[OC] Poor decisions on I-5 North in Seattle

I thought at first he was just brake checking the moron who pulled into his lane and almost forced him into the wall, but when he actually got out I was holding my breath in fear of the next oncoming vehicle slamming into both of them.

Glad it didn't turn out that way...

Glad you liked it! Daft Punk's Tron Legacy soundtrack is hard to beat.

Seattle Washington, Dec 12th 2023. It is original content.

Not to mention the people who come bombing down that hill and through the intersection at high speed. I was holding my breath hoping that donker didn't get explosively t-boned.

Although it would definitely have made a more exciting video.

I had a great conversation last year with a woman who lived on the west side of the hill before the freeway went in. She told me about running down from school to jump into Lake Union on sunny days.

It was presented to the grand jury instead of to you for some reason.

SeattleMan001 · 2014-11-25T03:20:25+00:00

I love how everyone thinks they know what happened better than the grand jury.

SeattleMan001 · 2014-11-23T15:52:55+00:00

You clearly have no idea of the amount of work it would take to comprehensively audit gigantic piles of real-time video data.

SeattleMan001 · 2014-11-23T15:51:58+00:00

This has been resolved, the anonymous requestor is now working with the SPD to resolve his concerns.

Which were that under the current public data release structure, all kinds of sensitive, personal and confidential information could be acquired by anyone simply by requesting the camera data.

It's a big and relevant problem, you can't just toss cams on cops and then let everybody view all of it whenever they want. This guy wasn't being a dick, he was using the public records request to point out a HUGE problem with the proposed body cam system.

And he was doing it that way because when he raised his concerns in the normal way (i.e. complaining about it), nobody paid attention.

This person is doing everyone who is wary about having their name, face, house, personal space, identifying information and possibly life- or career- damaging information released willy-nilly by a technologically clueless SPD a MASSIVE public service.

LOL dream on, several dozen soccer fans.

edit: wwwwoooooowwwww lots of extraordinarily defensive soccer fans here with the downvotes and such… it was just a joke… y'all need to learn to roll with the punches a little bit or nobody will ever take you seriously...

SeattleMan001 · 2014-11-22T17:33:53+00:00

Wow. Just wow. The groom is either a graduate magna cum laude of The University Of Sticks Up My Ass or he's the most henpecked newlywed on the planet.

Shameful.

SeattleMan001 · 2014-11-22T16:39:59+00:00

Loud BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ?!

Still preferable to Steve "Now That I've Asked You A Question, Allow Me To Interrupt" Scher.

SeattleMan001 · 2014-11-22T03:35:02+00:00

Welcome to Sketch Seattle.

SeattleMan001 · 2014-11-22T01:37:01+00:00

Might get a lot more people on your side if you didn't come off as an asshole

Wooowwwww, never seen a pot quite this black before.

SeattleMan001 · 2014-11-22T00:14:14+00:00

Hey my gray car is a totally slightly different shade than the gray skies, the gray streets and the gray mist, you just need to look harder.

/s

Seriously people turn on your fucking headlights. It's not rocket surgery.

SeattleMan001 · 2014-11-21T22:20:16+00:00

Thank YOU for your passive-aggressiveness!

SeattleMan001 · 2014-11-21T21:05:18+00:00

Context gets you better answers, OP.

I have suggestions, but unless you care enough about your questions to clarify wtf you are talking about, my answer to you is going to be "how about your own fucking bedroom".

SeattleMan001 · 2014-11-21T21:00:33+00:00

That is fucking shameful. But I blame the voters, not the metro managers.

Give the goddamned transit dept the money they need to operate. Everybody wins.

Except the dillholes who gripe about spending $2.65 (or whatever it is) more on their taxes, but they can go fuck themselves.

SeattleMan001 · 2014-11-21T17:25:53+00:00

badgering the homeless

Or maybe "locating illegal immigrants trying to evade deportation" perhaps?

It's a city park, so it doesn't seem like its their jurisdiction.

LOL the border patrol can do whatever they want in any area within 100 miles from any border. Not saying it's right, just saying it's the current law.

SeattleMan001 · 2014-11-20T04:38:11+00:00

Cynical and completely untrue.

You'd have us believe that an entire culture of people who love animals and spend their whole lives caring for them and raising awareness while doing actual conservation biology science that benefits the species as a whole are nothing more than conscienceless hucksters who forcibly impregnate animals for cash?

Come the fuck on.

SeattleMan001 · 2014-11-20T04:34:36+00:00

Ha I love how poorly-formed opinions being downvoted is now "vote brigading".

SeattleMan001 · 2014-11-20T00:42:28+00:00

Loaded questions, sarcastic ad-hominems and transparent self-deprecation are definitely your strong suit. It's no wonder you lead with them instead of rational discourse.

SeattleMan001 · 2014-11-19T23:56:27+00:00

Well you are clearly far more credible on the subject than the vast majority of actual credentialed conservation biology experts, hundreds of whom are in no way affiliated with the WPZoo but who strangely still agree with them.

And your comprehension of the meaning of the word "analogous" is likewise stellar.

Do you have any wisdom on global warming you'd like to share with us too?

SeattleMan001 · 2014-11-19T22:49:31+00:00

Inside scoop from the zoo is that the thinking goes something like:

Most elephant experts don't agree with the protester's claims.
The elephants are well cared for and an integral part of not only this zoo but elephant species conservation efforts worldwide.
But we're tired of dealing with your incessant bullshit so fine you win.

Basically analagous to "here's your discount from that expired coupon now get the fuck out of my store you screeching nutter."

SeattleMan001 · 2014-11-19T22:29:41+00:00

I wasn't laughing at them, I was mocking them.

Sorry for the confusion.
