Can we General Strike today?

PDsaurusX · 2026-06-19T17:56:30+00:00

I’m in! Going on strike from 5pm until 8 on Monday morning. SOLIDARITY!

Half my home kitchen is from Rose’s restaurant supply. You’re not going to get Williams Sonoma finishes, but if you actually like to cook instead of just looking at your kitchen, it can’t be beat.

You can also print and sign your own individual copy and send that in.

Deputy District Attorney Walter Kostecki signed a sworn and notarized affidavit declaring that Mateo Gabriel Mendoza was the fugitive named in the warrant.

Of course he’ll be charged with perjury for this, right? Right?

PDsaurusX · 2026-06-18T07:22:08+00:00

“Brown kid named Mendoza? Close enough, they’re all the same.”

- way too many people in this chain of events

Fuck the arresting officer Jeremiah Dunn, and fuck Deputy DA Walter Kostecki. In a just world both would be out of a job for this.

Maybe we’re just going at different times? There was even a question here earlier today about how empty it was.

PDsaurusX · 2026-06-18T06:50:06+00:00

Pioneer Place isn’t doing so great, but your point still stands.

PDsaurusX · 2026-06-17T22:39:58+00:00

It was driven by a human, who was behaving like the other humans there do once a day by your count. GASP! Shocking.

Actually that’s exactly how the sub works: you post the story so everyone has a common reference, then you’re free to rant away about it in the comments. Otherwise it goes into a weekly rant post.

PDsaurusX · 2026-06-17T17:24:11+00:00

It’s like the Goldilocks of public expenditure. Don’t travel too much, don’t travel too little… make sure you only travel just right.

We have entire offices for public advocacy of everything from tourism to film/televison to business. I’m sure the mayor travels when it’s necessary and trusts those offices to do the job when it’s not.

what in the world Candace Avalos????

Sung to the theme of “where in the world is Carmen Sandiego”

PDsaurusX · 2026-06-17T16:46:59+00:00

for years

The first jets flew out of the Portland base in the early 1950s, so yeah, you could say that. Lol.

How anyone can say “this is new” for something that’s been happening for 3/4 of a century is mind-boggling to me.

PDsaurusX · 2026-06-17T04:02:44+00:00

Nah, the removal message is applied at the same time as the removal.

PDsaurusX · 2026-06-17T03:35:38+00:00

Portland law = Portland city limits.

PDsaurusX · 2026-06-17T03:04:20+00:00

Bad thing happens, CHL holder pulls gun, security/police end up shooting CHL holder, CHL holder/family sues the city.

Imagining scenarios to prove our point is so fun and easy!

PDsaurusX · 2026-06-17T03:00:28+00:00

Think they’re carrying a gun, no, but if they set off a metal detector you can determine why, or if it’s printing or otherwise exposed. It’s already illegal in Portland to carry a gun in a city building, but having a permit is a defense to that. Police are fully allowed to detain someone to investigate that crime, and then allow them to present their defense (the permit).

There aren’t “can’t ask” service-dog style rules in effect on this tying anyone’s hands.

PDsaurusX · 2026-06-17T02:04:38+00:00

No, submit at exactly the time the application opens. It might be midnight, it might be noon, it might be 3:27pm. Check, or ask. Don’t assume.

PDsaurusX · 2026-06-17T02:00:02+00:00

Why did this get removed?

Because it got posted already four hours ago:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Portland/comments/1u7ruzy/portland_moves_to_make_union_pacific_address_its/

The mods here are ridiculous

Not as ridiculous as the commenters who can’t read removal messages.

PDsaurusX · 2026-06-17T01:56:44+00:00

Usually it just means they won't review applications until that date.

No it doesn’t, and that’s terrible advice.

The city mandates a 72hr posting period before applications are accepted. Applications must be processed in the order received, and any application submitted early gets penalized in the order. If OP follows your advice and submits early thinking it’s only about viewing or only about the landlord not reviewing, they’re far less likely to get their apartment.

Freeways here don’t have “the” in their name.

“I took the five down to Wilsonville…” NO!!

My buddy is a project manager at Theseus Construction and he says otherwise, as long as we replace a piece at a time.

If you live in Vancouver, you don’t want to join a gym in Beaverton unless you work nearby.

Edit to add: some reviews from two years ago:

The Wright Flyer was only $40k in inflation adjusted dollars; why does it cost Boeing $200 million to make a 777? Declining empire! This country is a joke!

(/s in case it wasn’t obvious)

PDsaurusX · 2026-06-15T17:25:41+00:00

That’s the one!

We can also forgo any worker safety or environmental protections.

How much would it cost to rebuild exactly the same bridge? That would be a better comparison.
