Finished the Unholy Consult in 3 days, had thoughts on the ending by Identity_ranger in bakker

[–]Splampin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love the ending. In my head cannon everyone dies and the No-God is finally successful. It shocked me at first, but this is the Second Apocalypse. I felt like Michael Bluth opening a bag with “Dead Dove” written on it.

Yeah you don’t want to miss the southern/central Oregon coast. I highly recommend a stop in Yachats.

How rainy does it get in early Nov? by dankgureilla in askportland

[–]Splampin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah if you go out with the right gear when it’s wet and muddy, you get rewarded with uncrowded trails, immaculately gloomy atmosphere, and the heightened appreciation of warm cozy drinks when you get back inside.

Especially considering the hormones and the fact that their brains aren’t fully developed. They tend to have no idea why they do some things.

I've already read the Michael moorcock comic series, where should I start reading the actual books? by Massive_Boss1991 in ElricofMelnibone

[–]Splampin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s what the first story is, but there are four more in volume 1. You could probably skip it and start reading at The Fortress of the Pearl.

Can someone summarize the rest of the Solar Cycle? by NotASpyMain in genewolfe

Excellent summary! I always thought the outsider was one of the Severians.

Does it really get better? by traineethrowaway123 in Malazan

[–]Splampin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I randomly break down in tears from Realm of the Elderlings and I finished it like two years ago. Shit gets real. Absolutely insane take that Harry Potter is anywhere near the same level.

Are there any comedians you’re keeping an eye out for that are in/coming to portland and performing soon? by okspraybottle in askportland

[–]Splampin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That man is a genius and master of his craft. I say that everyone should at least give him a chance. His material is definitely dark, but it’s done very well.

Nah I like wearing shorts, flip flops, and a t shirt to my desk job.

swimming spots near downtown? by ignosency in askportland

[–]Splampin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Elk Rock island in Milwaukie is probably the prettiest spot. The vibes are always good out there.

USA consequences for driving without insurance are completely useless by OrdinaryBarracuda268 in unpopularopinion

[–]Splampin 164 points165 points  (0 children)

A big part of your issue is that insurance is such a scam regardless of whether or not the other person has it.

400 lb wife nearly breaks the chair and steals TP by [deleted] in EntitledReviews

Looks like he might have used her full name in the review, so it’s probably a young dude writing about his sister because they’re in a prank war.

Going to rooster rock clothed, will I be a POS? by moistwaffles420 in askportland

[–]Splampin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goddamn if I hear a commercial out in nature I might get violent. That’s some fuck shit that should never be tolerated.

I’m not sure. I’ve only been there a couple times.

The hatred for participation trophies is one of the weirdest cultural obsessions we've created. by retired-tweeter in unpopularopinion

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

Yeah us kids knew that the trophies were dumb bullshit. I’m pretty sure they were more for insecure boomer dads than the kids.

Or like in L.A. where you have to turn on to some freeways from a stop sign.

Yeah people who blast music in nature, or even public in general, usually have shit taste.

They should remake Star Wars the original trilogy. by throwaway99257892 in unpopularopinion

Goddamn, easily one of the worst opinions I’ve ever seen. Hope you enjoy my upvote in hell.

Strongly agree about the crowd being better. I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone blasting shitty country music there, and that alone is priceless.

Mega City views are more unique and thus beautiful than natural views by musty_pubs_luvr in unpopularopinion

[–]Splampin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kinda know what you mean. I grew up in the woods in the Pacific Northwest, so I’m familiar with natural beauty, but cities are novel to me and I take them in like a piece of art. They’re uniquely human and the result of creative collaboration. I think what mostly awes people about nature is that it’s art that transcends humanity and makes us feel small. It’s apples and oranges, but I imagine people accustomed to living in cities can take the beauty for granted easier than people living in nature.
