have it all wrong and try the opposite viewpoint!)
@Yangoon@whi87854488@OnlyInBOS@one The sign is there because Wilbraham is the headquarters. They make the ice cream there. I grew up a block from the original store on Boston Rd in Springfield. The one I knew as a child at Berkshire Ave and Bay St. closed. It’s now a Chinese restaurant. 😢
@desertveteran@LuluGNavarro That graph shows both Democrats and independents are more likely to acknowledge the country’s failings and the reality of things in general, whereas Republicans prefer to remain proud and ignorant. So yes, it is very on brand.
@LuluGNavarro@MZHemingway The replies to this are indicative. In the very small minds of these ignorami, only combat veterans can get PTSD. Sad to see such a lack of empathy.
@RunBurgundyBets@HighbrowHaze@jeffhusted One foot to his right and he'd have blocked it completely (instead of partially as he did) Just terrible positioning. Especially when favoring the far corner so much more than the near.
@tigertmoore@Viralvid_89 Best answer (thank you!) and I’m a licensed, practicing architect so I know. Usually horizontal rows of barrier tapes are used as a warning (at 30 and 60 inches high). But it’s a major liability to leave it like this. Never mind any codes, just think: LIABILITY!
@anonymous_36676@TheOmniLiberal Because the Republican Party is an unacceptable mess by comparison. At least Democrats believe in fact based things like science.
