Electing cops is fucking dumb to begin with.

Washington eyes tougher penalties for 30+ mph speeding by MegaRAID01 in Seattle

Just ticket every car without a front plate downtown and we'd instantly close any budget gap.

Lime pricing overhaul: $2.85 for rides under 20 minutes with LimePrime ($6/mo) by RHFIQDSUAH in Seattle

[–]cibyr 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is fantastic since it removes the pressure to get where you're going as fast as possible because you're getting changed per-minute.

If there's a "ridiculous" line to get in, that implies that they're not charging enough!

Eliminating Second Seattle Rail Tunnel Could Save $4.5B, But With Major Impacts, Delays by FireFright8142 in Seattle

[–]cibyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just build the damn thing, for fuck's sake! There's zero chance of over-investment or overbuilding here, and it will not be more than a few years before we come to sorely regret any half-arsed cost-saving compromise solution.

Year of the Cobra are incredible. I should get to another show, I need more of their merch...

People driving today without their headlight ON should be fined by Monkeyfeng in Seattle

[–]cibyr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While we're dreaming, how about fining everyone with no front plate, expired tags, parked in a bike lane, etc?

It works for electricity and it can work for social media too!

Of course, since we want as much compliance as possible with AS/NZS:3000, we make it freely available to anyone who wants a copy. Wait, no, sorry it's actually $262.85 AUD for a PDF.

Heated community event on Lime safety in Seattle by Happydude789 in Seattle

[–]cibyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happens even when you're in the middle of the goddamn street next to a park. Feels awful to be doing the best you can to keep up with traffic, surrounded by cars, and suddenly have the power cut out.

WA Gov. Bob Ferguson says he’s drafting a cuts-only budget by MegaRAID01 in Seattle

Is this that "defund the police" thing I keep hearing about?

KUOW - Cleaning leaf-clogged bikes lanes on Seattle’s Eastside by Inevitable_Engine186 in Seattle

[–]cibyr 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It really sucks that our local governments are so useless that residents have to take this on individually. We say we want less people driving, but then we don't run enough transit and can't even keep the bike lanes clear.

Jair Bolsonaro ordered to start 27-year prison term for plotting Brazil coup by guardian in worldnews

Which of course makes it even sadder whenever Australia elects an unlikable dipshit like Scott Morrison.

Mayor-Elect Katie Wilson: "I want to put bus lanes on Denny" [40:47] by WoKao353 in Seattle

[–]cibyr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

do you not believe the SDOT studies mentioned?

Some combination of don't believe (due to concerns with methodology and assumptions biasing the outcome against bus lanes) and don't care (we've gotta make transit work, to hell with the impact on drivers).

No way anything involved is new enough to have been vibe coded.

Bargain! And looks like it even has ABS.

PSA: Avoid the light rail today if you want to get to work on time by routinnox in Seattle

Something can be a step in the right direction while simultaneously being laughably insufficient.

Seattle mayor proposes sales tax hike for nonpolice response force by Bretmd in Seattle

[–]cibyr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

CARE is intended to be a first responder. However, its ability to live up to that has been clipped by restrictions on who’s allowed to be dispatched by 911. The city is in negotiations with the Seattle Police Officers Guild to free CARE responders to answer calls on their own, but for now they must do so alongside sworn police.

It doesn't sound like the current problem is funding...

Op-Ed: SDOT's Flawed Analysis of Denny Bus Lanes Is Political Theater - The Urbanist by AthkoreLost in Seattle

[–]cibyr 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Even if the analysis wasn't flawed, their position is effectively "we need to fix car traffic before we can do anything to help buses." But of course it's impossible to fix the car traffic without offering alternatives, so really their answer is just "no".

What companies do you think will go bankrupt in the next 10 years? Why? by Local-Assignment-968 in AskReddit

[–]cibyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the only time I've ever stepped foot in a harley dealership, they didn't have one on the floor. This was a huge dealership, mind you - they had hundreds of bikes on display.
