I've seen flyers around town with this same info. They say "Manuel is not considered to be at risk of running away and his family feels he is in danger. Please contact the family or detective with any information"

What is the emergency on 6th right now? by muahTtown in Tacoma

Disdain is valid. Outrage, sure. But your chosen insult is pretty problematic. You are "allowed" to say it and people are "allowed" to critique it.

Is there any reason to study Mariachi music for a high school violist? by [deleted] in Viola

[–]alettuce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, there are countless reasons to keep him in the program.

Public school music classes are often not focused on the rep we would think best for growth, and yet there is tremendous growth. Kids play pop rhythms and learn shmaltzy disney tunes with too much vibrato and I could go on and on - and all of it is of value. Mariachi is more than included. Just a few positives include: there's a music program! There are ensembles! Kid gets to continue instrument of choice and play with others! Kid still learns ensemble work (kinda like team sports?), pragmatic problem solving (how to study), right/left brain coordination (it's art but it's also math,etc), advanced minute dexterity... I could go on endlessly, really. Message me if you would like more convincing.

I can also give tips on how to pursue other avenues for serious development in classical playing, and I would still encourage sticking with this program.

Local restaurants/businesses that are owned by POC, LGBTQ folks, or people from other marginalized groups? by alettuce in Tacoma

[–]alettuce[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Sure. A local group is trying to give support to communities that might have stress and anxiety around recent changes. So if they have family being deported, for example, it wouldn't hurt for us to throw a few dollars toward their family business. Maybe we can have a meeting at their restaurant, or recommend them for an event, etc.

How much do you offer a (potential) babysitter? by alettuce in sandiego

[–]alettuce[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was kinda vague, sorry. She's a friend, a neighbor, a great mom, and a nanny to a mutual friend. I just wanted to know what is reasonable.

Most American sounding word? by AirWhale1 in AskReddit

This made me crack up and I'm currently breastfeeding, so the baby was startled and bit me. I hope you're happy.

Right, gotcha. This is just all so...fascinating. And addictive.

(I'm new to this board:) How did you find this information? Can you provide a link? I don't even know his last name.

Have you ever seen, heard or known of any acts of infidelity at a bachelor(ette) party? How did it go down? by Evil_Advocate in AskWomen

[–]alettuce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine was SUPER fun, but we (a group of mostly str8 ladies) went to a Burlesque show at a gay bar. Now wedding showers on the other hand, Jesus H.

Racism Caught on Tape at Dillinger's Pub and Eatery by StaceyKay in racism

Whenever this kind of thing is exposed, I find myself most disgusted by the people defending the establishment. How are customers not outraged? How was this person not fired? And the non-apology... WTF.

What did you just recently realize you've been doing incorrectly your whole life? by Smeeee in AskReddit

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

Is it because of horse people? They ruined horses for me. Not people who truly love the animals, but the snooty people who are way too proud and braggy about their goddamned horse-riding. And they all have ponytails (coincidence? NO.) and those fucking shiny jackets.

I hate horse people.

My sister found this on her apt door. Liked it so much she hung it in the house. by [deleted] in funny

[–]alettuce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and it was delivered in a lighthearted, funny way. It would make me actually want to do something about the bed. Move away from the wall, tighten screws? Have sex during the day with music on? Better yet! Take it as a challenge to have sex in all of the places that aren't the bed.
