You can talk about other discussions taking a place in Archinect and make cross references to a particular link, picture, response and whatever else you deem necessary or entertaining or thought provoking about the other thread. thus the name: Thread Central

* hey did you read on --------- thread ------- thinks frank gehry is good. hahahaharhar..
or,
*i can't believe he said that. how stupid of him. asshole.on top of it he is got hundreds of posts. gimme a break.
or,

or,
*****Thread Alert******

or,
*i am thinking about starting a discussion about ------------- ---- ---- will you guys in Thread Central post in it and say wow it a great thread?. it was about time 'somebody' (insert my name please) picked up on it.. and discuss it?

RickB-Astoria, you started your latest diatribe here, for no good reason at all, by asking me directly whether I planned to "Assassinate the President-elect." That's a very seriously wrong thing you wrote there, and you should banned from this forum for having written it. Not only does it demonstrate that you and your way of thinking are completely inappropriate for this forum, but this forum itself is not a place that should allow such a person and thinking to be part of it.
No one here should ever have such a question directed at them, and thus I ask for the support of all others for having you banned.

Balkins, there are many people on here who have children and are women. yet you chose to single out Donna. That's really discriminatory. Why should she be singled out? Why are you making these judgements about her character without even knowing her? She hasn't even said anything to warrant her being part of this discussion. You're a sick man. And you were banned before because you don't belong here. You violated community rules. get a job. ban the balkins.

I'm more worried about Ben Carson being HUD secretary. He has no knowledge and probably doesn't give two shits about housing, which will end up weakening desperately needed programs.
This season on "Idiots on Parade": A sleepy neurosurgeon states (through a surrogate), without a trace of irony, that he's not qualified to run a government agency due to lack of experience mere months after running for PRESIDENT OF THE UNITES STATES.

Yup, you are right to be worried. They have put someone in charge of Housing that genuinely does not give a rats ass about equal opportunity . Guess his only qualification is that he can give free handjobs to Donald Duck.

Well. TC at the bottom of the page.
I had a nice enough Thanksgiving - the dinner and company and landscape (northern Michigan) were wonderful. But I spent most of the time working on side projects that I can't say no to, in part because I can't say no and in part because I really need the money.
But I have to say: things are bad. Really, terribly bad. All I see in people is ugliness. I'm finding it difficult to be hopeful at all, about anything beyond my wonderful husband's ability to get shit done and my incredible child's ability to always make a perfectly-timed and -directed smart ass response. Both things to be grateful for! But I'm scared for ALL of us and I don't have a problem admitting it.

gruen, without asking you to reveal too much: is your wife involved in an industry that stands to be damaged by a trump presidency? Like mental health care for children or advocacy for seniors or the environment or anything? Because my friends who are involved in working for the most vulnerable in society are the ones who are feeling the most panicked with fear right now.
I mean, I could likely float through the next four years without being much affected. But, ya know, empathy is a thing, and in my case it can be paralyzing.

sen bluto, trump actually being president despite being unqualified and staffing his whitehouse with washington insiders or white-nationalists is only part of the problem. the fact so many people voted for trump is a problem. people who were sexually abused are now saying 'my abuser is in the white house and i don't have a voice anymore.' that opens old wounds that are hard to heal. mexican-americans are asking if they will be deported if their paperwork isn't quite right or if they will lose family members. muslims are told they don't belong here.
as a white man, i know i'll be fine no matter what, even if white nationalists take over and muslims have to register. the trump administration will support me and those who look like me. attractive women will still have a place in that world as well. unfortunately, i can't help but empathize a little with those who don't look like me, which kind of makes me think i need to stock up on guns and liquor, just like the people who were afraid of obama's government.
