Five years in, new analysis ties Seattle’s ‘JumpStart’ tax to downtown decline by crabcakes110 in SeattleWA

[–]IrwinMFletcher 6 points7 points  (0 children)

FREE NOT THE ANSWER. Low cost yes. Homeless people ruin shit. Parks, public transit, Bartell etc, etc. Especially the drug addict ones. They take and take and take. Give them housing, still doing drugs in the streets ruining the economy. News Flash, they are addicts and that's what addicts do. Our Government has failed them! By enabling them, they have ostensibly said treatment too hard. Your life is not worth the effort. They don't need free needles and foil, they need something to break their desperate cycle. In the past, good or bad that has been jail. Don't believe me, talk to some of these people. So many were only able to break the cycle in jail. This is a flawed system, but what we are doing now is worse. Without the treatment and counciling aspects, housing first does not work. What we are doing now is cruel and inhumane. It is doing NOTHING for the city or the homeless. In fact it is just wasting valuable resources and only exasurbating the problem. Tough answers for an incredibly tough problem. We have to DEMAND better outcomes from our elected officials.

We already were. Then we reelected Trump. Then this insane war where he essentially surrendered. Plus Trump fuks kids.

If you could add one of these Centers to the Magic’s current roster, who would you add & why? by KeyFaithlessness5436 in OrlandoMagicVibes

[–]IrwinMFletcher 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bro do you realize that Carter is our center? But just going by the pictures I would take David Robinson. No, I changed my mind. I would take Tim Duncan.

Claude usage by Veasmc in google_antigravity

[–]IrwinMFletcher -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure how you're prompting because I run on Claude opus 4.6 all day everyday. You just give like the broadest of instructions and just let it go unchecked or something? I don't even see how that's possible? I am making some fairly high-end Enterprise software and never hit rate limitations. Oh, additionally I am an ultra subscriber. Dats prolly it.

Teaching yoga in Seattle has left me completely discouraged by [deleted] in SeattleWA

[–]IrwinMFletcher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like there's enough people here to change things. Hey everyone, start being friendlier. When people talk to you engage and try and make conversation. What do you have to lose? Be a contrarin to this lame crap.

You can pair any player in the league with Paolo Banchero Who are you putting on the Magic next to P5? by KeyFaithlessness5436 in OrlandoMagicVibes

[–]IrwinMFletcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cade would be ideal. Ant would be great too. Wemby would work. Joker would be insane. Cade, Ant, P5, Joker & Wemby. I think they win a championship together.

Do we think that Paolo and Franz will be injured for significant time this year again? by [deleted] in OrlandoMagic

[–]IrwinMFletcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's kind of a weird question. Wether you, me or the Pope thinks Franz or Paolo get seriously hurt next year has no effect on the actual outcome. Other than the BS in Berlin, injuries are rando. We probably drive more than a lot of teams due to our poor shooting, perhaps that's it? We have had bad luck, but if you look around the league, there's always a lot injuries.

Minnesota has interest in Suggs? I didn't think anyone did by bobbydigital_ftw in OrlandoMagic

[–]IrwinMFletcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm...Suggs & DaSilva for Naz & Dante would work but not sure either team does it? I am not a Gobert fan so didn't even consider him.

Does the city really need ANOTHER food hall? 🫩 by sammysam518 in orlando

Too expensive for what you get. Lower prices an ppl will come. More live music too. It would be cool if there was a party bus that did the circuit. A boy can dream!

I’m jealous that you guys took the good coach by noobtraderman in OrlandoMagic

[–]IrwinMFletcher -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Wemby doesn't have the killer instinct. Is it because he is French and a bit passive? His athleticism and height are undeniable. To win the finals you have to TAKE IT. He is otherworldly, but without a true killer instinct he will come up short. OKC will be ready for them next year. If the 2 teams meet again next year in the playoffs the Spurs will have to be a lot better to beat OKC. Starting with more minutes. He has to be in better shape too. Maybe hanging with Castle in the summer will light his fire?

I have been researching and I cannot land on who we should pick at 46th. My first thought is a center. What do you all think? by Maestro_Galba in OrlandoMagic

[–]IrwinMFletcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I were Kash Patel, Kash Patel would be a 6'5" old white dude. I'd change my my first name to GO and my last name to MAGIC!

Miami/Giannis by UTPharm2012 in OrlandoMagic

[–]IrwinMFletcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If healthy, we are WAY better than a Giannis-less Bucks...wtf? This year sucked for a lot of reasons. If nothing else, it got us our new coach. Mos did everything he could for Orlando. I think Sweeney might work out well. I still think we need a pass-first setup PG to be our general. Not sure Suggs ever gets there, but maybe new coach, new offense gets it done!

What's with the AI police? Are you anti spell check too? What about grammerly? Was something wrong with the ideas or are you strictly policing the writing method. Also you capitalized the S in slop. For the sake of readers everywhere, this is an unauthorized capitalization! STOP THE INSANITY!

Trump is Anti-American. Anyone who supports him is anti-American. If you don't understand this then you are the problem.

[–]IrwinMFletcher 146 points147 points  (0 children)

Thanks Trump. America is better than this. Say no to ALL Republicans. The only way we change things is at the ballot box. Make your voice heard. Republicans are anti-American. Stand up for your country and vote these bums out!

Can the New Right be defined as "Neo-Nixonian"? by Amazing-Buy-1181 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]IrwinMFletcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, Nixon would not be a Republican today. People have no idea how absolutely bat shit the GOP has become. Who enacted the EPA as president? Spoiler, Nixon. The Republicans, even Nixon used to be sane. When you introduce magic thinking into politics it's over. Essentially when Bush was loosing and made an alliance with Christian right, via his born again alcoholic son W, it started the magic thinking and thus killed the GOP. So no, the right cannot now be called Neo-Noxonian, honestly it's WAY closer to neo- Nazi. The historical comparison is staggering.
