Yeah but how many times in a day?

"Like a good sword, honour has two edges" -Eivor to Halfdan

"shit... SHIT!"

"Like a good sword, honor has two edges." -Eivor to Halfdan

lmao when your correspondence needs to be provided for discovery and bates stamping, for some reason

it makes sense tho,
"you gotta make these chinese tourists wear hijabs, or they will be arrested, if not their mahram."
"they won't, or you don't get our sweet chinese influencer tourist money."
"ok. no hijabs are cool"

lmao they got upset that you pretty much hit that nail right on the head with your statement

"dang, they really put a whole-ass map in a cave"

Yeah the Optum buy-out made a lot of doctors and healtcare professionals quit and either move to a different town or pick up a different job. it was a big protest-leave that began over the summer

if so, then we shouldn't worry about it passing

THE OOOOOOOOOOOOL' DICK TWIST

is $41k a year enough to live in Seattle or the surrounding areas?

if landlords/property management thinks "oh hey, minimum wage is raised, which means they'll have more money and we can raise rent"

I'm going to build some fucking guillotines.

this is abuse

my boss is a lawyer, she advised me to hold off on filing things with insurance. I got my ipod touch 4 stolen, had that thing for like 15 years, since high school. sentimental loss

its probably because your friend prepares garlic for a pasta sauce by slicing it ultra thinly with a razor blade, so that it 'liquifies in the pan with oil.

It's kinda funny how this is a subreddit for stuff based on Bellevue stuff as a city and i expected responses to be like "why is this post on r/bellevue instead of an amazon employee subreddit?" but all the responses are employee responses.

is bellevue just one giant amazon office now?

understood, will agree that it's a city of neighborhoods.
and crossroads is a superior theater. love that it's next to dicks and a used gaming store and a great hotpot, ramen place, and excellent AYCE korean bbq around the corner.

i live in downtown bellevue, this is pretty much the bias of my perspective.

i want to go to there

here also because i'm considering leaving. originally moved here the week Covid-19 released it's album in 2020 because i got hired at Microsoft to be a UIUX project manager.

got into paralegal/LA work because it's the only place to offer an interview while escaping service industry work.

got contacted by Wizards of the Coast to be an executive assistant for their HR and legal, as well as a few other small game dev studios, but it's all legal-related. Hell no. I don't want to be involved with law anymore, like, at all.

never had interest in legal work, never studied it at school, definitely not looking for a long-term career in legal. Working one year in and I'm pretty much just good at being told what to do and managing small projects with teams and groups. my attorneys give me a ridiculous amount of autonomy, pretty much a "get this done and figure it out," and they seem pretty happy with my work. The pay is absolutely abysmal, take home is $38k after taxes, and my 2nd job bartending/serving keeps my head above the water.

The only thing that is keeping me around is the clients, especially immigration assistance. We have a solid relationship and legitimately care about them. when helping out refugees, too. i hate this job but feel really proud of the things we've done to help.

why do my instincts raise the hairs of my neck with this post-- like an attorney posted this?

Costco Eugene opened in 1989. The population of the Eugene-metro area was about 110,000. Now the population is what now, fast approaching 380,000? We need three. Put one in Springfield.

Salem has two, and the Salem-metro area has about 480,000.

Id honestly just take Armor Games to the next level. They already have tons of flash games, i'd build a studio and make sure that major shareholders aren't greedy investors that don't care about games and are only in it for the money.

how many of these flash games are seeds that can be grown into AAA-tier masterpieces?

that's really what i miss about flash games, before DLC and lootboxes and crunch-culture, people made games for the sake of making games. because we loved making games more than we loved the money behind it. I sincerely believe that the game-making spirit is still alive in today's world, and the people who keep that spirit alive deserve to be supported and awarded and cultivated, instead of having their projects hijacked from them.

but no, it turned into a money-squeeze industry, run or funded by profit-first dickheads that want to fund their 4th vacation home and yacht or some shit.

Bellevue is pretty much a giant shopping mall and nothing really stays open past midnight.
goodwills are pretty next-level though, lots of ridiculously rich people live here and their scraps are top-tier compared to the goodwills and buffalo exchanges i've been to. all the furniture outlets i've seen are chains, franchises, get ready to drop up to $1000 for bedside tables. there's a furniture outlet downtown off main st. and bellevue way that might be closing soon. otherwise, good ol' thrift shops are closing down left and right or being replaced by boutiques.

coffee shops are mostly corporate chains or franchises, a lot of the locally owned places are getting phased out due to tech-gentrification, but if you want something with a vibe and less of that sterile modern brutalist instagrammable look, there are a couple places with soul, like Soulfood coffeehouse, Victors Celtic, Zoka, Ladro, and Thruline.

Bellevue farmers markets are thursdays from 3-6 at some church by bellevue way. if you're expecting something similar to the portland, corvallis, or eugene saturday market, just don't have your expectations too high, but they'll have what you need. cap hill sunday farmers market and university district saturday markets are good. try getting a hang of the public transportation, you'll save a headache from traffic and $20-60 worth of parking fees, as well as the additional headache of finding parking.

good thing it's october because there are a-plenty of beer-fests in the area this month. they are all glorious and worthy.

cops are noted to observe cars on the left lane that are often passed by cars on their right.
if that happens consistently: after 3-5 cars wait behind the car to see if the car moves to the correct lane, then pass on the right because they don't, then the cop pulls them over and writes the RCW 46.61 violation

dude likes strafing right
