Gotta love the overall “this is doomed” tone from the conservative Seattle times. Converting buildings is challenging, but this is prime waterfront real estate near the light rail/amtrak. There are likely hundreds of old office buildings that could be converted into thousands of apartments/condos if the will is there, which would help solve real issues in Seattle.
Its a silver bullet if we can get the conversion process streamlined or improved. More housing means more people downtown, which means more business and culture and improved tax revenue for city improvements while retaining all the traffic, climate and employement benefits of work from home. The downtown becomes a place for people, making seattle more walkable and liveable.

I gotcha man. My experience with folk that open carry line up more with this guy than otherwise. Concealed is a whole different thing, as it’s not a show of force.
No harm meant up above. These racist fucks in our great state just really grate on my nerves.
I still dont buy the “its rural, so they open carry for wild animal safety” excuse though. I know rural Washington, and most people that open carry are just cowards who soak their brains in fear porn all day, everyday.
They open carry as a replacement for their lack of spine. They dont have the strength of their convictions or any mental fortitude, so they substitute a gun and think it means something besides “I’m scared to death of the world.”
This cowardly racist is just another one of them, open carrying because he doesnt have the stones to stand and deliver his racism without a death stick on his hip.
Again, making excuses for racists. You and I both know why hes carrying at work, because hes a racist fuck advertising his racism, and since he cant defend his racism with words, hes going to do it with a gun.
The stores owners and his coworkers are clearly okay with that, and it sure seems like you are too. “Maybe he is carrying for the wrong reasons?” Maybe? Really, dude?
How about we all say fuck you to racists, and double fuck you to the ones that use guns as a threat of death when expressing their racism?
You think hes wearing a gun at work in a grocery store checkstand because someone saw a cougar at a far off trailhead? A cougar that ran away as soon as it saw people?
Bullshit. Hes wearing a gun because he has on a KKK shirt in public. Hes using the gun to defend his racism, full stop. Hes saying quite clearly that if you confront him about his racism, he may kill you.
Stop giving racists even a shred of plausible deniability, even when it is as thin as the above.
Remote is the “hottest” section of job sites, so stupid companies will list every job under “remote” on the off chance that someone looking for remote work will accept non remote work.
The shittier ones will even tell you its remote up until the interviews, when it will suddenly be “hybrid” remote, i.e not remote.
Ohh, you’ve moved on from directly hateful snark directed at the homeless to playing at being incredibly stupid instead. I’d say I’m suprised, but I’m really not.
You “bet it was a lot” in terms of the city budget of Seattle, one of the largest metropolises in the United states, and to some degree the world, to bury 302 people in a single grave after the medical examiner did their legally required job? You think the city should have instead just left 302 dead bodies laying around? Y’all really going to play at being this stupid, to argue that Seattle taxpayers would be better off stepping over the dead instead of burying the deceased at a cost that was very clearly absolutely nothing in terms of our yearly budget?
You’re really going to carry on with this incredibly dumb premise that you’re just a big idiot that earnestly thinks a single grave stone and 2hr memorial was a budget busting expensive for our 4 million+ populated metro area?
This is just sad man. Playing at an idiot instead of a hateful piece of shit doesnt save you any amount of face.
Imagine being upset about a ceremony showing some dignity to 302 people held by clergy, firemen, members of the king county medical office and some members of the public.
302 dead people shown the smallest amount of humanity and grace by a grand sum of 40 members of the city staff and public for 1 day/year, and yall pissy about the $0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000001/person it may or may not have cost to hold the ceremony.
Your namesake would have gladly whooped your ass for your shameful statement.
In many cities, riders have to use a specific transit card for their commute. Working with transit agencies and other partners, Google Wallet makes it easy for riders in some cities to purchase and store your transit pass directly on your phone. We recently started rolling this out for transit riders in Madrid. And starting soon, people in Seattle and the Puget Sound Region will be able to add their ORCA transit cards to Google Wallet.
This is not only a convenient option for people looking to store their everyday essentials on their phone, but also a way to get your new transit card instantly, easily reload the card and set up auto-load.You can also view your real-time transit card balance and transaction history, all from the convenience of your mobile phone. This is helpful for keeping track of your spending and making sure you always have enough fare on your card.
Ohh man, the “demon planet” melting voyager clone episode really set my teeth on edge with this.
Super interesting premise, the metal clones fly out on their own ship, invent/discover new warp tech that is super useful, almost get to earth, but then begin to melt. People die, Tom gets dark and broody in a realistic way, but then as its getting good they all start to die to wrap it up in one episode. So they super warp home to the devil planet, but they realize they arent going to make it, so they fire off a “stable bouy” about who they are/what they learned. By pure, totally realistic happenstance, this buoy both doesn’t survive and the actual voyager is passing nearby at the time, just close enough to see their destroyed remains.
In the insane vastness of space, the chances of these two ships with vastly different propulsion capabilities passing by each other in the very minutes one of them disintegrates is so unlikely as to be nearly impossible, and of course it failed in a way that fully resets any boons actual voyager might have gained from it.
It would have been way more poignant to have the bouy survive, but to have voyager well past it, not able to learn from it because they had gone beyond. To never have them even see or interact with their copies, just to have those copies set out on their same journey but fail, with only a lone bouy to remember them by. A true reminder, a real boon, but one outside of voyagers reach by random chance. Actual life.
But nah, just reset the whole promise of the episode in the last 2 minutes instead.
So blaming rape victims is never a good start, but here we go.
These were very young men in high pressure enviroment. Teenagers, mostly. Maybe 18/19, but not mature adults. They had no support network, as even the coaches turned a blind eye to it as you can see with Jim jordan who they reached out to get help from. This happened basically as the Internet was first starting, in the 80s/90s, so no social media to reach out to.
The “doctor” used sport exams as cover for his sexual assaults. These young men thought it was just them not “being tough” about part of their sport. They didn’t know he did this to a hundred other men.
They probally did know, that even if they did come forward, victim blaming assholes would say it was their fault for not “kicking his ass.” That they would be shamed for being weak about not only being raped, but by not “being manly” about it.
So yeah, like most sexual assualt, the rapist targeted young, vulnerable people unsure of themselves who he knew had no support network. Then, like now, he knew people would blame them as much as possible, and people continue to help rapists by doing so.
Id bet the limited features in this official stellaris mod are held back DLC and concessions to Paramount. Money choices over art.
Mods let people bring art back into buisness. People can make what is actually good without having to worry about making money, or paying someone else money for the privilege of making art.
