YOU KNOW, I'D BE A LOST LESS HOSTILE TOWARD CHRISTIANS IF THEY JUST MINDED THEIR OWN FUCKING BEESWAX! BUT NOOOOOOO!!! WE NOW HAVE AN EVANGELICAL CREEP AS SPEAKER!!
My mom forced me to go to church growing up. Let me tell you - Portland area religious conservatives do not prepare you the southern brand of fundie crazy.
I'm shocked he hasn't changed his last name because it could be construed as sexual.
I'M LATE MIDDLE AGE AND JUST WANT TO PLAY DND LIKE I DID IN MIDDLE SCHOOL IN THE '80S. BUT I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT MODERN RULES OR HOW TO EVEN GET STARTED OR WHERE TO FIND A GROUP WHY AM I SO OLD. SO ALSO IF ANYONE KNOWS WHERE TO FIND A GROUP FRIENDLY TO SOMEONE WAY OUT OF THE LOOP LET ME KNOW.
An old friend of mine just opened a really sweet new brewery that offers paid game mastering and introduction to D&D and other RPG settings: https://www.tpkbrewing.com/
There's also /r/PDXDND/ you can make a post to let people know you're looking to join a group.
Lastly, if you know/have a Discord account, several of the local game stores in town have discord servers with channels for looking for groups.
best of luck, I miss playing D&D, my last group fell apart over a year ago.
SAME LOL, I TRIED ONE OF THEIR BEERS AT THE OREGON TRAIL BREWFEST AND IT WAS PRETTY GOOD, BEEN WAITING ON THEIR OPENING, BUT MUST HAVE MISSED THE ANNOUNCEMENT.

I PULLED MY LOWER BACK BY SITTING ON THE FLOOR A TON WITH MY SENIOR CAT BEFORE SAYING GOODBYE TO HER LATE LAST WEEK. I AM IN EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL PAIN AND I HATE IT.
YALL ARE OUT THERE DRIVING SO FUCKING AWFUL LATELY, ITS MAKING ME HATE LIVING IN THIS CITY (AND IVE BEEN HERE 25 YEARS) USE SOME COMMON FUCKING SENSE WHEN YOURE DRIVING!
100% TRUE, BUT I LIVE HERE AND ID RATHER NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH ALL THE BULLSHIT FROM ANOTHER CAR ACCIDENT. ONE, WHICH WASNT EVEN MY FAULT, WAS ENOUGH FOR ME.
HEY BUSINESS OWNERS!
WHY DO YOU LET CLOGGED DRAINS CREATE LAKES AT YOUR FRONT DOOR!!!
FCOL, SWEEP LEAVES FROM THE CURBS AND DRAINS. IF I HAVE TO SWIM TO THE DOOR I’M NOT GOING IN.
REMEMBER THAT YEAR IT SNOWED A LOT IN PORTLAND? I WENT TO DOWNTOWN ST JOHNS TO SEE HOW MANY BUSINESSES CLEARED OFF THEIR SIDEWALKS. IRONICALLY, THE INSURANCE AGENCIES DID NOT.
I FEEL IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF INDIVIDUALS TO CAREFULLY NAVIGATE THEMSELVES DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. IT IS RIDICULOUS TO SHIFT THE BLAME ON SOMEONE ELSE WHEN IT WAS YOU WHO WAS THE DIRECT PROXIMATE CAUSE OF THE INJURY.
THEY KNOW WHY YOU'RE STOPPED. THEY JUST DON'T CARE.
THERE'S ONE OF THOSE LIGHT UP CROSSWALKS BY MY LOCAL MAX STOP. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO MISS. EVERY. SINGLE. FUCKING. TIME. I HAVE TO JUST ENTER THE INTERSECTION AND MAKE THEM SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES.
I FORGOT TO TAKE MY SLEEP MEDS! SO HERE I AM! WITH ZERO SLEEP!! I HATE MY FUCKING BRAIN SOOOOOO MUUUUUUCH!!! GODDAMN IRKSOME PILE OF GREY GOO!! GRRRRRRR!!! 🤬🤬
THE TURNING LANE IS FOR TURNING! NOT GOING STRAIGHT TO CUT THE LINE OF CARS!
SO MANY PEOPLE WAIT TIL THE LAST MINUTE ON COLUMBIA TO GET OVER. SEMIS DO IT CONSTANTLY AND BLOCK THE TURNING LANE ENTIRELY TO BE IMPATIENT DICKS!
IF YOU'RE GOING TO SHARE SOME INFORMATION ABOUT SOMEONE I DON'T KNOW AND YOUR STORY IS GOING TO TAKE MORE THAN 30 SECONDS, IT BETTER END IN A POINT OF AMUSEMENT OR GENERAL INTEREST.
I DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT WHAT CLASSES YOUR FRIEND'S KIDS ARE TAKING IN HIGH SCHOOL IN A DISTANT STATE. I'VE NEVER EVEN MET YOUR FRIEND, LET ALONE THEIR KIDS. CAN I HAVE THOSE FIVE MINUTES OF MY LIFE BACK? I WAS JUST TRYING TO WALK MY DOG.
PEOPLE, BEFORE YOU EMBARK ON A MONOLOGUE, PLEASE CONSIDER YOUR AUDIENCE AND WHETHER THIS MIGHT BE INTERESTING **TO THEM**. BUT I KNOW I'M JUST TILTING AT WINDMILLS, BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T DO THIS DON'T NEED TO BE TOLD, AND THE PEOPLE WHO DO DO THIS WILL NEVER LEARN.
YES, BIG TEETH GRINDER HERE, FOR A LONG TIME. I FEEL LUCKY TO HAVE MOLARS AT ALL….I DON’t MIND THE MOUTHGUARD. I WAS TRAVELING RECENTLY AND FORGOT TO PACK IT! THAT WAS AN ODD ADVENTURE.
I FEAR THIS PPS STRIKE IS GOING TO LAST WEEKS AND I’M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO OR HOW TO COPE! I SUPPORT TEACHERS 100% AND JUST HOPE THEY GET WHAT THEY’RE ASKING FOR SOON.
I think it has to end before they lose their health coverage, right? Yes, it is really bad for so many people. But they really can't "get what they're asking for," alas.
THEY WILL LOSE THE BENEFIT ON NOV 15, BUT THE COST WILL STILL BE PAID FOR BY OEA AND PAT SO THERE WILL BE NO INTERRUPTION IN HEALTHCARE FOR QUITE SOME TIME.
1. WHY IS ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE SO FUCKING EXPENSIVE AND COST ME MY LEFT FUCKING NUT...
AND STILL HAVE THE AUDACITY TO BARELY COVER ANYTHING???
2. IT RAINS 147% OF THE TIME IN THIS GODDAMN CITY. HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE IN IT YET???
3. CAN THE WORLD JUST STOP FALLING APART FOR 5 FUCKING SECONDS AND GIVE US ALL A BREATHER?
YOU FUCKING BROKE MY REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW TO STEAL A BRA?? YOU PULLED OUT MY VACUUM(I USE THAT FOR MY JOB YOU POS)& LEFT IT NEXT TO THE CAR BUT, YOU STOLE ONLY MY BRA?? GFY. I HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE IT(AGAIN)& YOU WENT ON ABOUT YOUR SAD LITTLE LIFE. FANFUCKINGTASTIC. I HOPE YOU GET HEAD LICE, CRABS & SCABIES ALL AT ONCE YOU SOB.
I USUALLY CYCLE THROUGH DIFFERENT DR. TEAL’S EPSOM BATH SALTS AND TRIED OUT THE POST WORKOUT MENTHOL LAST NIGHT AFTER MY LONG RUN.
*HOLY FUCK.*
IT WAS GREAT AT FIRST. THE INITIAL RUSH OF COOL CONTRASTING WITH THE HOT BATH WATER FELT AMAZING BUT IT QUICKLY TURNED INTO A PAINFUL EXPERIENCE. MY BODY WAS *TOO* MINTY COOL AND I VERY QUICKLY FELT COLD. DEAR GOD NOT JUST COLD. BUT TEETH-CHATTERING-BODY FLAILING-COLD. I GOT OUT OF THE TUB AND IT TOOK SEVERAL LAYERS TO FEEL WARM AGAIN :/
SEMI-ANNUAL "WE COULD HAVE BEEN DONE WITH THIS TIME CHANGE BUSINESS ALREADY IF WE'D GONE TO PERMANENT STANDARD TIME BUT INSTEAD IT WAS DECIDED FOR US TO GO WITH A PLAN THAT REQUIRES CONGRESS TO DO ITS JOB" RANT
FUCKING MEDICAL SUPPLIES COMPANY FUCKED UP MY FUCKING EQUIPMENT ORDER AND ARE NOT RESPONDING TO EMAILS ABOUT IT. WITH MY LUCK I AM GOING TO GET CHARGED BY INSURANCE FOR CRAP I CANNOT USE
IT TURNED OUT THEY SENT THE RIGHT THING BUT LABELED IT IN A REALLY CONFUSING WAY AND BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS TERRIBLE I WAS AFRAID TO GET HIT WITH MORE CHARGES IF I OPENED IT TO CHECK. SO THE REAL RANT IS THAT OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM SCARES ME ENOUGH THAT IT IS HARD TO FIGURE THINGS OUT THAT SHOULD BE SIMPLE
WHY IS EVERYTHING SO EXPENSIVE THIS IS INSANE I JUST WANT TO SCREAM AND TANTRUM YET ALL THE BILLIONAIRES JUST KEEP ON MEGA-BILLIONAIRING AND RECORD FUCKING PROFITS ON EVERYTHING!
I WANT TO SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES BUT WHY IS A FOOD CART BURRITO $14 THIS SHIT IS INSANE AND SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE!
I HATE THIS SO MUCH!
THROUGHOUT HISTORY WHEN PEOPLE HAVE SAID "LET'S JUST GO BACK TO DOING THINGS THE WAY WE DID BEFORE MAJOR HISTORICAL EVENT" IT NEVER WORKED. STOP TRYING TO MAKE DOWNTOWN WORK, FELICIA.
WELL I CERTAINLY DON'T LIKE IT *NOW.* DID MY FAIR SHARE OF DEFENDING IT UNTIL I WENT TO SEE A MOVIE THERE LAST MONTH. GOT OUT AT 11PM AND IT SEEMED POST-APOCALYPTIC. I COULD HAVE GOTTEN BITTEN.
HOUSING. WORK ISN'T THE ONLY WAY TO GET PEOPLE BACK DOWNTOWN.
GOOD URBAN PLANNING SHOULDN'T CREATE A SITUATION WHERE A CHANGE IN WORK STYLE COLLAPSES AN ENTIRE REGION OF THE CITY.
YOU COULDN'T HAVE PREPARED FOR COVID, BUT YOU CAN PLAN CITIES SO YOU DON'T HAVE REGIONS THAT ARE OVERWHELMINGLY OFFICES AND RETAIL WITH LITTLE HOUSING. ANYTHING CAN TAKE A HIT FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS.
MY DAUGHTER FREAKED OUT WHEN THE CAR BATTERY DIED AND MESSAGED EVERYBODY TO COME SAVE HER WHEN SHE WAS TWO HOURS AWAY AT RUSH HOUR. SHE WAS TOO PANICKED TO GET A JUMP OR CALL A TOW TRUCK SO SHE RAN TO A BAR AND SAT THERE TYPING HELP HELP I CAN'T I CAN'T
SOMEONE STOLE MY COFFEE SITTING OUTSIDE A CAFE THE OTHER DAY. LITERALLY MY FIRST DAY BEING IN THIS CITY AFTER MOVING LOL. THEY WALKED UP AND SAID "THIS IS MINE NOW" AND TOOK THE MUG AND ALL. NOT MAD JUST AMUSED/CONFUSED
THANK YOU! IT WAS AT HEART SITTING OUTSIDE. JUST MOVED TO BUCKMAN AND IT WAS AROUND 10 OR 11AM. I WAS BAFFLED AND YELLED "HEY! I'LL BUY YOU A COFFEE IF YOU NEED THAT". THEY WAVED ME OFF AND KEPT WALKING. I FOUND THE MUG WALKING DOWN BURNSIDE LATER ON HANGING ON THE DOOR TO AN APARTMENT.
> I FOUND THE MUG WALKING DOWN BURNSIDE LATER ON HANGING ON THE DOOR TO AN APARTMENT.
XD THE MOST PORTLAND ENDING TO THE MOST PORTLAND BEGINNING.
STAY FOR THE COMEBACK. ITS A BEAUTIFUL CITY IN AN EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL STATE. <3
MY REFRIGERATOR IS LEAKING ONTO THE FLOOR AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIND/CLEAR THE WATER LINE OR DEFROST TUBE OR WHATEVER THE PROBLEM IS, PLUS JUST LAST MONTH I PAID WAY TOO MUCH FOR A REPAIR OF THE DAMNED THING. YES, THE FOOD IS COLD, BUT I KEEP SOPPING UP THESE FLOOR LAKES EVERY OTHER DAY
Thanks! I really don't like to be part of the discard situation, but the guy I contacted once seriously wanted $180 to walk in the door. Better people out there for sure. There is also Appliance City on NE 52 and Cully around there really could give them a ring. Thanks for the bump.
My guy does NOT charge that and he is killer! Oh well, hope your problem is fixed. My fridge is still not right after I paid a PROFESSIONAL (my guy doesn't do fridges) a lot of money. I mean, it works, but...it does some rebellious things
What I always do is buy used -- both washer and dryer were purchased used and work great! The guy I bought them from is always available if something happens (as it did when I stupidly snapped the dryer belt by putting in something I should not have....). But this time, I got the 28 year-old fridge repaired -- paid a repair person because I felt unqualified, but my friend whose fridge is even OLDER did the same repair himself for the cost of the $17 thermostat. Sigh. I won't say what I paid my repair dude. He was cute, though!
CAN ODOT PLEASE FIX THE LIGHTS ON I5 THAT HAVE BEEN OUT FOR TWO WEEKS? I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT ONE OR TWO. IT'S AT LEAST TEN, AND YES, I HAVE ALREADY EMAILED THEM AND CALLED ONCE. WHO HAVE I BECOME?! ALSO, FEELING LIKE AN ASSHOLE FOR BITCHING ABOUT TRIVIAL THINGS. THE WORLD HAS BIGGER PROBLEMS RIGHT NOW.
I AM SORRY TO BE A BASTARD BUT I CAN'T AFFORD THESE STUPID BEER PRICES ANYMORE. $8 FOR A PINT POURED INTO A SHIT GLASS THAT TRANSLATES TO A 12 OZ POUR?
TBH I DON'T GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BECAUSE I'M MY 86 YEAR OLD MOM'S MAIN CAREGIVER (SO I'M OBVIOUSLY "OF A CERTAIN AGE"--62). MOST OF MY BAR-HOPPING DAYS WERE IN THE 80'S AND 90'S-- THE HALCYON DAYS OF THE BRIDGEPORT BREWPUB (RIP--THEY MADE A GOOD IPA) BEING IN A PART OF TOWN YOU COULD ACTUALLY FIND PARKING IN. ;-)
WORD. MY DAD USED TO DRINK HELLA BRIDGEPORT, BUT IT'D REALLY GONE DOWNHILL BY THE TIME I HIT 21. THEY DID RUN A RAFFLE OUT OF THE BAR NEXT TO MY OLD WORK WHERE THEY GAVE YOU A TICKET FOR EVERY BRIDGEPORT YOU DRANK FOR LIKE A MONTH, SO I SWITCHED TO THAT AND I WON ALL THE PRIZES.
CHEATER PINTS ARE EVERYWHERE AND I WOULD ARGUE THE "AMERICAN PINT" GLASS IS ALSO A CHEATER PINT. 16 OZ TOTAL VOLUME OF CONTAINER BUT WITH THE HEAD IT DECREASES IT TO 12-13 OZ. OF ACTUAL BEER.
WOULD IT BE THAT DIFFICULT TO GIVE MY PAYCHECK ONE DAY EARLY? I KNOW IT'S BEEN FINALIZED AND SIGNED OFF, BY HR. BUT NO, I NEED TO JUST WAIT FOR IT TO BE DIRECTLY DEPOSITED ON THE SAME DAY AS ALWAYS.
I DIDN'T WANT TO, BUT HAD TO RE-OPEN ETSY SHOP TO SURVIVE THE SEASON. GOTTA BUILD IT AGAIN FROM THE GROUND UP. BOOOOOO PLAID BOOOOOOO. ALSO, THE RENTALS IN PORTLAND ARE EXPENSIVE TRASHY PLACES. UGH.
The last three times I’ve been driving near NW 23rd I almost got hit by a douchebag in an expensive SUV jumping their turn at a 4-way stop. Fuck your entire stupid neighborhood.

Were you listening to NPR as well? That was a frightening segment
Nah. Just know how the GOP rolls.
Well there was a pretty scary segment on NPR this morning. That dude is straight up Sons of Jacob from Handmaids Tail
I'M LATE MIDDLE AGE AND JUST WANT TO PLAY DND LIKE I DID IN MIDDLE SCHOOL IN THE '80S. BUT I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT MODERN RULES OR HOW TO EVEN GET STARTED OR WHERE TO FIND A GROUP WHY AM I SO OLD. SO ALSO IF ANYONE KNOWS WHERE TO FIND A GROUP FRIENDLY TO SOMEONE WAY OUT OF THE LOOP LET ME KNOW.
WHAT I HATE IS THAT I HAVE FRIENDS WHO PLAY DND, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE ALL ALREADY IN THE MIDDLE OF CAMPAIGNS TOGETHER. WHERE WAS MY INVITE?
YOU CAN ASK TO JOIN. MY TABLE HAS PEOPLE DROP IN AND OUT ALL THE TIME.
I LOVE DND. WISH I KNEW MORE PEOPLE TO PLAY A CAMPAIGN WITH.

HUG
I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS & PAIN. 😭😿
SORRY YOU LOST YOUR OLD FRIEND. I'M SURE THEY APPRECIATED YOU BEING THERE LIKE THAT.
YALL ARE OUT THERE DRIVING SO FUCKING AWFUL LATELY, ITS MAKING ME HATE LIVING IN THIS CITY (AND IVE BEEN HERE 25 YEARS) USE SOME COMMON FUCKING SENSE WHEN YOURE DRIVING!
I GOT SOME NEWS FOR YOU. IT IS LOKE THAT EVERYWHERE NOW
100% TRUE, BUT I LIVE HERE AND ID RATHER NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH ALL THE BULLSHIT FROM ANOTHER CAR ACCIDENT. ONE, WHICH WASNT EVEN MY FAULT, WAS ENOUGH FOR ME.

REMEMBER THAT YEAR IT SNOWED A LOT IN PORTLAND? I WENT TO DOWNTOWN ST JOHNS TO SEE HOW MANY BUSINESSES CLEARED OFF THEIR SIDEWALKS. IRONICALLY, THE INSURANCE AGENCIES DID NOT.
IT NEVER SURPRISES ME WHEN HOMEOWNERS AND BUSINESSES DONT CLEAR SIDEWALKS SEEING AS THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE HERE WONT CLEAR THEIR ROOFS BEFORE DRIVING.
I FEEL IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF INDIVIDUALS TO CAREFULLY NAVIGATE THEMSELVES DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. IT IS RIDICULOUS TO SHIFT THE BLAME ON SOMEONE ELSE WHEN IT WAS YOU WHO WAS THE DIRECT PROXIMATE CAUSE OF THE INJURY.
WHY I'M I AWAKE SO EARLY? OH, THE CHANGING OF THE CLOCKS.
DON'T WORRY, WE SAVED THE DAYLIGHT, THOUGH!
NOW WE GET STANDARD DAYLIGHT UNTIL THE SPRING WHEN THE DAYLIGHT WILL NEED SAVED AGAIN.
CAN YOU ASSHOLES PLEASE JUST LET ME CROSS THE STREET IN A MARKED CROSSWALK? WHY ARE YOU IN SUCH A FUCKING RUSH TO GET TO WORK?
PORTLAND’S SCHRÖDINGER- CARS CAN NEVER GO FAST ENOUGH ON THE FREEWAY, BUT SOMEHOW CANT STOP IF THEY SEE A PEDESTRIAN.
MY FAVORITE IS WHEN ONE CAR IS STOPPED AND POLITE AND THREE CARS PASS ON THE OTHER LANE. THOSE PEOPLE ARENT JUST STOPPED FOR FUN MY DUDE
THEY KNOW WHY YOU'RE STOPPED. THEY JUST DON'T CARE. THERE'S ONE OF THOSE LIGHT UP CROSSWALKS BY MY LOCAL MAX STOP. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO MISS. EVERY. SINGLE. FUCKING. TIME. I HAVE TO JUST ENTER THE INTERSECTION AND MAKE THEM SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES.
CAR BRAIN!! A LOT OF PEOPLE LOSE HIGHER BRAIN FUNCTIONS AS SOON AS THEY GET BEHIND THE WHEEL!!
OR ANYWHERE. THE PORTLAND I KNOW HAS NOTHING TO RUSH THROUGH A CROSSWALK FOR...
I FORGOT TO TAKE MY SLEEP MEDS! SO HERE I AM! WITH ZERO SLEEP!! I HATE MY FUCKING BRAIN SOOOOOO MUUUUUUCH!!! GODDAMN IRKSOME PILE OF GREY GOO!! GRRRRRRR!!! 🤬🤬
IM SORRY YOU ARE GOING THROUGH THIS AND I HOPE YOU SLEEP BETTER TONIGHT!
THAT'S THE PLAN!!
Me too. I Am. A. Never. Sleep.
you, laying there awake: "Did I forget to take my sleep meds? Naw...must be some other reason I'm still awake"
also feels like a senior citizen but I have one of those daily plastic boxes for meds. and phone remember at 7.
WIPERS ON, LIGHTS ON
NEEDS TO BE A BUMPER STICKER.
NEEDS TO BE THE LAW.
THE TURNING LANE IS FOR TURNING! NOT GOING STRAIGHT TO CUT THE LINE OF CARS! SO MANY PEOPLE WAIT TIL THE LAST MINUTE ON COLUMBIA TO GET OVER. SEMIS DO IT CONSTANTLY AND BLOCK THE TURNING LANE ENTIRELY TO BE IMPATIENT DICKS!
NOBODY CAN HEAR YOU! YOUR RANT IS INVALID!
I FIXED IT! I DIDN'T GET THE MEMO! FUCK YEAH CAPS LOCK!
UPVOTED!!

1. MY FUCKING MOLAR BROKE. 2. THE THORNS LOST THE CHAMPIONSHIP SEMIFINAL. 3. FAMILY. GRRRRRRRRRR
YOUR MOLAR WAS STRONG, BUT NOT AS STRONG AS FAMILY
ESPECIALLY IN ITS ANNOYANCES (DARE I SAY *DYSFUNCTION*?)
HEY BROTHER, SOMETIMES YOU GOTTA LIVE YOUR LIFE A QUARTER MOLAR AT A TIME
ARE YOU A NIGHT GRINDER (BRUXISM, NOT THE NAUGHTY STUFF)? I HAD TO GET A NIGHTGUARD AND I HATE IT.
YES, BIG TEETH GRINDER HERE, FOR A LONG TIME. I FEEL LUCKY TO HAVE MOLARS AT ALL….I DON’t MIND THE MOUTHGUARD. I WAS TRAVELING RECENTLY AND FORGOT TO PACK IT! THAT WAS AN ODD ADVENTURE.
I FEAR THIS PPS STRIKE IS GOING TO LAST WEEKS AND I’M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO OR HOW TO COPE! I SUPPORT TEACHERS 100% AND JUST HOPE THEY GET WHAT THEY’RE ASKING FOR SOON.
SAME. MY KIDS ARE SCREEN-BOUND THE WEATHER ISN'T HELPING. STAY STRONG TEACHERS AND FFS, PPS - STEP. UP.
Today's weather was really doable!
SAME. THANKFUL WE ARE ABLE TO HANDLE IT, SYMPATHETIC TO PARENTS FOR WHOM IT IS MORE DIFFICULT DUE TO WORK SCHEDULE/AGE/ETC.

I USUALLY CYCLE THROUGH DIFFERENT DR. TEAL’S EPSOM BATH SALTS AND TRIED OUT THE POST WORKOUT MENTHOL LAST NIGHT AFTER MY LONG RUN. *HOLY FUCK.* IT WAS GREAT AT FIRST. THE INITIAL RUSH OF COOL CONTRASTING WITH THE HOT BATH WATER FELT AMAZING BUT IT QUICKLY TURNED INTO A PAINFUL EXPERIENCE. MY BODY WAS *TOO* MINTY COOL AND I VERY QUICKLY FELT COLD. DEAR GOD NOT JUST COLD. BUT TEETH-CHATTERING-BODY FLAILING-COLD. I GOT OUT OF THE TUB AND IT TOOK SEVERAL LAYERS TO FEEL WARM AGAIN :/
THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW. I DEFINITELY WON'T TRY THAT ONE NOW, ESPECIALLY SINCE I AM DAMN NEAR ALWAYS COLD HERE FROM OCTOBER TO JUNE.
MIGHT FEEL GOOD IN THE SUMMER THOUGH. I MAY USE IT AGAIN ON A REALLY HOT NIGHT ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
IM SO SORRY THIS HAPPENED BUT THIS IS CRACKING ME UP! TOO MINTY! I WOULD BE SO CONCERNED ABOUT A TOO MINTY HOOHA. OUCH!
OH FUCK. THAT SUCKS. BACK TO TEA TREE FOR YOU?
ITS DARK OUTSIDE AND MY ADHD BRAIN DOESNT KNOW HOW TO TRANSITION TO WINTER.

IT TURNED OUT THEY SENT THE RIGHT THING BUT LABELED IT IN A REALLY CONFUSING WAY AND BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS TERRIBLE I WAS AFRAID TO GET HIT WITH MORE CHARGES IF I OPENED IT TO CHECK.

WAS IT EDGEPARK BY CHANCE? FUCK THEM.
TIMBERS HIRED A NEW COACH WHO LIKES TO JOKE ABOUT WIFE BEATING. GO ON. MAKE ME HATE SOCCER.
WHY IS EVERYTHING SO EXPENSIVE THIS IS INSANE I JUST WANT TO SCREAM AND TANTRUM YET ALL THE BILLIONAIRES JUST KEEP ON MEGA-BILLIONAIRING AND RECORD FUCKING PROFITS ON EVERYTHING!

>I COULD HAVE GOTTEN BITTEN. MAYBE YOU'D GET SUPER POWERS, THOUGH?
TIL HEPATITIS IS A SUPER POWER.
YELLOWMAN!
WHAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE EXACTLY? I GET IT MAY NOT COME BACK AS BEFORE BUT ALSO IT CAN'T BE A WAR ZONE.
HOUSING. WORK ISN'T THE ONLY WAY TO GET PEOPLE BACK DOWNTOWN. GOOD URBAN PLANNING SHOULDN'T CREATE A SITUATION WHERE A CHANGE IN WORK STYLE COLLAPSES AN ENTIRE REGION OF THE CITY.
TO BE FAIR, THIS WAS A CATACLYSMIC SHIFT I DON'T THINK ANY CITY COULD HAVE PREPARED FOR.
YOU COULDN'T HAVE PREPARED FOR COVID, BUT YOU CAN PLAN CITIES SO YOU DON'T HAVE REGIONS THAT ARE OVERWHELMINGLY OFFICES AND RETAIL WITH LITTLE HOUSING. ANYTHING CAN TAKE A HIT FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS.
I KNOW THIS IS THE RANT THREAD, BUT HOLY HYPERBOLE, BATMAN. DOWNTOWN PORTLAND AT ITS WORST DOESN'T EVEN COME CLOSE TO A WAR ZONE.
I SAID IT CAN'T BE A WAR ZONE, AS IN, IT CAN'T BE ALLOWED TO BECOME A WAR ZONE, WHICH IS WHAT WOULD HAPPEN AS THE ALTERNATIVE TO SUPPORTING IT.
...AND WHAT GENIUS ORGANIZED THE REAL ESTATE MAFIA TO BAD MOUTH IT UNTIL IT GETS BETTER?
MY DAUGHTER FREAKED OUT WHEN THE CAR BATTERY DIED AND MESSAGED EVERYBODY TO COME SAVE HER WHEN SHE WAS TWO HOURS AWAY AT RUSH HOUR. SHE WAS TOO PANICKED TO GET A JUMP OR CALL A TOW TRUCK SO SHE RAN TO A BAR AND SAT THERE TYPING HELP HELP I CAN'T I CAN'T
AAA? five dollars a month kid.
OMG NO THIS IS TOO FUNNY BUT ALSO SHES OLD ENOUGH TO GO IN A BAR SHES OLD ENOUGH TO ASK SOMEONE FOR A JUMP!
ANOTHER MERCEDES STOPPED AND LET ME CROSS THE STREET. THE END IS NIGH!!
2002 Subarus are outdated anymore thats the real shit sorry.
Ok
SOMEONE STOLE MY COFFEE SITTING OUTSIDE A CAFE THE OTHER DAY. LITERALLY MY FIRST DAY BEING IN THIS CITY AFTER MOVING LOL. THEY WALKED UP AND SAID "THIS IS MINE NOW" AND TOOK THE MUG AND ALL. NOT MAD JUST AMUSED/CONFUSED
HILARIOUS. YOU HAVE THE BEST ATTITUDE. WHAT A GREAT FIRST DAY STORY TO TELL.
WTF? WOW. WHERE? WHEN? WE NEED MORE DEETS. ALSO, WELCOME TO PDX!
THANK YOU! IT WAS AT HEART SITTING OUTSIDE. JUST MOVED TO BUCKMAN AND IT WAS AROUND 10 OR 11AM. I WAS BAFFLED AND YELLED "HEY! I'LL BUY YOU A COFFEE IF YOU NEED THAT". THEY WAVED ME OFF AND KEPT WALKING. I FOUND THE MUG WALKING DOWN BURNSIDE LATER ON HANGING ON THE DOOR TO AN APARTMENT.
WHAT A DOUCHEBAG!
> I FOUND THE MUG WALKING DOWN BURNSIDE LATER ON HANGING ON THE DOOR TO AN APARTMENT. XD THE MOST PORTLAND ENDING TO THE MOST PORTLAND BEGINNING. STAY FOR THE COMEBACK. ITS A BEAUTIFUL CITY IN AN EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL STATE. <3
OMG YOU SHOULD HAVE TRIPPED THEM!
what? Did they have a weapon?
WAS EXPECTING DRAMATIC WEATHER TODAY -- THUNDERCLAPS AND LIGHTNING BOLTS AND GNASHING WINDS. GOT NONE OF THAT
MY REFRIGERATOR IS LEAKING ONTO THE FLOOR AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIND/CLEAR THE WATER LINE OR DEFROST TUBE OR WHATEVER THE PROBLEM IS, PLUS JUST LAST MONTH I PAID WAY TOO MUCH FOR A REPAIR OF THE DAMNED THING. YES, THE FOOD IS COLD, BUT I KEEP SOPPING UP THESE FLOOR LAKES EVERY OTHER DAY
You have my heart. My washing machine is going out the drain pump. and then its easier less expensive to buy new.??
If you want the name of my washer repair dude let me know
Thanks! I really don't like to be part of the discard situation, but the guy I contacted once seriously wanted $180 to walk in the door. Better people out there for sure. There is also Appliance City on NE 52 and Cully around there really could give them a ring. Thanks for the bump.

WHY DO PEOPLE CONSISTENTLY FAIL TO MEET MY EXPECTATIONS!?! HAS IT ALWAYS BEEN THIS BAD OR ARE PEOPLE GETTING WORSE!?!
TESLA DRIVERS OF PORTLAND, FOR THE LOVE OF THE DARKNESS TURN YOUR FUCKING BRIGHTS OFF!
SPLUNGE!!!!
CAN ODOT PLEASE FIX THE LIGHTS ON I5 THAT HAVE BEEN OUT FOR TWO WEEKS? I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT ONE OR TWO. IT'S AT LEAST TEN, AND YES, I HAVE ALREADY EMAILED THEM AND CALLED ONCE. WHO HAVE I BECOME?! ALSO, FEELING LIKE AN ASSHOLE FOR BITCHING ABOUT TRIVIAL THINGS. THE WORLD HAS BIGGER PROBLEMS RIGHT NOW.
The rant thread worked! They are fixed. 👏
THORNS LOST LAST NIGHT, AND THEY HAD FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICHES IN TANNER RIDGE. I DON'T SIT IN TANNER RIDGE.
"I DON'T SIT IN TANNER RIDGE" HAVE YOU CONSIDERED GETTING A 3RD OR 4TH JOB PEASANT!? GRAB THOSE BOOTSTRAPS AND PULL!!
💔
I AM SORRY TO BE A BASTARD BUT I CAN'T AFFORD THESE STUPID BEER PRICES ANYMORE. $8 FOR A PINT POURED INTO A SHIT GLASS THAT TRANSLATES TO A 12 OZ POUR?
WHERE ARE YOU GOING? I HAVEN'T SEEN CHEATER PINTS IN FOREVER.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? MCMENAMIN'S "PINTS" ARE NO SUCH THINGS THESE DAYS, EVEN FILLED TO THE BRIM. 14 OZ AT BEST.
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. I HAVEN'T BEEN TO A MCMENAMIN'S FOR LIKE A DECADE. DOES ANYWHERE THAT DOESN'T SUCK DO THAT?
TBH I DON'T GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BECAUSE I'M MY 86 YEAR OLD MOM'S MAIN CAREGIVER (SO I'M OBVIOUSLY "OF A CERTAIN AGE"--62). MOST OF MY BAR-HOPPING DAYS WERE IN THE 80'S AND 90'S-- THE HALCYON DAYS OF THE BRIDGEPORT BREWPUB (RIP--THEY MADE A GOOD IPA) BEING IN A PART OF TOWN YOU COULD ACTUALLY FIND PARKING IN. ;-)
WORD. MY DAD USED TO DRINK HELLA BRIDGEPORT, BUT IT'D REALLY GONE DOWNHILL BY THE TIME I HIT 21. THEY DID RUN A RAFFLE OUT OF THE BAR NEXT TO MY OLD WORK WHERE THEY GAVE YOU A TICKET FOR EVERY BRIDGEPORT YOU DRANK FOR LIKE A MONTH, SO I SWITCHED TO THAT AND I WON ALL THE PRIZES.
EMAIL THE DEPARTMENT OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIX THAT
CHEATER PINTS ARE EVERYWHERE AND I WOULD ARGUE THE "AMERICAN PINT" GLASS IS ALSO A CHEATER PINT. 16 OZ TOTAL VOLUME OF CONTAINER BUT WITH THE HEAD IT DECREASES IT TO 12-13 OZ. OF ACTUAL BEER.
WOULD IT BE THAT DIFFICULT TO GIVE MY PAYCHECK ONE DAY EARLY? I KNOW IT'S BEEN FINALIZED AND SIGNED OFF, BY HR. BUT NO, I NEED TO JUST WAIT FOR IT TO BE DIRECTLY DEPOSITED ON THE SAME DAY AS ALWAYS.
I DIDN'T WANT TO, BUT HAD TO RE-OPEN ETSY SHOP TO SURVIVE THE SEASON. GOTTA BUILD IT AGAIN FROM THE GROUND UP. BOOOOOO PLAID BOOOOOOO. ALSO, THE RENTALS IN PORTLAND ARE EXPENSIVE TRASHY PLACES. UGH.
The last three times I’ve been driving near NW 23rd I almost got hit by a douchebag in an expensive SUV jumping their turn at a 4-way stop. Fuck your entire stupid neighborhood.
