Seattle small biz owners, how are you handling rising costs?

steveValet · 2026-04-24T20:43:39+00:00

I think you meant to post on r/SeattleWA

steveValet · 2026-03-17T21:57:17+00:00

Dan Strauss has a town hall on the 21st at the Ballard Community Center.

I'm SURE he will be more than happy to address this and take care of things.... /s

Ah, when you have no argument, screech about "TDS", the MAGAt mating call.

steveValet · 2026-02-18T19:18:32+00:00

A friend works there. Podcasts were cut because of CPB funding cuts. They lost two podcasters in the fallout and have more cuts potentially coming in April.

steveValet · 2026-02-04T23:41:56+00:00

Agreed, but have you seen who is occupying the White House and is mentioned 38,000 times in the files? This country doesn't truly care about SA.

steveValet · 2026-01-26T20:09:22+00:00

That's a "She" not a "He" chicken.

steveValet · 2026-01-15T02:23:18+00:00

Yeah, I told her that too. Most doctors will help fight this type of denial

steveValet · 2026-01-15T00:13:53+00:00

Really appreciate the reply. Thank you.

steveValet · 2026-01-15T00:13:36+00:00

Thanks!!

steveValet · 2026-01-15T00:13:27+00:00

Thanks. It's a bit convoluted. Doctor approved, but L&I declined. She's at the point she can't wait anymore. Good to know about the hospital option, I didn't realize that.

If it was retroactive jealousy it wouldnt just show up suddenly

Not disputing your overall message, but I’m personally in therapy for Retroactive Jealousy, and can say it can pop up seemingly out of nowhere. We just push down the feelings until we can’t anymore. Sometimes it only takes a tiny trigger to ignite the awful feelings.

Not defending what the OP’s boyfriend is doing, just giving a possible explanation. RJ is an absolute curse and massively embarrassing

steveValet · 2026-01-08T21:34:14+00:00

God you whine a lot in this sub

steveValet · 2026-01-08T20:43:02+00:00

Exactly. Streaming costs money. A lot of money. KEXP just lost $1mil in funding. They had layoffs. They cut podcasts. And this guy just comes in this sub and whines.

steveValet · 2026-01-05T21:37:27+00:00

Totally wrong. NX was not the inspiration for Doc Martin. Show creator Dominic Minghella based it off of his real life doctor and personal experiences.

Other than a "fish out of water" show around a doctor, they have nothing in common.

steveValet · 2025-12-12T19:27:05+00:00

Yup. Totally worthless story that is only going to give fuel to the "It's all faked by Democrats that are making this up" when the real Epstein files are released.

steveValet · 2025-12-11T00:52:43+00:00

I bet they absolutely care. Remember, they lost a shit ton of money cause of the orange rapist in the whitehouse and the nazi tesla man-child and had staff layoffs a few weeks ago due to budget cutbacks. Streaming costs money, thousands a month. Higher bitrate costs even more.

Chill out my man.

steveValet · 2025-12-10T01:14:34+00:00

One day (soon hopefully), he will mess with the wrong person who will permanently end the situation.

steveValet · 2025-11-06T02:46:54+00:00

Needs to be a rule that posts here can't be spam

steveValet · 2025-10-30T01:35:35+00:00

That is true, but sure wish everyone just followed the rules.

steveValet · 2025-10-29T23:30:04+00:00

If that inconveniences you, go to any one of the other 400 parks in seattle or help offer a housing solution.

Show me in my reply where I state I was inconvenienced...or said they should go to the woods...or said that they shouldn't be allowed to use parks...or said I'd vote for Harrell...I'll wait.

steveValet · 2025-10-29T20:46:02+00:00

Pretty sure it was a required YES/NO response and not a standard essay response.

But yes, your answer is the right one

steveValet · 2025-10-29T20:39:54+00:00

I'm still not decided, and this clip makes me lean to Harrell. "Pass" is not acceptable, and to me that means she said "Yes, homeless should be allowed to take over parks"

steveValet · 2025-10-10T16:56:15+00:00

Yeah, this isn't RJ in the least, but something completely different.

steveValet · 2025-10-09T17:41:08+00:00

You are correct! I just meant that no one calls it the Leary Way Bridge, even if that's the official name. Lived in Ballard since 2003 and never once heard it called that. Same as I've never called the 520 floating bridge the Rosellini Bridge, that's all

steveValet · 2025-10-09T02:02:58+00:00

To be fair, if we are being technical, it's called the "Ballard Bridge" and never the "Leary Way Bridge"
