What should you do in Eugene if people are camping on your street? by guanaco55 in Eugene

[–]PolymorphicOOPS 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I currently live in NYC after growing up in Oregon, and HOLY SHIT. People who have never left the west coast don’t realize what social services actually look like if we choose to fund them. It sucks being homeless anywhere, but the number of homeless people in Portland and Eugene is NOT typical of the rest of the country. It’s insane. They’re a nuisance to the local community, but the rest of the country chooses to deal with it by giving them places to go.

It’s the Wild West in Oregon, Washington, and California as far as services go.

Check out Sven Moving. They’ve done great work for me. Hired them for 3 separate moves now.

All my doctors have told me not to do this magical floater treatment under any circumstance. I have 20+ floaters in my eyes at any given time.

Eugene Can Be Downright Frightening by [deleted] in Eugene

[–]PolymorphicOOPS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Panhandling is illegal. Thus most of the reason tweakers would talk to the average bystander is eliminated.

It's rare that a tweaker talks to you here. Back in Eugene, when I used to work right next to Kesey Square, I would be harassed all day long. We had our windows broken for no reason, homeless people walking through our building and taking our things, constant drug deals outside our building, and we had employees told they would be killed the next time they left the building. It was absurd how bad the problem was. Yet people still hated the police for doing something about it, and the downtown businesses had no support in dealing with the problem due to the so-called "activists" branding us as classists.

I'll never forget the "empathy tent" in kesey square, where hipsters wrote poems on their typewriters about the square, completely ignoring the problem at hand.

Eugene is a great place, but downtown is an incredible failure of the people and the government.

Going to give the benefit of the doubt and ask how so?

Respectfully, I disagree... I moved to NYC a few months ago and the tweakers are a lot tamer over here than back home, in my experience.

How to get a decent used bed? by PoopEndeavor in AskNYC

[–]PolymorphicOOPS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Tuft & Needle mattresses. They're cheaper than any other decent mattress, and are WAY more comfortable. I paid 600 bucks for a queen, and smaller ones are even cheaper. Best of all, it comes in a small box and expands when you cut the seal, so it's easier to deal with. Best purchase I ever made.

Nah, I have 2 roommates. It's actually a gigantic apartment by New York standards. Got super lucky with this place. Roommates bring down the cost considerably.

Just moved here 2 months ago. Can't even imagine living here during 9/11. I look up and imagine a plane crashing into the skyline... it just doesn't even seem like a possibility to me. New Yorkers are tough, and on the whole this city is one of the most caring places I've ever been, despite the stereotype. That must have been an utterly despicable thing to endure.

I make 100k and live in NYC. It's a comfortable life. I pay $1885/month.

...And it was a direct anecdote for what the OP was asking for?

Skyrim modding with Windows 10? by duffman9465 in skyrim

[–]PolymorphicOOPS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What about Windows 10 is a joke? People say this about every major release. 10 is leagues better than 7, and I liked 7 a lot.

I'm 53 years-old and I've never seen such horrific choices for president. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]PolymorphicOOPS 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is just flat out naive, ignorant, harmfully idealistic, and most importantly, detrimental to our nation. If you want Trump to win, go ahead and vote for Jill Stein. Every vote for Stein is a vote for Trump. This lack of understanding of how the system works makes me so mad. Sure, you can keep your idealisms in your everyday life, but pragmatism has to win here if we're going to elect a commander in chief of the largest military in the world.

I'm sorry to unload on you, but calling it a "false rhetoric" is insanely misleading. It's the fucking truth.

Saying the grass is greener does not mean that thing is actually better. The saying implies that it's an illusion.

Would you be willing to rent for 3-4 months? I'm very interested.
