I don’t know why I was born transgender, but I have no secret agenda. I want my child to live in a world where they are safe and free to be exactly who they are.
…
Fewer than 1 in 3 people report personally knowing someone who is transgender. Yet the American public is saturated with viral social media videos and political news stories, largely generated by a well-funded coalition of organizations long dedicated to making it as difficult as possible for LGBTQ+ people to go about their daily lives.
These organizations proudly advocate for the abuse of LGBTQ+ young people through the dangerous and discredited practice of conversion therapy, and they have celebrated their role in influencing Texas to “investigate” parents who’re doing their level best to support their transgender kids.
They’ve succeeded in generating national debates about excluding transgender kids from school sports, banning medically necessary health care and even prohibiting restroom usage – all under a guise of “protecting young people.” But these debates are largely missing the point.
Transgender people are our friends, family members and neighbors. They work in the cubicle next to us at the office, and they pray next to us in our houses of worship.

Engineer is just a made up title you gave yourself. Explain one thing you know about constructing towers

bro you are a fucking mechanical engineer, not a structural engineer, pipe the fuck down.

that kind that tells me that i should listen to people who actually know what the fuck they’re doing, because they probably know a lot more than i do.

that video is two years old, casey jones has actively been covering the recent efforts, im not even sure that the perimeter piling project had been started back then. Or if it was, i’m sure it wasn’t in the state it is now. So we had a different idea of it back then.
Are you just going to ignore the fact that i also linked someone who literally worked in this exact field, dealing with these kinds of problems specifically?
Sounds like you read a Wikipedia article. Sinkage sounds like you made it up. How does that make you an expert on the millennium tower?

and relative to me, you are a dumbass who happens to be a mechanical engineer.
Just because i’m a linux user, and understand how the OS functions, doesn’t make me an OS level SWE. That would make me one of the greats, i am not. I am some fuck who uses linux.
Likewise, relatively to you, assuming you don’t use linux, i’m the linux expert here. Even though i have no qualification for such title.

how many years have you been using linux? I’ve been going for about 5 years now myself.
Your statement is true. About mechanical engineering. And potentially linux, depending on your level of experience.
But the equivalent here is like me claiming that because i use linux, i know how macos works more than a macos user.
You’re falling for their sealioning and moving goalposts. Take a sec to think about what you’re arguing and where this conversation started at the top of the thread. There’s no winning, please save your energy and don’t give this troll any more attention. You don’t deserve to have your effort squandered on a closed mind.
stated to be perfectly safe by the people who own it, who are hundreds of millions of dollars in the hole on that building, because nobody wants to fucking live in a building that is unknown geological stability.
Casey Jones has an excellent series of videos on the millenium tower that i suggest you check out (he is also an engineer) and he thinks that the entire building is essentially a failed project. With fuck up after fuck up.
Specifically, the building was built entirely wrong, they fucked up the foundation completely, good question as to how that one happened. Miscommunication? If that was the case, what else could be wrong with the building? Who knows! They attempted a fix, by doing 56 perimeter pilings, but actually, jokes on you, we’re only doing 18 perimeter pilings (keep in mind the plans for repair that were suggested were doing thousands of micropilings across the foundation) and now the middle of the building is sagging away from the exterior of the building. It sure seems like it might just collapse in on itself at this rate huh?
Anyway, as for your statements as per how the rights differ. IDK, being banned from entering sports, not being allowed to seek gender affirming care. Probably a number of other funny societal related issues. I mean there is example after example in that one really.
Would you like to explain why separate but equal was never equal? And how simultaneously, two different groups, have the exact same pool of rights, even though one of those groups literally has laws written specifically about them, and what they’re allowed to do.
