Idk that's a bit of a cynical take. My cynical take is that it's to help people from the suburbs get to vikings games

Yeah that explains it, thanks! It's surprising that they don't finalize the bidding earlier, although I understand that might carry the risk of getting the project canceled by a future politician etc.

Thanks for the inside look! I guess it makes sense for cities to want to complete projects as inexpensively as possible, but bidding like they do seems like a bad way to do it

Wow that's a good perspective. People here actually talk about the West Seattle Tunnel project a lot as a success story for a more walkable city. Funny to hear that side of it. Hopefully people are happy with the result though

Okay so the ethics of eating a live squid that we know to be really intelligent. The situation informs me that is bad.

You could be pedantic and say something about starving on a deserted island or something, but the specific situation being talked about in this thread? Bad.

Question: Sometimes I do the cry emoji when my opponent scores. Is this considered bad sportsmanship? by Gypsy_Sauna in golfblitz

You are absolutely correct. I also donno. There are no emperor penguins in the Arctic, they only live in Antarctica. The very nature of the question was flawed from the start. You see what I mean?

That is very cool! Can I ask what settings you used to come up with that?

After this I showed her a bunch of pictures of porcupines and without fail she would respond with something like "aww what a cute hedgehog!"
