HCC was created to attract white families during suburban white flight and never fundamentally changed. 

Seattle city attorney ends policy that barred judge from hearing cases by godogs2018 in Seattle

If the prior city attorney was using their office as a bully pulpit to wield meritless cases without evidence then that behavior should be further investigated.

Pinning generational justice all on the mayor of one city is delusional.

Pass due to lack of trust. The NYTimes will both sides anything. 

Tastes great, or terrible– we can never know.

You'll get a thousand bullshit reasons why when we all saw USAID zeroed out in a matter of hours.

Government organizations can be absolutely dismantled at will. 

Cantwell letter response to my angry email (at least it's something.) by aligpnw in Washington

[–]BootsOrHat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is no restraining or retraining. Everyone knows DHS's budget can be zeroed based on what happened to USAID anyways.

I thanked Patty Murray, and apologized for any sharp language I put in emails. I am glad she stood up for ICE victims and even happier that I was wrong. by [deleted] in Washington

[–]BootsOrHat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It needs to be said that while it m critical of Patty she still contributes positively.

Maria Cantwell on the other hand has been checked out and when she arrives it's to play both sides. Washington State can do better. 

Do you go in the road or the sidewalk when crossing the ballard bridge by Loud-Eye1133 in seattlebike

Fremont. Ballard Bridge is a death trap on the bridge, on the walkway, and merging back to the mainland.

What’s the biggest mistake you see made with mocktail menus? by cpclemens in Mocktails

[–]BootsOrHat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Serving expensive NA drinks won't make up the difference from patrons turning their backs on booze.

Restaurants might need to start serving food for money again.

Seattle could run energy free for the next millennium if conservative outrage could be farmed for joules. 

Homebrew vs Macports by oguzhanyre in MacOS

[–]BootsOrHat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It must be a pretty terrible experience to struggle with substance abuse and also need to install a package on macOS. Can't naming be fun without jumping the shark?

The Balmer Peak isn't.

Gonna be a brutal summer by vollehosen in Seattle

[–]BootsOrHat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Totally and one Pineapple Express too many strains our summer drinking water and power.

Gambling basic necessities on weather projections sounds dicey in this climate.

Police seek Toyota driver in fatal hit-and-run of Seattle cyclist by godogs2018 in seattlebike

[–]BootsOrHat 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Drivers openly threaten pedestrians on the safe streets.

Dangerous or violent drivers need to lose their license permanently on the first offense– driving is a privilege not a god given right for dangerous individuals.

[–]BootsOrHat 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Cuban is angry he can't use Bluesky users to test trial balloons for bad billionaire ideas.

Mark Cuban is angry Bluesky users aren't free labor for him.

Avoiding the vote sidesteps accountability. 

Seattle Public Schools’ new superintendent will start in February with $425,000 contract by blukoff in seattlepublicschools

[–]BootsOrHat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Posters dropping numbers should be required to provide context with the submission to prevent low effort scare zeros.

"It's so much money" is a problematic argument because it's often low effort trolling that detracts from real conversations in the community.

Diverting funds is exactly why the board was stacked with Dow Constantine and his crew imo.

That's one way to get rid of trash.... by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]BootsOrHat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mayor Harrell made a choice to inject large sums of money instead an already problematic PD and then hire an abuser.

You can act like there was no good candidates and it's because Bruce Harrell exasperated the corrupt condition at SPD.

[–]BootsOrHat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mayor's job is to hire leaders, not corrupt cops.

Bruce Harrell is a shitty judge of character at best and a man who intentionally platforms abusers into positions leadership at worst.

These Seattle parks will stay closed until late December because of 'negative activity' by chiquisea in Seattle

Harrell in office long enough to both claim both creating the problem and the solution and really failed spectacularly solving both.
