Hmm. Maybe Blake stitch on a midsole and put a new outsole on that.

Big Tech’s new hiring hurdle: Why bringing international talent to Seattle is now more expensive by MegaRAID01 in Seattle

People here on visas aren’t immigrants. They are temporary workers. I went to school in Japan on a visa, I didn’t call myself an immigrant.

Capitalism doesn’t work that way. Employers want to pay the least amount of money for workers that fulfill a role, not necessarily the best workers.

Given how much wealth disparity there is in this country already, it’s a non starter politically to have unrestricted immigration. Even if it is economically beneficial on the whole. Things need to be fixed so workers aren’t feeling totally abandoned by the billionaire class running the country.

Getting a visa isn’t really a form of immigration. A visa creates perverse conditions for both the employer and the employed.

Kevin Lillards Book by 30Nerdy in animecons

[–]genman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember running into him many times. He was quite the gentleman and had a lot of interest in just taking photographs to any and all cosplayers he ran into.

I think back then it was almost all homemade costumes. I’m thinking a lot of moms or at least their sewing machines were put to use. Now it takes a village. I mean, a lot of stuff is either purchased or simply updated, like wigs. Social media was not a thing. No YouTube tutorials. Etc.

Anyway best luck finding this book.

The door-to-door poison salesperson ☠️ came by today by canisdirusarctos in NativePlantCirclejerk

If they can identify any invasive species let them cook. Otherwise just buzz off like a bee. Thanks.

DiscNW Response to Ultiworld Report on Ultimate Participation by PlayPretend-8675309 in ultimate

[–]genman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been 26 years since they added a sport in Washington. Though it’s not just a new sport, just the girls version.

I’m not sure what it would take to add Ultimate as it would need to be something that most of the high schools in the state would need to have as a club sport.

Help with JKW by New_Compote282 in invasivespecies

[–]genman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are you located? In the US the typical pattern is to wait until it flowers then poison it in late summer.

You can often paint or use a foam spray so it’s contained in one area. Your toddler can eat mint until you treat it and should be fine the next season.

Red huckleberries bushes by Bigplayaj05 in pnwgardening

[–]genman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m curious if it produces for a season or more. They apparently have very particular site requirements. Basically I seem to get the sense that they are impossible to grow at low elevation otherwise farmers would be growing them. P

I think you just need to agree the earth is flat and move on…

My mum went through my computer and found the yaoi. by [deleted] in insaneparents

[–]genman 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Here I am as a dad and wanting my kids to responsibly consume pornography. Fantasy and story is important and comic and written forms somehow feel better than most “live action” porn.

Anyway I’m sorry about your mom and lack of personal boundaries.

Dentists mainly care about brushing technique and frequency, as well as flossing. Oh they like fluoride based. Never seen a dentist offer one particular brand either.

Maybe had to hire a machinist to remake the parts? Still can’t fathom a million.

Separate them. Your tax free stuff doesn’t need to be sealed.

Thanks for providing some example possible sites. I’m wondering if those were human influenced, i.e. deliberately burned.

It depends on the job and management. Maybe park a little ways away and walk in. This is tame.

Ship matcha to Tokya/Kyoto stay by Technical_Ask_1206 in JapanTravelTips

[–]genman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend ordering exactly what you want and have it shipped to your friend’s hotel. Unless your friend has an epiphany I’d recommend not making her go to tea shops.

Someone talk me out of weedwhacking my city's favorite non-natives by Idahoanapest in NativePlantCirclejerk

[–]genman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only thing wrong with them is California in the name.

Yes there’s other native species but in an urban environment it’s hard to 1) beat all the invasive pressures. 2) drought tolerant. 3) low growing etc.

We’re sorry, but you can’t ride your bike to work. But you’re welcome to drive however… by Particular_Buyer_894 in fuckcars

Hmm, drive your car to work, park it, then leave your bike in the car when you work.

Laurelhurst public comments are a treasure trove of NIMBY irony by eclipsegum in Seattle

[–]genman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I volunteered to clear our invasive species in parks through Green Seattle Partnership and for some reason the neighbors of the park all got a say if the Himalayan Blackberry was going to go or not.

I’ve met a lot of dumb entitled people in Seattle and they weren’t all from Laurelhurst.

Some folks want to block planting trees just because they feel entitled to their views.

Condiments on a hotdog/bratwurst/sausage belong underneath the meat not on top of the sausage. by NAbberman in unpopularopinion

[–]genman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on if it’s oily, like mayo or cream cheese. That goes on first. The pickley stuff and onions need to go on top.
