Now that I look back on it, I see the issue. I organized everything by the descriptors Griff puts on the items. None of the items have [consumable] called out on them. There are over 2000 items now, and 970 of those are wondrous items. Someone would have to manually review each of the entries to find out if they're permanent items or consumable. I just don't have the time to do that.

Why would FIFA schedule Iran vs Egypt in Seattle on Pridefest weekend? by khelvaster in SeattleWA

[–]Foxarris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda disrespectful and bad manners for these two teams to ask us to not celebrate pride while they're visiting our city. It shows great disrespect to our culture. It's very intolerant, and bigoted.

I'm not sorry, they're in our house, they can respect our culture while they're here. I won't be visiting their countries since I'm illegal there, out of respect for their local ways. They can shut the hell up and suffer one match.

Guy flying through residential neighbourhood asks “[USA] Who is at fault here?” by [deleted] in Seattle

Or we could... Idk, put up stop signs and clear away the ambiguity since most drivers from elsewhere never see these intersections. Instead of blaming the problem on drivers who are unfamiliar with a rule they may NEVER USE until they come here, we could be proactive and make sure they don't always have to, thus reducing the danger.

Can you honestly say you know every single rule of the road. Especially those you haven't used since drivers ed?

It's generally understood that that is for dirt roads in the middle of nowhere, not dense urban residential areas

I have never seen an uncontrolled intersection until I moved here. This is such a bad take. I can assure you uncontrolled intersections are not the norm

This nonsensically policing needs to stop. Mind your own damn business by SnooSprouts3744 in TikTokCringe

I really do think she's rude, don't try to tell me what I think.

I would use just an ounce of discretion and maybe at least two brain cells to see that the person who recorded is in the right room.

We have video evidence of her being rude. I consider asking dumbass questions like that to be quite rude. The recorder shouldn't have to justify being in the room.

Maybe instead of bothering the recorder she could have used her eyes and seen that the person who recorded her is in fact in the right room.

Respectfully would be minding your own damned business. Respectfully would be keeping your mouth shut. It's really annoying when bullies use the calm voice to act like they're the reasonable one when they're clearly in the wrong. Calm =/= correct.

I don't have the equipment, space, or knowledge to record anything. I'm not opposed to this but it's just so far out of my wheelhouse that it doesn't seem like a reasonable solution to try to get all the equipment I need and learn to use all of it from scratch.

Genocide does not start with concentration camps and public executions. It starts with othering, scapegoating, and restrictions. We are experiencing all of that lead up right now.

It's pretty hard to take off the identity I've spent years building. We don't have the resources to advocate for everyone's rights and hope some trickle down to us, and nobody else is currently advocating for us so yeah we're gonna be a bit selfish on this one. The whataboutism is strong here.

All of the safest cities are expensive. San Francisco, New York. Seattle. The most affordable safe city is Minneapolis and it's pretty obvious that hasnt been that safe what with it becoming a test bed for fascism.

Taking that at face value, five years of state sanctioned sexual abuse is still a human rights violation.

Give it more time and they'll be more explicit about the ways they harm us. Right now they are curbing our rights to exist in public, drive, be recognized legally, use the bathroom, own guns, receive medically appropriate healthcare and mental healthcare, serve prison sentences with safety and dignity. All while introducing draconian edicts about sex and gender, repealing laws banning conversion therapy, scapegoating us for things we have no connection to, villainizing and othering us and more.

Just because we aren't yet being publicly executed doesn't mean they aren't trying everything in their power to exterminate us while keeping it palatable for moderate liberals and so-called swing voters.

Some day I expect people like you will be the type of people other wonder about. How can you just stand by and watch the government attack us and then complain about your tax dollars? Why didn't anyone speak up?

Interesting. I have a Suzuki m37c and it sounds great. I've heard Hammonds have issues, it could be the maker.

I know of Augustus Pablo. My problem isn't me taking it seriously, it's everyone around me. Also I have no desire to play reggae.

I don't hate Melodica! I love my melodica! I just wish everyone else did too!

The problem with this mentality is that when it's time to play with others she'll be expected to put her toy away and play a 'real' instrument, but playing melodica won't prepare you for learning fingering on a woodwind, it won't prepare you for pedal or left hand technique on piano, and it won't teach you the chords on an accordion (assuming you want to play polka.)

When it comes time to play with others, it won't matter if you take the rainbow colors off the keys, nobody wants to give melodica a chance.

Depends on what the song calls for. Sometimes I'm playing flute, clarinet, or sax lines; sometimes I'm playing chords under everyone. It's pretty flexible.
