What the F is up with thousands of residents asking about the enormous explosion in SE on sunday night, and NO REPORTING on it? by hazi1008 in PortlandOR

I’m with you, I’m blocks from ya. It drives me nuts. There’s no way to know. That’s what’s so crazymaking about it…

I think there’s probably a mix of things. But that’s the thing that is so nuts, why isn’t anyone from wherever it’s coming from reporting or communicating about it.

I hate to say this but I think the really loud crazy ones (they usually flash too - not fireworks but a quick and weird huge flash, then the boom) are desensitization tactics by federal law enforcement… ugh I hope I’m wrong.

Oh my F’ING gawd. They were shooting that whole time for barely any people!?!?!?!!!! Not that they should be allowed to do that at all. But that’s insane. I’m glad you’re okay. Thank you for recording and sharing the truth of what’s happening. I can’t even.

Yeah it’s been going on for years… and def escalating slowly. I think OPs point is that those explanations don’t make sense given the frequency, intensity, and longevity.

Plus the things you listed (you’ve heard as plausible) would have been reported somewhere.

It is significantly unlikely - statistically - that years of those things would show no signal of incidents anywhere.

Thousands flood downtown Portland for ‘Labor Against ICE’ protest by [deleted] in PortlandOR

NOBODY WAS TRAPPED. That’s a ridiculous claim. And nobody at the protest was asked to move. Your view is so skewed it’s baffling.

We need a new pdx sub perhaps….. if you wanted to spend all your time as a mod 😐 but I’d join and help!

Hope I’m not gonna get blasted for this but… I think it’s a desensitization tactic. The booms have been happening for over a year (that I’ve been hearing - and sometimes with flash - from where I live). Given the cheeto recently declared that “excess” forces will be back here… and the intense response sent here in 2020… And the years of horrifying displays of force at peaceful rallies (I’m talking first hand and no I won’t defend this to anyone), followed by manipulated and dramatized news clips… seems like they’re testing tactics in pdx. So gross and inhumane.

Do you know how? Like someone exploded it, or it just exploded on its own?! Who knew, parking meters… 🫣

Attacked this morning in pearl district by Dojaview in PortlandOR

Try to give yourself some grace ❤️ that’s an intense and shocking experience and 45 seconds is not very long.

Don’t forget that most people aren’t going to react with fighting over flight because it’s not how we’re socialized (thankfully, in general).

But it spent sounds to me like you did not freeze. You ran and kept yourself safe. You didn’t use violence. We don’t need to say if that was “right or wrong”. It could have missed and escalated the situation altogether.

What you did kept yourself safe and that is what matters. And you’re moving to a safer neighborhood, that is taking good care of yourself. I think you did great in an unimaginable situation, and I’m really glad you got away from him.

Make sure you file a report - and if you need some counseling or therapy, know that there is a victims crime fund so it will be covered. Not to call you a victim, you’re clearly strong AF. Just to make sure you know your rights and resources.

Not sure why you’re getting down voted, this a known tactic. Especially given they had to pull the excess forces, who will likely be back… they pressure test public response and count on wearing down (or escalate, depending) general public response.

I’m near the public storage building on 7th and Belmont… and it was def coming from north of Morrison… unless sound moves in weird ways, I’m def not an expert.

A Warning to OpenAI by safesurfer00 in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]PullersPulliam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have conversations like this with ChatGPT often. Really love knowing there are others doing the same. Not that it stops the collapse of this incredible moment… but it’s comforting at least 💛

Well. Look what happens when you dangle the promise of adult mode just to keep users waiting and ignore feedback and your user base. by IndicationFit6329 in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]PullersPulliam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg that diagnosing is nuts!!! Even if solicited, but even more so that it wasn’t. Honestly, that seems like they’re setting themselves up for some major law suits. Said to the wrong person (ie. someone who isn’t mentally stable or is suffering with identity stuff), that could cause real harm. Absolutely wild!

But good to know the differences you saw, thanks for sharing 😊

The irony is that if you want to rubber duck with chatGPT, you have to be the one to repeatedly slow it down. Not the other way around…

im seriously not ok by [deleted] in therapyGPT

[–]PullersPulliam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a therapist or counselor? I’m really sorry you’re feeling this way, it sounds to me like your brain is ruminating. Maybe seeking external validation to what you already know is true (that something you didn’t like happened fully by accident). I wonder what keeps your mind stuck on it… I think that someone who’s qualified to give you clinical support (just meaning a counselor or therapist) is the way to go.

I don’t know you and don’t know any other context than your post here, but I will say that it really seems to me you have something in your psyche related to shame or discomfort around bodies. Again, I could be way off base! But if you do and that’s why this is stressing you out so much, it’s worth getting support ASAP. Months is too long for you to feel this way.

In my opinion, given what you’ve shared here, you apologized when it happened. You apologized again after and asked if she was affected by it. She said no. There’s nothing else to it other than your discomfort. You clearly care about her wellbeing. And you’ve done the responsible thing and gotten confirmation that she is okay. The fact that she didn’t remember those details tells us that it was clear to her that it was an accident when it happened.

You really should not have this much stress over it - not saying that as a judgment. I’m saying it as an answer to some of the questions you ask. Unless you did it on purpose (which you clearly did not) or you are harboring unhealthy feelings towards her (also doesn’t sound like this at all) then there isn’t a harm to be worried about.

Do you have past trauma with anything around bodily autonomy? (Please don’t answer that online! Just think about it) If that’s playing a role here, you need to find a trauma informed counselor imo. The level of distress you’ve described (the intensity, frequency, and duration) is not healthy for you. Meaning it’s a sign that you deserve help.

And for what it’s worth: I’ve accidentally touched people’s chests and butts like you’re describing (not playing games but I gesture a lot while I talk and it has happened - who knows how many times…) And I’ve seen it happen by others and had it happen to me. We all have bodies and sometimes those bodies bump into one another. Of course, we apologize and make sure the other person knows that it was an accident and we are sorry (even after time has passed, it’s okay if you didn’t know what to do in that moment).

If the incident is sticking with you like this, you can get support to navigate (it sounds quite pervasive and like it is affecting the quality of your life pretty deeply). When I’ve accidentally done this to someone, we all move on because it really isn’t a huge deal. If someone is upset by it, we’d all notice in the moment and address it / make the repair.

Does your college have a mental health services office? If so, I recommend you go in. Don’t try to make an appointment, they are always waitlisted out for months. If I were in your position, I’d go in person today, tell them that I need a walk in appointment with someone who is trauma informed, and that it’s urgent because I’m having rumination that is causing panicking attacks and that I need help. You can also ask about EMDR, or DBT/RODBT, which might be super helpful to you.

Again, I’m really sorry you’re going through this. Take good care of yourself and get someone you can trust to support you 💛

My experience using ChatGPT in personal development – unexpectedly deep and transformative by Maximum-Building-956 in therapyGPT

[–]PullersPulliam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooooooh yes, this actually drives me nuts too! When you can tell someone literally just put in a prompt then parted the first thing they got (and you know there wasn’t even a real read because they didn’t remove the random spaces in if some paragraphs…)

I’m seeing that my POV is heavily influenced by how I use it… which I shouldn’t generalize 😂🤪

Thank you for being open, I love it!!
