   I agree with your sentiment but one side is trying to dictate what is acceptable- the other is not.

   I have been a staunch progressive for my entire adulthood and now find myself strongly agreeing with the other side of the aisle. Strange times.

   Yep. It's totally terrible. Possibly even the worst. Don't move there- and if you are there, please leave!

   Travel could easily be subsidized for those with a special need such as yourself. The GP is still correct.

   Any state government it department is going to be a royal mess. I worked for the Washington state government for 6 months a few years ago and it was the worst job I’d ever had. I was at the top of my pay grade just under architect and only

   My point isn’t that you or the parent that I’m replying to are incorrect at all. You seem to be missing my point entirely. Feeling schadenfreude when a business fails is tantamount to being happy that someone loses their job. That’s fucked

   Maybe I don't know the numbers. Maybe I only work for a startup because it allowed me some flexibility I wouldn't have had otherwise. Maybe I didn't know that a global pandemic was going to shut down the economy. Maybe I&#x27

   Schadenfreude is an absolute awful response to this. A lot of us are just trying to put food on the table and pay off student loans.

    If this current situation has taught me anything it is that the internet is a mush of armchair garbage and it’s overwhelming to decipher- yes even what I’m typing now. The whole thing has me desperate to ignore everyone and read a book. Wha

    Apple already has an office in downtown Seattle. I know because I've talked to a recruiter about a job there twice.

    I have had a garden for 4 out of the past six years and tomatoes have always been the easiest plant for me to grow an abundance of. That was in Michigan, Missouri, and Seattle too so it was pretty easy across the entire continent. The conci

    Its as if running an economy on margins this thin is unsustainable. Maybe we should pay the government a little more to put some extra money aside so we can avoid this in the future.

    I used to live in Olympia before living in Seattle and wash pretty shocked to see a coyote casualty walking down the street one morning when I was drinking coffee. Turns out it is pretty normal.

    There simply would’ve been no place to put bulk toilet paper in my 600/700 sq foot one bedroom in Seattle. Lots of people live in even smaller spaces.

    The issue is that the battery never gets a chance to discharge if you’re using it as a server. Unless you’re unplugging it and monitoring the battery life and plugging it back in every day.

    A beautiful quote. I think it’s a little goofy that you’re being downvoted just for saying something vaguely positive. Please, people- keep your wits about you.

    But how can we form an opinion while shouting at each other? We know what the answer is; and it’s called sharing. Unfortunately nobody seems to want to entertain this idea.

    1k/mo would make a huge difference for me even, but it sounded like a one time payment in the article.
