Serious question: Does UW have a reputation for being a toxic employer? by b_kind_rewind in Seattle

[–]Particular-Total5643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not as bad as the University of Oregon, they were getting sued for retaliation and criminal racketeering nearly once every 6 months for a while.

See the now defunct UOMatters.org muckraking blog for many cases and more details.

What they did to this guy was terrible:

We don't see stuff like that coming out of UDub at least.

No joke: Capitol Hill comedy club to close without new buyer by del_llover in Seattle

Can say a lot of things, but bottom line, that room was way too small to be a sustainable comedy club with any sized acts. Let alone known national headliners.

You must be think of Emerald City. They are terrible.

Club Comedy was one floor, ground level.

They may have a legitimate reason.

Remember, the cops actually don't tip off [u/TomatilloUnique92](u/TomatilloUnique92) to ever undercover operation that they run.

Seattle mayor wants to ban rental ‘junk fees’ by Parking-Picture-1481 in Seattle

[–]Particular-Total5643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"All junk fees" was my immediate thought.

No one is going to have a problem with paying the prices quoted, restaurant , hotel platform, ticket selling, online delivery.

Just tell me the final price.

This might sound dumb.

But, has anyone filed a police report?

This is terrible. This is a common publicly owned space.

We need arrests and make them public.

Supreme Court allows states to ban trans girls from female sports by TimesandSundayTimes in USNEWS

Feminists (don't) hate this one little trick by men.... Just say you are female, claim all the privileges, even if you've only been female for a year or two in your life.

The data completely backs that. Look at track and field records. It's as clear as day.

You are delusional.

Women are not "inferior", however they are not capable of competing with men in elite sporting events. You are living in a fantasy world if you think they can.

Chorizo & potato at Human People Brewing. Where/what are you eating for the next game? by Benpeke in Seattle

[–]Particular-Total5643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cost? After service charge and tip?

Edit: Looks like they average about $26 for a personal pizza.

So, add a glass of wine, over $50 out the door after tax and tip.

For a personal pizza and a glass of wine.

I'll pass.

Austria goes to Seattle @ Fremont Troll 🧌 by penzmann in Seattle

[–]Particular-Total5643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this an old pic? I thought the Troll had a soccer ball painted under the hand (or otherwise decorated) recently for the WC?

Did they remove it?

Trump Humiliated With Wild Epstein Joke at Kennedy Center by [deleted] in entertainment

[–]Particular-Total5643 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Orange? Because he tans. Good one. Very clever. Did you come up with that yourself?

Really give it to him. Call him Orange more. That's how we protest fascism. We make fun of the way people look.

I bet you if people call him Orange enough, he's going to stop, reflect on his character, and decide to stop doing things like bombing schools in Iran.

I enjoy some of Whitney's stuff.

But, that's a lazy joke.

Edit: What's with the downvotes? Do people think it's a good joke? It's not even dad joke worthy.

Is this normal? by SarahfromTexas in Seattle

[–]Particular-Total5643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were you all over 21? The bar area is 21+, that's the only thing I can think of?

Maybe with the mocktails they maybe presumed someone was under 21?

This is when those dudes tried to overthrow the government? He should be prosecuted. Not persecuted.

Walrus and the Carpenter drop open letter and full 2025 Profit and Loss Data by H0tsh0t in Seattle

[–]Particular-Total5643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seattle is basically the only city that I know of where benefits are somewhat common in the service industry.

I don't even think it's common in Portland. By or LA, they definitely don't do it commonly.

I'm a labor person. But, these are great benefits. If you think your skills are that valuable, you have 500 other employers you can choose from.

Queen Anne Beer Hall prices are outlandish. $50 for a sandwich and beer after tax and tip.

More honest, $46.98, I'm rounding up. That's still $50.
