staticman posted:Since I can't find the PNW thread in GBS, here's the rundown of poo poo: You live here, you know how expensive poo poo gets near Seattle. Tacoma ain't bad and it's not too far from the excitement, you could look in Fed Way/Auburn/Kent if you want to be closer but anything more and property goes through the roof.

CaptainSarcastic posted:I was just pointing out that warm-water discharge does have an effect. Have you seen the Gasland movies? We're pretty insulated from the effects of fracking up here, thank god, but seeing the aftermath shown in those films will change your stance on nuclear I imagine. poo poo, I reconsidered my feelings on oil compared to shale gas. Oil!

Like it's all you need to know about a person, 100% safe to totally judge them entirely on that alone. Yeah, it is. Measure a man by how he treats his inferiors. You can measure a woman the same way, that's just the saying as I know it.

mod sassinator posted:Some people are allergic to dogs, or some folks (like muslims) have religious issues with them. It's kind of a jerk thing to take one in a supermarket IMHO. Absolutely. Anywhere that serves food. When I worked at Best Buy we didn't give a poo poo about animals, but don't bring them into grocery stores or restaurants. The staff has no proof your dog doesn't have fleas, a mean temperament, or a host of issues. People here (NW WA) are generally not going to confront you, so it's your responsibility to not be an rear end in a top hat.

Jack2142 posted:I am back in Washington for college winter break from the far off lands of Portland, (I am from Federal Way) was wondering if I could get a recap of some of the poo poo thats been going on in our state.. I feel bad because I got distracted during the elections/voting and forgot to mail my ballot. I know alot of crap has been going on ,but I've been pretty aloof. 594 passed, adding a little gun legislation. Idiots reacted by swapping guns temporarily on the Capitol lawn. Law enforcement said "that's legal still and we won't do anything." It was cold. Boeing is shipping away more jobs. What crap are you interested in knowing about?

The funniest part of this constitutional convention derail is the far more interesting chat going on around it... about grocers. Anyone flabbergasted that the deal went this way? In my eyes Albertsons was always on the way out while Safeway seemed to be excelling.

glowing-fish posted:Well, we've been over thrift stores and guns and dogs and GMOs, and now it is my sad duty to bring gamergate into this thread. If you support Gamergate, you literally have poo poo for brains. I've obsessively mastered Mega Man games NES and up and beaten more Final Fantasy games than you have fingers to count. Women are objects at best in most games, rarely more than sexual window dressing. This has been a problem for decades, and being addressed is cause for celebration, not outrage. I'm not saying this to anyone in particular here, almost everyone knows better.

It's called the 8-bit Arcade I believe. (DDR machines are getting difficult to find these days, I think we're limited to Dorky's and bowling alleys. Haven't been to Gameworks in awhile, do they still have one?)

I've seen motorcycles drive between lanes since I was a child, and I'm sure it was happening before then. I don't think it's necessarily a Californian thing, just an advantage people take when available. Used to bother me until I realized it was more "why not me???" than "whatta idiot".

Qdoba's chicken is awesome but their other meats are so-so, but they do have the added benefit of free guac, too bad there isn't one close to me Had some friends over to sing while I played Rock Band drums. Mucho Burrito is fantastic, especially if you're a spice fiend and get their ghost pepper salsa.
