Rants Raves and Stupid Shit in Seattle.

[InFrequently]

In anticipation of my move to Seattle next month, what can you guys recommend for Seattles best Micro Brew beer? Also I will likely live near the SEA airport, best restaurants, sports grills? Pizza? Thanks guys!

Best beer in Seattle? You'll have to narrow your interests down a lot. There are 60+ breweries in Seattle alone, and many more in the region.

Fremont, Georgetown, and Rubens are the bigger names.

Cloudburst, Sea Pine, Holy Mountain, are always winning awards.

Even neighborhood brew operations tend to be pretty good around here.

This is "stupid shit," so this definitely belongs here.

Let me tell you about gym class when I was in sixth grade. A seventh grader named Aaron, told others what his gym basket lock combination was: 30-1-15. Well, somebody remembered it. Pretty easy to remember. How many of you played Mike Tyson's Punch-Out, and used the code 206-882-204X, the number for Nintendo, where you got beeps? The code to Mike Tyson is also easy to remember: 007-373-096X.

Wan day during after school sports, someone snuck into the boys locker room, and opened Aaron's locker. He had this little black bag that he kept things like deodorants in. He got his basket, held his nose and said, "Ooh, something stinks. ".

Aaron opened his little bag, said "Wo-yah!" He threw out what was in the bag. You know how at the river, wet sand fuses ROCKS together? A big piece of SHIT fused his three bottles of deodorant together! With the shit-deoderant conconction on the floor, ALL of the boys went:

"ELLLLLLLLLLLL!

The "ELLLLL" went non-stop for about five minutes. Classmate Eric turned to me, and said, "Why don't you eat it," and he laughed.

The gym teacher walked by and said, "Man Aaron, why do you have to put your poop here in the locker room?

A few days later, someone snuck into the boys locker room again, after school, and shitted in Aaron's basket, and smeared the shit all over his clothes with a ruler. Aaron said, "I want to switch baskets. " There was his clothes with shit smeared on it, that sat there the rest of the school year!

It's our culture here in this country. We like family-values, even for those who don't have a family. Girls standing out on a public street and bending-over at traffic while wearing a thong isn't going to work in the USA, not even in one of the most liberal pockets of the country. That right there ought to tell us all something. Girls have been out on Aurora for decades, locals just generally understood that. It was other crimes it tended to draw such as drug-dealing that they didn't like. But now that the new girls are scantily-clad, that's suddenly a much bigger issue. It's right out in their faces. Moms and their children, all of those delicate people to whom seeing flesh causes PTSD and a rush of moral violations. We can't have that in America. I mean hell, it's now a felony to pay for sex in Texas. What's odd to me is that there are plenty of conservative voters who pay to see providers, yet they vote for politicians to put more laws on it. I don't get that part.

Candidate for City Attorney Kennedy proposed de-criminalizing sex work here in Seattle. The police union called her an anarchist. In my opinion, though, they would need to create an area where girls can work, away from residents. Again, Americans are too good to see that stuff. We like people to be in jail for things which jail will never ever change nor fix. Meanwhile I go to Europe and the attitude is different.

If you can't do better than $200 to stare, then that is a reflection on you. You are projecting that onto everyone else, and it is not representative of everyone's experience. If it sucks so bad feel free to stay off the stroll, the ladies are probably tired of being hassled for BBFS and getting lowballed.

Only in the USA where people get ptsd from scantily clad women!

There could be some simple solutions for the local community to work with the ladies to cover up a little better, but I won't bother because the only solution to anything is banning. It is perfectly ok for them to allow all the homeless and druggies constantly stealing and dumping trash but can't have some ladies walking around.

As far as le goes, they should be trying to keep minors and pimps out of there, and go after people robbing other people. And tell the community that is good enough. For being defunded etc. The local community doesn't even deserve that much service from them.

His special forces was a whole different kinda special.

What the hell is wrong with the Seahawks?

Severe lack of any pass rush. Crappy QB's have all day to throw against us. No defense can cover all day. Colt Mcoy carved up our defense in our house, not because he's a great QB but because he had all day.

It's been said that spies can use sex to get secrets. The US and NATO say they didn't really use sex as a weapon, but apparently the Soviets were quite adept at it. Depends upon which side you believe. Apparently the Soviets had some really hot Afrikaner girl from South Africa who could extract anything from even the most hardened man.

Although not 100% "valid", the series The Americans contained quite a lot of how Elizabeth and Philip used sex to get information.

If you're seeking information about submarine positions ahead of the invasion of Ukraine, you might be in the wrong place.

Who here has been in the military?

Whether for even a few weeks, to many years?

For privacy reasons, you don't have to say which branch, or for what country.

I would like to know who here has been in the military. Sometimes, knowing that about somebody, can help me understand them better. Whether you actually go to combat, or not, being in the military has a visible effect on people, that others can see.

One of the first keys to getting along with others, is to understand their life experiences.

[MartyByrde]

This is totally irrelevant and inappropriate to ask!

If you want to get along with others treat them with respect. Build them up and not tear them down.

You first.

Give us your name, rank, and serial number, soldier.

I suspect a good percentage of people here are vets. My username comes from roaming the villages around Camp Casey and Camp Hovey a few decades ago. And I've been loving the Korean women ever since!

Not a good thing to ask for on your first post. I'd be surprised if anyone replies.

Trust me, that is not his first post. Alts run deep on this board.

Why does the USASG servers go down every fucking night for maintenance? By the time everyone else goes to bed and I can browse freely it's already offline. Every. Single. Night.

Is that really necessary? Could it be once or twice a week instead?
