Also they don’t play the christmas music, its just as soon as it starts getting colder they go from grill mode into christmas mode. Where instead of grill stuff you can buy christmas stuff and fondue. Also we don’t really have Thanksgiving and a lot of people aren’t into fall stuff like pumpkins, so for seasonal stuff they go straight to Christmas.
Same with Lowe’s. You can’t even get Halloween shit now, even though it’s several weeks away. I went into Kohl’s on Tuesday and it was all Christmas music playing.
Ok I’ll catch two buses and a train. Or three buses. I’ll only have to wake up at 5am everyday and go to bed at 9pm after returning home at 8:30. Totally viable.
Can’t sing along at the top of my lungs though, which is the only place I can because the walls of my apartment are too thin.
Driving to and from places is way more relaxing than being on transit imo. Transit has always been significantly more stressful for me and never lines up with when I need to use it.
For me it’s the other way around. Public transit is more relaxing since I can just sit down and relax and don’t have to deal with all these idiots that drive like they have to arrive at their destination half an hour ago.
Places were not meant to be filmed, or cycled to, or taken a blimp or train to. Places just are places. There is no meaning. Who is upvoting these low quality memes?
It’s pretty clean. I moved here a few years ago and have never gotten the feeling that it’s dirty. Around the homeless camps though it can be a little rough though.
Been here 15 years now… By comparison to 2008, Seattle is a wreck. The turning point was around 2015 when Amazon decided to make it their permanent HQ. Pre vs post 2015 rent prices are insane. I had a top-floor waterfront place on Lake Washington for $850 until 2015.
I wouldn’t necessarily put that on Amazon coming in. That’s been the trend in all cities over the past 10 years. Even suburban areas are feeling it. Hopefully remote work pushes up populations in smaller towns so other non-remote growth can occur in more affordable areas.
Our population increased by tens of thousands in the first year as a result of the announcement by Amazon that Seattle would be the permanent HQ. Following that, tons of cheaply made, overpriced housing was put up all over the city. Businesses were priced out and knocked down to make way for the shitty people-boxes.
Seattle is a geographically constrained area that was already at capacity. Blue collar workers and service industry folk were priced out and pushed into surrounding areas. Traffic and congestion increased. Homelessness skyrocketed.
I would agree that the issue is widespread, but in this case, correlation and causation line up.
It’s rough everywhere, I know. Shit like this article discusses doesn’t help. Austin, TX was also reeling from the use of software like this. I’m sure other places are as well.
Ah man, if I see one more west coast white lady in a YT short explaining their 5min superfood meal prep when we all know there is 0% chance she swallows a single bite of food with that much exotic pepper and ginger…
I’m gonna fry rice and quinoa in Pineapple pulp out of SPITE.
To be fair going to the moon wasnt about going the moon. It was about proving you could deliver mutual destruction wherever you wanted through general rocket superioririty
