Chicken Coup

I worked for a low income apartment complex that started doing AirBnB. It’s already a 2-3 year waiting list to get a rent controlled low income apartment but they were taking units off the market because they could make more money renting them by the night.

Hoping to hear an answer to this.

As someone who saved literal cases of gaming mags from the 90s-00s I’m ready to part with them hoping someone else will go through the effort to scan them and make them available. I just don’t have the time or resources for that project and I’ve got a storage unit FULL of gaming gear that I need to empty. It’s hard enough to go through the games and hardware, I just want to get rid of the boxes and boxes ofabysls and magazines but I don’t want to trash them.

General Discharge is the name of my cover band. It’s mostly big brass covers of Sex Pistols songs.

Well dust is cheaper than pocket sand so…

So anyone have the original? For research purposes…

I did maintenance for a low income building. They would have me upgrade specific units so they could Airbnb them while they denied low income applications to keep those units empty. Disabled people who needed housing were denied because it was more profitable to leave it empty and rent it out to tourists a few times a month.

We also didn’t do maintenance on specific units in order to get tenants to move out. There was a specific unit that was given to new tenants that would routinely flood. They used it to get rid of people that complained too much. If you only complained a little and cooperated with their bs, you could eventually move to a unit that stayed dry all year.

Stihl typically does their own displays. You can’t mix other brands into their products. They have strict rules on pricing and promotion. If you don’t follow their rules, you can’t sell their products. If you go to any store that sells Stihl, you will find it set up in a similar fashion.

Only entrapment if you have money. If you’re poor this is just referred to as ‘life’.

That’s easy! We only give ‘real americans’ food. There will be plenty. /s

When you’ve lost your ‘faith’ it doesn’t actually change who you are, remember that.

Also, it’s ok to admit that as humans, we don’t have all the answers. It doesn’t mean you need to believe a god of one kind or another is in charge. It just means we don’t see the full picture.

This reads like someone read 50 shades of grey and then wrote down every “sexy” song they could think of (and it wasn’t very many).

If you want actual playlists ask a DJ. Not being a dick but really, just ask one. They LOVE to share when someone shows interest. Don’t know a DJ? Look for fetish events online and find out who is DJing and just ask them.

I have a half dozen CDs I’ve collected from over the years. They are AMAZING and I have a lot of great memories tied to some of those songs.

A lot of the DJs record their sets for big events, that’s how I got mine. Down side is sometimes you can’t skip to a track because it’s one file (depends on the setup). Also no track info, just handwritten sharpie. But on the plus side you get a larger selection of music and great flow throughout.

Very similar position here.

I’ve always felt that it wasn’t anyone’s business but my own and the person I want to touch. I don’t worry about putting myself in a box so I don’t wear a label.

Those that “need” to know are told that I am “independent”. What does that mean to me? It means I decide who I want to fool around with. Sex is more than just tabs and slots.

Although I have found that this answer is unacceptable to nearly everyone, so I can’t say I recommend it.

Almost 3 years after quiting a heavy 26 years habit. I quit cold turkey.

Currently being forced to move having no income and no social circle and family is distant.

Super proud I haven’t broken yet. I want one ALL THE DAMN TIME.

I use physical exercise to help me get through my cravings.

Years ago I adopted the identifier ‘Cascadian’ as I fit most of the stereotypes.

(Referring to those of us that live in/around the Cascade mountain range.)

I know it’s not ‘a hobby’ but being native to the PNW, it really is a lifestyle. We’re out playing in the wilderness, hunting, fishing, enjoying the rain. We smell a little like moss & dirt with a hint of patchouli. We grown our own food and prefer our animals over people most of the time. I’m about to move across the country and I have no idea what my life will be like. I spend 90% of my free time outside in wilderness where most of my ‘hobbies’ take place.

As someone who also has to argue about how wrong everyone else is…

I always tell them to imagine the iconic ‘slipping on a banana peel’ joke. Sometimes I make them draw it.

If you peel from the stem, it would never look like that. We have so many references that I challenge anyone to show me any media from any time period that shows the banana opened from the stem.

People learn the stem way as children because it’s easier with limited motor skills and just never give it up.

It’s SPD and WLCB, both like a good shakedown.

I ran a club for years and dealt with their bullshit often. Luckily I knew my local SPD so our checks were super easy. LCB didn’t like us though so when they decided to come by they would have a list of tickets to write up and if you didn’t know your RCWs front to back you’d have no choice but to accept the fines. (Much like police don’t know the laws they enforce, LCB agents don’t either.)

The shut down ones were usually Ladybug. They had different owner and different kind of staff. At cowgirl they had college coed and you paid a dollar or two more for your coffee and tipped well because they were super nice. The other place had skanky strippers on drugs, $20 coffee and you sometimes wondered if the coffee came with an STD.

Haven’t been to Seattle in years, I hear many didn’t survive.

Drive up coffee shops with barely clad baristas.

Unfortunately the guy who owns Ladybug (same concept) has purchased most of the bikini coffee shops. It’s now WAY over priced and the quality of service is WAY lower. You’re more likely to get skanky stripper flashing than college coed flirt. Also apparently that guy is an asshole on many levels according to the girls. Many of them are closed now.

Source: I managed a club and have known many of the bikini baristas around Seattle.

And this is Seattle. If you want to ogle a bikini girl your choices are these shops or Alki during our annual one-week heat wave when you don’t need to wear multiple layers.
