I grew up hearing “learn a trade” so so much and now I seem to make more money frying fish for a living than a lot of people in the trades. It’s just bizarre how this country works.
Yeah this is an important part of things. It v an be mutually beneficial. Kid doesn’t have to pay for housing solo and parents have help with the house.
One big issue in this country is there’s a massive disconnect between what someone needs to make hourly to pay rent and bills comfortably and what older people see as an absurdly high wage for an hourly worker.
This video does kinda drive home how fucked the right is. Cause they acknowledge that their opponents include an imagined coalition between anyone who is religious and conservative but not white and American…and all the actual lefties.

Truck guy is still doing all the same stuff but he is stuck for now with a smaller truck that doesn’t have the same enhancements to the exhaust or the sound system so it isn’t annoying at all. This will be remembered as a time of tranquility on my block.

It seems like for a lot of folks the beach is only useful if it’s warm and sunny enough to lounge in a bikini or swim trunks. Which is fair cause that is a classic way to be at the beach. But those of us that live where it’s not usually that warm have other beach ideas!!
This means a lot to me! I only really got into movies a couple years ago and took for granted watching these awesome rep screenings at the Egyptian. I saw The Conversation there! And Texas Chainsaw Massacre. And figured it might be over.
WFLM Seattle is soft-opening the Egyptian Theater in Capitol Hill with $10 Midnight Movie screenings on Saturday nights through the rest of 2026.

I think it’s true that it’s hard to be carless if you have kids in most cities. But the less car dependent the city is, the more reasonable it becomes to do things like take your kids to a game or a museum without a car.
can you imagine herding three children under 8 years old through a crowded subway or on the bus when you need to go somewhere? just the logistical challenge, forget about how neurotic about safety that makes people

The answer is good rain coats and not really going out in the pouring rain. We should probably just use umbrellas more tho.
okay i have a question for my washington friends
i know umbrellas are pretty much illegal but what do you do when it’s raining really hard? do you wear a coat? a hat? do you just walk around wet? what is the situation?

Acquiring enough pairs of Darn Tough wool socks to rotate them and wear them daily has been a huge quality of life upgrade.
