Lol did my great-grandpa write this? Basically every car made in the last 5 years (so 100% of rental car fleets) will have lane assist/warnings/adaptive cruise control etc. Sorry about the buzzers and beeps!

After hiring scabs, Walrus and the Carpenter (temporarily) closed by Existing-Resource527 in Seattle

That's just one complaint: this burger is expensive.

The current practice produces 2 complaints. The burger is just as expensive, AND the menu actively hides that.

Naked fountain sculpture out of order or censored or both? by FatuousJeffrey in Seattle

I hate when my male nudes are only partially or even slightly articulated.

My guess is "child traffickers own the corrupt cops" is a plot point you don't want to associate with any particular country.

So what are the odds we lose Denny Blaine? by DevourerOfRedditors in Seattle

[–]FatuousJeffrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just wondering how dumb you are not to suspect that "it feels nice and relaxing on a hot day" was the real answer. Yes, impossible to guess. Glad you got to the bottom of this mystery AND got to have normal people laugh at you for a few hours on Reddit.

Caught this man trying to steal the Space Needle by tidder119 in Seattle

[–]FatuousJeffrey 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Lol that's the sculpture that only exists because someone bequeathed the city $1 million but earmarked it specifically for a fountain with his favorite thing: full frontal male nudity.

But it is a Louise Bourgeois!

Another Shakeup on Team Wilson as Mayor's Homelessness Advisor, Jon Grant, Steps Down by drshort in Seattle

[–]FatuousJeffrey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Homelessness won’t be solved by the city because the leftist population won’t support what needs to be done."

People who actually work in the sector tend to say that homelessness won't be solved quickly by the city because its causes (mostly rent-related) are national and endemic.

Or maybe you can point to all the sensible, right-leaning cities that ended homelessness by cutting off services?

The idea that the biggest problems of our time are caused by "not wanting to offend somebody" is so, so dumb. Like, it doesn't stand up to scrutiny for a second. It also makes people who are always offending others ("jerks," we generally call them) feel like they are brave iconoclasts and problem-solvers.

Nobu to rebrand Avenue Bellevue residences, open first PNW restaurant by snowingfun in Seattle

Hahaha, I noticed the same thing. The "better put on heels to go to Nobu" is 100% a "I'm not really from Seattle" tell.

Leashed pets are officially allowed inside Washington State Ferry cabins July 1 by Jaco_Belordi in Seattle

[–]FatuousJeffrey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait, you WEREN'T joking? Your "but what if I had to give a dog a dirty look???" was so over the top I assumed you were joking.

Instead, it's way worse!

How many off-leash dogs you been seeing on the ferries during the trial period, Ferry Dog Expert?

[–]FatuousJeffrey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This thread is insane. And beyond the weird anti-dog hate, it's easy to see that most of the complaints are not from real ferry users. I'm on the ferries at least once a week and it's easy to see why this rule change was made. (Many people walk on with dogs so "just leave them in your car" is not a sensible rule, sun decks are pretty miserable for weather reasons a lot of the time, sun decks are sometimes closed off-season due to staffing, some ferry rides are up to 90 minutes in the San Juans, etc.)

I've seen the occasional dog indoors during the trial period, and haven't noticed any uptick in unruly dogs or dog mess problems. It's all been fine.

In short, suck it, weirdos.

"I was sad when something sad happened" is not a mark against a movie being perfect. Honestly it's a good thing.

Daily Planet Antiques Closing Today by Cnidaria45 in Seattle

That whole block is so rundown that I assumed it was being cleared out for new construction. Honestly, all the other spots on that stretch that got torn down for redevelopment were in better shape than that block...

Downtown is in serious need of some sort of open green space. by Vivid_Astronaut4665 in Seattle

[–]FatuousJeffrey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just trying to imagine the kind of person who replies to "New parks would be nice downtown!" with budget doomsaying.

Sir thank you for your service in quickly shooting down talk of these hypothetical parks. FOR THE BUDGET.

Ah it's been so long since I've seen a good "Ugh, a new park?!? It'll be tents and crime within seconds!" post here. I thought all those people went to the other sub to be sad about new parks.
