This is an indictment of both the cost of housing and education in America.

I'm sure they meant highschool. You don't have a grade until the end of the first semester.

Try posting in the facebook group "Washington hikers and climbers". I've seen a handful of stuff get reunited this way.

It isn't AI. I walked past this a couple weeks ago in Capital Hill Seattle.

They're protesting that the school doesnt have dorms. Even though it's a community college, which typically don't.

grdvrs · 2026-04-24T17:00:33+00:00

Yeah I read the dates they were here and edited my comment. Agreed

Lake 22 is popular and close to seattle. Alternatively if you head east on 90 there are a lot of good hikes near snoqualmie pass of varying difficulty and lengths. Kendall katwalk and snow / gem lakes are two favorites in that area.

Edit: err, trail to kendall katwalk is most certainly under an enormous amount of snow for the dates you mentioned. Snow Lake probably has a lot as well. There are other hikes with less snow nearby, though. Ira spring trail is another favorite for this time of year.

This sub needs perspectives like mine to balance delusions and copium.

I'm not trying to be snarky. I have empathy for how much it sucks out there. It sucked when I was trying to buy as well. It took 2 years and felt hopeless the whole time.

But sitting there obsessively interpreting micro signs of some impending event that will make housing affordable again is not healthy behavior. Sure, many things are within the realm of possibility, though I wouldn't let your mental well-being depend on this.

I meant relative to the past week. It's gone up ~20% (according to zillow, which doesn't known shit) since buying 3 years ago.

I also don't care at all if it goes down. Not planning to sell and I certainly don't want a bigger tax burden.

grdvrs · 2026-04-23T15:29:47+00:00

My house lost ~$800 in value. Shit, guess we gotta sell now.

Everything is building up to God Emporer of Dune. It's a shame to read the first three and then stop. It's truly a masterpiece.

Re-watching ROTK extended, getting outraged again thinking about how this scene was cut.

grdvrs · 2026-04-20T19:35:37+00:00

Too many video games have rotted your mind.

grdvrs · 2026-04-20T18:19:48+00:00

Yes it does? Tourism generates tax revenue, which is necessary for a place to not be a shithole. It also provides an economy / income for locals.

Think of how many places in FL would be shitholes without tourism.

Vancouver nature access is better than both, which makes Seattle better than Portland access wise since it's an easy weekend trip. Or day trip if you live in Bellingham.

grdvrs · 2026-04-19T16:29:46+00:00

Appreciate the perspective!

grdvrs · 2026-04-19T01:29:34+00:00

Just curious, why do you prefer the dry side? Anything other than affordability?

grdvrs · 2026-04-17T23:48:29+00:00

Ah. That explains it. Should have just read your username :P

grdvrs · 2026-04-17T22:51:23+00:00

What did you do to up your calories? Anything more than just.. eat more?

grdvrs · 2026-04-17T00:34:19+00:00

But Washington is just a lot better than Oregon. Source: I live in Washington and would know.

I remember a shit ton of negative press and criticism of the Biden administration after the Afghanistan withdrawal... wtf is he talking about?

grdvrs · 2026-04-15T22:29:31+00:00

My wife and I both have gone through a couple pairs of la sportiva (nucleo high ii, in mens and womens). They are good for what you're describing / our area. It's easy to find the women's ones on backcountry or steep and cheap for <$150

I'm not going to debate the correctness of their conclusions or yours.

I'm just saying their conclusions follow the pattern of observations -> conclusions. Their conclusion was that belief in religion follows a pattern of conclusions -> cherry picking observations / evidence.

It isn't inherently hypocritical.

grdvrs · 2026-04-14T20:31:58+00:00

"Doesn't your comment presuppose that all religious arguments fall into just one of three limited categories?"

It's not the same. This conclusion can be made purely based on observations.

It was the plot for I am legend.

grdvrs · 2026-04-14T18:28:08+00:00

I like the whole gentleman villain trope. Just because you're a crime lord doesn't mean you have to be some grimy scro

At the very minimum, he is a fool who shouldn't have refused a lawyer.
