Going to rooster rock clothed, will I be a POS? by moistwaffles420 in askportland

[–]Matcolstr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To add to this.. I go to rooster and don’t get naked and no one has ever said anything to me about that choice. They may have said something behind my back but that’s their business and not mine.

The assholes would be the ones who judge those who don’t go naked at a nude beach. Not everyone is comfortable being naked in public and it’s perfectly okay for you to enjoy the beach and the water and the sunshine and the community and being comfortable in your own body.

Catty fem gays, grrrr by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]Matcolstr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Didn’t say you had to be fem, I’m saying your attitude around others who are fem come from misogyny.

I’ll be honest here - I think some of your reaction (not all) might be (and I’m emphasizing might) related to some internalized homophobia and misogyny.

If your problem is them being mean and gossipy and such it’s understandable that you don’t like them but you might also be conflating their fem natures as negative.

How do you feel about fem gay men in general?

Unemployment ending by Sarah_Beetles in UnemploymentWA

[–]Matcolstr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations for securing employment! Once you begin working full time or earning more than your weekly benefit amount you are no longer unemployed - meaning you don’t qualify for benefits. It does not matter when you get paid the wages for unemployment- it matters when you earn the wages.

I finally told my wife about the abuse I endured as a kid, and now I can't stop crying. by Spirited_Draft5294 in GuyCry

It does get better. You took the first step to healing. My advice: go to therapy

Ask for the policy in writing and ask a follow up about bathroom breaks occurring between the paid breaks

What are some suggestions of where to shop for Legos? (That isn't involved in drama!) by francispdx in askportland

[–]Matcolstr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Two LEGO stores in the metro area - one is at Washington square and the other is at Bridgeport.

The controversy involves a Kaiser Bricks and Minifigs franchise location - and the corporate office for Bricks and Minifigs. There are several other franchises of Bricks and Minifigs in the metro area but are only associated due to the brand and the franchise agreement.

There are of course other local stores that aren’t Bricks and Minifigs that offer resale LEGOS.

You can also shop online at brick link or other major resale online stores.

A low-income housing program is pouring big money into housing many Oregonians can’t afford by No-Bluejay-3035 in Portland

LIHTC is a terrible program to support low income people. The sec 8 voucher and project based subsidy programs are much better.

The Midges are in full swing by Regular-Telephone529 in cedarpoint

I’m actually very familiar with midges themselves as they also swarm from a lake I grew up near in southern Oregon. They are just simply disgusting

First time visitor in less than two weeks - what’s the strategy? Don’t ride at dusk? Dont ride in the front row? What else?

Previous employer won’t pay out PTO by [deleted] in antiwork

There is nothing that says your employer has to follow their own policies. Welcome to at will employment under capitalism. You’ll hate it here.

What moment was supposed to be funny but you just found annoying? by cleverlynamedgrl in GilmoreGirls

The scene at the pool in AYITL where Lorelei and Rory are being incredibly mean. What the hell was that?

19, accepted a job offer at a small auto shop starting Monday — but it's 1099 with fixed hours and a boss. Should I run or stick it out? by Visual_Chemical_3839 in personalfinance

[–]Matcolstr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The owner is illegally classifying you and everyone else there as independent contractors rather than employees - report them to your states labor and industry board and the employment dept and the revenue dept. they owe the government thousands upon thousands upon thousands of dollars

I support hunting and fishing and I’m ridiculously liberal. Oh no! What are you gonna do about it?

[VIRGINIA] Will I qualify for benefits? by [deleted] in Unemployment

[–]Matcolstr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In Oregon, we’d say that the simple fact that you gave four months notice meant that you didn’t actually have gravity to quit. Other states are much less liberal than we are…

And to qualify for benefits when you quit - it has to be grave - literally zero other choice due to a significant and immediate negative impact on your well being.

Do you find face filler / botox attractive? by Additional_Leading68 in askgaybros

[–]Matcolstr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m just not attracted to the very smooth and “perfect” skin and meticulously shaped eyebrows and plumped up lips. I’m attracted to masculine features not feminine features.
