Nah this sucks actually.

Firstly Ratchet is explicitly Anti-Functionist. Cherry-picking 2 lines of dialogue, and then wildly extrapolating some crazy conclusion while ignoring his participation in anti-government resistance groups and explicitly stated positions and actions doesn’t change that.

Secondly this is condensing wider cybertronian societal issues into just Functionism.

The discrimination against against Cold Construction was based in spiritualism on pre-war Cybertron not necessarily in Functionism. While the discrimination was obviously wrong, Cold Contruction (the putting of sparks into pre fabricated bodies instead of allowing the spark to shape its own) has explicitly been a process known to have side effects related to the quality of the body.

Starscream’s body dysmorphia and resulting body swapping being the premier example. Megatron also mentions a similar sensation in his talk with Ravage “This nonsense body flickers where others once flared” logically the bodies of some Cybertronians “flickered” their whole life.

The process of Cold construction was dreamt up by Nova Prime for the express purpose of cheaply and quickly creating more manpower to field his dreams of Imperialism with no regard to the quality of the bodies or the feeling and thoughts of the sparks used. After his disappearance the process was primarily used to create more manpower to work manual labor jobs, and then later to run bodies into the meat grinder that was the Great War (MTO’s).

Being anti-cold construction (as a process not discrimination against any bots who are) is not Functionist. As the process was dreamt up by an expansionist imperialist Prime to make as many bodies as possible with not regard to the well being of the created life, so obviously there would be observable side effects. Such as ability of fine motor control.

Not a huge fan of the blorbo apologist style of post, like at bear minimum Pharma is a mass murdering hypocritical cowardly narcissist (slaughtered dozens of comatose Autobots to harvest their organs and when push came to shove was willing to kill every single bot at Delphi to save his own life, then whinging about how Ratchet didn’t respect HIS bodily autonomy and right to HIS parts when presumed dead after his mass murdering for organs stunt is just rich to me)

and while the fuctionist undertones are somewhat up for debate (Personally I’ve always been one that gets that vibe, super rich successful surgeon on functionist Cybertron who goes on and on about “worthless decepticons” and who tried to save his own ass by pining it on a Decpitocon defector who was know as FAMOUS for being forged but that’s just me)

The rest is not. just love your little blorbo I love Starscream and he’s Pharma on steroids. Like the character you like can be a shitty asshole it’s a character you don’t have to justify their shitty actions as “actually making sense if you ignore the narrative and there past actions”

Ratchet expresses more Functionist beliefs on-screen than Pharma ever does send tweet

Still very starteled by this...very long man Lira had to remind herself to close her mouth. For a second she still wanted to pretend but she knew that nobody was stupid or naive enough to believe her after that delivery. "Nice house." she mumbled teasingly. Pretending to be bored at him Lira scavanged the purse she had stolen for a fancy looking wallet and a pack of cigarettes from which she triumphantly stuck one into the corner of her mouth before she tossed the purse. As the stranger meantioned her carreer coice, Lira scoffed and raised an eyebrow. A little bit too offended. "Excuse me, beanpole, did I ask you for advice? What do you know? I'm, in fact, really good at this, okay? I've been doing this forever and I'm, let's say, prepared. And I have a...business." oh, you mean the contruction site you call your 'bar'? And why are you antagonizing him? He could be a cop or whatnot.

People sticking their noses up into other peoples businesses reminded Lira of herself. Which made her think of it as an endearing quality. Symphany points for beanpole. "So...you're not gonna call the cops?" she shifted her tone a little -trying to sound flirty which was never her forte- as she lit her cigarette.

"long enough." cryptic much? "and this is totally my house," sam mirrored her speech. seeing her expression, the way she came bolting down the alley beside the house and hid while digging through the purse? yeah. sure. he believes her. as much as he expects she believes him after he put that confession right out there. so they're both committing crimes. birds of a feather? though he's not so sure sneaking into a former crime scene to get a better perspective and look for clues is the same as stealing some random person's purse and making their life a little bit of hell to replace what's inside. the only "stealing" he did was grabbing onto some papers he stuffed in his pocket. things to show dean when they met back up again. pot calling kettle. right? or.. something close to that. either way. neither one of them needed the other dialing the cops at the moment. did they? long legs carry him down the rungs of the fire escape with ease and he lands on the ground beside her. "i'm the last person who should be saying this. but.. you should find a better hustle. especially in a place like this. one of these days? you're gonna try that on someone who starts shooting." did he just give her a lecture? sorta. a little one. all things sam lecture considered.

Buying a condo in NYC? Here's how to tell if new construction is quality construction

Prospective buyers of apartments in new buildings in New York are faced with more choices than ever before. Beyond the questions of how big an apartment you're looking for, at what price, and in what neighborhood, new construction brings the added variable of whether the construction work is any good. No seller or landlord is going to tell you his or her work is shoddy, but choosing wrong can turn your dream apartment into years of headaches and expensive contractors. So how do you know you're getting quality construction in a brand spanking new building?

We asked around. Here's what to look for, and what to ask.

Engage your senses

The quality of the construction of a building isn't just reflected in what you can see. It's also in what you feel, hear (or don't hear), and even smell, and you should start evaluating at the front entrance.

"Your experience should be a good one from the first door knob you touch," says Steve Glascock, president and managing partner of Anbau, a condo developer with projects including Citizen360 and 207W79. Glascock encourages prospective buyers to take a deep breath upon walking into his company's buildings, because their duct work goes up to the roof for a supply of air that is then double-filtered.

"It makes a big difference to people," he says.

Sound Advice

One of the biggest issues affecting quality of life in any building is noise, and solid construction will incorporate multiple ways to protect residents from errant sounds, from any number of sources—the street, the neighbors, your own kids in the next room. Everyone we spoke to talked about the importance of noise control.

"It's part of what makes urban living easy or hard," says Doug Steiner, president of Steiner Equities Group.

"People don't think about it when they're looking," says Russell Goss, an architect, licensed contractor, and CEO of New York City-based Blueberry Builders. "Then they move in and their neighbor flushes the toilet and they hear it and they have to deal with it."

Quality windows, specifically soundproof windows, will help cut external noise.

"We live in a busy urban city, but that doesn't mean we have to listen to traffic in our apartment," Glascock says.

Anbau buildings have acoustically attenuated windows, which reduce noise with three layers of glass and lamination. Another bonus: these types of windows, installed in a Chelsea building near where a pressure cooker bomb exploded last year, injuring dozens, sustained damage in the blast but did not shatter.

Also when it comes to windows, you want solid casements and rubber gaskets.

"If they feel light and flimsy, they probably don't perform very well," Glascock says.

There are some things you won't be able to tell yourself, but that you should ask brokers and contractor about. Architect Barry Rice recommends inquiring about any acoustical testing conducted, and the sound transmission coefficient, or STC, for the building, which should be disclosed in the building's attorney general offering plan. He offers a rating of 40 as solid, and anything upwards of that as great.

Rice notes that in the smaller buildings (four or five stories) more often found outside of Manhattan, sound leakage can be more of an issue given the lightweight construction materials that can be used in building them. High rises are more robust due to the concrete and steel their heights necessitate.

Floor construction should include an acoustical isolation membrane, as well as a subfloor, to which the flooring material is attached. The big point is that you don't want the surface on which you're walking to be adhered to the concrete slab that is ultimately, the literal floor of your apartment. Why do you care about your floor so much? Because unless you're on the top floor, it's also your upstairs neighbor's floor, which is kind of your ceiling. Either way, a membrane and subfloor are the hallmark of thoughtful, quality construction.

You also want floors constructed using a leveling compound (a cheaper way to do it is to shim sub-floors), and Glascock says that if they're wood floors, you should ask how many sandings they can endure. "It should be about seven or eight," he says.

Similarly, walls should feel and sound solid—try knocking on them. An insulation material called sound attenuation batt can be used to help cut noise between apartments and rooms within apartments. Another construction technique to reduce sound transference is to stagger the spacing of studs in walls.

The Steiner Equities Group knows a thing or two about building acoustically sound spaces, thanks to its extensive work in film and television at Steiner Studios in Brooklyn. The Deuce, The Wolf of Wall Street, Girls, Men in Black 3, Zoolander 2, and The Affair, are just a handful of productions shot there. In addition to soundproof windows, the company's condo buildings incorporate two layers of sheetrock in hallways, sound-muffling air gaps in elevator walls (also knows as cavity walls), and additional soundproofing in communal amenity spaces and the walls between apartments.

Finally, there are some design elements that seem like they might offer some sound protection, but really don't unless they're done well, at significant cost. Rice points to pockets door, particularly in rentals, where it's doubtful a developer took on the expense of doing them right.

Design language

An apartment in a quality building will also reflect a thoughtful design process and function well. For example, if the layout of the kitchen feels odd, it probably is, and it may have been compromised because it was too expensive to make it right.

"You want to get the [kitchen] triangle right," Glascock says. Also, "If the door of the bathroom hits the toilet, that's awkward."

Has the living room been reduced to the size of a postage stamp to make a one bedroom a two bedroom? How big are the closets? Are there any?

Steiner suggests looking for redundancy, which when it comes to engineering is a good thing. He defines redundancy as "the inclusion of extra components that are not strictly necessary to functioning, in case of failure in other components." His prime example: two elevators, so that tenants aren't relegated to the stairwells if one elevator fails.

"Having one elevator is an easy way for buildings to save money," he says.

It's not just about the design of the individual apartment. A quality building will be thoughtful about the layout in both public communal spaces and practical areas dedicated to helping the building function. Rice offers as an example a mailroom that can accommodate packages in an organized fashion, as well as deliveries (such as groceries) requiring refrigeration.

Stephen Kliegerman, president of Halstead's property development marketing arm, points out that if a building is still under construction, common spaces are often the last ones to be completed, as the individual living spaces are a priority and some wear and tear is expected with move-ins. In that case, he recommends checking out renderings.

"Things like furniture can change, but is that space reflective of what's in the marketing materials? Does it look like the same thing you were sold?" he says.

Materials and fixtures matter

Not everything is conceptual. Some aspects you can see and feel. Is the hardware on doors and cabinets substantial? Are the doors solid core doors?

"I hate flimsy doors—even on closets," Steiner says.

A telltale sign of a stock kitchen (as opposed to a kitchen custom-designed to the space) is the use of blank filler panels. Of course, you want high-quality appliances in your kitchen, and while no one brand was identified as the gold standard, Miele did come up a few times. Glascock notes that higher-end appliances will feature (or have the ability to accept) panels, instead of being limited to stainless steel.

He also names less obvious (until you really need them) fixtures and features in outdoor spaces, such as gas hookups for grills, hose-bits for water, and a surface that will drain well, as indicators of a building constructed with care.

Thoughtful aesthetics matter, too. At the Bauhaus-inspired development NOMA on West 30th Street, senior sales director Tim McCarthy points to a consistent look and quality throughout each apartment.

It's the little things

Bring your A-game to checking out the details in every room. Does the kitchen have soft-closing drawers? Are the hinges on the cabinets substantial? Are the cabinet doors level? In the bathroom (or anywhere tile is employed): are the grout lines even? Is the pattern matched well? Is there a tile askew? Is the sealant on the bathtub and shower done well? Other things to consider: Is the closet set-up more than just a rod? Are the light-plates and socket covers straight? Do all the outlets work?

Paying attention to these kinds of details is important for a number of reasons, according to Halstead's Kliegerman.

"Those are some of the things that are going to bother you for years to come, and they can be costly to fix," he says. Additionally, "If they're doing things like that well, that care most likely carried through to other areas of the job that you can't see."

Enlisting proper professionals

Goss makes the point that many nice features (large windows, HVAC, and NEST heating/cooling systems) need to be installed by people who know how to do so correctly, and that that kind of information isn't checked by the city.

"The more you have, the more there is to break," he says. "What's the warranty on the NEST system? Was it installed by a certified NEST installer? It probably wasn't. [If it breaks], now it's your problem."

Similarly, Goss would ask if a third-party waterproofing consultant was brought in, as those large windows are prone to leaks and often aren't airtight.

Many of these issues aren't on the radar of the average apartment-hunter, which is why ultimately, Goss recommends enlisting the help of an architect or contractor who knows what questions to ask.

"Bringing in someone with a construction background may be worth the cost," he says. "Otherwise you run the risk of being taken advantage of."

Track record and transparency

It's not just about what you can see, feel, hear etc. It's also about the paper trail (or lack thereof).

Rice recommends, first and foremost, getting the development's offering plan, which is on file with the state Attorney General's Office. In addition to nitty-gritty details like ceiling heights, acoustic performance, et al., the plan will identify the key players in the operation.

"Any good real estate attorney would probably recognize the names of the contractors involved," he says. If they don't, that may be a red flag, and you should do some research to check them out. Part of your due diligence should also involve finding out if the developer or contractor has ever been sued.

And while no bank will give you a loan if some very basic filings don't exist, Ross says it can't hurt to ask if the project is signed off by the Department of Buildings, if the certificate of occupancy has been acquired, and if you can get a copy of the ACP-5 form (indicating a project is not an asbestos project). It's less about the specific information requested, Ross says. Rather, "It's, can they provide the information? How organized are they?"

Responsiveness

Even with the most well-intentioned developer and contractors, things happen, and how a developer responds to requests speaks volumes.

"Problems will occur. It's construction. It's not an exact science," Kliegerman says. "How your developer responds to your concerns or problems is as important if not more... Some developers do the minimum amount [to fix things]. Others go the extra mile and want their clients to be happy, and be repeat customers. They realize a little extra work goes a long way."

more streamer au! 141 task force.

part I

when he's not streaming, simon works as a day labourer in contruction. simon likes it because he can just. work. it helps him keep in shape without having to be a desk job or a cashier somewhere.

it's physically tolling but rewarding. he used to work every single day without rest, but with his new channel he takes sunday off to record and check in on his mum.

when simon turned 18 was when everything turned into gear. he had enough money saved up to rent an apartment his mum and brother could move into. away from his drunk, abusive father.

that's why he worked his ass off every day to support his recovering mother and his drug addict of a brother.

but despite being a streamer, his family and friends take first priority. doesn't matter how much or how little he makes. what matters is that his mum is in a better place and that his brother can get help.

he had moved in with you a few months ago because it was an easier commute to work that way. closer to the city, but an easy drive over to his mum's apartment in case of emergency.

he still uses the pc setup in your room, but it was starting to feel a bit inconvenient. simon didn't care as long as he got the job done, but you knew this setup was going to get worse with the limited amount of space and random recording equipment.

so while he was off at his job, you had one goal in mind. renovate the empty basement into a proper streaming room. that included running around and buying those funny styrofoam pannels that's supposed to go on the wall.

it took a few hours to buy what you wanted. you got this really nice desk, LED lights, and a high quality microphone from ikea. bless ikea, because really this little project wouldn't have been possible without it.

you painted the room before you set anything else in it. you knew that simon liked monochrome colours, so you had a different variations of light grey, dark grey, grey and black around the room.

you set up three pcs in the room. all decked out with nice microphones and double monitors to make it easier to see the recording and chat. you really don't know why you bought three setups, but you just had a feeling.

with two pcs you could play together with simon.

with three pcs you could do... something.

you'd figure that out later.

turns out simon had figured that out without even having to talk to you.

there's this new fella on the construction sight. strange scottish man without a filter and a loud, loud voice.

he says call him john.

simon calls him johnny.

and he's an absolute muppet.

simon scowls everytime he gets paired up with johnny, but johnny only breaks out into a big grin while he talks.

"looks like i'm with you boss!"

cue simon's famous death glare.

"don't call me that."

despite the fact that simon barely talked, johnny talks for the both of them. he likes to ramble about his home town in scotland.

"scotland foreva!" simon just hit him over the head the first time he did that.

"we're in manchester you bloody muppet."

johnny loves to ramble. talking about his old neighbor who seemed a little like a drug dealer. or his theory on mattress buildings being fronts to laundering money.

"cause come on! have you 'ever seen someone in there? selling mattresses?? and they never go out of business. there's this one store in my hometown that has been open for over thirty years despite no one ever being parked in the lot."

he's gotta point though.

simon's gone from calling him johnny to soap. because he only has shower thoughts twenty four seven. it never stops.

never.

despite acting like he's a nuisance, simon likes johnny. its nice to finally talk to someone other than yer mum or yer flatmate.

but by god. soap for the love of god cannot stop with his scottish slang. something that sounds less and less like english and more like he's having a stroke.

"yer off yeir heid!"

"do you need to go to the hospital? ya' sound like yer havin' a stroke."

johnny did not have to go to the hospital. but from the amounts of times he's hit his head has simon wondering if he has a permanent concussion. or that his brain is really small and rattling around like a plinko game.

the joke is a scot and a brit walked into a bar.

there's no punch line.

because there's no bar.

because your house is not a damn bar.

lets do that again.

ahem

a bloody scot and a brit stomped into the front door.

you are estatic that simon's made a friend. cooing over him embarrassingly as you look the scot up and down.

"omg simon you did it. you made a friend."

"that's enough." johnny snickers in the background, earning a glare from simon.

you and johnny click instantly. the bro code or something, he claims.

the both of you thrive off the chaotic energy. simon just looks at you exasperated.

johnny also likes snooping around. instead of asking for a house tour he's shot off like a rocket. trying to find simon's room so he can steal something.

simon's running after him.

they both look like maniacs.

johnny thought simon slept in the basement. because he has that vibe. the monochrome palette. his sarcasm. the way he constantly squints when the sun gets past noon. because damn it has no reason to be that bright.

instead the two are met with the sight of your newly finished project. leds light the ceiling in a soft purple, illuminating softly pulsing lamps sitting on nice, dark wood desks. the monitors are all off, but the sheer amount of technology in this room makes his jaw hit the floor.

"ya got a stream room??"

simon looks at you in confusion too.

you smile sheepishly while you rub the back of your neck.

"yeah. had to do somethin' with the basement. and since simon needed more space."

johnny's eyes grow bigger than his damn brain.

"you??? stream????"

shocked pikachu face.

because johnny would've pegged you as a streamer with your light and teasing personality. not silent, brooding moody simon.

plot twist. simon's famous.

johnny's immediately begging for his channel name. cause come on, he has to have proof.

"ther' no way yer a streamer."

he is, in fact, a streamer. one that's rapidly growing with his feral fanbase.

johnny is still gawking by the morning.

one thing led to another, and it turns out johnny loves to record too. you had this dumb little idea to see if johnny could be a little guest on the channel. because don't get me wrong, simon's popular. but he needs a bit more. like company.

its ghost. and soap. and you, their little editor.

the chaos of these two when their recording together. simon let him onto the server once and suddenly half his house is blown up and soap's got an army of dogs.

he enslaves all the villagers and kills off half the farm.

or when ghost just wanted to relax and answer some Q&A questions that were long overdue.

he talked a bit about what he likes, favorite food, his opinion of communism.

and soap turned it from a question stream to a shower thought stream.

"ya know the ocean's a soup rite?"

simon sighs into the microphone.

"got the base of the soup. like the seaweed. got a bit of meat and fish. vegetables. sea cucumbers."

you had to write a warning that you cannot, in fact, just drink salt water out of the ocean. because it doesn't work that way. dont drink the forbidden soup.

chaos trio.

ghost, the chronically tired parent. and his two leash children mr soap "omg i just got a thought!" and you, who likes to edit the captions so that ghost is called babygirl.

he's not amused.

you and johnny now call him babygurl.

and half his fanbase too.

it's never gonna go away.

the ghost force had evolved from just this brit to + scot + editor + chaos.

you just put a warning in the beginning of any video that soap's in. because the scot himself needs a warning label.
