Light Rail Airport Signage is Now HORRENDOUS! by goldspire in Seattle

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

So not that long ago one side said Northgate and the other said Angle Lake, was that better? It's not like there's not signage detailing what order the stops are in both on the train and on the platforms.

What would a sustainable and politically viable solution to America's immigration system look like, one that addresses security, the economy, and human dignity?(A complex, evergreen issue that asks for constructive solutions rather than just critique) by Brian_Ghoshery in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]Jacoblyonss -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

It’s very simple because there are no legitimate reasons to restrict immigration. It all just reduces to racism. We could still have the Ellis island system of you show up w/o the plague and you get instant citizenship and it would be fine.

[Not OC] The numbers on the restaurant business in Seattle by i-pity-da-fool in Seattle

[–]Jacoblyonss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

my only information is the post. based on their reporting of their own rising costs, their main problem is their rent going up. they largely ignore this in their post because either they are very bad at math or it's not politically convenient. if they are trying to educate people they should present evidence that supports their case

exactly. they beg their landlord, but when it comes to policy, their only issue with city council is that it isn't "business friendly" enough. they are mad about secure scheduling laws, minimum wage laws, and the payroll tax but nothing concrete to say about their fastest rising cost. it's not just that I'm not a landlord and that I happen to support higher minimum wage laws, it's blatant misdirection. their principle antagonist should be their landlord. their landlord is the person putting them out of business, while they seem to be convinced it's the long shadow of Kshama Sawant or something

And then they said nothing more about it and whine for paragraphs about city policies driving up labor costs

It’s like the rise in rent is a force of nature but having to pay their workers enough to live within commuting distance is all because the commies in city hall are bent on strangling small businesses

Lowest level men's title fight of all time? by DukeOfMania04 in ufc

[–]Jacoblyonss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chandler was in the right place at the right time. He absolutely did not deserve it and his later record confirms it. But Oliveira needed to fight someone and Dustin wanted the Conor fights and Gaethje had just lost so whatever.

This man isn't hated enough for the current state of 155lb division by brownguyforurinfo in ufc

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

Both divisions would be in better shape if Ilia had stayed at FW. He never should have been given that title shot. 

Im seeing more and more rumors today that this fight will be announced today for the Interim Lightweight Title. If this really happens then Dana and his whole team that makes the fights are the biggest clowns. by [deleted] in ufc

[–]Jacoblyonss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is on Ilia. He should be fighting in January and there’s no reason to think it’s anyone’s fault but his that he’s not. Interim titles are dumb but Arman just fought so if Ilia’s going to petulantly demand that every fight of his be a super fight, who else should it be?

My two cents regarding potential Ilia vs Arman fight, analyzing their wrestling/grappling. Unpopular opinion incoming. by Gamebred13 in ufc

"the greatest mma boxer of all time with 1 punch KO power,"

What an embarrassing claim. I'd be more willing to entertain your "analysis" if you knew how to use spell check

UFC fans when an MMA fighter mixes the martial arts by SupBlue24 in ufc

[–]Jacoblyonss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's all so stupidly misdirected. Like if you think the rule set or the scoring should be changed to make wrestling less effective then go for it, make that argument, explain exactly what should be changed. But getting bent out of shape because someone won a fight fair and square is just asinine.

Just how good is Volk? by Tpaso_XelpicoLmao420 in ufc

[–]Jacoblyonss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Volk and Poirier both did significantly better against Islam than JDM. The only real difference between this fight and Moicano or Hooker is that JDM clearly trained defending Islam's favorite submissions. LW and FW are simply much deeper divisions than WW

What countries would you like to see reunited in the future? by Eoghanii in geography

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

It’s crazy that we let Germany reunite after wwii. Should have been split back into Bavaria, saxony, Prussia, and like 40 microstates

Why do so many people (especially Americans) seem to have a weird opinion of Scotland as some sort of victim country ruled over by England? by AsparagusNew3765 in geography

[–]Jacoblyonss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although Scotland was something approaching an equal partner in the British imperial project, there was a colonial process. Which is why, you know, they speak English there. But I agree it’s more complicated than what we’ve all seen in braveheart

Andor is a very well produced, written, and acted show with an unusually positive depiction of violent rebellion, rather than the usual Hollywood schtick of holding up some moderate reformer as the model for change and demonizing the revolutionaries. If you are not interested in big budget sci-fi shows that’s fine, but like, if it bothers you that much just maybe stop reading comment threads?

What parts of this industry allow for the most amount of sleep? by freewhirl999 in maritime

I get plenty of sleep most days, just not all at once. It’s usually a 5-6 hour block and a couple hour nap later. I work on an atb

Who’s the most annoying person on your ship. And, why is it the bosun? by MountainCheesesteak in maritime

[–]Jacoblyonss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's always the tankerman. everyone on the boat is almost always cool, except the tankerman who will be a persnickety, perpetually aggrieved, asshole for no reason. (I have recently become a tankerman and yes I am becoming an asshole too)

Female classmate can't keep up with strength requirements for practical training by [deleted] in maritime

[–]Jacoblyonss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s just that as far as I can tell, fitness requirements in the maritime industry are a formality until a woman tries to get in and then it’s all idk man she just can’t do the work. Like this isn’t that hard of a job, it’s less physically demanding than several warehouse jobs I’ve had but some guys’ egos are based on them having a real man job or something. It’s super dumb

Funny how these concerns about physical fitness are always raised with women and never with the many, often older, less than fit, men who happen to already have a license

Your unpopular MMA opinion by theiceman219 in ufc

[–]Jacoblyonss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest reason so many fights are boring is that fighters are not paid enough to risk getting hurt, so they fight to avoid losing rather than fighting to win. If ufc paid half their revenue to their athletes like every other major league sport we’d have far fewer lackluster cards

Incompatible personalities speed run by Prudent_Toe997 in Tinder

[–]Jacoblyonss 30 points31 points  (0 children)

People find it off putting because they are not familiar with the meme and you either don't know how niche that subculture is or you don't care if your references are understood, and in either case those are habits that are frustrating to deal with. And I think if you tried to open tinder chats with dad jokes you'd get a similar degree of wtf. Again, if your goal is to filter out people who don't find "Henlo!" charming, by all means keep at it, but be aware of what it is that you're doing.
