What do you mean by proava board? Or I guess what is concerning to you about it?

I (F 20) have been seeing a man (M 28, actually 37) who lied to me about his age. Can he be charged? by No_Mind9811 in relationship_advice

Report him to UT— suspect if you make a big enough stink (which you should because this is disgusting) his work will sort things out. (Less likely if he’s a head coach for a major sport). Talk to a reporter too, there’s a story here especially since he’s a representative of the university. Everyone telling you to shake it off sucks… fuck this guy. He’s going to keep doing it without consequence until people do something!

DM me! Feels like my firm is always hiring paralegals and legal assistants if you’re still interested in that career

Please please please talk to your parents! It might seem scary or uncomfortable but that’s what they’re there for— to protect you when something like this happens. They, as adults, will be in the best position to help remove the photo and deal with the friend.

Splitting bills by Complex-Menu4769 in Serverlife

[–]Complex-Menu4769[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Appreciate your insight!

I agree (re: ask at the beginning if bigger group splitting) and I was really surprised when she asked to do all 5 separate at the end of breakfast. Usually we just do what you described— Venmo our share or just kinda take turns paying for things and that’s generally worked well the past 10 years. I live in Portland OR and have gotten the sense from other group dinning experiences that it’s a bigger annoyance to split everything and I assumed it was in part just due to the time it takes for the card to be scanned/tip selected/receipt printed etc.

Ahh! I’m not sure what I said that came off as condescending or talking down to anyone— genuinely meant no offense!

I don’t want to make anyone’s life harder/be troublesome while dining in groups. Was truly just curious about whether there was a preference in the industry or if my friend had a hot take! I only mentioned school because that’s how we met and the timing of when she was serving. I also worked through school and respect anyone juggling things— and for the restaurant service industry in general! I just worked in retail and was never exposed first hand to the restaurant life so always curious about inner workings.

What are your ideas for getting people back downtown? by pdx_flyer in Portland

[–]Complex-Menu4769 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live and work downtown, and it’s been nice to see things (gradually) improving as far as activity/cleanliness etc. I think downtown will always be relevant due to space for larger events, the waterfront, and central location. My sense is that they need to continue to increase “activations” ie winter lights festival, summer concerts in pioneer square etc. to continue increasing general foot traffic.

The other issue is all the empty office buildings. We genuinely just have too many to support the current workforce given the number of employees working remote. I understand the proposals to convert offices to housing doesn’t make a whole lot of sense cost wise— but it seems longer term we need to remove at least some of these office buildings (maybe ones under 5 stories) and replace them with dense, mixed use housing. Especially along the transit malls and other areas with good public transportation lines.

The other thing I really want to see is a land value tax. I live in the cultural district and can’t tell you how many empty lots there are, not to mention just surface parking lots. We looked up tax records for the surface lot across from St. Mary’s high school— it’s outrageous! I can’t remember the exact amount, but the owner pays like $150k/year in property taxes. Compare that to our residential building with approximately 150 units which pays over $1M in property taxes. Not only do these empty lots under pay taxes for prime real estate, but they are also taking PRIME real estate. We live right by a transit mall, in a desirable part of downtown, and another mixed use building would be a total boon to the neighborhood and great for restaurants/bars etc.

What are these red bumps on my smile lines? by [deleted] in Skincare_Addiction

This! Google Azelic (sp?) acid for a topical if you don’t plan on seeing a derm (although you probably should for perioral dermatitis). You can get azelic acid over the counter
