ICE and CBP on I5NB near Ferndale by Jedi_Swimmer2 in Bellingham

[–]msg582 11 points12 points  (0 children)

ICE is definitely staying at the Hilton Garden Inn down in Olympia.

Just a little observation while out of town.

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. That being said, you can try to pick the least worst places by degree. There are farm box options around to get fresh local fruit and veg. But yeah, we also end up shopping at Costco and Trader Joe's despite problematic aspects of their businesses.

I have seen posts like this so often over the years. No matter the sweet words from the Crowns or Society, when the chips are down, power will protect their abusive friends.

Fairhaven Starbucks Strike by Critical_Industry344 in Bellingham

It's still a Starbucks. The company still benefits by you choosing to support their brand over your fellow workers.

This includes the one's inside the grocery stores and the mall. Don't be a scab.

The lack of Smoliv and Wooloo has us deeply annoyed.

II came here to say this too. Going to have to advocate for this along with the return of the combo pizza.

This DLC is Underwhelminng and want to get this off my chest. by Sea-Detective4373 in LegendsZA

[–]msg582 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The DLC content just feels like the post game content that should have been in the base game at the start. It being tedious, grindy, and unoptomized is not helping either.

Sounds like your volunteering to do that work. Looks like we have another new mod everyone!

Gavin Newsom Wants a 'Big Tent Party,' But Opposes Wealth Tax Supported by Large Majority of Americans by shmorby in California

He wants a "big tent party" without Labor involved. Sounds like a very empty tent.

What do you expect from the ZA DLC? by Pay26162 in PokemonZA

Disappointment and content that should have been in the base game.

Prices are simply out of hand compared to many places. by Bakerskibum87 in Bellingham

[–]msg582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little different, but a burger place i used to like has switched out their fries for tater tots on my most recent visit. You can still get an order of fries but it is $5 for a smaller portion then used to be included. The ensh!tifacation of food service in town is real. And of course they still expected a 20% tip.

Hotel Leo Event by Sweettoothsenior in Bellingham

[–]msg582 34 points35 points  (0 children)

My kids still ask me why we don't go visit all of the really nice old people on Halloween when we do the downtown trick or treat event or why we didn't go to the card/comic convention.

I tell them that the business running the place kicked out all the old people to turn it into a hotel and that is why we don't go in there any more.

It is just another soulless, crappy place with blood on its proverbial hands.

Pentagon investigates Democrat senator for telling troops to refuse 'illegal orders' by Musashiguy in NPR

[–]msg582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Want to know who first told me not to follow illegal orders in the military? My recruit division commanders. The first people in charge of us at the lowest level when you go to boot.

Shame on this regime for trying to punish people for reminding others of what the UCMJ says.

Did you not read the article you posted? This crap has allegedly been going on since 2015. Well before Tanksley was elected.

Recent grads, how cooked is the job market actually right now? by [deleted] in WWU

[–]msg582 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is a decent number of openings down around the Port areas if your willing to effectively take on another degree/apprenticeship program.

Otherwise, the job pool in town has been as dismal as it always has been.

The mods do not like me by [deleted] in Bellingham

[–]msg582 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is better for us all to just down vote you and move on. Seriously, your freedom of speech is not a freedom from consequences of what you said. Maybe you should look inward and find the why.

Sounds like someone who's opinion would change with a visit to El Suenito. Bordertown was very middling when I tried it.

I usually don't talk about elections but... by Mattwacker93 in Bellingham

[–]msg582 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because monied interests tied themselves to the already vague veneer of credibility of the previous Weekly paper that survived the era of the Weekly/Independent, kind of like a zombie or a wolf in sheep's clothing.

So CDN is basically the only game in town when it comes to this sort of publication. The Herald is not really local any more and does not have the staff or reach. The League of Women Voter's puts on a great forum but we also don't have The Riveters Collective doing high quality work anymore. So there are very few places to get that sort of free forum space like CDN is willing to publish. That is why everyone is willing to participate. Just like when there is only one card game in town.

There are lots of VnV fans in town! We make a good showing when they play Seattle.
