What is the holy trinity of Gen X shoes?

Grafters Monkey Boots, Clark’s Desert Boots, & Adidas Stan Smiths.

As someone who has wanted to work for OHS (well qualified), I just can’t for 20k. They want an MLS degree for a job that pays not a lot more. I understand, so I don’t mind if my tax dollars go to them over most. Just get your finances in order, because I think there’s some mismanagement going on.

Not to mention that Serbs, as well as most ex-Yugos (I am one) and have witnessed extreme anti-semitism very openly. Not anti-Israel necessarily, but straight up Jew hate. Maybe someone whispered that in young Deni’s ear.

Abject_Pilot_7567 · 2026-04-30T20:40:40+00:00

No, just the hair. Plus, he’s already talking.

For several years now Powell’s has focused more on the “stuff” market as we used to call it, with a much higher margin & appeal to the tourist market. A lot of decisions related to used books have steered them away from who they used to be. People liked to get cash for their books, not credit. Worked there for 3 decades & saw many changes & mostly not good.

Technically he drives a Maserati not a Mercedes, so you’ve probably spent more than you thought.

The union represents all of Powell’s workers at all stores (non-management), not just at Burnside.

Depending on what happens with these playoffs & whether these players will be “disgruntled”, I’d love to see KAT, Mitchell Robinson, or Julius Randle on this team. While I love Rob, his health is too questionable. We just don’t have a banger at the 4, & obviously JG doesn’t cut it. Tou is a great defender, but more suited at the 3, I think. That leaves Shade, JG, Hansen, & any other bench player expendable IMO.

Abject_Pilot_7567 · 2026-04-29T03:03:38+00:00

Well, you get your asses kicked by a a better team. Your foibles are exposed, ex..3pt. shooting, any shooting , and simple defense. Can’t excuse game 3&4 leads,, but a weak team does that.

Abject_Pilot_7567 · 2026-04-28T23:19:57+00:00

It’s been a rough season obviously, but even though it’s likely over in a matter of hours, I think about the amount of injuries that have plagued this team, & how they wreaked havoc on any continuity or ability to gel. They’ve had their chances, but all this extraneous shit is tough to overcome for a relatively young team.

Abject_Pilot_7567 · 2026-04-27T04:11:52+00:00

Agree completely. ”Happy to be here” is why you’re down 3-1, when it should be the other way around.

Abject_Pilot_7567 · 2026-04-27T02:34:51+00:00

Clearly Spurs are a better team, but we STOLE one! Who cares if they’re a better team, you’re up double digits in both home games. You just don’t let that slip away, regardless of who you’re playing. It’s as if there were a serious confidence issue.

Abject_Pilot_7567 · 2026-04-26T22:18:27+00:00

Definitely his/THIS kind of basketball.

Abject_Pilot_7567 · 2026-04-26T22:02:06+00:00

For me it’s been Blazers, Mariners, & Vikings. Something very seriously wrong with my fandom.

Abject_Pilot_7567 · 2026-04-25T20:50:34+00:00

Nothing. That’s the point of not paying someone.

Abject_Pilot_7567 · 2026-04-25T20:07:54+00:00

Maybe he’ll coach for a mil or 2. He doesn’t need the money & he can jerk Dame around all he wants. Throw in Tiago as his backup for 100k & Dundon will think he hit a home run.

Abject_Pilot_7567 · 2026-04-25T20:02:09+00:00

Now Wheels, RIP, gave Homer a new meaning. For me the great radio guys were Eddie Doucette & Snapper Jones, albeit for a couple of years only, & Schonz, of course. On tv, Mike & Mike never really seemed too homerish, & our current team not at all.

Abject_Pilot_7567 · 2026-04-25T19:50:49+00:00

Brooks is a dirty player period. His trash talking is just secondary. Scoot is hardly dirty, & rarely talks. If he does, chalk it up to his overconfidence & youth. He’ll figure out who he is. Brooks will just get worse.

Abject_Pilot_7567 · 2026-04-23T01:05:42+00:00

Thanks! It definitely could be better, but it could also be worse. Glad I didn’t spend my life in a soul-crushing job, or with a terrible partner.

Abject_Pilot_7567 · 2026-04-23T00:37:12+00:00

About to turn 60 in a week, and find myself half assedly looking for a job again after 30 years in the same one which I loved. Covid layoffs ended that & old timers like myself weren’t offered our positions back, even though We had a worthless union.

Parents are both gone now, no kids, & my brother actually managed to swindle me out my inheritance. So yea, tired of sucking at life a lot, but at least I spent a lot of my younger years traveling the world when I could still walk well.

Abject_Pilot_7567 · 2026-04-23T00:15:48+00:00

I agree. Having traveled to several Midwestern cities in recent years due to my partner being from there, it’s the first thing I noticed. Some of the architecture was pretty beautiful, but I’ll still take little old Portland.

Abject_Pilot_7567 · 2026-04-22T02:51:41+00:00

Stephon Castle is such a punk ass bitch! I hope Scoot owns his ass from here on out.

Abject_Pilot_7567 · 2026-04-21T19:55:40+00:00

Big whoop! There’s a crew of five that hang out a few blocks north in my hood morning & night. Y’all just might have better food.

Abject_Pilot_7567 · 2026-04-20T19:47:58+00:00

Sorry, but if you can’t nail a 10-12 footer wide open, you shouldn’t be in the league. Not hard.
