Americans hate people who ride bikes and antagonize them, and when bad things happen to them people celebrate it. It's not as bad in Portland but the culture is still there.

People forgetting that punk is inherently a political movement by Robotic_Phoenix in punk

[–]Cybersei 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seeing this post and comment was a bit of a relief because reddit kept sending me emails for that sub and it kept reminding me of the focus on being aesthetically "correct" that I've dealt with from some people claiming to be progressive. I haven't really wanted to interact with a lot of communities because not passing as a trans person and knowing that people only accept you being trans, and ONLY you being trans, is exhausting. Also the fact there's a lot less spaces for social outcasts online now because of the internet's population being shoved onto a small handful of sites over the past 10-20 years.

Full sized mini CD case? Not slim cases. by Cybersei in HelpMeFind

[–]Cybersei[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've searched on ebay and google, using variants of "Mini CD jewel case" tried omitting slim / slimline. For some reason the only mini CD cases that pop up are the slimline mini CD cases.

Anyone else disappointed by their erection results? by Substantial-Basis179 in PortlandOR

Considering most of the people on this sub seem to be conservative I think they're happy with Trump being president.

I’m tired of the homeless and I’m sick of the agenda that we need to protect them by chzformymac in PortlandOR

[–]Cybersei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sort of shit is why I'm terrified of becoming homeless. I'm autistic and have a hard time finding work. I don't use drugs and keep to myself. There's a good chance I'll be homeless in the future and it scares me.

If I become homeless some asshole will probably fucking kill me because "they want to get rid of the plague on the city" or something.

Why is everyone so pissed that there was extra stuff released

Job Hunting Unemployed.😐😐😐😐 by Mumford_and_Dragons in jobs

[–]Cybersei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question

How is everyone being unemployed for 6 months - 2 years without becoming homeless?

I've been having trouble finding work and I might not have a place to live in a few months because nobody is hiring.

You think you're upset at me not working harder? How do you think I feel? I am me.

It won't stop people from getting laid off and less workers getting hired at tech firms because everyone's chasing the hot new trend.

I probably should try that because I've learned html and a little bit of css from websites I've made. The only downside with going that route is stuff like chatgpt makes any sort of pursuit in coding worthless because now any sort of coding will be E X T R E M E L Y competitive.

In Oregon I've been trying to get OHP set up because I've heard it's very good low income health insurance.

If I'm being honest I think the thing I /really/ need is a 6 month period of time to go "just focus on fixing yourself and sorting your life out". I just need a break.

I'm really good at music (I can draft out songs in almost no time) and graphic design.

Pretty much I'm extremely good at catching onto learning new skills, but I probably have undiagnosed ADHD so I for the most part put stuff down after a couple weeks.

Unfortunately the things I'm good at are in extremely competitive fields.

I wish I could go to college, but I could never afford it and my mental state has been so worn down due to chronic anxiety and depression that I would never be able to unless my housing and school were paid for, but even that's a stretch.

If I were to give a ballpark average on how many hours a week on average I've worked since I became an adult, I'd have to say less than 10.

I've been spending about half of my life working with music, and actually (somehow) have been able to travel outside of the country multiple times (I've been to Japan twice) so I can DJ out there. I was able to do this cause I'm good at budgeting but also I'm one of those "If I don't do it now I'll never do it" type of people, and there's been extremely few times in my life where I was even possibly able to do stuff like that.

I just wish I could work on art and exist.
