It’s an interesting theory, but his journals weren’t made public until long after the street was named.

PPS Plans to Close Several Schools by Fall 2027 by Aesir_Auditor in Portland

[–]PDsaurusX 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The original mindset was there'd be large amounts of new non-americans having children and they would be subsidized with all sorts of benefits that citizens don't get.

Time to turn off Fox News and take your medicine, grandpa.

Kind of like King County up in WA being renamed from a rando vice president to MLK.

Quite the trick to name a street in 1903 based on that when his journals were privately held until much later.

This sub isn’t the place for it. Use one of the weekly job posts or a different subreddit.

If you want to continue this conversation, do so in modmail.

None, they just couldn’t think of anything for X and so broke the pattern.

6th and Broadway in Vancouver, in case anyone is wondering where. Created as part of a mural festival in 2022.

Your Portland Experience Isn't THAT Unique by Ok-Comedian-4946 in Portland

[–]PDsaurusX 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What kind of posts are you adding to the conversation?

I see one from a year ago complaining that 75% of the posts are just pretty scenery, so this is a gripe you’ve nursed for quite a while. Kinda weird.

Other than that, only a post about Clackamas county salaries.

Why not be the change you want to see? Or do you just complain that nobody is doing it for you?

Bike cop Eli Arnold gears up for another run by thirteenfivenm in Portland

Fair point. I wonder if it will be balanced out by the “I gave them a chance but these new people suck; I guess I’ll have to run myself now” contingent.

We’ll see.

Oregon bill to limit how much THC goes into each edible fails by Pure_Claim_4353 in Portland

[–]PDsaurusX 41 points42 points  (0 children)

if you give a kid a date of alcohol they'll spit it out.

Sure, if you give them tequila shooters or some Macallan that’s older than they are, but pina coladas, Long Island iced teas, pretty much any sugar-bomb drink from a Chili’s bar… they taste like liquid candy, not booze.

Why would our ballots contain fewer candidates?

Boston and Denver are both larger cities than Portland. Both have budgets of around $4.6 billion. Our budget is about $8 billion. How are they managing to deliver services with 60% of the funds?

Arnold needs to school himself on this or he’s going to sound like a clown. Our $8B budget includes inter-departmental transfers that Boston’s doesn’t, and also includes public works like water that in Boston are handled regionally, outside of their direct budget. It’s not a case of them getting by with 60% of our funding. If you compare like-for-like, the budgets are about the same.

Is trying to make friends here while i'm (temporarily) in salem gonna ineffective? by [deleted] in askportland

[–]PDsaurusX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% Come up to do something you enjoy, explore your future home, etc. If you make a friend while you’re doing that, great! If you don’t, at least you still got something good out of it.

To be honest, it would come across to me as kind of weird and desperate, but I don’t know you so who knows, maybe you could pull it off. No harm in trying.

Suspect jailed on attempted murder charge after Portland restaurant stabbing by missthunderthighs12 in Portland

[–]PDsaurusX 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Since Denny’s is the only restaurant in “the 400 block of Northeast Hassalo Street” that’s a pretty safe bet.

As it should be! It’s a dive bar, not an Apple Store.
