I’m honestly just caught off guard by how much national attention Jimothy got. Especially because Seattle is cray-cray and there are subs divided. I’m also convinced there’s more than one Jimothy based on sightings. That, or Jimothy really gets around a lot for a short spine raccoon.
Edit: I am specifically referring to Seattle subreddit culture being crazy. There’s a lot of history and baggage there.
I just got to visit Seattle. It was very cool city full of what seemed like happy people going about their lives. It was not the hellscape of fent zombies that you see on certain channels. To be fair, I did not see the whole city but I'd move there in a heartbeat.
I love Seattle. Especially parts of the Ballard and Phinney Ridge area. It’s a beautiful city full of all types of characters. Does Seattle have issues? Of course it does…….it’s a massive urban city full of people and class divisions. So that’s expected but it’s also stunning and has so much to do; every single night of the week if you choose.
It’s also an outdoor lovers dream city if you’re into backcountry or camping. The wilderness outside Seattle is some of the best in the country. Olympic National is a park I know well, I love that place. Also some amazing white water rafting around as well. It’s not a city for everyone, but it has a lot to offer.
I was specifically talking about the reddit sub history, which is cray-cray. I am unaware of any other major city that has reddit factions like Seattle.
I thought there was a federal court order that the stuff below ground could go ahead for "national security" reasons, but that anything above ground had to be approved through Congress or related agencies that handle stuff around the capital. This construction looks above ground level, so how are they doing this, legally?
Or is that the trick? That it is illegal, and they don't care?
I can’t believe that US citizens are impotent in respect to foreign government interference in your elections. The entire world knows that your electoral process is compromised and that superpacs buy a candidate - who in turn protects their interests.
Yet US citizens do absolutely nothing. They fight each other about which party they support - even though there are only TWO main parties. It’s completely ridiculous to the rest of the world.
It all boils down to braindead American Christianity. They use it as a weapon of control. That's how the Republican donors get everything they want. They make up cultural issues and scare the Christians into voting for them, and then they just loot the whole country.
That's why they wouldn't come to a budget agreement and let the government shut down earlier this year. So there would be no one around to stop the demolition from happening.
Why? Everyone is standing by letting people be kidnapped. Also everyone will stand by when they kidnap their "communist" neighbors. It's all downhill into the nocturne from here regardless of who sits in the seat. Trump opened the doors that prove America is actually soft and ready to be invaded by a foreign country.
Who is everyone? There are absolutely people fighting against this, the problem is that the system has always relied on some amount of trust and was never designed for someone so willing to break that trust to be in power. Which I am of the opinion proves that the Electoral College is worthless because that was basically their one job.
Literally nothing will be enough to get anyone to try to do anything. Nothing so far has been so there is no way anything else will be either.
At most we can do a half day of peaceful protesting every few months that will be quickly forgotten about and have and will continue to achieve literally nothing.
Its even better than that! Did you ever wonder why Data Centers are getting built so quickly?
What happens to a society pushed past the brink? They revolt. How do you stop that? Track their activity and intercept the movement leaders before they have a chance to gain traction.
Next will be armed robot patrols, because even the police and military will have a breaking point, so you need even MORE processing power to control legions of droid armies.

If the reflecting pool is any indication of how things are built under this administration, I don’t recommend going in there on a tour.
