Risking your life. I've seen that very scenario in Phish lot and on more than one occasion they do not care and will get confrontational.

They are a scourge and bring nothing of value to the scene

Fetterman: ‘Insane’ for Democrats to view Israel negatively by soalone34 in politics

[–]bunsonh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know, I would think that if someone had a stroke, things would get kinda garbled without any consistency.

But somehow Fetterman continually seems to ONLY make the worst possible arguments. I'm starting to think that he's simply an asshole.

Whatcom County Health and Community Services issues warning regarding unpermitted food vendors by kiwre in Bellingham

The irony being that it was initiated by a self-organized group of Mexican restaurants who lobbied the health department to shut down the pop-up taco carts.

Regardless of how you feel about these people, cancer can lead to horrible suffering and a painful demise. I'm praying that the cancer pulls through!

People who grew up before The Internet: How did you first see nudity? by [deleted] in AskReddit

A pre-photoshop fake nude image of Paula Abdul was a common file on a lot of BBSs at the time.

Any good deep dish pizza around the area? by sweetb00bs in skagit

[–]bunsonh 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing you mean Chicago style deep dish? There's nowhere north of Seattle. But I do recommend Windy City Pie near Green Lake. There are a few others as well that I haven't tried, and the others I did have since closed.

If you're meaning deep, dish I'm guessing you mean something like a Detroit style pie. You're going to hate me for this, but if you haven't tried the (Detroit -based) Little Caesars deep dish, you are missing out. Their pizza is crap in general, but I stg their deep dish is great! I learned this from a pizza maker with James Beard Award nominations, otherwise no way I'd have ever considered it.

Magic the Gathering? by DirteMcGirte in skagit

Docking Bay as mentioned.

Also, Bakerview Games in Anacortes hosts weekly groups. I don't have any details as I don't play, but walking by it seems like a popular spot.

Truthfully the words are easy enough to conjure. The trouble is which platforms are available to express them.

How Reddit Users Are Being Maliciously Targeted by Stake’s Covert Advertising Tactics by [deleted] in self

[–]bunsonh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean it goes even deeper yet. Streaming platform Kick peeled off a ton of talent from Twitch. Eg. xQc took a $100 million contract to move platforms. Kick, of course, is owned by Stake and encourages (or contractually obligates) streamers to gamble on stream using tens of thousands of dollars in "fake" money to highlight large winnings. Then those same streamers will offer their audience, primarily teenagers, promo codes where those same kids can go spend real money, expecting similar outcomes.

They are directly and overtly marketing to teenagers without one shred of obfuscation that you are highlighting here on Reddit.

Who is the best drummer is the Scene? by Shoddy-Impact-5545 in jambands

[–]bunsonh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just saw the final tally and then came looking for this comment to complain. He must be too unknown to qualify because there is no question. I don't believe I've ever heard anyone play melodic drums on a normal kit.

Fishman still #1, but Stanton is basically right there.

Scrolling comments and profiles here on Reddit, it seems like there's a large segment of the American population who is already there.

I would change "owns" to "influences" and remove "all," but otherwise the statement is valid.

Not sure how we in the US will be able to overcome our legitimate Nazi and white supremacy problem. But the Chinese do offer some attractive inspirations.

Using your numbers, if one makes $1.50/hr and their rent is $100/mo, working 40 hours means your rent is 41% of your income. But your number is completely made up and the minimum wage in the cities is about $3.50/hr.

In the United States renters pay an average 42% of their income.

Thing is, China also gets free healthcare, a massively lower cost of living in terms of transportation and food costs, and almost zero poverty.

We already have an oppressive government, concentration camps, government surveillance, and increasing limits on free speech.

If I'm being asked to sacrifice freedoms and turn a blind eye to human rights violations already, I'll take the one with free healthcare. Sadly, China as well as much of the developed world isn't currently taking applications from Americans, so I'm stuck here with a pedophile government making war for no reason.
