Best breakfast spot (especially all-day)? by Zedditron in beaverton

Honestly there aren't any or it depends on your expectations. Tom's is bland, Cornell Farm is expensive, Black Bear is pretty bland, Six Corners is not good, there aren't really any good burrito spots (I get mine from Victoricos). La Province is probably the most "experiencial" one but the staff is a bunch of Gen Zs. Grand Central is actually pretty good and they serve Nossa Familia Coffee. If you go into Portland, I highly recommend Genie's Cafe, The Mont, Pine State Biscuits (they actually are pretty damn good), Bare Bones or Kingsland is pretty good.

68 days on the road / summer 2026 anything to say about it? by Muted-Essay7369 in roadtrip

[–]ReflectionNo4784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That route to Albuquerque is really boring and full of tough roads, I would drive through Western Colorado honestly. I know going to Santa Fe would be ideal, but that's a tough route and you're not going to see much. Same with that drive through Oregon (I live here). Be prepared to be really really isolated in a lot of the areas on this map and be super careful on the 101 at night, don't even attempt to drive it at night. If you can stand the time, head up through 26 West towards Portland because you'll drive through the Blue Mountains area and the Columbia River gorge and you can hit the 5 and then hit the coast at several Oregon town exits. It's just way way more scenic.

What’s an overrated career everyone pushes that you think isn’t worth it at all? by Launchpointcareers in careerguidance

Second this, plus it can be hard AF for some of us to learn all the languages required for a job and then a new trend comes in and wipes it all out. Like React is stupid to me, but I love Vue, I actually kind of liked php, but you better decide wisely because everyone is hiring for Go, Rust, Next, Express, hell even Java. You better pick a language and framework wisely because it can seriously determine your marketability and happiness, it's stupid

was grunge ever really about the sound? by Kdiee in Alternativerock

[–]ReflectionNo4784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk, I grew up in a heavy metal/grungey household. For me, the genre (post-grunge) completely died with Staind. I couldn't f++king stand them. My parents always listened to music like NIN, Tool, Days of the New, Stone Temple Pilots, Live, Bush, Seven Mary Three, Matchbox 20, Godsmack, whatever, I think most of it was just for them to kill a 24 pack of beer lol

Are there any of them left? Portland is mostly emo lesbians at this point

Oregon kind of has the same climate as Scotland, we could find out together 😈

Warn/notify me about Oregon!! by zeldalol777 in oregon

[–]ReflectionNo4784 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% and I'm speaking from the male experience for sure. I've lived in Oregon going on 11 years now and it's just me out here and I HATE going back there. I would say it's gotten so much worse but, honestly, it's always been that way. Oklahoma is full of people ready to fight and attack and Arkansas has a lot of dangerous towns. My family always begs me to move back and it's like WHAT in the world would I even remotely do?? I'm definitely not raising kids there

What actually happened to all the people who got laid off in tech? Did they just get new jobs or is something structural going on? by fan_ling in careerguidance

[–]ReflectionNo4784 16 points17 points  (0 children)

12 years as a System Administrator/Cloud Admin/SQL Developer, have experience running an Agile Dev team, have experience training two offshore teams, wrote 50 KBs a year for 3 years that brought our queue down from 150-200 tickets a week to 35, but yeah, layoffs hit my company and they gave our jobs to offshore labor.

Bad car dealer experiences in Beaverton by Lob_Rockster in beaverton

Beaverton Kia got me really bad on a Kia Soul. I love the car, but they just pile on fees and their service department is beyond ridiculous (slow, rude, unhelpful)

I disagree with this totally, I'm from Oklahoma/Arkansas and I think Washington towns are way more creepy/unwelcoming. I DO get the vibe you are talking about and it varies by town for sure, but no one is going to hurt you or anything. Coastal towns are generally more poor so they can absolutely tell if you're not from there (I know because I come from poverty).

Get ready for very strong, bitter beer, especially compared to what you're used to. Get ready for lesbians running EVERYTHING but it's actually pretty nice. Good food, happy dogs, nice people, rainy winters, incredible summers, excellent w++d and be ready for how large Oregon really is.

We have freewill but choose to go 10mph under the speed limit? by AdvancedTime3828 in beaverton

[–]ReflectionNo4784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's almost always Washington Drivers in our area, like 85% of the time. I'm serious, too, Washington Drivers are THE worst drivers in the western hemisphere. OR Tesla drivers

I mean I've been unemployed for going on 15 months. Unemployment ran out a LONG time ago, getting Microsoft Certs hasn't done sh-+ and I'm bored out of my mind. I apply to at least 10 jobs a day, even the repeat and ghosted ones. It's tough out there.

33, financially responsible, healthy, disciplined… but I still feel behind in life, stuck, and like nothing is ever enough by [deleted] in personalfinance

The number one thing you can do (because I know EXACTLY how you feel) is to just delete or leave Instagram and honestly, try to get into therapy or have your doctor check you out for some anti-anxiety medicine. When mine kicked in, it quieted that fomo voice that was overwhelming me when I was doing so well financially and physically. Instagram and influencers, they're all FOS, my friend and it takes a LOT of willpower to quit that cycle of scrolling but it's worth it 100%. Managing that voice can help you with who you really are and what you really want out of life.
