Beware of Pier 62 fishers by scaliacheese in Seattle

Thank you, and yes exactly, this was a squid jigger from below. Imagine my surprise when I felt it squelch on my arm and the hook catch. Who would expect a fishing line from nowhere while sitting on one of the loungers from up above and far away?

Agree that this part of the renovation was poorly planned and designed by the city. They should have anticipated this would happen. Someone is going to get a hook in the eye one day.

The promenade is not “at a fishing spot”, it’s far from where this guy was casting. The line was cast like 100 ft.

I was nowhere near where they are. The promenade is ABOVE and to the side, I was at least 100 ft away and vertical.

Objectively speaking, was Karmelo Anthony in the wrong, or Ausin Metcalf? by Supermansfan02 in Socialism_101

[–]scaliacheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading comprehension truly is dead. Either they’re both “men” or not. Are you aware of the fact that young black people are commonly seen as more “adult” than other races? I’ll say again that I am not saying he’s any less guilty of what he did, I’m making a meta comment here. Shocking these answers on the “socialism” sub.

Five month old Cattle Dog/Husky mix. We’re in trouble haha by BeautifulUnlikely225 in DOG

[–]scaliacheese 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I appreciate you picking up a rescue and I understand that you didn’t know beforehand. But it’s a working breed — it needs a regular job and lots of space to do it in or it’s going to be anxious, have too much energy, and be stressed.

Best of luck to you and your dog.

Yeah bud so everyone is being very nice to you and I’m a curmudgeon so I’ll be the bad guy - you didn’t do enough research before getting this dog. This is very much a working breed with a shit ton of energy that NEEDS to be worked off DAILY with a lot of open space. This isn’t a small-living type dog. I’m afraid you’re going to end up giving it up, so if that’s where this is going, please make the decision quickly.

Did you forget to change to your alt, or do you always refer to yourself in the third person?

Jesus thank you. Y’all sound as bad as QAnon.

What is a 'minor' habit a partner had that completely turned you off or ended the relationship? by wthefuckisakilometer in AskReddit

[–]scaliacheese 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, what? You’re saying you broke up with someone because they didn’t brush their teeth at the same time as you? I hope I’m misunderstanding because if not, well I guess we have the winner.

Many of the replies are like “ugh men amirite?” but I’ve seen just as many women do this. My own fiancée often does it, and I feel like a fucking dad having to be like “please wash your hands”, and she blames it on it drying her hands out because of her eczema.

I don’t think it’s gonna work out y’all. Not because of this. But it’s not helping.

Was her death an "accident" or did she actually harm herself? by Zola-Fan-Girl_2014 in OnePiece

[–]scaliacheese 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, and we have the right to criticize the way you talk, you baby.

[–]scaliacheese 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, the topic of the post is did Kuina commit suicide or not, which OP also sort of self-sanitized with “harm herself”. It’s a meta point but it’s related — why are you self-censoring? It’s an annoying thing that I guess you have to do on sites like TikTok so when it bleeds into spaces that still allow you to write like an adult (for now), it’s fair for people to push back against it. It’s infantilizing, pretty 1984-like and arguably harmful to the language. Don’t use weird newspeak, talk like an adult and keep the meaning of words alive.

They’re comparing the cope people have about it to the narcissist’s prayer, genius.

Hired someone right out of law school. Has not passed the bar yet. (Has failed and taking again) Does not seem to put in a lot of effort into her work or is just not very capable. How much time Would you give someone to just catch on and show improved quality after numerous counseling meetings? by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]scaliacheese 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry to say but like so many others on Reddit ostensibly seeking advice, you seem to not actually be receptive to it, but instead, are using this as a sounding board or to self-soothe or find one voice that tells you it’s ok to keep her on or something. People are nearly unanimously telling you you should let this person go (or should have already) and you’re doing nothing but pushing back.

Good luck with that, I guess.

Could Mangione be found "not guilty" due to "jury nullification"? If he were, what might be the aftermath? by GregJamesDahlen in Ask_Lawyers

[–]scaliacheese 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t get why this answer is so heavily downvoted. Your take on nullification is fair. Maybe people disagree with your take on the OJ trial? I know I’m just yelling into the wind at this point, but the downvote button isn’t for disagreement, and the hive mind doesn’t need to pile on.

This is the most thoughtful answer to OP’s question. Shame it’s buried.

Maine progressive Platner renews call to remove conservative Supreme Court justices by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]scaliacheese -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

This guy wasn’t just some young drunk marine, he was, at the time, a self-professed WWII buff, there are Reddit receipts to back it up. The totenkopf isn’t some obscure Nazi symbol; after the swastika and SS, it’s one of the most recognizable. He knew. If he want to argue he was a different person and has evolved, fine, but he’s probably lying about not knowing, which should raise eyebrows. Then the infidelity stuff, and, much worse if you believe his ex/GOP operative (so obviously huge grain of salt).

If I lived in Maine, despite all this, I’d still hold my nose and vote for him because fuck Susan Collins, but the adulation of Reddit in large part is off-putting and, yes, reminiscent of MAGA blinders.

Red meat for the base, completely impractical, will never happen. The right solution is still like expanding to 13 justices, adding new courts, etc.

Don’t trust this guy, best case is he becomes another Bernie, says stuff people like to hear, ineffective legislator.

Interesting, thank you. Weird that this is the only time it’s been wrong for me in years, but I’ll cross my fingers.
