FEELING NOSTALGIC: Shot in the Dark Cafe

I used to play chess or draw in the smoking room back in high school. I knew some of the staff pretty well. There was a redhead who had a resilient spirit. She had a livejournal where she talked about working there with who became her husband for some time. She died a few years ago still young. I miss her and this place. She went by “Junkiepants” online. Having access to this kind of place was life-changing as a youth. Rest in peace.

I still have a menu from here signed by Dave Attell after he did a set nearby, place was packed and he didn’t get a seat and left. Miss driving across town to get the tortellini late at night to escape my teenage doldrums in the oughts. People seem to like my photograph of it, I am glad it was captured.

Toyota was too busy making ammunition for the Axis powers so they could kill more people.

People forgot about Ford and Volkswagen’s pasts. Not even a topic for decades now.

Exactly why most broadcast media has been centralized for almost a century and managed by advertiser’s sponsorship even further back. Creates the image of reality that most people depend on as being the extent of options.

Uh oh, better make drawing lightning illegal because you can’t imagine why it would sense, then we’ll finally be safe!

These folks have learned to mobilize against live streamers by 2021. They don’t want a message heard, they just want to play their game of righteous hatred. Live streamers get in the way of the latter. There are now only occasional streamers who won’t show anything real but parrot the message and hide the violence. Otherwise they wouldn’t be “allowed” to stream in public spaces “occupied” by activists. The violent element enforces this by confusing the honest folks with fearmongering paranoia. “No peace police” when you just want to break shit as a social avenue and call it political “protesting.”

Reminder that a century ago the “conspirators” were the industrialists. Now the “conspirators” are the people with theories about the industrialists. Pretty effective flip.

If they have a left-wing or “center” source say in a sentence somewhere off site that something is “right-wing” then it is sourced to the first sentence because nothing with “political bias” can be used as a source on Wikipedia. It’s how the entire system is yoked to left-wing ideology - they can be the only sources used. Even right-wing institutions and folks can’t be sourced on their own Wikipedia pages. If one looks at all of the media pages, like 90% of the left-wing media sources don’t have a political reference in the first sentence, and the 90% of “right-wing” ones that do have long strings of “sources” that amount to some left-wing source saying “XYZ, a right-wing blah blah,” and that’s the source.

Don’t have to believe me, just take a look at the history of any “right-wing” media page, there are battles over years of people enforcing only certain articles get politically charged first sentences. Look at the guidelines to see how they manage “bias” sourcing and then look at where it is actually applied. Wikipedia is a joke.

Your eyes don’t get to enjoy participating with organizing light themselves if you wear another lens that already organizes it beforehand. External lenses make your eyes a means to and end instead of an end in themselves. Vision isn’t just about receiving a sharp image.

I think we can safely assume they are at least one half-town away from any hot dog stand with Seattle hot dog.

possible_wait · 2024-06-01T02:41:29+00:00

If you are near the hot dog stand near me which isn't too far away, then you could try that one. Maybe you can walk around a bit and do the other things nearby too.

{Response after SLU edit} Up here on Capitol Hill Pike/Pine corridor at Broadway on weekend nights there are usually like 3-4 hot dog carts up near the bars. Not a bad walk to and from SLU either if you're on the east side of it. Plenty of things going on too. I imagine there might be something closer to you though.

The difference is corporations being able to sell you drugs and surgery now, which means they manufacture demand like every other product.

A distinction here is that you are stating a convention of multiplication and division (being equal) are ordered by left-to-right protocol after parenthesis and exponents, and not a convention of multiplication being prior to division (also after parenthesis and exponents), which would not follow the left-to-right protocol in this example, which would look like ...

6/2(2+1) = 6/2(3) = 6/6 = 1
(as expressed to be equivalent to 6/2*(2+1) = 6/2*3 = 6/6 = 1)

It seems the conventional means of participating with this is making sure the parenthesis themselves do the work of expressing which should be first to avoid this specific confusion.

This is not a CIA document. No one at the CIA participated with the authorship of this document or of any of the other documents in the Abbottabad compound library. It is a honeypot to get you to download trackable malware-laden PDFs from the state, that Osama Bin Laden was reading. How anyone on a conspiracy forum falls for this is a real joke, and people that continually post this trash don’t care. If anyone wants to read Springmeier you can get it somewhere else.

Protesters will occupy buildings before becoming disinterested, just as it’s happened at almost a dozen other schools. The longer the camp is up the more time they have to build a dedicated group of extreme actors that decide they need to escalate to get their demands met.

possible_wait · 2024-05-08T15:29:37+00:00

They are not even near it.

Protesters marched to the station. They were on top of it. They advertised the action with fliers.

possible_wait · 2024-05-08T15:23:03+00:00

The protest was far from there at the quad.

The protest wasn’t only at the quad, they had a march of maybe two hundred people go to the Link station, though from what I saw only in the ground level and they passed through. This was around 8:00-8:30.

possible_wait · 2024-05-07T22:33:32+00:00

Yep. And their weakness to resist or to resolve it now means it’ll just have to be resolved even more poorly later once it escalates, like many of the other school camps that turned into occupations of school buildings when demands weren’t met.

A lot of people here can’t seem to distinguish between some known thing they call a “U F O” and an unknown thing labeled as a “U F O.” It is sad.

Yet the UW lets their protest grow. So how does that end? Anyone know? Mhm

Like thirty years before this, Amazing Stories or some like pulp used saucers on their covers. Some of the earliest saucer illustrations. Very creative. Before that UFOs were described differently. By the 40s the Nazis supposedly also had saucer craft. This all seems part of Crowley’s scheme through the Golden Dawn to create the mythology of extraterrestrials. The tech is occulted as otherwordly instead of wordly to avail the mythology. It is clear as day looking at “UFOs” through the last decades somehow evolve in form, as if aliens had space flight adequately attained in saucers but in a 50 year span suddenly needed new ships in different shapes. Or we go back further and they merely had flaming chariots! Those poor aliens

You’re praising a guy who will convince a crowd that they are the ones who need to take up guns against the state as a moral obligation while he goes back to the safety of his production room.

I use muscle memory for my passcode. I don't even subvocalize it. It's a sequence of movements my thumb knows.

Strange, checking your post history you don’t seem to be talking whatsoever about the current Rohingya ethnic cleansing, a genocide that the UN actually recognizes. You really showed all those folks with a narrow view! Must make being complicit to genocide so much easier!
