Lol at 99 and Dexter is on the edge of SLU and heading into downtown for a lotta commuters. I've lived a few places and Seattle is my favorite because it made me uncomfortable enough to ask myself questions I wasn't sure I'd like the answers to. It's made me a better person. Love this city.

The incident has raised questions about the motive behind the message, especially in light of the shooting death of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City last week.

monke-beepboop Truly a mystery for the ages.

No one knows what this could mean

I must admit that my opinion of the average American has improved after seeing their reaction to The Adjuster. Despite being subjected to the most pervasive propaganda in human history for generations they instinctively understand class consciousness and get that the CEO is their enemy.

As Big Bill Haywood once said:

"I've never read Marx's Capital, but I have the marks of capital all over me."

Password for these road signs is DOTS, go have fun everyone

i keep making this post, no it's probably not, that's a tip for one brand of sign that was posted on a forum in like 2009 and went viral. newer sign systems have more complicated security protections, and some have anti-tampering measures that can send alerts to a phone app. it's possible to hack these things, but you need to take time to do specific research on your target system.

There are some real civility fetishists in the comments on r/seattle, holy fuck.

Every local subreddit is basically /r/kristallnacht

That is possibly one if the worse local subs on reddit-logo, if not one of the worse subs period. It probably should be renamed to something like r/GasTheHomeless

Tough race between r/Seattle and r/Portland
