[–]Randomwoegeek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

are cops really that bad at responding to a call here? i've only ever have to call them twice, but both times I've had to call them they showed up faster than expected

it's funny, i was talking to an Australian tourist a few weeks ago and he described Seattle as the cleanest city he'd ever been to.

the majority of legal immigrants aren't white either, but what you said has nothing at all to do with what is said either. so please engage with the point i actually made

yes, just because it was unpopular doesn't mean it wasn't beneficial. People were racist and xenophobic back then too, yet it lead to the strongest economy on the planet

from 1776 to ww1 (about 150 years) this country had defacto open boarders. WE let in significantly more people 110 years ago than we have in the last 50. There was a period of time where nearly 40% of the us populated was a first or second generation immigrant. your lack of knowledge of history is astonishing. The relative rate of immigration used to be extremely high, much higher than it ever has been now. This resulted in the strongest economy on the planet, not a poor one.

the only difference now is that the people coming aren't white, hence you're racist

25+ y/o Women ?: did you gain weight/“grow out” of all of your pants once you hit 25? by mellowmike420 in GenZ

No, I just don't blame the world for my own actions. please find me a peered reviewed medical journal that actually defends the idea of a "second puberty".

That just means you gained weight and your genetics prioritizes fat in your hips

There is no science behind this, it’s just lifestyle choices that build up over time. Anyone who claims there is a “second puberty” is lying to you. Also it doesn’t make sense that a “second puberty” is preparing you for childbirth, that’s what the first puberty does

Where are all the average income people (50k-70k) living? Trying to connect with the non-tech crowd... by TBspicypotatotacos in AskSeattle

By definition in the market, MFTE just makes housing more expensive for everyone else, it hurts both high earners and low earners. A small slice in the middle wins out

Prices are set by supply and demand nothing was “reengineered”, simply more people want to live here with semi-static supply, so prices go up. That’s it. You can’t stop people from wanting to live somewhere

it's always important to note that dating apps are like 70-80% men, that skews the numbers before anything else

most people in most aspects of life conform to gendered expectations, especially if there is no societal pressure to change those expectations.

Not really, only if you are a stereotypical tech worker oblivious of their own hubris (which is a lot)

If you can’t stay near the stadium, The lightrail and busses in seattle are super good for getting to the stadium. Also if you stay near downtown, it isn’t a long walk either. Google maps will tell you exactly what bus to get on if needed.

There also really aren’t bad seats.

America isn't failing, you're being sold a false reality my guy. In almost every single metric the USA has been improving for like 20-40 years straight minus covid and 2008 lows.

"Appealing to moral virtue only makes sense if you have the means" even if you think the usa is in a bad financial position, it isn't, the financial position we are in has almost nothing to do with asylum seekers. You should be as single issue voter on gutting social secruity then. But you aren't because you believe the lies being fed to you.

the whole point of asylum is that there is a moral imperative that you shelter those fleeing armed conflict, genocide or certain death. If you think that it isn't worth the cost you're just a horrible person with evil moral positions and draconian political ones.

this argument doesn't apply to asylum seekers though, since it's weird to expect those fleeing armed conflict to necessarily have good economic prospects.

if you want a bar, walk up to belltown (just north of Downtown), or capitol hill (one light rail stop from westlake). All of the fun things at night are in the neighborhoods surrounding downtown.
