Lemmy is community-centric like Reddit, rather than user-centric like X/Twitter. If you want to follow specific users then look for a microblog platform like Mastodon. Or try mbin, which combines multiple platforms as another commenter mentioned.

Seattle’s situation may change once Amazon starts enforcing their full-time return-to-office policy in 2025. I expect other companies will follow suit. Though in the mean time there is more room for the office market to fall; another Seattle Times article from August mentioned:

Seattle’s downtown is now second only to San Francisco’s for risk of office loan foreclosures, according to a recent analysis by Kaplan Group, a debt collection firm, which warns that high-risk cities “could see a wave of loan defaults or even localized fire sales.”

I would love to see some of that empty office space convert to other uses. Every city’s office/retail core feels soulless if nobody lives there, or even has a reason to go there after 5pm.

I’m hoping for the faint smell of old cigarette smoke that’s permanently baked into every surface.

The wand is blurry because of its immense power, not because the stupid camera focused on the rocks.

That’s really neat!

At 28:23 somebody forgot to enter the year of the P. Diddy sample. It just says “(year)”. Lol fuck P. Diddy.

This is a better fit for !politicalhumor@lemmy.world. I’m going to remove this one due to the community “no politics” rule.

Go team Burrowing Owl! They had a good showing last year. This year it’s time to go all the way!

Ah, gotcha. I misunderstood.

I immediately recognized that top pic from the Springfield Armory museum. It’s definitely worth a visit for anyone passing through central Massachusetts.

Andrew Jackson was also a bastard, especially for his treatment of natives. But I meant Johnson.

It is complicated because the rules are different in each state. Also, Trump was convicted in New York state but he resides and votes in Florida.

For out-of-state convictions, Florida defers to the other state’s rules. New York would allow Trump to vote if he resided there because he is not currently in prison, so Trump can vote in Florida legally.

Not a weapons expert, but I imagine a 2000 lb guided bomb could fuck up a building pretty well. The tool ignored the whole “while minimizing collateral damage” part, though.

While W. sucked in many ways, there is no way he is the worst. Off the top of my head I can easily think of four better contenders: Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan (both guilty of pro-slavery fuckery before the Civil War), Andrew Johnson (fought to let the Confederates off the hook after the war and opposed the 14th amendment), and Donald Trump (first president to be impeached twice, first to be convicted of a felony, and may be remembered by future historians as the spark that ignites the next Civil War).

Go big on reflective clothing. Rather than having small reflective patches on your clothes or bike, you can get jackets where the whole garment is made of reflective fabric. When a car’s headlights hit you that jacket will light up like the sun.

Ortlieb’s high-vis panniers are similar.

Seems like the world has moved away from that

Assuming that the world was once just, and recently changed to become unjust, is completely flawed. History provides endless examples of people with power and money doing horrible things and facing little or no consequences.

Oh, I completely get it. It’s a battle of delayed gratification versus instant gratification. I can take care of business now and have stress-free fun later, or I can have fun now and let future-me deal with the consequences.

The composition and lighting sure draw the eye to certain… features.
