False , in Almost two years after closure, Seattle's City Hall Park reopens

The 1.3-acre park will now regularly have games, food trucks, concerts and art installations, according to a city release. Two park rangers will also be staffed during all open hours.

A 1.3 acre park needs a regular staffing of 2 rangers during all open hours? Kind of seems like special treatment for this park.

It does seem excessive but may just be for the soft re-opening. Until they know that the place won’t become overrun with problems again.

brotkel , in Digital reading soars in Seattle, creating problems for local libraries [KUOW]

I wonder how much it affects libraries that I can also walk a block in any direction and find a Little Free Library in one of my neighbor’s front yards. These certainly don’t replace the need for libraries, but I’d also have to pass up a lot of free books on my way to the library if I ever ran out of reading material.

SeaJ ,

Honestly, I doubt those affect things very much. I think I have seen decent stuff maybe once or if every 20 times I walk by a little free library. I am generally looking for a specific book when going to the library or getting an ebook from there.

What did she accomplish by escalating the situation? Other than making your caveman brain go "hehe"

I don't answer straw men.

EDIT: Sorry...I mistook this thread for another. What I wasn't responding to was an ad hominem.

ruckblack ,

Lmfao not a straw man in sight in my comment. Do you know what a straw man is? I asked a simple question to expand on your position, and you dodged and mocked me (in three separate comments) because I guess you had a bad day. Eat a dick.

No...you're right...it wasn't a straw man. I mistook this for another thread.

I don't respond to ad hominems.

She sent a very clear message to the customer that his shitty, entitled, and borderline threatening behavior will not be tolerated. Seems to me like she made the world a slightly better place.

Excellent use of tuition money.

What a fucking pathetic response lmao.

You needed to attend every class to pass college? What are you, some kind of idiot?

People pay tuition for the opportunity to earn college credits and a degree, not to participate in kindergarten attendance.

Sunforged ,

You're right, but probably not in the way you intended. Better use of tuition money than tax dollars funding genocide.

mosiacmango ,

Man, imagine thinking that protesting and civic discourse is something you shouldn't be doing in a institute of higher learning.

Dude thinks college is about getting golden check marks instead of learning how to engage with and improve society.
