Questionable Questing

As for the difference between a tradesman and an engineer? The easiest way to explain it, is lets say you want to install a air conditioning unit onto an office building. You have codes that are set by ASHARE and OSHA which tells you certain requirements for that air conditioning unit.

A great example is that modern buildings are so well insulated that a lot of times they have trouble bringing in enough air and that can make people sick or even pass out in the case of something like a bar or a club since the building is backed with so many people there won't be enough oxygen for everyone.

So you have fans and special vents that are designed and installed before building can be approved by the city to make sure that doesn't happen. And that's just one example, I could list entire pages of requirements that certain buildings have to have with their air conditioning unit or it become a safety violation.

So back to that office building the owner gets the specs made by architect, he gets an inspector to look at it and figure out all the safety stuff I mention that needs to be installed, He hires an HVAC engineer who looks at those spec's and he draws up a design in CAD or some other software that will meet those. Then HVAC tradesmen are hired to actually install that unit on to the building

The big difference between Engineer's and Tradesmen is that Engineer's typically don't do a lot of actual building. Most of their work is in designing and researching. And while that means that they have a really good understand on the theories of electricity and thermodynamic that most tradesmen have no clue about,

the problem with a lot of engineers is that they don't have a lot of the practical skills the tradesmen has. For example, its by code that the outside condenser of an air conditioner is at least a foot away from the building and most engineers ignore that. Because it cost more money to install it that way.

But the reason why we tradesmen want it to be installed that way is because when we have to repair the units, if the back of it is pressed against a wall then we don't have the space to get in.

Tradesmen are practical while Engineers are figuring out the scheme of how to make it all work in the principles to map out the instalation plan

Have you ever considered the worldbuilding implications of things like corruption being real in a world? A world where a son or father can rape their mother or daughter, and the woman grow in physical attractiveness and warp their personaltiy? What would a world where hearts in eyes rape be like socially? How would it fuck with people's morals?

I never see works which explore how the psychology and culture of a world would be effected by hentai tropes like, the sheer amount of milfs fucking their sons or hot daughters fucked by dads. Or if people realize they don't need to date when they can emotionally break people into liking them. Its always limited to a scenario for that porn story. Race play is another kind of terrible

Half the fun for me in writing an incest smut fic is dealing with the psychology of it and how that kind of relationships fucks with your sense of self.

Its something that has been hitting me as I write more of that kind of fetish work. Its important to have likable characters who are entertaining, but those relationships are imbalanced toxic messes.
