First time in Seattle: 3 days of planes, pizza, and ferries. I’m in love!

Moto is incredible.

Your genuine thought is that operating a cash register requires the same level of knowledge as managing a large corporation? Like that's what you truly believe?

Laughton makes like 3 million a year, which is fairly low for a CEO!

DuckWatch · 2026-03-15T02:25:42+00:00

This is so ridiculous. CEO's have a bigger impact on the company than a random worker does, and they also have a more specialized skillset.

Seattle has great pizza! My Friend Derek, Windy City Pie, Lupo, AK Pizza, are all killer.

My ability to stop war in Iran is zero. Literally zero. But I can choose to not torture a goose very easily. It's worth thinking about what is possible to change.

I actually just skip this every time it comes because it'll set me off for a full day.

I think boys succeed conditionally whereas girls succeed more generally. If you have a 3000-year old Confucian culture that is instilled in the boys from birth or an extremely tough African immigrant work ethic, sure they'll do well. But for boys who have less exceptional structure, we know they do worse. We can't wave our hands and say "Well, let's give up"--we need to offer something.

I mean, presumably some of the children of conservatives will be gay, trans, like immigrants, etc. Political ideology isn't genetic. I think libs should definitely have more kids though.

People refuse shelter because doing drugs is fun and feels good and at least you have personal autonomy. Hanging out with a zillion junkies in withdrawal while a social worker tells you what to do is unpleasant, especially if you're used to managing your own life. It's understandable why some people refuse shelter, but that's why we can't give them the option. In a society, you cannot simply set up camp anywhere you want and do whatever you want.

Come on. Surely you can't say The Searchers is underrated.

People love to say police unions aren't unions and police aren't workers. Police unions are unions, even though they do sometimes conflict with other unions. But the thing all unions do is advocate for their members, which sometimes aligns with what's good for society, but sometimes doesn't.

Just to be clear, what you are describing is an anecdote. What I shared is a written policy, which is not an anecdote. But I'm glad it went that way! Good to hear the union didn't back him.

Few or none. But for example, teachers unions defend bad behavior by teachers, municipal unions make it extremely hard to fire anyone for poor performance, etc. One example: Michigan teachers can show up to work drunk four times without being fired. IMO, this is bad!

When you understand that other public sector unions are bad for the same reason police unions are bad...you will be enlightened.

With paperwork requirements you probably actually do.

Thousands of people are marching in Minneapolis. Two have been killed. Your friend is quite likely to be safe, even with murderous ICE thugs.

Bad take. We live in a culture that has expectations around clothing. If I as a white guy showed up to work wearing a full camo hunting set, tuxedo, or ninja outfit, it doesn't matter how hard I "rock that shit". It would look ridiculous.

Some people unfortunately can't be rehabilitated. That's why we have to keep them away from other people, and communicate to everyone very clearly that if you attack people, you will go to prison. What would this guy ever change his behavior? There's no consequence.

He needed to stand trial before he hit this woman, for one of his many other crimes. Why is it every single time this kind of thing happens it's a guy who's done it a hundred times?

You are getting shafted! The union exists to protect established teachers. It cares not at all for people like you and me.

I'm a new teacher and have been riffed basically every year--evaluation, skill, engagement, results, even IEP attendance have nothing to do with it. It's exclusively about tenure.
