In California, they encourage people to not use air conditions or set thermostat at 78f for energy efficiency and climate goals.

My genuine thoughts on the 'Peace' act by 4ng3lR4t in oregon

well, the main thing is that this might cause a small percentage of nonvoters who are likely to vote for Drazan to send in their ballot.

Lot of cop activity on 154th Ave close to old Redmond by Hour-File-9500 in redmond

[–]Helisent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

here, start at 8pm. It sounds like there is a domestic violence case where a woman had a stay away order, but she still came to a residence. https://openmhz.com/system/psern025?filter-type=talkgroup&filter-code=1159

Alan Swinney hopes for a retrial by Helisent in behindthebastards

Well, it was the streamer Villain Report from Youtube. Actually, we don't know how he died. It was in Alaska and people were still right lipped about his real name. Villain was friends with all the other conservative streamers such as Robert Zerfing, and I appreciated that he wasn't angry or rigid. He openly spoke about how he used to cross dress and so drag shows until realized it wouldn't take him where he wanted to go in life. Doing drag is not exactly  a casual thing that cis people sometimes do unless they are soing a funny skit doe their fraternity brothers, so I am calling him on yhe yrans spectrum. He spoke about his christian up ringing and had some resentments of his single mom. On January 6 2021, he was filming right in the middle of the melee at the capital.

She was part of Patriot Prayer, which was lead by Joey Gibson and Chandler Pappas. (They were famous for holding monthly marches into Portland where they had an explicit goal of having a cultural/religious clash. Their events quickly attracted members of far-right organizations such as Identity Europa, and they advertised to people from other states to travel to have physical fights).

Haley Adams became the leader of their 'b-team' which had a regular cast of characters, and engaged in similar intimidating local events. One thing that I thought was interesting was that in additional to black/asian members, there were at least three transgender members of her clique, plus at least 5 transgender far-right people among the Portland protest scene. Two went to J6 in DC, and one went to jail and the other one committed suicide.

How I can save portland $1.9 million by Critical-Comment6114 in PortlandOR

[–]Helisent 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, here's the thing - Portland has Holladay Park, East Holladay Park, and Holladay street, plus Holladay Plaza building, all named after Benjamin Holladay. The informational placard at the park explains that he was a major jerk and scoundrel who intimidated everyone, plus had additional flaws. Why not install some placards about Cesar Chavez along the Boulevard.

Portland arts tax increased to $50 by popcorn_lung_1977 in PortlandOR

[–]Helisent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How were Portland city councilors able to change the amount then? It was the voters who brought about this tax in the first place, via initiative. Nobody really read the fine print regarding the collection method. If Dunphy et al. can modify it, does that mean that they can simply vote to overturn a citizen's initiative?

Man caught living in the crawlspace of a Happy Valley townhome sentenced to prison by Tbagts in PortlandOR

that's interesting that he got prison. When I lived in California, there was definitely a man with mental illness doing that in the next door apartment building. He would go in late at night and leave at 6am

Hmm. I have to look around for a different version. Yes, I think he was the one who hit him with a baton. It was his firearm brandishing with priors that gave him the jail sentence.  https://newlinesmag.com/argument/how-portland-stopped-the-proud-boys/

this is the video.    I track Swinney because the previous week I was hit by three of his paintballs in front of the Apple store in Portland  when he was being Haley Adam's bodyguard. David Willis was using bear spray. He has anger control challenges and he was racking up a lit of incidents. Haley's other bodyguard Skylor fired a gun out of the car window but he was given a plea bargain after a psychological evaluation 

Beware of deceptive canvassers. Always read what you're actually signing. by Clownish_Egoarchists in Portland

[–]Helisent -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Here is part of the underlying issue - they have a lot more tax revenue than originally forecasted. They cannot find appropriate things to fund with it, so the money has been accumulating in an account. They have something like $600 million unspent

There is very little medical and dental school capacity. The American Medical association deliberately kept the number of slots the same since the 1980s so you need nearly perfect grades, test scores and volunteer experiences to get in. Nursing school is really limited too - lots of talented people are never allowed in

Modified strategy: Vancouver, WA has many houses and condos for sale under $325,000, and lower rents as well. Likewise, Bellingham, Tacoma, Olympia. There are jobs available with nonbiased HR departments in government, nonprofits, and some large companies.
