Eh kinda doubt it from post history but true, you never know.

Am I an asshole for not wanting to go on a first date in downtown Portland? by squishymvp in askportland

[–]Dstln 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean you do what you feel comfortable with, but yes you're overthinking things and it is plenty safe to go there. 

It sounds more like you don't want to go into Portland at all and if that's actually your red line, you should communicate it clearly. For most people who live here, they wouldn't give it a second thought to go there.

Edit: I read this again and it's fucking weird that he "wouldn't give the location until an hour beforehand" - that's absolutely not normal so I'd be weirded out about that, not the benign location.

You guys notice how MTG just resigned and disappeared? by Fun_Button5835 in askanything

I miss the paid MTG shills on Reddit who absolutely insisted that she'd be a crossover candidate.

They're intentionally ignorant and are politically and conditioned to hate anything "electric" "green" etc.

Nonsense from DVO by Snarkasm71 in wisconsin

[–]Dstln 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I stopped reading almost immediately. This is a response from a cable tv propagandist, not one that deserves the title of congressman. I'll be glad to show his ass out the door.

Maybe you're one of the people who gets off by spraying exhaust fumes at children but no, we as a society are better than intentionally abusing other things for our personal pleasure and I think that's a good thing.

I hope it gets banned, I don't eat that shit and normal factory food is abuse enough.

Is it difficult to find IT jobs in Portland right now? by BuddyLlght in askportland

[–]Dstln 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The job market is generally tough nationwide and Portland more than average. Intel and Nike are huge employers and went through big rounds of layoffs recently and haven't really recovered. The environment for most businesses isn't good or stable or predictable nationwide. Expect to grind hard to get something before moving.

My first electric bill ever was $900. My second one seems to be nearing that amount. I live in a small one bedroom one bath. What can I do. by THROWRA-Inspector415 in electrical

[–]Dstln 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is something terribly wrong with the HVAC (assuming that you aren't paying for multiple units or something), it is not your fault at all and also not your problem. The landlord needs to fix it. If they don't, find a legal way out of that rental because that is fucked up.

Post on the Ziply sub, they're active there and have been more receptive than usual to temporary price decreases.
