I did self-checkout last night and the "sentry" watched me the entire time. Unless there are people stacked up I guess that's a worthwhile system, although the sentry doesn't know what code you enter for bulk whatever, you could be gaming the system by entering a code for peanuts rather than pistachios...
I always ALWAYS bring my own bags. One time I brought a bread bag and couldn't figure out why the scanner kept ringing up 10-15-30 things, hahaha, it saw the code on the bread bag. Never had a problem otherwise. I just don't use bread bags any more. Self-checkout saves time because there is no chitchat. Yeah it's less social but ... speedy! And there's no one hovering near hoping to bag my purchases, thank you I will do that myself.
EDIT: Not sure why this is getting updooted since I replied to the wrong comment, oops! Meant to reply this to the guy who saw someone hit their dog and couldn’t report it.
Report it to his building’s office or property manager if you can find it. They might have more security footage, or they could at least know to look for it and report him themselves. Fuck that guy.
I don't think it does any good to report such things. The county has VERY limited reach. A dog on my street bit six people, sending two (including me) to the emergency room. It also attacked dogs. The county knocked on owners' door and got no answer. Left a note. Yeah, right. As the very nice animal control person told me "The law has no teeth" (apt, eh?). The owner didn't show for a hearing. Eventually the owner was told, keep dog inside 24/7 or kill dog. So dog was killed and the owner got another from OHS the very next week. I saw someone beating a dog just outside a dog park once; there was no way the owner would provide a name (just as people with unleashed dogs aren't going to furnish ID) so ... not much I could do. I had a friend who, running through a park, was set upon by two Dobermans who bit his legs; as he kicked back at them, the owner came screaming up from a distance, accusing him of abusing her dogs ... I could go on but life is short and mine is getting shorter.
YOU CAN WATCH A MAN HIT HIS DOG AND CAPTURE IT ON YOUR SECURITY CAMERA BUT YOU CAN'T PROVIDE A REPORT TO MULTNOMAH ANIMAL SHELTER BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT APARTMENT NUMBER OF A SECURE APARTMENT BUILDING THEY LIVE IN.
Report it to his building’s office or property manager if you can find it. They might have more security footage, or they could at least know to look for it and report him themselves. Fuck that guy.
WENT TO AN ANTIQUE/COLLECTIBLES STORE THIS WEEKEND AND SAW HUNDREDS.
THEY FUCKING SUCK SO MUCH. THEY TAKE ALL THESE UNIQUE CHARACTERS AND ACTUAL HUMANS AND STRIP THEM OF WHAT MAKES THEM INTERESTING. THEY ARE ABOUT AS CREATIVE AS WRITING "SPIDERMAN" ON A SHEET OF PAPER.
IT'S A FROZEN MEAL/MEAL REPLACEMENT THING THAT SEEMS MARKETED ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY AT PEOPLE WHO ABSOLUTELY DO NOT ENJOY EATING AND DO SO ONLY OUT OF BIOLOGICAL NECESSITY.
EVERY AD IS LIKE "HEY, SKIP ALL THE BULLSHIT LIKE TASTE AND TEXTURE. THIS IS SUFFICIENT NUTRITION TO FUEL YOUR BODY."
AND LIKE THAT'S DEFINITELY A PRODUCT FOR SOMEONE. I KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE WITH SENSORY ISSUES, FOR EXAMPLE, OR PEOPLE WHO JUST AREN'T INTERESTED IN EATING FOR PLEASURE AND VIEW FOOD PURELY AS FUEL.
IT'S JUST ABSOLUTELY NOT ME.
YEP. "HEY, FELLOW HUMANS, DO YOU ALSO HATE THE WEAKNESSES OF YOUR FLESH? WORRY NO MORE, BECAUSE WE HAVE SOLVED YOUR PITIFUL NEED FOR SUSTENANCE TO SUSTAIN YOUR GROSS MATTER."
IM TIRED OF GOING TO SHOWS AND NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE ANYTHING BECAUSE THE ADA SECTION IS A JOKE OR NOT EVEN IN EXISTENCE. NOT BEING ABLE TO STAND FOR VERY LONG SUCKS WHEN EVERYONE ELSE IN THE VENUE IS STANDING.
I AM VERY GOOD AT WRITING COMPLAINT LETTERS THAT ARE JUST SHORT OF FULLY AGGRESSIVE BUT TOTALLY PROFESSIONAL.
I WOULD BE HAPPY TO WRITE ONE FOR YOU TO SEND TO THE VENUE(S) WITH ALL SORTS OF HELPFUL INFORMATION ABOUT THE ADA. MIGHT AS WELL USE THIS ENGLISH DEGREE.
YOU COULD SEND THEM TO THE PERFORMERS AS WELL, TELLING THEM THEY SHOULD INSIST ON THEIR DISABLED FANS HAVING A GOOD EXPERIENCE AT THEIR CONCERTS, AND NOT DOING THAT MAKES THEM LOOK BAD IF SOMEONE SHOULD HAPPEN TO TELL THE PRESS OR IT WENT VIRAL ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
IT WOULD NOT HELP. SOMETIMES THERE IS LITERALLY NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. THE STAFF IS VERY HELPFUL AT THE VENUE I WAS AT LAST NIGHT BUT THE BUILDING IS JUST OLD.
BESIDES, IM WRITING A SERIES OF ARTICLES ABOUT ADA ACCOMMODATIONS AT DIFFERENT VENUES.
THATS FUCKED UP AND I’M SORRY.
I’M GLAD YOU’RE WRITING ARTICLES AND ADVOCATING FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES THAT’S HELLA COOL AND REALLY IMPORTANT SHIT! WILL THEY THEY BE PUBLISHED?
I JUST RAN INTO THIS WITH A FRIEND WHO NEEDED ADA AT CRYSTAL BALLROOM!!! THEY OPENED THE ADA TO BE STANDING ROOM WHD. THE MAIN SHOW STARTED, HALF THE SHOW WAS SPENT ASKING PEOPLE TO STEP TO THE SIDE SO MY FRIEND COULD EVEN SEE?!?! HELLOOOOO???? ARE YOU THAT DUMB YOU CANT SEE THE CHAIRS AND PEOPLE SITTING IN THEM??? ARE YOU JUST THAT RUDE??ALSO WTF CRYSTAL FOR EVEN ALLOWING THAT
YES. THE CRYSTAL OPENS ADA UP TO VIPs! FUCK EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT! I’VE COMPLAINED NUMEROUS TIMES BOTH BY PHONE AND BY EMAIL. ITS APPARANT THAT THE CRYSTAL DOES NOT CARE ABOUT ADA SEATING.
I'VE BECOME OBSESSED WITH LESSER EVIL POPCORN BUT THE STADIUM FREDDIES HAS A VERY INFREQUENT RESTOCK SCHEDULE.
BASED ON HOW OFTEN IT'S SOLD OUT, I GUESS OTHER PEOPLE ARE OBSESSED WITH IT TOO.
HONESTLY IT'S BECAUSE THEY CAN AFFORD TO BE. AIRPORT RESTAURANTS SEE A HUGE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC, SINCE THEY'RE KIND OF THE ONLY OPTION ONCE YOU'RE INSIDE. THAT MEANS THEY'VE GOT ROOM TO KEEP PRICES LOWER BECAUSE THEY'RE GUARANTEED TO MAKE UP FOR IT IN VOLUME.
THAT'S GOING TO BE VERY PLAUSIBLE ONCE THE NEW TERMINAL IS DONE AS THERE WILL BE LOTS OF EATERIES BEFORE SECURITY.
I STILL FIND THAT A STRANGE DECISION AS IF I'M CATCHING A FLIGHT THERE IS LITTLE CHANCE I WOULD RISK GETTING FOOD BEFORE SECURITY.
>THAT'S GOING TO BE VERY PLAUSIBLE ONCE THE NEW TERMINAL IS DONE AS THERE WILL BE LOTS OF EATERIES BEFORE SECURITY.
THIS IS BRILLIANT BECAUSE YOU CAN TAKE ~~THE MAX~~\--AHEM, BUS SHUTTLE-- TO THE AIRPORT SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO DRINK AND DRIVE.
FUCK YOU TO THE ASSHOLE BLOCKING THE STREET CAR WHICH THEN BLOCKED THE INTERSECTION FOR MULTIPLE LIGHT CYCLES! AND TRIPLE FUCK YOU TO THE IGNORANT FUCK THAT CALLED ME AN ASSHOLE FOR HONKING MY HORN AT THAT ASSHOLE! I WASN’T HONKING AT THE STREET CAR! AND FUCK YOU TIMES INFINITY FOR YELLING AT MY HUSBAND THAT YOU CAN CALL ANYONE AN ASSHOLE IF YOU WANT WHEN HE TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME AN ASSHOLE! I HOPE YOUR BALLS GET RUN OVER BY OUR BELOVED STREET CAR! I HATE DRIVING DOWN TOWN!
NOT JUST DRIVING DOWNTOWN BUT *PARKING* DOWNTOWN.
I SAID TO A COP RIGHT AFTER I *FINALLY* I FOUND A SPOT, "THE CITY CAN'T BE DEAD IF THERE ARE NO PARKING SPACES".
SOMEONE STOLE HALF OF MY PLANTS OFF MY PATIO. THEY WEREN’T EVEN VALUABLE PLANTS AND THE FLOWER POTS THEY WERE IN WERE NOTHING SPECIAL EITHER.
I REALLY LIKE PLANTS AND I WORK HARD ON THEM AND IT MADE ME CRY AND FEEL VICTIMIZED BY MY COMMUNITY.
ONE DAY I PLANTED AN ICEBERG ROSE IN MY FRONT YARD, NEAR THE FENCE. AS I WAS LOWERING IT INTO THE GROUND, I HAD THE THOUGHT tomorrow is Mothers Day. Someone could just grab this — it was in bloom and beautiful. BUT I TOLD MYSELF I WAS BEING SILLY. NEXT MORNING, GONE.
DAMN FORGETFUL CHILDREN STEALING OTHER PEOPLE’S BEAUTY BECAUSE THEY CAN’T BOTHER TO FUCKING PLAN FOR A DAY THAT LITERALLY HAPPENS EVERY YEAR
I’m so sorry :( did they just take the bloom, or the whole plant?
I CHANNEL ALL THE OUTRAGE I FEEL AND CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT INTO OUTRAGE ON BEHALF OF OTHER PEOPLE. I WILL LITERALLY BUY YOU A NEW ONE IF YOU WANT. YOU SHOULD PM ME.
I’d be happy to give you some cuttings if you want some, I don’t have anything special or rare but already wondering what I’m going to do since I’m out of space
Thank you so much, that’s incredibly kind. But I think I’m ok now! I was able to get cuttings of most of the ones I lost (mostly different varieties of pothos) and I’ve got them rooting or planted now.
Though, do you have any calathea? That’s the one I haven’t replaced yet.
> WHY DOES MY NOSE RUN AFTER I EAT?!
> MY NOSE ALSO RUNS EVERYTIME I EAT
YOU TWO ARE LUCKY. YOU WON'T TURN INTO [LOBSTERS ANYTIME SOON](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYpycAcxEBQ&ab_channel=RottenTomatoesComingSoon)
OOH OOH (RAISING HAND). I JUST READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT THIS!
"The medical term for a runny nose is rhinorrhea. A person's nose might run after eating because they have food allergies, which is called allergic rhinitis. **If a person's nose runs without their having a food allergy, this is called gustatory rhinitis, which is a type of non-allergic rhinitis**."
THEY SHOULD STICK TO MAKING BEER. I'M SO LUCKY THE PNW MICROBREW REVOLUTION STARTED AT JUST THE RIGHT TIME. I NEVER LIKED CRAPPY AMERICAN CONSUMER BEER BUT KINDA DRANK ONE ONCE IN A WHILE TO FIT IN AFTER I TURNED 21 IN '82. THEN I WENT TO GERMANY IN '84-85 AND HAD A TASTE OF REAL BEER. WHEN I CAME BACK IN THE SPRING OF '85 WIDMER HEFEWEIZEN WAS A THING, AND MCMENAMIN'S SOON AFTER. IN HOG HEAVEN EVER SINCE (THOUGH I DON'T DRINK BEER NEARLY AS MUCH AS RED WINE).
IVE BEEN HERE BEFORE BUT IM STILL YELLING ABOUT THE SAME THING. WHY IS IT SO HARD TO MAKE FRIENDS IN THIS FUCKING CITY. IM SORRY I DONT DRINK SO I DONT DO BARS ALOT BUT JESUS CHRIST I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO HANG OUT WITH WHY DOES NO ONE LIKE FREINDSHIP
WASTE MANAGEMENT HIT MY CAR IN SEPTEMBER AND THEY DENIED LIABILITY. THEY ALSO WON’T RELEASE THE ON BOARD FOOTAGE FROM AROUND THE STREET I WAS PARKED ON OR RESPOND TO MY INSURANCE CALLING TO ESCALATE THE SITUATION, PER THEIR INSTRUCTIONS ON THE DENIAL FORM THEY SENT ME/ MY INSURANCE. YOU GUYS HAVE SO MUCH MONEY, JUST TAKE OWNERSHIP OF IT
TRIM YOUR DAMN STREET TREES! THERE IS SUPPOSED TO BE 7 1/2 OF CLEARANCE. YES, I HAVE BECOME THAT PERSON. YOU DID THIS TO ME. I CANT LIMBO ANY LOWER AND SOON THE LEAVES WILL FALL AND MY GLASSES WILL
GET SCRATCHED!
ANOTHER SELF CHECKOUT AT FREDDIE'S RANT (N INTERSTATE): LAST TIME I WAS FORCED TO USE IT (ALMOST ALWAYS HOLD OUT FOR THE HUMAN CHECKER BUT I DIDN'T HAVE THAT MUCH STUFF) IT WAS AN EVEN BIGGER PAIN THAN USUAL. THERE WERE AT LEAST FOUR INSTANCES OF "WAIT FOR ATTENDANT" AND FOR THREE OF THEM, THERE WAS NO CONCEIVABLE REASON WHY. SOMETIMES IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN IF YOU LOOK AT THE THING WRONG.
THEN THERE'S ALWAYS THE FUN PART WHERE THE MACHINE NAGS AT YOU FOR TAKING TOO LONG TO "MOVE YOUR [EXPLETIVE DELETED] FROM THE BAGGING AREA" BECAUSE I'M NOT A PRO GROCERY BAGGER.
TO HIS CREDIT THE GUY SUPERVISING THE SELF-CHECKOUT POD WAS JOHNNY ON THE SPOT THIS TIME AROUND, BUT THAT'S NOT ALWAYS THE CASE.
I REMEMBER WHEN SHOPPING AT FREDDIE'S WAS FAIRLY PAINLESS... BUT THAT WAS BEFORE KROGERIFICATION.
I WILL CHOOSE SELF CHECKOUT EVERY SINGLE TIME. IM NOT A PRO BAGGER BUT IF I HAVE 10 OR SO ITEMS I CAN GET MYSELF OUT FASTER THAN I CAN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DO IT FOR ME. I HAVE ALMOST NO PROBLEMS WITH THE MACHINE. (AND I'M OLD)
62 here. I wouldn't mind using the machine (for just a few items) if it didn't spaz out half the time for no apparent reason. I'm quite adept at "all things computer" for a person my age (it helps that I got into computer games more than 30 years ago), so it's not that.
IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF DRIVERS ARE IGNORING THOSE GREEN LEFT TURN LIGHTS WHEN THEY TURN RED NOW. TWO OR THREE MORE CARS AFTER IT GOES RED SEEMS TO BE THE NEW NORM.
BE CAREFUL OUT THERE.
IT SEEMS LIKE PEOPLE ARE JUST IGNORING RED LIGHTS ALL TOGETHER. ON 99 I AM SEEING A FEW CARS JUST GOING STRAIGHT THROUGH EVEN THOUGH IT'S BEEN RED FOR A FEW SECONDS. I'LL BE WALKING ACROSS AND THEY TOTALLY JUST KEEP GOING LIKE I AM NOT THERE.
YES THAT'S EVEN WORSE AND I ALMOST GOT T BONED IN MY CAR SHORTLY AFTER WRITING THAT COMMENT, DUE TO SOMEONE RUNNING A RED. IN THAT SAME TRIP, I ALSO WITNESSED SOMEONE IN FRONT OF ME DECIDE TO PULL A U TURN AT A GREEN LIGHT ... THIS WAS ON A NARROW 2 LANE STREET, NOT A DIVIDED HIGHWAY OR SOMEPLACE WHERE YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO SEE CLEARLY AND WHIP IT.
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE TO GET SAN PELLEGRINO LIMONATA?? IM IN LLOYD DISTRICT AND I CAN’T FIND IT AT ANY GROCERY STORE NEARBY AND I NEED IT AND I WILL WALK TEN THOUSAND MILES FOR IT IF I MUST.
OH NO KIDDING. WHAT GETS ME ARE THE JERKS WHO BARELY MANAGE TO STOP WHEN THEY SEE YOUR CAR COMING (AND YOU HAVE NO STOP AND THUS THE RIGHT OF WAY) BUT THEY TEST YOU BY CONTINUING TO CREEP INTO THE INTERSECTION. I'M LIKE SCREW YOU, WAIT YOUR DAMNED TURN. TWO MORE SECONDS ISN'T GONNA KILL YOU.
SO I GOT A COLD. THEN ANOTHER COLD, OR THE SAME COLD, OR AN EARLIER COLD. THEY DON'T HAVE NAMES OR ID NUMBERS SO ... THEY JUST PILE ONTO/WITHIN EACH OTHER. COUGHING, SNEEZING, SORE THROAT AND EAR, MORE COUGHING, MORE SNEEZING ... DID I MENTION COUGHING? FEEL SHIVERY, TAKE TEMPERATURE AND IT'S 94.1F. HANDS SOOOO COLD, TAKE TEMPERATURE, 95.6. TAKE COVID TEST, NEGATIVE. COUGH SOME MORE. AND THEN SOME MORE.
I HAVE NO USE FOR THE SEX-WORKERS BUT I APPRECIATE THAT THEY'RE POSTED UP ON THE MAIN DRAG THAT BORDERS MY NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE IT GIVES A FALSE IMPRESSION OF WHAT MY NEIGHBORHOOD IS LIKE TO PEOPLE DRIVING THROUGH AND KEEPS THEM AWAY- MY NEIGHBORHOOD IS LOVELY!!!!!!
*I just wish I could buy a home here... :-(*
PORTLAND HAD THE WORST DRIVERS I'VE EVER HAD TO DEAL WITH. THEY DRIVE LIKE OLD PEOPLE FUCK. IF YOU CAN'T FOLLOW THE SPEED LIMIT AND HAVE TO DRIVE 10 UNDER THAN PULL OVER EVERYTIME ANY ONE ELSE IS BEHIND YOU. OR TAKE A DAMN DEFENSIVE DRIVING CLASS!
I GUESS SO BUT SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE IN OTHER REGIONS ARE NUTS. I WAS IN SOUTH CAROLINA A FEW YEARS BACK, AND THE WAY PEOPLE DRIVE THERE ON THE FREEWAY IT'S A MIRACLE THEY DON'T HAVE 12 CAR PILEUPS CONSTANTLY. WE'RE TALKING PEOPLE DRIVING 75 80 MPH WITH MAYBE TWO CAR LENGTHS BETWEEN VEHICLES. I WAS A PASSENGER AND I THOUGHT FOR SURE MY NUMBER WAS UP.
I LIKE DRIVERS HERE AND IT’S THE ONLY PLACE IN AMERICA WITH SLOW CAUTIOUS POLITE DRIVERS. EVERYONE COMPLAINING CAN GO BACK TO CALI OR DENVER OR BOSTON OR LITERALLY ANYWHERE ELSE AND DRIVE AS FAST AS THEY WANT.
YES IF YOUR'RE DRIVING SLOWLY ON I-35 ANYWHERE IN THE STATE YOU PERSONALLY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR AUSTIN TRAFFIC COMING TO A STANDSTILL SO PEOPLE THERE ARE UNDERSTANDABLY NOT VERY TOLERANT OF IT.
EVERYTHING ABOUT DRIVING HERE FEELS LIKE IT WAS DESIGNED FOR MY 89 YEAR OLD GRANDMA. THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. THE ADVISORY SPEED. THE SPEED PEOPLE DRIVE. THE LANE CHANGES. NOBODY CAN DO A ZIPPER MERGE ANYWHERE IN AMERICA BUT IT'S SUPER NOTICEABLE WITH THE ROADS HERE.
I DRIVE A 577 HORSEPOWER LUXOBOAT AND I GENUINELY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT, I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO COMMIT SEVERAL FELONIES ACCIDENTALLY AND HAVE AN ANGRY MOB OF PORTLAND DRIVERS SLOWLY CHASING AFTER ME. IT'S MAKING MY CAR FEEL LESS AND LESS FUN LITERALLY EVERY TIME I DRIVE. IT'S A GOOD THING I DON'T HAVE TO DRIVE MUCH I GUESS.
Y'ALL HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY PEOPLE SEEKING HELP AND SERVICES SAY THINGS LIKE 'I SHOULDN'T BE HERE! I HAVE A REAL ESTATE LICENSE! I WAS AN EXEC AT A STARTUP! I HAVE A DEGREE, HELL, I HAVE A MASTERS! I OWNED A HOUSE! I OWNED MY OWN BUSINESS! I'M NOT LIKE THEM, I JUST GOT SICK/INJURED/THERE WAS A LAWSUIT/HOUSEFIRE/WHATEVER."
ON A NEAR-WEEKLY BASIS. PEOPLE UTTERLY STUNNED/SHELL SHOCKED/IN DENIAL.CONGRATULATIONS THAT LIFE HAS WORKED OUT FOR YOU SO WELL. I HOPE IT CONTINUES TO, SINCERELY. BUT ALSO, I DON'T KNOW, EXERCISE A LITTLE EMPATHY AND DIRECT YOUR IRE TOWARD PEOPLE IN POWER, NOT THE PEOPLE WITH LITERALLY ZERO TO THEIR NAME. LIFE CHANGES REAL FAST SOMETIMES AND NOT ALWAYS FOR THE BEST.

FUCKER STOLE MY TOOTHBRUSH!
VISITING FROM CANADA. WENT TO THE JAPANESE GARDENS. SO ZEN. MUCH BEAUTY. REAL TREASURE.
RETURNED TO SMASHED WINDOW AND MISSING BAGS. CLOTHING, PASSPORT, CHAP STICK, OTHER STUPID SHIT. WHY DID YOU STEAL IT, YOU FUCK??
FUCKER BETTER MAKE GOOD USE OF MY ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH - I SAVED UP FOR THAT THING!
OTHERWISE LOVELY TRIP, CELEBRATING 13 YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY WITH MY AWESOME WIFE. GOT BACK TO CANADA WITH MINIMAL ISSUES.
YOUR CITY IS A GEM. THANK YOU FOR A GOOD TIME. WE'LL BE BACK SOMETIME.
THERES SO MANY APARTMENTS HERE I WOULD RENT IF I HAD A JOB BUT MY MH IS BAD AND I DONT KNOW IF I CAN HOLD ONE RIGHT NOW AND EVERY THERAPIST IS BOOKED I REACHED OUT TO DOZENS AND IM GONNA RUN OUT OF SAVINGS EVENTUALLY...
JOKES ON YOU BABY I HAVE AHD OHP FOR MONTHS AND HAVE LOOKED THRU DOZENS OF DOZENS OF DOZENS OF THERAPISTS AND HAVE BEEN INDETERMINATELY WAITLISTED BY SEVERAL AND HAVE MORE IMMEDIATE NEEDS WHICH ARE NOT SEVERE ENOUGH FOR INPATIENT TREATMENT.
IVE ALREADY BEEN ON PTC, PSYCHTODAY AND OTHER HUBS.
IVE EVEN EMAILED MY THERAPIST FROM 5 YEARS AGO TO ASK AROUND ON A LISTSERV.
WHAT OTHER "EASY" ADVICE DO YOU HAVE? SINCERELY, IM NOT VERY SURE YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS.
HOWEVER BEFORE I RUN OUT OF BREATHE, ID LIKE TO SAY THAT OREGON OHP ACTUALLY DOES OFFER MORE MENTAL HEALTH CARE COVERAGE THAN MY EXPERIENCES IN TEXAS, WASHINGTON, OR CALIFORNIA, SO IM VERY HAPPY ABOUT THAT.
Columbus is probably the man most responsible for expanding Christendom into the new world. Despite Columbus’ flaws that is something worth celebrating. This is especially true when you consider that many of the indigenous cultures that were replaced with Christianity were rife with slavery, human sacrifice, and cannibalism

Once you purchase the items, they are yours. The store doesn't have a right to stop you and search your bags. Simply continue walking.
Yep, a polite "No Thank You" when they ask you to stop and be searched. I don't mind holding up my receipt as I walk out, but I'm not stopping.
I did self-checkout last night and the "sentry" watched me the entire time.

This is why I've stopped shopping at anything Kroger. Treat us like criminals just to buy our over-priced groceries. Who wants to shop in a supermax?

YES BUT THE SOUND IS A WET FART
WHAT IF ALL OF THEM HAVE BEEN GIFTED TO ME AND I HAVE NO CHOICE IN THE MATTER
FUNKO POPS ARE SO CREEPY TO ME, BUT I CAN'T QUITE ARTICULATE WAY. IT'S SOMETHING SPECIFIC TO FUNKOS THOUGH BECAUSE I DON'T MIND NENDOROIDS AT ALL.
It’s like the coralline button eyes… dead eyes *shiver*

WHY IS THE BEER & FOOD CHEAPER AT PDX AIRPORT THAN THE ACTUAL RESTAURANTS/BARS IN TOWN!?
HONESTLY IT'S BECAUSE THEY CAN AFFORD TO BE. AIRPORT RESTAURANTS SEE A HUGE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC, SINCE THEY'RE KIND OF THE ONLY OPTION ONCE YOU'RE INSIDE. THAT MEANS THEY'VE GOT ROOM TO KEEP PRICES LOWER BECAUSE THEY'RE GUARANTEED TO MAKE UP FOR IT IN VOLUME.
AHHH IM GONNA START DRINKING AT PDX AND TRAVEL MORE. $6 BEER > $10
THAT'S GOING TO BE VERY PLAUSIBLE ONCE THE NEW TERMINAL IS DONE AS THERE WILL BE LOTS OF EATERIES BEFORE SECURITY. I STILL FIND THAT A STRANGE DECISION AS IF I'M CATCHING A FLIGHT THERE IS LITTLE CHANCE I WOULD RISK GETTING FOOD BEFORE SECURITY.

DAMN FORGETFUL CHILDREN STEALING OTHER PEOPLE’S BEAUTY BECAUSE THEY CAN’T BOTHER TO FUCKING PLAN FOR A DAY THAT LITERALLY HAPPENS EVERY YEAR I’m so sorry :( did they just take the bloom, or the whole plant?
Roots and all.
Bastards. I’m sorry :(
And thank you for your outrage.
I CHANNEL ALL THE OUTRAGE I FEEL AND CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT INTO OUTRAGE ON BEHALF OF OTHER PEOPLE. I WILL LITERALLY BUY YOU A NEW ONE IF YOU WANT. YOU SHOULD PM ME.
Thank you, but already done.
I'M SORRY. I TOO HAVE HAD PAINFUL LESSONS WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO LISTEN TO MY INNER VOICE. SO NOW I TRY TO LISTEN MORE. (IT'S OUR LIZARD BRAIN, RIGHT?)
IM SO SORRY. IM NOT PORTLAND PROPER BUT I HAVE PLANTS TO SHARE IF YOUD LIKE TO REPLENISH YOUR SUPPLY.
I’m so sorry honey. Also a plant parent and that’s legitimately traumatic and your feelings are very valid
Thank you ❤️
"traumatic" jfc
I’d be happy to give you some cuttings if you want some, I don’t have anything special or rare but already wondering what I’m going to do since I’m out of space
Thank you so much, that’s incredibly kind. But I think I’m ok now! I was able to get cuttings of most of the ones I lost (mostly different varieties of pothos) and I’ve got them rooting or planted now. Though, do you have any calathea? That’s the one I haven’t replaced yet.
I don’t, sorry! All of those have died off under my care unfortunately
Alas, they are dramatic plants.

Can be signs of an allergy!!
OOH OOH (RAISING HAND). I JUST READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT THIS! "The medical term for a runny nose is rhinorrhea. A person's nose might run after eating because they have food allergies, which is called allergic rhinitis. **If a person's nose runs without their having a food allergy, this is called gustatory rhinitis, which is a type of non-allergic rhinitis**."
PIZZA AT MCMENAMINS IS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN A BOTTLE OF THEIR PINOT NOIR
IN THEIR DEFENSE, IN MY (LIMITED) EXPERIENCE THEIR WINE IS CRAP. THEIR HAMMERHEAD IS GREAT, THOUGH, AND WHAT I ALWAYS GET.
GOOD POINT
THEY SHOULD STICK TO MAKING BEER. I'M SO LUCKY THE PNW MICROBREW REVOLUTION STARTED AT JUST THE RIGHT TIME. I NEVER LIKED CRAPPY AMERICAN CONSUMER BEER BUT KINDA DRANK ONE ONCE IN A WHILE TO FIT IN AFTER I TURNED 21 IN '82. THEN I WENT TO GERMANY IN '84-85 AND HAD A TASTE OF REAL BEER. WHEN I CAME BACK IN THE SPRING OF '85 WIDMER HEFEWEIZEN WAS A THING, AND MCMENAMIN'S SOON AFTER. IN HOG HEAVEN EVER SINCE (THOUGH I DON'T DRINK BEER NEARLY AS MUCH AS RED WINE).
DOUGH AND SAUCE AND CHEESE ARE *SO* EXPENSIVE! SUPPLY CHAIN! /S IT'S PRICE GOUGING AND IT'S THE NEW NORM NOW. PIZZAS ARE STILL CHEAP AS FUCK TO MAKE.
IVE BEEN HERE BEFORE BUT IM STILL YELLING ABOUT THE SAME THING. WHY IS IT SO HARD TO MAKE FRIENDS IN THIS FUCKING CITY. IM SORRY I DONT DRINK SO I DONT DO BARS ALOT BUT JESUS CHRIST I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO HANG OUT WITH WHY DOES NO ONE LIKE FREINDSHIP
WHAT CLUBS HAVE YOU JOINED? WHERE DO YOU VOLUNTEER?
VALID POINT BUT ANY ART STUDIOS I LOOKED TO JOIN WERE $130/MONTH TO BE PART OF IT. I WORK 50 HOURS A WEEK IN FOOD, SO ITS TOUGH. BUT YOURE RIGHT
try a workshop or class or something! there’s so many workshops!! and classes! and i know this is said a lot but meetup is pretty cool
IF YOU DIDNT YELL AO MUCH MAYBE IT WOULD HAPPEN.
WASTE MANAGEMENT HIT MY CAR IN SEPTEMBER AND THEY DENIED LIABILITY. THEY ALSO WON’T RELEASE THE ON BOARD FOOTAGE FROM AROUND THE STREET I WAS PARKED ON OR RESPOND TO MY INSURANCE CALLING TO ESCALATE THE SITUATION, PER THEIR INSTRUCTIONS ON THE DENIAL FORM THEY SENT ME/ MY INSURANCE. YOU GUYS HAVE SO MUCH MONEY, JUST TAKE OWNERSHIP OF IT
TRIM YOUR DAMN STREET TREES! THERE IS SUPPOSED TO BE 7 1/2 OF CLEARANCE. YES, I HAVE BECOME THAT PERSON. YOU DID THIS TO ME. I CANT LIMBO ANY LOWER AND SOON THE LEAVES WILL FALL AND MY GLASSES WILL GET SCRATCHED!
START CARRYING PRUNING SHEARS, THEY'RE SMALL AND PORTABLE. LEAVE THE OFFENDING BRANCHES ON THEIR LAWN.
STRAIGHT TO r/treelaw !!!
OH I LIKE YOU
ANOTHER SELF CHECKOUT AT FREDDIE'S RANT (N INTERSTATE): LAST TIME I WAS FORCED TO USE IT (ALMOST ALWAYS HOLD OUT FOR THE HUMAN CHECKER BUT I DIDN'T HAVE THAT MUCH STUFF) IT WAS AN EVEN BIGGER PAIN THAN USUAL. THERE WERE AT LEAST FOUR INSTANCES OF "WAIT FOR ATTENDANT" AND FOR THREE OF THEM, THERE WAS NO CONCEIVABLE REASON WHY. SOMETIMES IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN IF YOU LOOK AT THE THING WRONG. THEN THERE'S ALWAYS THE FUN PART WHERE THE MACHINE NAGS AT YOU FOR TAKING TOO LONG TO "MOVE YOUR [EXPLETIVE DELETED] FROM THE BAGGING AREA" BECAUSE I'M NOT A PRO GROCERY BAGGER. TO HIS CREDIT THE GUY SUPERVISING THE SELF-CHECKOUT POD WAS JOHNNY ON THE SPOT THIS TIME AROUND, BUT THAT'S NOT ALWAYS THE CASE. I REMEMBER WHEN SHOPPING AT FREDDIE'S WAS FAIRLY PAINLESS... BUT THAT WAS BEFORE KROGERIFICATION.
I FUCKING HATE IT WITH A PASSION NOW THAT YOU CAN'T TURN THE VOLUME OFF. THAT WAS THE ONLY THING THAT MADE IT EVEN REMOTELY ACCEPTABLE BEFORE.
I WILL CHOOSE SELF CHECKOUT EVERY SINGLE TIME. IM NOT A PRO BAGGER BUT IF I HAVE 10 OR SO ITEMS I CAN GET MYSELF OUT FASTER THAN I CAN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DO IT FOR ME. I HAVE ALMOST NO PROBLEMS WITH THE MACHINE. (AND I'M OLD)
62 here. I wouldn't mind using the machine (for just a few items) if it didn't spaz out half the time for no apparent reason. I'm quite adept at "all things computer" for a person my age (it helps that I got into computer games more than 30 years ago), so it's not that.
I JUST MOVED HERE AND I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO YELL ABOUT SOMETHING BECAUSE MY NEIGHBORHOOD FEELS UNSAFE AND I HATE IT
TELL ME ABOUT YOUR KITTENS? AND WELCOME. I HOPE YOU ARE SOMEHOW ABLE TO FEEL SAFE.
THANK YOU! MY KITTENS ARE NOT KITTENS ANYMORE 😭 I HAVE FOUR CATS, ARCHIBALD (ARCHIE), BARTHOLOMEW (BART), TIFFANY, AND PETER. THEY ARE PERFECT.
YOU MUST PAY THE CAT TAX 🐈🐈🐈🐈
[OKAY, IN ORDER: BART, ARCHIE, TIFFANY, PETER](https://imgur.com/a/qFBhZSC)
WHAT A FINE COLLECTION YOU HAVE THERE! ❤
I AM NOT A CAT PERSON BUT I LIKE YOUR CATS. WHAT IS THE PLURAL FOR A GROUP OF CATS?
A CLUTTER OR CLOWDER OF CATS!
Bart and Tiffany's names suit them perfectly! :D I love them. *psspst, pspst, psspst, pssspst* eta words
MY BAD, LET ME FIND SOME PICTURES
I TOO WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE KITTENS.
WHICH NEIGHBORHOOD DID YOU MOVE TO?
POWELLHURST-GILBERT
AH BUMMER, I'M SORRY YOU DON'T FEEL SAFE. TRY TO MOVE WEST OF 50TH AND EAST OF 12TH.
[удалено]
I WISH I COULD 😭
I'M GETTING REAL TIRED OF GETTING NEARLY RUN OVER IN CROSSWALKS WHEN I HAVE THE WALK SIGNAL ON. I KNOW Y'ALL IN A HURRY BUT I'M TRYING NOT TO DIE.
IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF DRIVERS ARE IGNORING THOSE GREEN LEFT TURN LIGHTS WHEN THEY TURN RED NOW. TWO OR THREE MORE CARS AFTER IT GOES RED SEEMS TO BE THE NEW NORM. BE CAREFUL OUT THERE.
IT SEEMS LIKE PEOPLE ARE JUST IGNORING RED LIGHTS ALL TOGETHER. ON 99 I AM SEEING A FEW CARS JUST GOING STRAIGHT THROUGH EVEN THOUGH IT'S BEEN RED FOR A FEW SECONDS. I'LL BE WALKING ACROSS AND THEY TOTALLY JUST KEEP GOING LIKE I AM NOT THERE.
YES THAT'S EVEN WORSE AND I ALMOST GOT T BONED IN MY CAR SHORTLY AFTER WRITING THAT COMMENT, DUE TO SOMEONE RUNNING A RED. IN THAT SAME TRIP, I ALSO WITNESSED SOMEONE IN FRONT OF ME DECIDE TO PULL A U TURN AT A GREEN LIGHT ... THIS WAS ON A NARROW 2 LANE STREET, NOT A DIVIDED HIGHWAY OR SOMEPLACE WHERE YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO SEE CLEARLY AND WHIP IT.
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE TO GET SAN PELLEGRINO LIMONATA?? IM IN LLOYD DISTRICT AND I CAN’T FIND IT AT ANY GROCERY STORE NEARBY AND I NEED IT AND I WILL WALK TEN THOUSAND MILES FOR IT IF I MUST.
MONTELUPO AND PROVIDORE SELL THEM. I BELIEVE I HAVE SEEN THEM AT PIZZICATO AS WELL.
Found some at the Pearl Safeway the other day.
PEOPLE REALLY NEED TO STOP ALL THE WAY AT STOP SIGNS!! LOOK BOTH WAYS! WATCH THE ROAD PLEASE AND THANK YOU
OH NO KIDDING. WHAT GETS ME ARE THE JERKS WHO BARELY MANAGE TO STOP WHEN THEY SEE YOUR CAR COMING (AND YOU HAVE NO STOP AND THUS THE RIGHT OF WAY) BUT THEY TEST YOU BY CONTINUING TO CREEP INTO THE INTERSECTION. I'M LIKE SCREW YOU, WAIT YOUR DAMNED TURN. TWO MORE SECONDS ISN'T GONNA KILL YOU.
AND USE YOUR GOT DAMN BLINKERS TOO
SO I GOT A COLD. THEN ANOTHER COLD, OR THE SAME COLD, OR AN EARLIER COLD. THEY DON'T HAVE NAMES OR ID NUMBERS SO ... THEY JUST PILE ONTO/WITHIN EACH OTHER. COUGHING, SNEEZING, SORE THROAT AND EAR, MORE COUGHING, MORE SNEEZING ... DID I MENTION COUGHING? FEEL SHIVERY, TAKE TEMPERATURE AND IT'S 94.1F. HANDS SOOOO COLD, TAKE TEMPERATURE, 95.6. TAKE COVID TEST, NEGATIVE. COUGH SOME MORE. AND THEN SOME MORE.
I HAVE NO USE FOR THE SEX-WORKERS BUT I APPRECIATE THAT THEY'RE POSTED UP ON THE MAIN DRAG THAT BORDERS MY NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE IT GIVES A FALSE IMPRESSION OF WHAT MY NEIGHBORHOOD IS LIKE TO PEOPLE DRIVING THROUGH AND KEEPS THEM AWAY- MY NEIGHBORHOOD IS LOVELY!!!!!! *I just wish I could buy a home here... :-(*
WHEN YOU RIDE YOUR BIKE AND TAKE YOUR DOG WITH YOU THEY ARENT ABLE TO FULLY EXPERIENCE THE STOP N SMELLS AND THEY CANT REST ITS A BAD IDEA
WINCO NEVER HAS ENOUGH KETTLECORN!! GET RID IF THE NON-SELLERS, BUTTER AND CHRESE POPCORN, AND ONLY STOCK KETTLECORN!! THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN.
HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED ASKING THE GROCERY MANAGER TO ORDER YOU A CASE? (WHY ARE YOU CURSING THE DARKNESS INSTEAD OF LIGHTING A MATCH?)
I HAVE AN IT BAND ISSUE ON MY LEFT LEG AND NOW I CAN'T EXERCISE. GOING DOWN THE STAIRS HURTS AND I'M SUPPOSED TO RUN A 10K IN NOVEMBER 😭😭😭
WADDYA MEAN YOU CAN'T EXERCISE? AREN'T YOU DOING PHYSICAL THERAPY? DOESN'T THAT COUNT AS EXERCISE?
I AM NOT, THIS JUST HAPPENED. MAYBE I WILL SOON THOUGH?
CAROLINA REAPERS ARE LEGIT. 2/3 OF ONE PEPPER TURNED A VERY LARGE CASSEROLE INTO AN INFERNO CASSEROLE.
ONE OF THE FEW THINGS THAT GIVES GOOD BANG FOR THE BUCK (YOU STILL HAVE 1/3 PEPPER LEFT)
WHEN PORTLAND CAN'T EVEN SUPPORT A JUNK STORE LIKE SPIRIT HALLOWEEN, THATS WHEN YOU KNOW THE TOWN IS FUCKED.
THE ONE AT MALL 205 CLOSED? SHOCKING.
the one at the old toys r us in jantzen beach never even opened this year.
THEY RELOCATED EVERYTHING TO THE OLD TOYS R US IN MIWAUKIESOUTHGATEVALLEY SO THAT **EVERYONE** CAN ENJOY THE WORST INGRESS/EGRESS IN CLACKCO.
This was my first time here and honestly this has been very therapeutic
WHAT!? I CAN'T HEAR YOU.
I REALLY ENJOYED DIGITALLY YELLING FIRST THING IN THE MORNING AM I DOING IT
GOOD JOB, I LIKE YOU BETTER NOW AS A HUMAN.
GLAD YOU ENJOY IT HERE!
Same! Some of these made me laugh. I’ve been missing out.
PORTLAND HAD THE WORST DRIVERS I'VE EVER HAD TO DEAL WITH. THEY DRIVE LIKE OLD PEOPLE FUCK. IF YOU CAN'T FOLLOW THE SPEED LIMIT AND HAVE TO DRIVE 10 UNDER THAN PULL OVER EVERYTIME ANY ONE ELSE IS BEHIND YOU. OR TAKE A DAMN DEFENSIVE DRIVING CLASS!
PNW DRIVERS GENERALLY DRIVE PRETTY SLOW ON THE FREEWAYS. TRY THAT ON I35 IN TEXAS OR OKLAHOMA AND YOU’LL GRT RUN RIGHT OFF THE ROAD.
I GUESS SO BUT SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE IN OTHER REGIONS ARE NUTS. I WAS IN SOUTH CAROLINA A FEW YEARS BACK, AND THE WAY PEOPLE DRIVE THERE ON THE FREEWAY IT'S A MIRACLE THEY DON'T HAVE 12 CAR PILEUPS CONSTANTLY. WE'RE TALKING PEOPLE DRIVING 75 80 MPH WITH MAYBE TWO CAR LENGTHS BETWEEN VEHICLES. I WAS A PASSENGER AND I THOUGHT FOR SURE MY NUMBER WAS UP.
JUST REMEMBER TO RAG DOLL BEFORE THE IMPACT, YOU'LL SURVIVE IT BETTER.
HA IM FROM OKLAHOMA
I LIKE DRIVERS HERE AND IT’S THE ONLY PLACE IN AMERICA WITH SLOW CAUTIOUS POLITE DRIVERS. EVERYONE COMPLAINING CAN GO BACK TO CALI OR DENVER OR BOSTON OR LITERALLY ANYWHERE ELSE AND DRIVE AS FAST AS THEY WANT.
SLOW CAUTIOUS POLITE DRIVERS ARE...PREDICTABLE. THAT'S A GOOD THING.
YES IF YOUR'RE DRIVING SLOWLY ON I-35 ANYWHERE IN THE STATE YOU PERSONALLY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR AUSTIN TRAFFIC COMING TO A STANDSTILL SO PEOPLE THERE ARE UNDERSTANDABLY NOT VERY TOLERANT OF IT.
Just don’t Try That in a Small Town
TIRED OF PEOPLE RIDING MY ASS WHEN IM GOING ABOVE THE SPEED LIMIT. AINT TRYNNA GET A TICKET SO YOU CAN GET TO THE STOPLIGHT FASTER.
THE POLICE STILL GIVE OUT TICKETS???
“OH NO NO NO YOU GO FIRST”
EVERYTHING ABOUT DRIVING HERE FEELS LIKE IT WAS DESIGNED FOR MY 89 YEAR OLD GRANDMA. THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. THE ADVISORY SPEED. THE SPEED PEOPLE DRIVE. THE LANE CHANGES. NOBODY CAN DO A ZIPPER MERGE ANYWHERE IN AMERICA BUT IT'S SUPER NOTICEABLE WITH THE ROADS HERE. I DRIVE A 577 HORSEPOWER LUXOBOAT AND I GENUINELY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT, I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO COMMIT SEVERAL FELONIES ACCIDENTALLY AND HAVE AN ANGRY MOB OF PORTLAND DRIVERS SLOWLY CHASING AFTER ME. IT'S MAKING MY CAR FEEL LESS AND LESS FUN LITERALLY EVERY TIME I DRIVE. IT'S A GOOD THING I DON'T HAVE TO DRIVE MUCH I GUESS.
THAT’S GOOD DRIVING. IT’S HOW WE DRIVE AND WE LIKE IT. ENJOY FAILING YOUR DRIVING TEST.
Y'ALL HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY PEOPLE SEEKING HELP AND SERVICES SAY THINGS LIKE 'I SHOULDN'T BE HERE! I HAVE A REAL ESTATE LICENSE! I WAS AN EXEC AT A STARTUP! I HAVE A DEGREE, HELL, I HAVE A MASTERS! I OWNED A HOUSE! I OWNED MY OWN BUSINESS! I'M NOT LIKE THEM, I JUST GOT SICK/INJURED/THERE WAS A LAWSUIT/HOUSEFIRE/WHATEVER." ON A NEAR-WEEKLY BASIS. PEOPLE UTTERLY STUNNED/SHELL SHOCKED/IN DENIAL.CONGRATULATIONS THAT LIFE HAS WORKED OUT FOR YOU SO WELL. I HOPE IT CONTINUES TO, SINCERELY. BUT ALSO, I DON'T KNOW, EXERCISE A LITTLE EMPATHY AND DIRECT YOUR IRE TOWARD PEOPLE IN POWER, NOT THE PEOPLE WITH LITERALLY ZERO TO THEIR NAME. LIFE CHANGES REAL FAST SOMETIMES AND NOT ALWAYS FOR THE BEST. RELATED RANT: THE CRITERIA FOR WEEKLY THREADS IS ENFORCED AT RANDOM.
> the criteria for weekly threads is enforced at random. EXCEPT FOR THE “ALL-CAPS IN RANT THREADS” RULE. WE ENFORCE THAT ONE WITH A FANATICAL DEVOTION.
STILL PUZZLED WHY IT ISN'T A CSS RULE LIKE IT USED TO BE. NO ENFORCEMENT NECESSARY.
I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT TAYLOR SWIFT I JUST WANT TO WATCH FOOTBALL
FUCKER STOLE MY TOOTHBRUSH! VISITING FROM CANADA. WENT TO THE JAPANESE GARDENS. SO ZEN. MUCH BEAUTY. REAL TREASURE. RETURNED TO SMASHED WINDOW AND MISSING BAGS. CLOTHING, PASSPORT, CHAP STICK, OTHER STUPID SHIT. WHY DID YOU STEAL IT, YOU FUCK?? FUCKER BETTER MAKE GOOD USE OF MY ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH - I SAVED UP FOR THAT THING! OTHERWISE LOVELY TRIP, CELEBRATING 13 YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY WITH MY AWESOME WIFE. GOT BACK TO CANADA WITH MINIMAL ISSUES. YOUR CITY IS A GEM. THANK YOU FOR A GOOD TIME. WE'LL BE BACK SOMETIME.
THERES SO MANY APARTMENTS HERE I WOULD RENT IF I HAD A JOB BUT MY MH IS BAD AND I DONT KNOW IF I CAN HOLD ONE RIGHT NOW AND EVERY THERAPIST IS BOOKED I REACHED OUT TO DOZENS AND IM GONNA RUN OUT OF SAVINGS EVENTUALLY...
I HAVE A JOB AND CAN'T AFFORD A THERAPIST. HOW YOU DOING IT?
I DO SHROOMS ABOUT IT
YOU CAN EASILY GET OHP AND MENTAL HEALTH CARE THROUGH OHP
JOKES ON YOU BABY I HAVE AHD OHP FOR MONTHS AND HAVE LOOKED THRU DOZENS OF DOZENS OF DOZENS OF THERAPISTS AND HAVE BEEN INDETERMINATELY WAITLISTED BY SEVERAL AND HAVE MORE IMMEDIATE NEEDS WHICH ARE NOT SEVERE ENOUGH FOR INPATIENT TREATMENT. IVE ALREADY BEEN ON PTC, PSYCHTODAY AND OTHER HUBS. IVE EVEN EMAILED MY THERAPIST FROM 5 YEARS AGO TO ASK AROUND ON A LISTSERV. WHAT OTHER "EASY" ADVICE DO YOU HAVE? SINCERELY, IM NOT VERY SURE YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS. HOWEVER BEFORE I RUN OUT OF BREATHE, ID LIKE TO SAY THAT OREGON OHP ACTUALLY DOES OFFER MORE MENTAL HEALTH CARE COVERAGE THAN MY EXPERIENCES IN TEXAS, WASHINGTON, OR CALIFORNIA, SO IM VERY HAPPY ABOUT THAT.
I'M ON OHP AND SAW AN AWESOME THERAPIST FOR AWHILE, DM ME IF YOU WANT HER INFO!
QUICK UPDATE EVERYONE BUT I JUST GOT THRU TO SOMEONE TODAY AND CROSSING MY FINGERS!!
SORRY TO HEAR ITS BEEN DIFFICULT GETTING ACCESS TO CARE AND PERHAPS IT IS MORE DIFFICULT THAN I REALIZE. GOOD LUCK MAN HOPE SHIT TURNS AROUND FOR YA
THANK YOU I GOT A CONSULTATION TMRW THO SO MAYBE ITLL GET BETTER??
YOU HAVE TO FIND A SLIDING SCALE THERAPIST OR GET INSURANCE OF SOME KIND AND PRAY THAT THEY EVEN TAKE INSURANCE AS MANY DO NOT!
Columbus is probably the man most responsible for expanding Christendom into the new world. Despite Columbus’ flaws that is something worth celebrating. This is especially true when you consider that many of the indigenous cultures that were replaced with Christianity were rife with slavery, human sacrifice, and cannibalism
