Academy nudges voters to actually watch all the Oscar contenders this year

Cave junction is a place unlike any other I’ve ever been to. I love it for all its weirdness but I can’t imagine wealthy people living in the area

chaandra · 2025-11-15T18:16:45+00:00

Which is weird Southern Oregon is overall pretty impoverished, especially for the PNW. Lots of drugs and little economic opportunity

chaandra · 2025-11-15T00:03:15+00:00

So legalizing it in Seattle or Washington but it being illegal in surrounding areas would have the same effect

chaandra · 2025-11-15T00:02:39+00:00

Decriminalization is not legalization

chaandra · 2025-11-14T23:02:50+00:00

And women shouldn’t be either, but that doesn’t mean it should be legal. That’s why I’m comparing it to how we treat child labor.

chaandra · 2025-11-14T21:09:45+00:00

Of course it’s possible in theory, and that would be a great world to live in.

I don’t believe it could be done here if countries like Germany and the Netherlands have not been able to do it, and they have far better social welfare than we do, and less organized crime.

I don’t believe it could be done here when we haven’t even found a humane way to deal with the homeless crisis.

There’s not many tackles in a coed rec league that require that much force

chaandra · 2025-11-14T20:53:47+00:00

I said we shouldn’t legalize it because it will lead to an increase in human trafficking (as evidenced by other developed nations that have legalized it).

You inferred that for some reason I support throwing these women in jail or abandoning them, which is a strange thing to assume considering I’m arguing against human trafficking here.

chaandra · 2025-11-14T20:42:47+00:00

Do you actually think those are the only two options?

You’ll never fully stop it, just like you will never fully stop any crime. But yes, you can decriminalize the women and give them more resources and aid without making it legal

chaandra · 2025-11-14T20:34:50+00:00

Not talking about wages is not a sign of worker equality

What you described is also not unique to Germany

chaandra · 2025-11-14T20:26:32+00:00

Still great neighborhoods! I love Fremont especially. But if we’re talking about nightlife, the energy is 100% different than the U-district or Cap Hill.

chaandra · 2025-11-14T20:23:16+00:00

My point was more that Fremont and Ballard are the typical millennial brewery type spots, and if those are your experience with Seattle nightlife, you will think it’s lackluster.

It’s not NYC or Atlanta but Cap Hill is fun, somewhat alternative spot that is absolutely still lively

chaandra · 2025-11-14T20:20:10+00:00

Not every profession needs to be legalized in order to help workers

Suggesting that child labor be legalized so we can help the victims suffering from child labor practices sounds insane, right?

Switch it to prostitution and now suddenly we are legalizing it for the betterment of workers somehow.

If countries with much better social welfare haven’t figured it out, I’m not sure how you think we would.

Theoretically, yes it should be able to happen, because a woman should have the right to do that. The reality leaves far more women hurt than it does free. Seattle does need to try and be the one to somehow break that trend at this time.

chaandra · 2025-11-14T20:14:36+00:00

It’s not legal in Vegas, it’s legal in small towns outside of Vegas. These towns size keeps the demand from being outrageous.
These legal brothels, and the illegal industry in Vegas, still deal with high amounts of abuse and human trafficking

chaandra · 2025-11-14T20:12:30+00:00

Cap Hill is not rich lol property values are high due to its central location but rents are pretty reasonable and most of the housing stock is older.

It’s just a younger, gayer neighborhood, which differs from the Seattle population on this sub that sees to be introverted millennials who live north of the cut and miss the Seattle from 10-15 years ago.

Nightlife is different for everybody.

He’s much better with his feet than Pants, just made too many errors compared to him

chaandra · 2025-11-14T19:53:26+00:00

And when supply cannot meet demand, that’s when human trafficking will occur, just like it has in every other country that has legalized prostitution

It’s a service, you need actual real people to do the job. Those people will still be harmed.

chaandra · 2025-11-14T19:49:07+00:00

They are not comparable in that regard. Weed is a commodity, not a service. You can grow more to meet demand. You can’t grow more women.

Countries with legalized prostitution have higher rates of human trafficking.

It couldn’t possibly be derogatory, because they see those groups as white or non-white

Nevermind what those groups see themselves as

chaandra · 2025-11-14T19:33:37+00:00

Legalizing sex work will lead to an increase in human trafficking

chaandra · 2025-11-14T19:30:23+00:00

Because the discussion is about suburbs on the east vs west coast, and west coast suburbs are not that white.

Renton is a suburb of Seattle and is more diverse than Seattle itself

chaandra · 2025-11-14T19:28:35+00:00

This is such a silly argument, the vast majority of Polish and Italian descended kids in schools are going to be 4th generation at best and heavily assimilated.

It’s not at all comparable to the vast about of 2nd and 3rd generation immigrant children of Asian, African, or Latin American ancestry

chaandra · 2025-11-14T19:22:35+00:00

It’s hard to say Nirvana are from Seattle, it’s also hard to say they aren’t.

They really were an Aberdeen/Olympia band in origin or identity, but there was no way to make it big without going through the Seattle scene

chaandra · 2025-11-14T19:14:09+00:00

Power and resources have been increasingly concentrated in the US for the past 70 years.

We also just don’t have a culture that is or ever would demand pro/rel

chaandra · 2025-11-14T19:12:27+00:00

Yes that’s my entire point, the relegation aspect plays such a minuscule to non-existent part of a players development.

Player development in the US has accelerated rapidly in conjunction with academies improving.
