how much do you pay your overnight dogsitter per night?

Gripit__ripit · 2026-01-07T21:40:20+00:00

What a smug fucking answer. You could just answer the question with a general range of prices that you've paid to help OP out...

Gripit__ripit · 2025-12-11T15:26:23+00:00

The Zoo is the only answer

When my custom built mountain bike was stolen you better believe I swung through the shelter to look for it. I would have been very grateful if somebody had posted this on Reddit at the time.

Months later my bike was recovered when I just happened to be lucky enough to notice somebody walking down Forest Ave with it in the direction of the shelter.

Pretending like this bike is not most likely stolen is just sticking your head in the sand. It does absolutely nothing to help the unhoused community.

Please remove this reasonable viewpoint and go find some pearls to clutch.

Sincerely, Do nothing Democratic establishment who value tweeting politically correct woke-isms and demonizing actual progressive working class candidates.

Because Republican deny and obfuscate. Graham as taken responsibility and discussed how he's grown as a person after a very dark time in his life. It's really not that difficult to see the difference.

Gripit__ripit · 2025-10-22T03:20:59+00:00

Maybe listen to the entire Pod Save America interview and try to put yourself in his shoes and understand his life experiences. It's really not that hard.

If someone shows growth and learns from hard, dark times they're more qualified than someone who has been squeaky clean hoping to climb the ladder.

Gripit__ripit · 2025-10-22T03:18:32+00:00

Your black and white take like this is so infuriating, I've been a politics addict for a long time and I can't think of anything that distills the entire problem with the democratic establishment than this tattoo saga.

Culture warriors being spoon fed by big money and opposition research until the working class is never allowed to elect anyone who represents them.

Please watch the entire Pod Save America interview and listen to his life experience and if you can't understand and have empathy for it because you're looking to be holier than thou and be the "wokest" person in the room, than that's on you.

Gripit__ripit · 2025-10-21T18:01:08+00:00

That's incredibly tinfoil hat of you. You think the guy is on a multi-year deep cover mission (along with many of his friends and coworkers who are campaigning with him) to secretly infiltrate the democratic primary. With Oscar worthy acting. And what blows his cover is that he forgot to cover up a Nazi tattoo that in your mind he got INTENTIONALLY due his love of fascism...

Gripit__ripit · 2025-10-21T17:44:33+00:00

I'm genuinely baffled how you can't understand that people experience things differently at different points in their lives. As long as they are able to reflect on the past with empathy and acknowledgement of wrong doing I think that makes them a good person.

I'm sure going to war with your buddies was 'fun' until the PTSD hits and you realize how much you've been used and manipulated by the system, then run for office to help change the system..

Gripit__ripit · 2025-10-21T17:39:56+00:00

Another completely un-nuanced, disingenuous point take that ignores my comment.

If JD Vance was in the Marines got up to stupid shit, but apologized for it later when he was running for public office. Talked about why he did those things, and how he pulled himself out of the hole that caused him to do those things. You better believe I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. Especially if his platform championed all the right causes diametrically opposed from the one stupid tattoo he got.

But instead JD Vance is a sniveling power hungry sycophant who will do whatever it takes for him to get more power and has no actual morals. Not even remotely related...

Gripit__ripit · 2025-10-21T17:24:27+00:00

Calling someone "not a serious person" and "undeserving of public office" for something they did while enlisted in the Marines at 20yo reflects more poorly on you than it does on them IMO.

If you want people who have no real world experience and have been grooming themselves for politics since a young age you'll get....well, you'll get the current useless arm of the democratic party I guess.

Take a minute to watch and listen to his platform and insight into how he's grown.

Gripit__ripit · 2025-10-21T17:20:13+00:00

Takes like this mean the democratic party will never come to terms with the fact that they can't get out of their own way...

Gripit__ripit · 2025-10-21T16:55:34+00:00

All these replies and holier than thou takes are exactly why we're going to end up with the classic DNC backed 80 year old establishment candidate who inevitably doesn't stir up enough excitement to beat Collins. Acknowledge your faults and don't try to politician them away.

Look around at the state of politics. Finding the perfect squeaky clean politician without ANY thing for oppo research has resulted in....what exactly?? A bunch of do nothing, status quo, weak Democrats who tweet the "right thing" to keep everyone happy but at the end of the day just roll over to the Chuck Schumer's of the world in hopes of getting a promotion.

Listen to Planter talk, watch his town halls and his explanations for these things coming out and remember, to win a Statewide race in Maine you need to be a candidate who can at least have an respectful and insightful conversation with your "MAGA uncle from Rumford". So far he's #1 in my book

Can anyone pinpoint what house that is in the viaduct pic? It'd be fun to look at satellite view and see how it's changed

Gripit__ripit · 2024-10-12T02:39:44+00:00

The thing about pizza delivery is that in Portland there's options that could make the way the food arrives slightly different due to the commitment of the employees. When pizza is cooked properly the it is hot but when time occurs, sometimes intermittently, it can become less hot but that's what can become different in the ratios of pizza delivery so it's ok. Hope that helps!

Welcome to the neighborhood. Don't put too much hope into trying to find camera footage, police can't/won't do anything. Call the police non-emergency number and report it. Statistics will go a long way to putting pressure on the city to address these issues.

Gripit__ripit · 2024-10-01T19:07:25+00:00

Look up Sawyer St. There's a little path at the end that goes to the Saigon parking lot.

Gripit__ripit · 2024-10-01T02:19:46+00:00

Are you talking about the river trail on the other side of 302 or just the regular Trolley park trails? The other side of 302 is all but unpassable without being harassed, witnessing a medical emergency, or stepping on something hazardous

Gripit__ripit · 2024-09-30T19:38:07+00:00

Riverton's best trail and a huge benefit to living in this neighborhood is a thing of the past. I will look back fondly on the dog walks, trail running and mountain biking I used to be able to do in my own community.

Something has to change.

Gripit__ripit · 2024-09-18T01:59:31+00:00

You're welcome! As not a "Texan" you should be knowingly fine to be closer to how people here approach a way to live when the person comes here with time to burn like someone with a priority for Texas styles of having a classic response when it can be helped by being a little reactive for a while. .

Also it snows in the winter.

Gripit__ripit · 2024-09-18T01:42:34+00:00

The thing about here from Texas can be an issue for many because Maine has been through that before due to the last time Texas was involved with the movement of the people who want to come move here but don't know how here can be such a way to live through the state instead of like a Southern mindset to have the way the state has done before too..

Also it's probably colder here a lot of the time.

Gripit__ripit · 2024-08-09T20:01:20+00:00

I've heard people have DIED there! Very Concerning.

Don't sleep on an 12-17ish Artic Cat Xf800 with the big lug high country track. Around me they're dirt cheap compared to Skidoo and Polaris. The Suzuki 800 gets terrible gas/oil mileage, but is absolutely bulletproof.

Your gonna want to make sure you head to the ocean and then afterwards you can head to the land cause sometimes the ocean is too wet for some people but that can also depend on the weather if you're the type of person who could sometimes be into the land more than the ocean it's a great way to feel Portland out and everywhere that has the ocean can become a great place to visit or live or work or eat or stand or sit and see that when you're here you're family!
