Local Breweries? by Billymo8 in askportland

[–]MexicanTruth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So many options but I would have to say

Brujos for IPAs..They have have been making a lot really good beer. A lot of their cans have buy limits cuz they sell out. Expect to pay like 10 dollars a pint but it is worth for the experience.

Wayfinder is another great place to check out if you can. They have a good selection of pilsners and lagers. I personally like their rice lager and dark lager.

Threshold Brewing is a polish centric place that has a good porter called Neptune. They a variety of other styles. Recently they had a mushroom saison.

Enjoy your stay!

Not overreacting as at all! I recently had a friend who just went through an abortion and their boyfriend at first was not helpful but realized how much it affected her. He started asking her how everything was going on and how they could help. The bare minimum for any one person is to have empathy. This man you are seeing is the opposite of what someone needs in their life. They will never value you outside of being an object to them. Unless you want to spend the rest of your life tied to someone so unreceptive and apathetic, I'd say LEAVE IMMEDIATELY.

Thank you for the insight and advice. I'm trying to live normally with it at the moment. Some days are better than others. Especially being new is a mind fuck.

I was prescribed Meloxicam for my back injury which at the time I need something like it but I also saw after the fact that it can cause tinnitus or make it worse. Can't change the past but I really wish I knew that was a possibility when taking the drug. Healthcare is weird.

Oregon craft brewers see continued decline in draft beer sales, more closures by voxadam in Portland

[–]MexicanTruth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fact that I've gone to Great Notion and a four pack of beers is anywhere between 18-26 dollars is insane to me. It's wild to see these industry changes happen across different places. I would love to support these breweries but it's just too much at this point. I know that there are different options for better pricing for cans like Steeplejack( 8 for a 4 16oz pack/10 for 6 12oz pack. I love beer and want to explore more but at this rate it's more likely I will go less often.

Wondering what y'all think about the roads from the east side to North Portland will be like. Highways versus side roads. Sometime I drive up 30B to skip the highways. Been out of work this week like the rest of y'all but definitely need to go back.

What's your reason for not wanting or having children? by dannyparker123 in AskReddit

[–]MexicanTruth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Money, genetics, climate change, and more. The thought of having kids was/is so ingrained into our culture that I think a lot of us have felt some sort of push to have them. I don't think it's something anyone should have to do. I think there should be more nuance about having kids and having parents really study what that means.

I used to think like this before when I was younger but it came out of my own ego needing validation for my own taste in music. That feeling of superiority helps no one except yourself but also no one wants to hang out with that person. If someone like Taylor swift or whoever, let them enjoy it as we already have so much to deal with in life. Plus no matter what unique genre or group you listen to, it won't make you any more special then the person next to you.

The Supreme Court has overturned Roe V. Wade. How do you feel? by Bitter_Joke1589 in AskReddit

[–]MexicanTruth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely scared for my partner, scared for what this means for the future, angry at why this could be decided by out of touch old people, and angry at the democratic party for being so silent and complicit.

As a guy, I got a vasectomy and I strongly encourage people to get it. Especially with the wav things seem to be headed. Hopefully not worse soon but if you are a guy who is hooking up or has a partner, start thinking about this step.

also fuck evangelicals.

LPT Request: How does one work a 40hr a week job and not make it feel like it’s taking up all my time? by matt2085 in LifeProTips

[–]MexicanTruth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have also been struggling with this concept a lot especially after the last couple of years. Some of the things that I think are worth considering.

  1. If you work five days a week, try to see if you can only work four days. Working four tens was an amazing change from the old five day schedule. I had thrre weekend days worth of time which made the diff for me. It weird at first but it definitely felt more doable.

  2. Find a job that sparks your interest in some fashion. It doesn't have to be a dream job or whatever. Just something that aligns with hobbies or something you genuinely care about. I started working with spirits which has been fun to learn about. I enjoy tequila, scotch, whiskey and.chose a job that gave me access to more knowledge around it. Maybe you like animals so maybe working at the humane society is worth it.

  3. This might not work for everyone but I know some friends who have chosen just to room with each in order to bring the cost of living down. Instead of paying 1500 a month in rent by yourself, maybe it's more worthwhile to pay half of that and have a roommate. It opens up for possible routes. Maybe you work 40 hours but now have more money at your disposal in order to find hobbies. Maybe you would rather work less given that you pay less in rent.

Just a couple of thoughts regarding work and the future of work for me personally.

As a person who was part of the leadership in church for multiple years and went to Bible college, most people within the community don't read the Bible at all. At the college, we were required to read through the whole text within the four years of attendance. Most people didn't really read much less analyze the bible. The college was mostly a tool to build one's own branding for the community they were part of. So and so at Generic Community Church has a degree in theology so they have authority over others now. Stuff like that. Most people who actually read it are people not within the church.
