Riot medicine is the practice of medicine in an adversarial environment. It exists outside of formal and State sanctioned medical services. Practitioners of riot medicine go by many names (riot medics, street medics, demonstration medics, action medical), but at the end of the day, their goals...

https://www.ownerscounsel.com/when-can-property-owners-challenge-eminent-domain/ Doesn't seem like it, that would be kind of a silly loophole. It's pretty easy, standard paperwork to form a trust, I think you can do it online for a few hundred dollars, so everybody would just have their...

A Trust is something people form for a variety of reasons, it really depends. Sometimes a Trust is formed as part of a will when somebody dies, sometimes somebody makes one for tax reasons or to obscure the identity of the person that actually owns the property. It doesn't really mean anything...

I've seen the one up in Central City too, wasn't sure if it can still run.

Is that the one that was in Cheyenne?

Here's my photos from this year's jambo. If you have some please add them to the thread! I'm looking at you @jimi This year was a blast, we had an abundance of food and alcohol, hikes, live music, and gorgeous scenery. We had no drama between dogs and humans, great weather, and great location.

People dropping from this left and right...I only know of for sure 4 of us actually making it at this point. I have @Jerrell and his friend, me, and @jimi ...is anybody else going to actually be joining in?

Basically anything within a two hour drive of Seattle will be blown up on the weekends, I can guarantee this. We can rely a lot on the midweek lull, and there are also a variety of forest service roads around the cascade mountains in national forest. We do have the option of basically going down...

I'm from Washington...but people also often don't prepare for rain in the summer, especially when it hasn't rained in months, so I thought I might let people know so they'd be prepared, especially since if you're used to Washington you should know that .02 could become 2.0 fairly unexpectedly.

BTW we will be expecting rain during the period of the jambo, so be prepared.

I'd tag along on that, I have a couple ideas on places to look and I'm in Seattle atm

For those of you coming through a bit early, PM me if you hit Seattle over the weekend or early next week. I can hook you up with showers and point you toward places to hang out and chill sleeping spots.

They weren't just protecting their own shit, they were setting up roadblocks looking for people they don't think belong there, specifically "antifa", with cops giving them instructions on how to get away with murder of unarmed people. And armed people hanging out in fire evacuation zones...

I'm fine with tattoos being popularized and normalized. I'm all for rebelling, but I think inking yourself solely to be "rebellious" is silly. I get tattoos because I want art that nobody can ever take away which carries personal meaning to me, not for other people, and not having to face...

Why would you even come to this thread to say you don't have any tattoos and people with tattoos are stupid.

I've heard multiple reports of this going on in different areas in Oregon, fueled by suggestions from local law enforcement that protesters are the source of the wildfires, running around lighting things on fire. https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/14/us/oregon-armed-checkpoints-wildfires-looting-trnd...

Fuck! I hung out with Dingee here in Seattle a few months ago and we got along really well. Really sad to see this one.

Really no other animals are actually that great for the road (and I'd go so far as to say that generally, it's not a good environment for dogs either). The obvious second choice is cats, but cats enjoy stability and having the same place to sleep, and have more of a tendency to get lost and...

The boat will have identifying information and can always be traced back to somebody that has legal claim on it, but honestly if it's such a crap boat that it's been abandoned that completely it's not even worth wanting to claim. There's an old saying in the boat community..."no such thing as a...

This is not how salvage works, unfortunately. First off, the boat needs to be in actual peril, as in headed for rocks (a sandy beach is not peril for a boat). Secondly, you don't get the boat; after salvage, you're able to place a salvage lien on the boat, which means that the boat's owner owes...

Nope, it was shut down a while ago. There's still multiple protests daily in Seattle, though.

If you haven't picked up the basics yet, I'm in Seattle and could give you some lessons sometime.

$550 is not enough to really get much of anything started...$550 is barely enough to rent a room for a month in Bellevue, if they somehow didn't want a security deposit or last month's rent, which isn't going to happen. You'd be better off using that money to set up a little kitchen or something...

Please don't respond with just two letters.

@LostGoonesunderthestars Please make coherent sentences, and please don't create threads just to send a message to one single user.

Damn, furling jib and an intact bimini? Lucky find!

Bellingham is alright, but you'll find far more boats in the Seattle/Olympia area (Olympia is also a good spot). I would keep an eye on the entire Puget Sound area since it'll make it far more likely you'll find a deal. However, this time of year cheap boats will be few and far between; you'll...

The CDC has literally no power, and the government has ignored it and circumvented it every step of the way. Almost nobody followed their guidelines on reopening, it took months before people took masks seriously, and Trump's budget proposal for 2021 calls for cutting their funding by $700...

I'll show you how to make that thing sing.

Heh, didn't notice this thread until just now. I live in the area, we'll have to meet up sometime. The recent shooting is looking like a huge fuck-up on the side of CHOP security, but it's hard to sort out the details right now.

Between the protests and COVID and our broken economy, not a great state. A lot of people are acting like business as usual, but it feels like a front everybody is putting on in the face of imminent collapse.

Yup! I've been out there and these are first hand observations. And yeah, the people who just want to believe every ridiculous rumor aren't really worth arguing with, they have a specific thing they want to believe and that's all they'll see.

Occupied Protest. It was changed to put emphasis on the fact that it is a protest, rather than a permanent takeover of public land.

Seeing a lot of rumors going around about this space in Seattle, so I figured I'd make a post here dispelling rumors and giving people an idea what it is/what it's about. What happened was that protesters originally attempted to march past the police station, but police chose not to allow them...

Things aren't getting out of hand in CHOP, despite what the media has been telling you using a few short clips out of context. It's been overwhelmingly peaceful and safe ever since the police left. Unfortunately just working on ourselves won't work if the police don't work on themselves. You can...

@CouchPunx I also wrote this a while ago, which should help you some: https://squattheplanet.com/threads/from-zero-to-sailor-a-quick-guide.33273/

I have experience here...I lived on a 26' sailboat for 3 years, and I was sailing it singlehanded after a single lesson. It's definitely doable; boats honestly aren't hard, and Puget Sound is mostly a cakewalk. I live in Seattle, so let me know if you need advice on any boats you're looking at...

Oregon is actually one of the very few states where walking/hitching along the interstate is legal.

This is practically a duplicate of your last post on the same forum, so I'm moving it to that thread. Please don't make duplicate posts.

Ah yes, the old argument that slavery was moral because "everybody was doing it." So let me see if I've got this straight...you're telling me that the bible is a pack of lies written by men, changeable by men, and up to the interpretation of men? If only I had realized that earlier.

He didn't talk about the advantages of it, he literally only said that it works. Maybe read the tweet in question. If you can find anywhere that Dawkins actually says we should do eugenics, I'd love to see it. I'll do you one better and show you his follow-up tweets. Oh yeah, totally the Hitler...

That's an unfortunate decision...I'm not trying to attack you; in our culture victim blaming is so built in that it's easy to do without realizing it. Rather than feeling attacked, you could take it as a learning moment. You could also avoid these kinds of controversial threads where emotions...

Unfortunately, life is not that simple. "If it was so bad she should've just left" is not a valid excuse for consent, or for bad behavior. They may not have the perception that they can leave; they may have a certain level of fear or emotional instability that makes it difficult. They may think...

"It doesn't count unless it's at gunpoint" is kind of setting a pretty high bar for actionable bad behaviour.

Is he wrong, though? Scientifically, it would work. Are you seriously condemning him for stating a scientific fact while acknowledging that ethically it's not a valid path? Are we supposed to pretend that genetics doesn't work because eugenics is wrong? What gives you that idea? Atheists may...

I like how you cherry pick a few words out of the definition. It comes down to the entire definition. Money isn't a "controlling power" because nobody thinks that money is a sentient being that consciously decides their fates. You're just performing extraordinary reaches of sophistry. That's...

Yeah, completely wrong. From the latin word "religionem", "respect for what is sacred, reverence for the gods; conscientiousness, sense of right, moral obligation; fear of the gods; divine service, religious observance; a religion, a faith, a mode of worship, cult; sanctity, holiness." "the...

There's a little trick here. Most of the time, these laws specify that a roadway is the part of the highway normally used for traffic, exclusive of the shoulder. Meaning that as long as you're not hitching from the middle of the road, you're actually fine. Hitching the turnpike in Jersey is...

Some, but mostly not. The majority of cops are either unaware of the anti-hitching laws or just don't care. Usually even the ones that care will just use it as an excuse to run your name and then send you on your way; it's not worth the paperwork for them, especially when they know you're broke...
