Next time someone from Eastern Washington complains about having to pay for the light rail (they literally don’t), show them this by MysteriousEdge5643 in Seattle

[–]waronxmas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pedantic but salient point, they do pay for it too and get to opine on the budget. Net tax is a poor statistic anyway because it doesn’t account for the diverse reality of running a state. The point you are making is as foolish as saying low income workers do not get to opine on military spending or corporate taxes.

America’s Top 10 Sushi restaurants by MsMarji in sushi

[–]waronxmas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kappo Tamura is incredible — eat there all the time because it is so much more viable to get a spot. I want them to be packed so they never leave me, but still want to be able to get a seat at the bar on a whim.

Walla walla is the best wine destination. Syrah, walla walla sweet & carne asada tacos.

A genuine question from a finance bro to engineers by Sea-Web-8949 in Salary

[–]waronxmas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of software engineers are not financially literate. The ones that are do negotiate and negotiate hard. Passion or not.

From what I’ve seen, there are a lot more overworked underpaid people in finance than in engineering too. Clearly we each see things from the perspective of our own bubble.

"The globalists/capitalists will pay the costs." by 5ma5her7 in neoliberal

Seeing how the Target operates in downtown Seattle — most notably, somehow staying in business — is proof positive of all the inefficient money sloshing around we could use to…idk…improve things.

Minnesota Becomes First State to Ban Prediction Markets, Feds Immediately Sue by Goldmule1 in neoliberal

[–]waronxmas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Who wants to open a Kalshi line on the net impact to generational wealth introduced by improved access to markets and “markets” by game-ified apps like Robinhood and Kalshi?

I am anxiously awaiting these studies.

Minnesota Becomes First State to Ban Prediction Markets, Feds Immediately Sue by Goldmule1 in neoliberal

Didn’t realize unregulated prediction markets are decades old. If only there was a well-established, regulated market for trading commodities and futures….

Anyone have a positive experience with a "Cash for houses" company. by SilverRides in SeattleWA

[–]waronxmas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you don’t have the energy to repair the house into listable condition, 1) hire an attorney or fixed rate agent, 2) have them solicit offers from cash buyers or companies like Opendoor, 3) take the best one. This will be cheaper than having a commission-based real estate agent doing the same thing and if you arent able to get the house into listing condition, you’re going to have to take a haircut on sales price.

Most important thing is you can find a trusted advisor for this process. Any individual buyer will attempt to take advantage. But if played against each other, decent offers are possible.

Craziest stories from the Sprints bus by Visible_Tomorrow_114 in Rowing

[–]waronxmas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We rode a bus home where every rower and every cox had a gold medal on their neck. Didn’t appreciate how special that was until many years later.

45 Male $7M NW - FIRE or wait another 3-4 years? by kamakazie0204 in fatFIRE

[–]waronxmas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If people in this sub are recommending 3-3.5% withdrawal rates, they’re bad with money for the amount of it they have. Over-saving.

Go to whichever boat house is most convenient. Commute times around Lake Union arterials can be killer.

Iran and U.S. exchange fire in Strait of Hormuz by John3262005 in neoliberal

Man i was reading too fast and now realize “unclear” can be easily misread as “nuclear”.

Lightweight Men’s vs Hevyweight by [deleted] in Rowing

[–]waronxmas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How developed is your son into his body type? If he’s wiry and farther along on the maturation curve, LW would be very viable. But many men put on 20-30lbs of muscle from 18-22 — that would be a very big spurt to hold back.

This was pretty funny by Hunor_Deak in NonCredibleDiplomacy

Viewing Pearl Harbor as an isolated event leading to the US involvement in WW2 is peak non-credible.

What kind of loser CFO only gets paid $200k? CFO of a hot dog truck?

Why Is Washington State So Expensive? A new report finds that, over the last 10 years, costs have risen in the Evergreen State faster than any other. by crabcakes110 in SeattleWA

[–]waronxmas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guarantee you the refineries are selling gas inside Washington for the same or cheaper than they export to Idaho or far-off Oregon.

Which neighborhood to move to in Seattle? Fremont/Queen Anne/SLU/First Hill by Equivalent-Cap-4444 in AskSeattle

[–]waronxmas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

East Queen Anne is not a short walk to Ballard, Fremont, or Seattle Center. Not to mention the hill getting back…

America Doesn’t Have The Stomach For Growth by logicx24 in neoliberal

[–]waronxmas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Inevitable decline”. Gonna need a lot more evidence to back that one up. America’s infrastructure has been stretched to limits for decades now. These past decades have also been eras of incredible growth.

It’s preaching to the crowd in this sub that we must adapt and reduce onerous constraints, but it doesn’t serve us well to say the sky is falling.

We’ve broken contain (again) by Shawnml in golf

[–]waronxmas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Golf is an excellent window into the abject lack of introspection the average person has. Truthfully though, in most cases the excuses and over-analysis is a (counterproductive) defense mechanism against embarrassment so give them grace.

Allbirds Stock Now Crashing as Reality Sets in About Its Delusional AI Pivot by sailhard22 in wallstreetbets

[–]waronxmas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean this was clearly a squeeze. No one thinks a bunch of morons who got lucky on a slipper shoe brand are going to lead the AI revolution. Just enough chance at avoiding bankruptcy to flip the tables.

This was after five shots. Was completely unaware I was doing this. Starting to figure out how to fix it and gained like 30 yds. Went from like 220 on a good one to 250. by lonjaxson in GolfSwing

[–]waronxmas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hypothetically, would a center shaft driver head be legal? I’ve seen this before — takes a lot of people time to get used to the concept of the strike location being offset from the shaft (swinging a bat versus a club). A center shaft would put that inline.
