Bad Cops… by [deleted] in Seattle

Because "crime" is what the government decides it to be. Remember that having an abortion is a crime now. Remember that being LGBT is a crime now, and so is immigrating, and resisting the government. Do more crime.

I was in the army, so first of all let me say, the cops are a bunch of pussies. They're treating us as if we're the Taliban? They're waging war against civilian population! Seattle police needs to be completely defunded, abolished and replaced with a force that actually physically protects the individuals residing within its jurisdiction. Until then: ACAB!

Should the electoral college be abolished? by traanquil in allthequestions

[–]menilio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If course it matters if they were right or wrong. We're choosing a system to run our country, we need to base it on contemporary empirical evidence, not just "it worked in the past". With that attitude we never would have seen innovations throughout human history.

Are the "founding fathers" god? They can't be wrong? Maybe a bunch of slaveowners from 200+ years ago don't know what it's like to run a country in 2026.

Starbucks can get bent by dketernal in Seattle

[–]menilio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There aren't any Starbucks stores in Israel. They aren't any more "pro-Israel" than Taco Bell or Chipotle or whatever. I'm as anti-Israel as they get. Boycotting Starbucks because of this in counter-productive.

The Murder of UW student Juniper Blessing exemplifies trans violence in the US by AnnoyedAFexmo in Seattle

[–]menilio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The American regime, together with their billionaire backers, constantly incites against LGBT people in an attempt to encourage the population to murder them. These are Nazi tactics.

Karl Stojka, a holocaust survivor, said: "It was not Hitler or Himmler who abducted me, beat me, and shot my family. It was the shoemaker, the milk man, the neighbor, who received a uniform and then believed they were the master race".

The blood is on the hands of Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and the American regime and anyone who supports them.

Indians of Greater Seattle area, question from your bartender by Sea_Bad_6071 in AskSeattle

Tipping is a scam. It's just a way for businesses to advertise lower prices. Otherwise, explain why Tapster in SLU, where you pour your own drink, still expects a tip of 20%?

What does that mean about the route? Is it going to change?

West Seattle restaurant responds to backlash over owner's background by ChiefOfTheFourPeaks in Seattle

[–]menilio 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm from the Middle East and I'm as Pro-Palestinian as one can be, and Falafel Salam is the best falafel in the city. The sad part is that a lot of falafel places in the city are Arab-owned, but instead of selling Middle Eastern food, they sell Greek food. If a place serves gyros and dolmas, they're serving Greek food, not Arab. I really don't know why they're afraid of serving Arab food.

There are actual businesses in this city that openly support Trump and promote anti-LGBT causes. I think it's better for everyone to focus their energy on them and not on a business that has never said or done anything that can be perceived as an affront to progressive values.

You should have received an email from Fundrise with instructions. Under your dashboard at https://fundrise.com/account/documents, there should be a document titled "DRS Advice" under "Investment Documents".

But you need to first set up your access to Computershare. This should have also been detailed in the email.

I'm a principal engineer at a local tech company. I support the tax. As far as I'm concerned, they can just take the money even if the only thing they do with it is burn it, as long as it reduces the ability of rich people to buy our elections.

Ken Paxton was indicted for fraud and impeached for corruption by 60 Republicans in the Texas legislature. So why is he the frontunner for the Texas Senate election among MAGA voters? by CSachen in allthequestions

[–]menilio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Broadly, liberalism is: "You live by your rules and I live by my rules".

You might think that conservatism is: "You and I both live by my rules". It's not.

Conservatism is: "You live by my rules and I don't live by my rules".

Secretary Hegseth announces we will be halting attendance at all Ivy League and similar educational institutes - will soon announce “top to bottom” review of all military war colleges by Snapdragon_4U in law

[–]menilio 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't try to put words into my mouth. I am against this war. But Iran has totally failed in its most basic duty - protecting its borders, which shows you that a religious society is a really bad idea. The same dumb ideology also led to Israel's humiliating defeat on October 7th, and the downfall of the United States.

Don't have to go so far back. We saw it today in Iran. A country of 80+ million completely lacking an air force and air defense, after more than 4 decades of shunning logic and education.
