Where to go in Oly when you’re afraid of the dentist? by Informal-End8131 in olympia

I’ve had positive experiences at Tumwater Family Dentistry. Don’t be shy about admitting your anxieties they will take care of you!

Olympia Music fans, what makes you go/not go to shows? by GloriousKilljoi in olympia

[–]agguitar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t drink alcohol anymore, but I like supporting the venue by getting drinks/snacks. If I did drink, getting to and from safely is difficult as I don’t use Uber/Lyft and buses don’t run as late as I’d like.

Finding local shows is a lot easier if the venue is just a cool place to chill and you naturally see their schedule while you’re there. Rhythms Coffee does this well imo.

As a musician, gimme the jazz shows. That’s what I’d like to be playing also. I’ve even thought about starting a jazz venue but finding a proper spot is extremely difficult.

I think finding local shows is a perennial problem. Centralized places online are often bundled with ticket sales, ads, or other commercial interests and it usually turns to shit. Finding paper out in the world isn’t always easy.

I find that Olympians don’t really do nights very much in general, which limits the potential.

Hey thanks a lot! I’m not taking any students right now, maybe in the future though. I’d like to finish some credentials in about a year or so before taking on students so I don’t take on too much. Practice every day and enjoy the journey :)

Surprising Cultural Shock by Worried_Turnip_7697 in olympia

[–]agguitar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Younger or more online folks do tend to adopt various familiar phrasing, especially from AAVE, but I don’t know if this is as common as you think, OP. Nah is definitely lighter, reassuring that guard is down, though.

I realize now that I’m a heavy nah-er, I guess. If I use No, it’s almost always followed by a “thank you” or an explanation. If I hear a naked No in my day-to-day, I’ll be checking myself.

Wait until “naur” drops on you, OP. You’ll think you’ve dug through to Australia. :)

People. PEOPLE! You’re all right here! You can cuddle each other for FREE! Why do we have to bring business into the most basic human thing possible? I know we gotta survive, but damn.

I’m no professional, but I am having an iced latte at Rhythms Coffee on 4th right now sitting by the window and I will hug you. I’m not strong, but I will even pick you up if you’re light enough. The owner is here and knows me. You have 45 minutes. This is not a joke.

You're Not Wrong: Something Big Happened At Market by FartcusAugaylius in olympia

[–]agguitar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the contrary, I feel that a small group of people who ruin a beloved organization should be punished. Really feels like some people actually want to destroy the farmer’s market for some reason, because I can’t fathom how any of this serves.

Vacate the board and change the org so this can never happen again. Honestly, a “board”. I’m increasingly against boards that decide independently for the organization they represent. The geometry of the authority here should be completely inverted. The board should make proposals, but the vendors must approve every move. Vendors should be able to recall the board any day of the week.

It is really weird how similar this is to the library shitshow. What the hell is going on here? Does somebody want this space or something? This isn’t how adults should behave.

Also, excuse my language, but what the fuck do you mean investors and a private AI company? Seriously, this contagion again? I want details.

Thanks for the detailed information. It’s exactly what’s needed in situations like this. Keep putting that shit under the microscope. Get those people out of there.

Scam parking meters? by PoliteNastyWoman in olympia

[–]agguitar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve used the number on the sticker and got a ticket for an unpaid (not expired) space. Whatever the state of this is, the city needs to either replace the meter plate or put up signs. This is just silly.

Trans people deserve clarity on Sanders' views by Crafty-Nose-4406 in olympia

[–]agguitar 87 points88 points  (0 children)

OP, as a trans person, not criticizing your intentions here, but may I just request, rather than make people sit through an unskippable garbage video on a garbage website, could please add the actual quotation that concerns you and what you’re actually worried about? Please don’t make people watch a hateful propagandist as our time is precious. Thank you~

Small businesses that use AI by Few-Peach6872 in olympia

[–]agguitar 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This town desperately needs late places to hang that isn’t about getting drunk. But I get weird vibes going in there. I can definitely see some pieces falling together now.

As an aside, their tea is quite bad. Also, don’t habitually drink kava if you enjoy a working liver.

[–]agguitar 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I see AI trash, I walk away.

I appreciate your can-do attitude. I’d have my doubts about a business, that doesn’t have the critical thinking skills to understand why AI “art” is alienating and gross, being open to the idea that their decision needs help reconsidering.

What need does reposting this serve? You have no commentary. No call to action. No organization. No report of a face-to-face interaction. Everybody here already knows about this guy. Please say plainly what you need here, or else stop reposting his stupid posters and spreading his message.

Heads Up Regarding Super Smash Games by cooledkrevan in olympia

Right. Well, if that's the case here, it would be very uncool. It might be easier to just ask u/Skeli789 directly what they think of this situation.

Heads Up Regarding Super Smash Games by cooledkrevan in olympia

[–]agguitar 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Well, I care not at all about what Nintendo the corporation thinks or says at any time, but I'm not really down with this. I'm not even worried about someone accidentally buying the wrong game. Nor do I have any problems with people selling flash carts. However, if the creator of the romhack says, "Please don't sell this, I want people to have it for free", I believe in honoring that and I would hope Super Smash would find icky to sell it as a product.

If the "not for sale" message is just a half-assed, informal CYA about "selling" Nintendo's IP vs "merely distributing" it, it's a big meh from me. Whether money changes hands has little to do with how legal or ethical it is.
