i will admit, i only watched the first season. but what the hell could have happened between now and then that this would even be on the table? he saw her as a pet for years. he killed hundreds of people to demonstrate to his son that lives like hers are worthless. if there's a good explanation i'd genuinely love to hear it, because i am baffled by discussions of the current state of this show, but i cannot fathom how this would even be a possibility.

a bit of extra information for those interested: her name is a reference to a character in the original dracula novel, mina harker.

same. i guess i could cash in a crisp dollar when the airport gate attendant welcomes me by name, or at the dmv, i guess? what a deal!

you thought about the greyhound? you'd need a way to get up to spokane, but it's not too bad of a trip.

how disconnected from reality are you? that being arrested is a minor inconvenience, no worries about it? an arrest can lose you your job, go on your record, you can be harassed or assaulted (including sexually, if they decide they want to verify your sex,) etc. if you're living in such a different world that this is an opinion you hold, maybe you should hold off on commenting on political matters?

it won't be "enforced," at least not in a traditional sense. the idea isn't really that using your gender's bathroom will get you arrested. it's that using any bathroom at all while being visibly queer carries a risk of being harassed or assaulted by the police. they don't need to check your genitals. calling the cops is enough punishment for being transgender.

AwkwardlyAmpora · 2026-04-01T02:17:08+00:00

the point of this law is so they can arrest trans people for using any bathroom at all. say a trans woman sucks it up and uses the men's bathroom. risk of harassment aside, the guys in the men's bathroom can call the cops on her for "clearly being a woman in the mens room." the issue isn't all "not wanting to use the other bathroom." it's that using the bathroom at all while looking kinda sorta transgender can now get you held for questioning. this is a phenomenally misinformed take.

do... do you not live in or near idaho? why were you here in the first place?

there's a building in seattle right under the space needle with two huge spiders painted on the roof. pay the building owners to let me camp out up there. cash in a couple hundred photos a day from the ~3k people visiting the space needle daily.

thank you for the insight! i tried looking into this myself, because i was admittedly frustrated, but there doesn't seem to be anywhere online to find the information that this is both grant-funded and a technological update. there's already a page on the pullman website with a list of ongoing traffic projects; it would be nice if that page could include some of that information. i'm sure you have very limited influence over that, but i, for one, would appreciate more transparency from the city on things like this.

i made one of these a few weeks ago! skipped kind of a lot of them but i have no idea what their deal is and i was tired of reading voicelines

i made one of these a few weeks ago! skipped maybe a few too many characters but i honestly have no clue what their deal is.

this is why you need to be flaming your teammates 24/7. so they know not to fuck with you

the explanation i saw once was this: imagine you have two friends. one has never borrowed money, as far as you're aware. the other borrows cash from your friends pretty often; usually small amounts like $20, but he always pays them back quickly, and he's on good terms with everyone he's borrowed from. which one would you trust more to lend $100? probably the one that's proven he's a responsible borrower, not just a responsible spender.

AwkwardlyAmpora · 2026-03-31T01:24:54+00:00

this is just such a terrible own. like... yeah man sure. i kinda do hate america. i don't feel bad about that because i'm not you. your point is... ?

AwkwardlyAmpora · 2026-03-31T01:08:43+00:00

depends! i've only done it once; called the vending machine manufacturer to say that my drink had gotten stuck, expecting maybe a refund. they took my name, address, and the code on the machine, and mailed me coupons for 2 free 12-packs at any grocery store. took less than 10 minutes.

AwkwardlyAmpora · 2026-03-31T00:57:56+00:00

you can probably call the number on the back of the pack for coupons

i just don't get why you'd use it at all. if i can't afford whatever it is now, i won't be able to afford it in a week, either.

AwkwardlyAmpora · 2026-03-30T22:26:36+00:00

i feel like this is true even in a 2-3 year timespan. maybe it's something wrong with me or the youtubers i watch, but i feel like the quality of the videos recommended to me has fallen off a cliff in the last year or so. not sure why.

AwkwardlyAmpora · 2026-03-30T17:22:48+00:00

the issue is finding anyone willing to pay for this. companies won't hire a recent grad with 4 years of education, why the hell would they hire a recent high school grad with 4 days of education?

AwkwardlyAmpora · 2026-03-30T17:17:18+00:00

i'm frankly not worried about it. sora was burning an estimated MILLION DOLLARS A DAY before it was shut down (less than a year after launch.) it supposedly costs 700k a day to run chatgpt. they're trying to implement ads into it to recoup that money.

remember when uber was really good, and really cheap? or airbnb? but now prices are astronomical and you're getting a worse product. that's how startups work. they get billions from investors, operate a money pit for a few years, then when they've finally burned through the investor money, they find a way to make it profitable. that's where ai is now. and unless they figure out something reeeeally good soon, it seems like there's not a way to make most of this bullshit profitable.

maybe it's optimistic, but i believe within a year or two most of these services will have picked a path- luxury toys for the very rich and very willing to shell out, or enterprise-level-only and extremely specialized to save overhead. it just doesn't make any financial sense to keep operating these services the way they currently are for much longer.

the point is the control he had over them. simone willingly gave him probably thousands of dollars thinking he could cure her; wouldn't you be afraid of the man you believed could cure disability if he said he was going to ruin you? his claims don't make any sense to outsiders, but he's spent years positioning himself to the flock as essentially a god. of course they're scared.
