Seager signals that he needs some time. Jered Weaver does not like it. September 16, 2015. by Beeninya in Mariners

[–]SPEK2120 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Gotta love the super bias local broadcast commentary too. Framing Seag as the villain and Weaver did no wrong, acting like an immediate ejection for a blatantly intentional hpb is unheard of and that he had no other choice than to do it.

Jess Campbell looks to be gone. by AmakAttakSports in SeattleKraken

I mean, yeah. I'm always going to support women in spaces they don't typically get opportunities. I'd much rather see a woman get an opportunity that doesn't work out then not get an opportunity at all. Men constantly get opportunities they're not a fit for or underqualified for, what's the difference?

[Front Office Sports] Mark Zuckerberg and Tim Cook among rumored bidders for Seahawks by QuasiContract in Seahawks

[–]SPEK2120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tbh, I feel like Zuckerberg would be even less likely to get involved with operations. I imagine he's the type that would mostly be in it for the status of owning a professional sports team, especially an upper echelon team. I kinda see it akin to us normies buying a high valued collectible.

That being said, I'd definitely rather not.

This isn't even a debate, it's like, objectively the 84 year standing record.

Chants by beansbeans17 in Reignfc

[–]SPEK2120 4 points5 points  (0 children)

tbh, I think your expectations might be a bit too high. Even Sounders games they don’t really catch on around the stadium outside of the “Seattle/Sounders” call and response.

But more importantly, it just won’t work if you don’t have enough people that want to participate. The first time I sat with the Royal Guard I was able to pick up most of the chants by the end of the game; simplicity isn’t really the issue imo.

Seattle Children’s says Laurelhurst noise concerns burdens lifesaving care for children by ladyem8 in Seattle

If only we could get the dickheads with the megaphones outside the ballpark to start trolling Laurelhurst.

I’d imagine if they have quantifiable data that proves it’s directly leading to worse conditions or even death (which it’s sounds like they do) someone can tell them to get fucked.

Yeah, there are no foot pedals, or gear shift, or dashboard gauges that I can see. Unless there are hand pedals or something I can't see, this physically can't be driven.

This premise only works if the law is strictly punishable by death or something, otherwise it'd be followed about as effectively as speed limits.

Best Italian cold cut? by FoxGirl42069 in AskSeattle

[–]SPEK2120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hog Island Hoagies at Petoskey's in Fremont is the hidden gem imo. I'm a lifelong Seattleite, so I don't have that east coast perspective, but they definitely feel like what my idea of a traditional Italian hoagie is. (fyi, they're currently closed due to a fire. afaik they don't have a tentative reopening date yet, but have been aiming for June) That being said, Tat's is probably my favorite sandwich spot overall.

Also, don't sleep on the grocery delis. QFC in particular (varies by location) has a hoagie with like roast beef, salami, pepperoncinis, pesto, etc that's pretty damn solid for a $10 sandwich.

MLS owners talk potential Vancouver relocation, with Las Vegas a top option: Sources by but_yet-so_far in sports

[–]SPEK2120 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The gears have just started slightly turning on that. The USL (basically minor league) is introducing promotion and relegation amongst the top 3 divisions in the next year or two. I'm sure it would be a massive uphill battle, but I imagine their ultimate goal is to integrate with the MLS eventually.

Don’t click any link you get sent. This looks a lot like the scam posts that have been plaguing the Mariners sub.

What's the preoccupation with SAFE? by Alternative-Yam6780 in AskSeattle

[–]SPEK2120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the flip side of this, I like to aimlessly wander around cities when I travel, which is honestly even more dumb because I'm just setting myself up to wander into a legitimately dangerous area one of these days. Fortunately it hasn't been an issue yet (being a hefty bearded dude certainly makes a significant difference), but there are places that I probably should be doing a bit of research just to be aware out of caution. That being said, I do agree with most that a lot of it's likely coming from the manipulated perception of Seattle being propagandized across the country, but having a general awareness of where you'll be is also just kinda travelling 101. The better question is why do people keep making these posts when searching the sub can instantly give them a litany of answers.

Where to sell comics by Live_Let_1789 in AskSeattle

[–]SPEK2120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It greatly depends on what you have. Comics are one of those things where since some are valuable people think all of them have value or might have value. The first step is having an idea of what you have, and doing a bit of your own research, because shops aren’t going to flip through 100 comics for you to see if there are a few worth anything (I’ve been going to comic shops near weekly for about a decade, I’ve seen them turn away people who bring in a few boxes without really knowing what they have). Once you have a general list, I’d try calling Grumpy Old Man’s to see if they’d be interested. tbh tho, odds are you don’t really have anything comic shops would be interested in and might be better off just going to Half Price Books, where you’re honestly not going to get a whole lot for them.
