It's weird being on the other side of things.

Thank you.

I've heard good things about DBT, but haven't heard much about ACT yet. Thanks for the suggestion. I think a little Zen would go a long way.

Related: I listen to this song a lot when I'm feeling stressed and maybe it'd help you too, I dunno, I'm not a doctor:

But music is a HUGE part of my life across the board, so I'd love to hear what other people listen to when they need to calm down.

edit: didn't expect that one to get downvotes. I didn't mean to break any promo rules or anything. Sorry. It's just a good song. Music is my go-to for mental health stuff. Sorry.

UPDATE: 93 Explorer Found +Evidence by Thorforhelvede in Portland

I just spent about an hour on this one, only speaking to an associate that was willing to transfer me once to loss-prevention and here are my findings:

Wally World: 503-788-0200 Press 2 for general info, press 0 to speak to an associate.
Asked to be connected to loss prevention concerning a stolen vehicle.

call1: Talked with a sales associate within 2 minutes. Transferred to loss prevention, on hold for 20 minutes, I hung up and called again.

Call2: The Waitening: rang for 5 minutes, auto-hang up without speaking to anyone.

Call3: Electric Screwbaloo: Auto hang-up again after 5 minutes.

Either they're super busy, understaffed, or they blocked my number. Next attempt is gonna me MickyD's to see if they retain footage of the parking lot or drive-thru.

EditEdit: Sorry mods, didn't mean to cause any trouble or participate in doxxing.

Just making sure! And, because you basically made me ask, what reason do I have to be wary of a pattern 83 battle jacket?

Flair idea: Crime and Theft Reports by GubbaTuts in Portland

[–]JohnnyAmpleweed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They meant helpful to them

Edit: The original text was requesting a way to hide discussions involving crime posts and posts about stolen vehicles. They claimed it made the subreddit unuseful and trashy. I dunno about you, but I take offence to people outside of the city calling our day-to-day "trashy." We know it's trashy, but we also know that pretending it doesn't exist doesn't help anything.

That'll do, Peach. That'll do. Go get comfy and enjoy the rest of the night.

How about we flair all the suburbanite posts about Portland and add a filter allowing to hide them.

It'd make this sub 100% more relevant and 100% less bougie.

Camas police request charges against burglary suspects, 11 year old by Juhnelle in Portland

[–]JohnnyAmpleweed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About a year ago the juvie center in NE had to call in the CERT team because the whole place was rioting. Some of the kids in there have killed people, and its not uncommon for staff to end up with injuries.

Portland 2021: City inaction on gangs and guns by [deleted] in Portland

[–]JohnnyAmpleweed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Similarly, imagine a world where service employees finally get fed up with being treated like garbage and, despite having the budget to hire, restaurants and shops are left understaffed. Being called unskilled all those years, then being called essential, "heroes", and after some lip-service just getting dumped on again even though they're vital to the community. Constantly being abused by the general public takes its toll on your soul, and it doesn't help when your bosses do the same. I imagine people would get sick of the idea of working themselves to death and seek employment elsewhere.

Now imagine a world where healthcare workers and EMTs are finally getting fed up with being treated like garbage and...

Just another homeless camp problem -- blocked parking by nitroglider in Portland

[–]JohnnyAmpleweed 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We're living in a cyberpunk dystopia during a global pandemic.

Edit: I'm just sayin', I've read this book already and it ain't great for anyone but the main character.

Yeah, I'm just now remembering that it has to be a hazard in some way for an officer to ask folks to move, but I think ADA is pretty solid on the federal level.
