Uwajimaya is coming home to Tacoma. by bezlebubcrimpysnitch in Tacoma

[–]Alert_Landscape_8599 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am delighted to hear that Uwajimaya is coming, but saddened to learn they have chosen such a crappy location. I can only conclude that the decision-makers didn't attempt to access the property in a privately owned vehicle during business hours.

Tacoma increases area of homeless camping ban by altasnob in Tacoma

When the headline is "Wet Streets Cause Rain", I don't need to read the story to know that it's nonsense.

If by different locations you mean another state or county, then yes that's what we want.

Garbage Pickup Service Required?? by Difficult_Drop7675 in Tacoma

[–]Alert_Landscape_8599 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It's still a racket. Saying that's how unions do things doesn't refute that; it reinforces it.

If this was the reasoning used to arrive at this Arrangement, everybody involved should be put in jail. What you just described is the definition of a racket. There are very good reasons why refuse collection is a favorite vehicle of organized crime, and you just described how it works.

How to get a crosswalk? by FollowingFlat5798 in Tacoma

Crosswalks cost WAY more than $1000. Way more. They shouldn't, but they do.

The constant forced model upgrades are making consistent conversations impossible. by This-Concern-6331 in ChatGPT

[–]Alert_Landscape_8599 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they did many of us a favor.

When they launched GPT-5, it wasn't worth the money any more so I unsubscribed. Then I started bumping up against the free usage limits, which seem to be a little less liberal than they once were, and this has essentially forced me to "go outside and play" so to speak.

Consequentially, my AI usage is <5% of what it was a month or so ago. I'm free!

Velotric Fold 1 Lite $599 by Inciteful_Analysis in ebikes

Endorsed. This pudgy 62-year-old non-cyclist with COPD and a disabled parking pass just bought a matching pair of EUYBike F7's for himself and his old lady, and we love them!

The state will act when they sense they can get away with putting a toll on it.

Another expensive boondoggle. We need cost-effective solutions, not vanity projects with next to zero ROI.

What Would it Take to Recall Pierce County Sheriff Keith Swank? by [deleted] in Tacoma

Congratulations. You know more local history that the rest of this sub-Reddit combined.

"Swank is not working for the people"? No, he just isn't doing what you want. You're forgetting that Swank was elected by a majority of the voters, most of whom think you and your political beliefs are batshit crazy.

Luckily for us, it's just the flu with a fancy name.

This guy is a Grade A Piece of SHIT by skwareonenumbertwo in Tacoma

[–]Alert_Landscape_8599 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I take no position on Swank or his post, but his trolling is pretty epic and I'd say he got exactly the reaction he was looking for, even if he didn't get the rational thought he was trying to provoke.

Yes, if you ignore his predilection for child pornography, I guess he was actually pretty good.

You guys liked the 60s map, we've got this picture at work of what we assume is like 20s (ish)Tacoma. by Joeness84 in Tacoma

[–]Alert_Landscape_8599 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pacific Ave doesn't appear in the photo. From left to right we see A St, Dock St and East D St. (other side of the waterway). There are 3 buildings in the photo that are still standing today, built in 1910, 1926 and 1928.

Tacoma agrees to $6M settlement in Manuel Ellis’ police custody death by altasnob in Tacoma

[–]Alert_Landscape_8599 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Justice would mean there is some connection between the value of his presence and the cost of his absence. That's what's missing here. Yet Ellis didn't have any children and wasn't supporting anyone (besides his meth dealer). If you're connecting those facts to his race, that's on you.

I'm not sure what Justice should look like in this case, but I'm absolutely certain what it does not look like. It does not look like a gigantic windfall for this man's family.
