I have bad news for you about who collects federal taxes.

Feels like it's 1994 all over again.

straight from the horse's mouth

JAQ-ing off. >plonk<

News for you, my guy: Other people are not your research interns. HTH.

I need the council to understand that I am not taking away my vote, I am shifting it to more respectable candidates.

Maybe you could read the article.

In all this mouth noise, Saka is actually saying something basically true here - multiple folks calling in complaints about late-night noise on Alki have been told that the police don't have the means to measure noise volume. Seems like something they should get!

They regularly tell neighborhood councils in West Seattle to tell people not to bother calling the non-emergency line, just send everything to 911. Is this good policy? No. But it's what they advocate.

Happiness? In this economy?

Just a reminder that this place is rotten with bad faith accounts trying openly to split apart groups, redirect discussions, and ruin any chance of creating solidarity 🥰

From someone who lived in the Bay Area for 13 years: this is correct.

OK doomer.

Option 5: I am heartily sick of wasting all this time turning off "AI tools" being jammed into every orifice of every piece of technology I use because it potentially puts me in violation of federal law without bringing a single useful thing to the table and I want my time back.

Option 4: It is currently inserting falsehoods into medical records, pretending to replace my profession by aping a poor and harmful version of what I do, and literally making some of my clients worse and a danger to themselves and others.

In a public space, if you stop just after walking through a door or coming to the end of stairs or an escalator, and I run into you from behind, you are the person at fault.

No man, the new ones need you to not rinse! scrape, yes. rinse, no.

I used to feel very [eyeroll] about the ones on casters that you roll up to the sink and jam the faucet into a plastic hose to run. Then I lived in a place where that was the only option. THANK YOU IMPERMANENT APPLIANCE

Absolutely. That's the majority of "dishes" most nights anyway, and letting the machine wash stuff it does well makes doing the things it cant handle by hand feel like actual useful work ("clearly it can't be trusted with this pan so I must apply my human skills!")
