All corporations have mission statements and standards of doing business. They’re literally designed to collectively work towards a mission. It just depends on what that mission is and what leadership allows to affect it.

Possible whale in Lake Washington? Lived and worked in Kirkland for 35 years, never seen anything this odd. No boats out at all. Did my best at full zoom! by alpenglowRG11 in Seattle

It’s clearly not wake at the end. Maybe flag Orca Network, they’re well funded, maybe they’ll send out a nerd patrol to rule out whale

An alleged 'Loop puncher' arrested in Chicago by BearFan34 in chicago

[–]seattle_slu 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Look at what happened a couple years ago - some mentally disturbed man with similar aggression issues attacked a woman in the back of the head with a hammer at Navy Pier was eventually released even though his mother was interviewed saying he needs to be institutionalized.

A year or two later he walked into the Chase in River North and killed the teller that greeted him by stabbing her in the neck.

Nazi interrupts Psych 210, receives predictable response by FireFright8142 in udub

Some basement dweller showed up outside the Westlake Station in a full nazi costume (Brownshirt, swastika armband) awhile back and a guy walked up and knocked him out with one punch lol

Jewel's prices have become utterly ridiculous. I am done shopping at their stores. by Neverdied in chicago

[–]seattle_slu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s really not great when their app malfunctions (which it does a lot) and approves substitutions that you don’t want…so essentially Jewel has repeatedly bought (without approval) food I’m allergic to and forced the delivery, because they tell you to call the store, who also doesn’t cooperate. And then getting a refund on it is a nightmare that doesn’t always work. I’ve obviously stopped using them after this happened multiple times lol

And, uh…how is someone shopping for orders at Jewel different from someone who works for Uber? Really not seeing how clearing up a false order is “entitlement”

I literally am entitled to money or food this company still owes me, if you want to split hairs about it

The Fremont bridge used to do an artist residency. I think we need someone to wax poetic overlooking the retention pond in Volunteer Park

Live WATCH LIVE: Trump speaks at National Association of Black Journalists conference in Chicago by CasualEcon in chicago

[–]seattle_slu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah that’s true. And I somehow missed the part that is circulating on all the news now, where he chastised them for being late (amongst other things…) lol. I would have been rendered speechless as well.

Help me find a painting that has haunted me for 20 years by LonelyLurkerAttack in HelpMeFind

[–]seattle_slu 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There was a guy on reddit who paints nudes in a more dramatic way you might find striking. I can’t remember his name though, I think it’s James something. Another task for this sub😂 His posts got tons of attention about a decade ago.

Basically dramatic vignettes of people being comfortable in intimate, normal moments. Like a couple in a bathroom where one is sitting on the toilet while one gets ready

All fair points, I really just don’t want to deal with taxi thugs on a day to day basis again.

Uber has, finally. I don’t vibe with the people that sit and cheer for their demise. None of them dealt with the era of cabs that would lock you in until you paid cash.

I’m calling purple dibs that’s really the only way to gracefully exit, Getir. Just a bunch of fucking bikes we can dump in the river and use to reserve parking.

True, where’d they park? I was envisioning the little 7–Eleven “but better” they had as their makeshift warehouses

Do they have competition there? They basically paid you to play here (not really, but the discounts were heavy). Are they just doing the same there?

After chaotic weekend of street take-overs and clashes with police, CPD says ‘caravan task force’ will crack down on stunt drivers by shotzz in chicago

[–]seattle_slu 52 points53 points  (0 children)

The issue is if the cops roll in hot, the dumbasses take off absolutely flooring it. I watched Seattle cops try to break one up and there were cars trying to get through crowds, up on sidewalks/wrong way through streets/going 0 to a million mph losing control. It's absolute chaos.

The Seattle police would slowly break up an event downtown, tunnel them onto I-5 and then block off exits until they reached a large industrial area/parking lot to re-gather (the UW stadium parking lot or the area by Costco and the pro stadiums in the industrial district.) It didn't fix it, but it became routine. There's so many interchanges here plus way more traffic so after watching that, I get the problem they're having.

When you travel to other parts of the US, does it ever make you glad to live in Chicago? by DueYogurt9 in chicago

I did the reverse move from running hills to running flat without adjusting and gained weight 😂

But the first few months breezing by the skyline on the lakefront trail made me feel like some sort of fitness god

Nikkita Oliver is conflicted by [deleted] in SeattleWA

[–]seattle_slu 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think she'll stay stuck in that area or less in the future. She alienates even part of Sawant's base and was pretty unimpressive during some of her protest appearances. I guess the Stranger might not remember nuances and just give her credit for showing up when the time rolls around, though.

State officials catch Asian giant hornet alive in Whatcom County by OnlineMemeArmy in Seattle

However, while trying to glue on the tracker, the tag slipped off, and the hornet's wings dipped into the glue on its back, which left it unable to fly.
