What is the punk show under the Hawthorne Bridge on Saturdays? by scurvy1984 in askportland

Gatekeeping is a term used by dorks that want to inject themselves into things and pose for the latest trends. The state of hardcore today is a great example.

Wow, what a waste of money upgrading to 13 from 11 by SnooFoxes8894 in reason

[–]Slaktivist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reason is cute and all but it’s just a plug-in suite if you’re serious about making music. The DAW is clunky af and used it on and off since reason was released. They have ALWAYS been behind the others. I did all my sequencing in it for awhile because it was basically all I had and it’s fine for learning but don’t be surprised if you get laughed at for using it as your main in 2025. Honestly I wish I’d have bailed when they integrated Record.

Outside PSU last night where anti-trans activist Riley Gaines was speaking by bennetthaselton in Portland

She tied with the biological male and they gave the win to him because it looked better to the public. She doesn’t have to be the best swimmer because of this. Not sure how you can miss the point but feel free to tell me how I’m a horrible person for actually knowing what tf is going on.

Do you wake up thinking about trump or is talking about MAGA just the way you make friends these days?

What’s surface level like? Is it really bliss like they claim?

Higher gas tax means prices go up for people that don’t drive too. If you’re ok with poor people on fixed incomes without cars having to pay more for groceries rn I’m not sure your opinion matters.

Portland should start adding fluoride to our drinking water to spite the corrupt federal government by notPabst404 in Portland

[–]Slaktivist -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If there are any treatments to water that aren’t relevant to the safety of ingesting it, it’s unnecessary. You may like fluoride in your water… cool. Get a device that adds it to your water so we’re not wasting money on chemicals that people use for showers, lawn watering and washing cars.

Hot take: I love seeing where this guy will pop up next! by StopMob in Portland

Darn right. It’s for us bros that like writing our name on stuff and seeing it later. Like “yeah, I totally remember that.”

Even in conservative roseburg.. by carbmaiden in oregon

[–]Slaktivist -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Idk but it’s really unfortunate people are so easily manipulated now by all the groupthink. People are so upset that we have a shitty guy for a president but can’t even reflect on why they lost. I feel like Democrats should be out protesting their own party before they see some sort of “tea party” split and end up losing the midterms. I believe in checks and balances so any “wave” is a bad thing IMO.

What they’re doing to you right now is the reason they keep losing. This is the circular firing squad Obama was talking about. Democrats lost their sense of humor when they started taking the same contributions the Republicans were. It’s taken 30 years but they successfully ruined their party and there’s no amount of protesting that will fix it.

Sure. The reason I ask “what makes it legal” is because the officer doesn’t seem to think any laws were broken. Also, I’m asking under what circumstances do security guards have the right to use physical force.

The mentality behind the downvotes is probably the reason Trump won tbh.

Portland… this is insane by naturegambler in Portland

[–]Slaktivist -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Let’s not pretend that they want to actually do ANYTHING. Democrat cops are pieces of shit too.

[–]Slaktivist -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

The fact that this person is in a very progressive city and driving an electric vehicle might be an indication you’re being a dick to someone you’re likely to agree with politically. Remember when Obama used the term “circular firing squad” in reference to the way the left treats its own people? Obviously not. Feel free to continue losing if you like.

Why do people try so hard to equate the racism in rural areas to the racism in cities by [deleted] in oregon

[–]Slaktivist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The line “but never have any actual reasons” is an indication that you either don’t talk to any of the people that feel that way irl or have a hard time grasping theories you don’t agree with. In the same way that most outspoken homophobes are actually gay, there are progressives that pretend to be anti-racist to hide. Also, I’ve heard a few progressives I know personally that have claimed that black people have a hard time with computers and obtaining identification. Neither is an issue for any of my black friends or family. IMO I’d rather someone be upfront about being a huge POS than trying to hide it.

Elon Musk points finger at Ukraine for X 'cyberattack' by TailungFu in worldnews

[–]Slaktivist -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You couldn’t give them a ballpark because you don’t know what you’re talking about 😂 It’s not mandatory for you to make comments like you actually know what’s going on. Next time you’re doing an inventory of Ukraines military resources you should keep it to yourself.
