there is an internal tool used by some teams at work for automating setting up test virtual machines and running automated test suites called "pusheen"
it prints out an ascii art version of that cat when you run it. I had no idea what the hell they were on about when I started using it as I had never heard of pusheen.

to get an idea of housing prices in Seattle, the asking price for this place in Ballard is $600,000. I would wager it's going to go for at least a few 10s of thousands more than asking.
Ballard isn't even one of the top tier expensive neighborhoods. A few years ago it was where you went because the really expensive places had become too much.
We got surprisingly decent history in our Pacific Northwest History class. But that was in Junior High and then subsequently glossed over again in extremely European immigrant centric highbscool histories.
PNW history : here are some excerpts from journals describing very complex economy of some Native American cities that existed in the region and the kind of stuff traded with European sailors.
HS: Natives were savages without advanced anything who couldn't compete with European Settlers and also weak constitutions leading to them being wiped out by smallpox.
I love PNW contact stories. There's a pretty long period of contact before any large-scale settlement started, so there's a lot of interesting interactions there.
One thing Puget Sound natives apparently liked to do was to negotiate with sailors - super horny after long sea voyages - for sex with their wife or other woman in their household. The head of the household would negotiate long and hard, raking the sailors for every possible bit of value they could extract. And then at the end of these long negotiations, the man would go, "...Actually, the deal's off, I changed my mind." It was apparently quite the popular amusement to troll sailors this way, and a way to demonstrate a sort of petty superiority over the foreign traders.
Ooooon the other hand there's also a lot of evidence that not every dude reneged on the deal, and apparently had full power to prostitute out women from his household, especially slaves, without the women having any say in the matter. It resulted in both a lot of mixed race kids - who often weren't really accepted by either of their parent cultures - as well as an epidemic of venereal diseases.
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

Ehh that is a lot sale. You tear down the house and build something nicer and twice the size on it.

At that point, the house price is just reflecting the price of the piece of land that it's on to be able to build whatever the hell one would tear down that house and build a new one with, right?
The animation style is SO CREEPY.
I watched the trailer and I would never play that game in a million years even if it didn't look completely unfun (to me because I am bad at platformers and bullet hells).
It definitely seems like it's achieving the look the creators wanted, though.

The book Comanche empire does some really cool stuff like that in the south west.
At one point the Spanish in New Mexico were trading corn for guns and ammunition because the Comanches had better access to firearms than they did.

Pusheen pillow for sale. Good condition only cuddled, never humped.
Told him I couldn't help him. That was...weird.
Should I have given him five bucks or something? I think I would have if he actually had a reason. I don't know what just happened.
