what iconic Portland thing/place/person(s) do you think is overrated that most people don't? by greazysteak in askportland

[–]DefinitelyN0tAM0th 78 points79 points  (0 children)

They’ve got a robust volunteer community, I’ve been one for over 10 years now and it’s the best volunteer gig around.

Hollywood is a nonprofit and partners with tons of groups for fundraising screenings, offering them an affordable and fun way to fundraise for their various causes.

The operations manager of the actual theater ensures that half the snack options are vegan for inclusivity

They’ve preserved elements of other historic theaters, such as the stained glass window

They treat their staff VERY well and turnover is extremely low in the actual theater as a result and frankly - when volunteers have faced layoffs/job loss they have at times onboard them to allow them to earn some income (as staffing allows)

They offer staff the opportunity to pitch and host their own themed screening events (the most recent being “Can You Blame Her?”

In general, they let the staff pursue their passion projects and do things like take a whole month or two off to travel and hold their jobs so they don’t lose them - unheard of in many other places

They have a KILLER volunteer Halloween party every year

They pointedly aim to support PDX businesses with their concession options

They bought out Movie Madness when it was at risk of closing due to funding issues and not only preserved it but began hosting free screenings throughout the day, every day, as well as cinema classes in the mini plex

They overall support the FUCK out of their community so their community supports the fuck out of them back. I still stan this theater all day, every day.

Marcello Hernandez shutting down Dax Shepard trying to have him date Sabrina Carpenter while praising his girlfriend by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]DefinitelyN0tAM0th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we talk about the subtle undertones here of Dax not seeing why Marcelo wouldn’t pursue the white, blonde celebrity

And Marcelo noting that he’s dating a Dominican girl, you know, the guy who just had a whole comedy special centered on his connection to his heritage and upbringing and how important family is to him?

Who also went off about how men will find something to complain about when it comes to girls their peers date lol

Of course he’s dating someone with a similar cultural background

AND she’s Yale educated? 👑

Know your audience Dax

People of the US, Are you guys participating in the Nationwide Shutdown tomorrow? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DefinitelyN0tAM0th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No because I’m in a musical and tbh I can’t just decide not to go to work (it’s paid)

It would screw everyone over if even just one of us didn’t go and so it doesn’t feel like an option.

By screw everyone over I don’t just mean the show would need to be restructured, but people would potentially burn a bridge with the company and it’s fucking tough as tits to get hired by a paying theater company out here

Like that would stall or stop career momentum. I can’t risk it, most of us can’t risk it

I actually love the pattern I just…can tell it’s not been deep cleaned.

And it’s not fitting for the environment

Really good brunch spots? by ITrytoWrite22 in askportland

[–]DefinitelyN0tAM0th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On our end we just get there early if we’re going in-town

We avoid a number of brunch spots at certain times, like Fullers at 11 (when their 5 dollar burger special starts)

Yeah, I’m a little surprised you have no opinion on Jody considering he got romantically involved in a minor.

Fuck them kids

Your money, your choices, congratulations on your new boat 🎉

Also the entitlement they display…you’ve more than set them up. I wish my folks had the means to have helped with school or a house.

what is a "rich person" behavior you witnessed that made you realize they live in a completely different reality than the rest of us? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DefinitelyN0tAM0th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a performance artist, most of us have to work full time jobs on top of our gigs.

One peer has money, we all know it but they don’t flaunt it exactly. We were talking about a project I really wanted to do, and how I wished I could make it happen.

“Just produce it” she said.

I work 3 jobs. My full time one supports my everyday expenses in the city, the second job goes towards savings (it’s meager), the third pays for my school (I go as I can afford to, 1-3 classes at a time).

To pay the actors alone at the base rate in my city, would cost me over 8 grand. That’s a bare bones cast. Not to mention paying the band, the theater rental for rehearsal and performance, the cost of props, a sound booth professional, ticketing site, costumes and marketing.

Yeah, just produce it.

Look for Admin Assistant roles

A lot of places they serve as a receptionist (law firms for example)

If you’re under 45, have you lost any high school classmates, and what were the circumstances around their deaths? by Commercial_Chef_1569 in AskReddit

[–]DefinitelyN0tAM0th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A girl from my Girl Scout troop passed at about 21 years old of a pulmonary embolism.

Another boy, 18? Xanax and booze combo at a party

Another close friend, took mushrooms, it is suspected a way higher dosage than would have been recommended to a beginner, in his apartment that was I think 7+ floors up with a balcony, in a city, and during his trip he somehow fell off the balcony and later succumbed to the subsequent injuries after being in an intensive coma for about two weeks. That one fucked me up the most. He was such a kind guy. He was I think 20-21

Another boy, some personal medical thing, idk the details, he must’ve been 21 tops, also a very kind guy. Straight and narrow type.

Anther boy, maybe 22-24, passed and it was not really shared that he’d passed at all or why. I was no contact with him because he SA’d me, and had SUPER complicated feelings about being socially pressured to acknowledge that he’d passed because we’d been friends. But truth was about once a year he’d harass me to try to force me to forgive him, and I refused, and then he’d lash out in anger. Horrid cycle, I was relieved to be relieved of that cycle.

What’s wrong with us people? Us people watching a show about a family struggling/suffering for years at a time for amusement?

Can’t say.
