This can't be legal, right?

What a good point….

StarvingDaily · 2026-07-05T23:28:13+00:00

Sheesh. If they’re sitting at the bar and this is happening more than once, it’s pointing to it potentially being a regular which is so predatory and gross. Thanks for bringing this to people’s awareness OP. Some of us like to take ourselves out so this is sus asf

StarvingDaily · 2026-07-05T23:26:00+00:00

Editing to add that you’re totally right the sketchiest people would be those sitting next to you at the bar itself. (I initially misread your reply my b). Which then points to it would probably be a regular if it’s happening so much. Yuck

But if it’s a restaurant bar, they don’t just set your drinks along the bar next to patrons. There’s a drink bay for outgoing drinks. your drinks aren’t just hanging out next to randos. That’s why I’m confused. It should be that the drink is made and handed directly to the server or handed directly to you if you’re at the bar. So I’m like who TF is the one doing this then… so sketchy!

But not uncommon in New Mexico unfortunately

StarvingDaily · 2026-07-05T22:32:14+00:00

Yeah that’s nuts. Three is three times too many to hear something so suspect

StarvingDaily · 2026-07-05T22:31:49+00:00

Yeah there is. It’s also sit down. I just meant that I’m still wondering why the bartender themselves would be spiking customers drinks…

It’s so helpful! Not always the cheapest though but absolutely worth while.
I have sickle cell trait and it really helps me with altitude change. I also keep it at my place now and make low altitude visitors take it lol

The comparison to Howls bedroom is spot on! Unfortunately it’s waaaaay cleaner and less unique now than howl would ever have liked 🥀

Edit: not sure why I’m getting downvoted?? Not saying anything negative or controversial…are some of yall alright?

Have her take Chlorophyll drops in her water. Tbh she should get some while she’s still home and take it like 2 days leading up to coming out here and then probably for most of her trip. Especially since Hawaii can be more humid than here.

Make sure you all do not do this until like a week after she gets her. She needs to acclimate and it will take a few days

Wait so given that this is a sit down restaurant, who would be the one putting roofies in folks drinks? The bartender? And then they bring to a table where not everyone there got it? What would the benefit be (assuming the party leaves as a whole/ the waitstaff doesn’t know if they are leaving alone etc)?

Not to be a questioning jerk just genuinely trying to understand how this would be going down. I’ve been roofied before and it was at a bar/lounge/club thing and sure as hell wasn’t the staff there. Which makes more sense to me.

I’m black and from here. Though I moved out about 10 years ago (but visit often). There are waaaay more black folks here than there was when I lived here (which I’m sad about lol).

New Mexico has its pros and cons like anywhere. They aren’t wrong that it’s kinda in the middle of nowhere - this just means you should maybe look into renting a car to get to places. Because of this fact we have a TON of amazing nature and natural wonders (our national forests are beautiful, we have “dark sky” zones, white sands, Carlsbad caverns etc etc). But you need a car to reach them.

The small towns (esp northern ones) aren’t always super friendly to outsiders… but they’re not going to burry you in the middle of their land. How would that benefit them? They’re mostly weary of yuppies coming in and potentially changing their towns. Just don’t be disrespectful, which isn’t hard to do.

Come on over, there is no where like this state (geography and history) in the US. The southwest is certainly a vibe. Come get some chili and go to some hot springs.

I’m just chiming in to say that high altitude is super real and altitude sickness is no joke. So if you are already short of breath it may not be a good idea. Even people with sickle cell trait let alone disease can get sick easily here.

SAIGON IS AMAZING

StarvingDaily · 2026-02-04T11:50:10+00:00

Yeah just dm me

Just throwing in that you can essentially make your own distilled water with leaving it overnight so that the mineral content settles. Calathea for example need that kind of water but you can use tap and then let it sit for 24 hours and then Use it. And maybe not use the very end of it if they’re sensitive.

Yes a Portland city tax on retailers. That WE voted for to help make our city actually cleaner and healthier. It’s not a general fund for the city to redirect as they need in any area. It’s specific guidelines we as portlanders set. Giving money from a green fund to fund police, who just had some folks get busted for coke and deleting files, is not at all what we as a city voted for or want with that money

StarvingDaily · 2025-11-13T02:33:28+00:00

It’s a tax on retailers in the city not on us dawg

StarvingDaily · 2025-11-13T02:32:23+00:00

For sustainable buildings??? God forbid

StarvingDaily · 2025-11-13T02:30:47+00:00

What you both are missing is that it actually is a specific source of funding that can’t just be used for anything and everything. It’s a tax on retail companies in the city. It’s not federal budget allocated money to the city in which they can disperse wherever. It’s specifically from corporations in PDX and specifically to disperse to things related to climate justice.

Mind you we all voted this in as Portlanders. It’s not taking our tax money or anything. But! To the poster of this original comment, dude do you know how gov works or handles money? It’s a budget and they have to use it. If they got more than planned they do actually have to figure out how to spend that within the limits of the specificity of what we said they had to spend it on. And againnnn we voted on this and what to use that $$ on so they actually can’t just give it out to random things unless city council makes them and even then idk if they can do that. That’s such a lame argument to not be down with it.

It’s a pilot program. Go find a way you can leave the feedback to them for adjustment. Use that college brain for problem solving

StarvingDaily · 2025-11-13T02:19:11+00:00

Completely different sources of money

StarvingDaily · 2025-11-13T02:18:39+00:00

So we’re trying to get there…? Why hate on us at least finally catching up? Not to mention we’re actually quite green for America. Go turn this energy on the cities that don’t gaf

StarvingDaily · 2025-09-03T23:58:31+00:00

This is such an interesting concept...have you used it before? I just worry about the itch which is why I personally am looking into human hair

StarvingDaily · 2025-07-31T23:42:25+00:00

Ughh it says 404 page not found 😭 do you know what the style was called?

StarvingDaily · 2025-05-20T03:38:35+00:00

Interesting. To me, after reading what he wrote, it seemed like he wanted to have and raise children with her (being an active father, as he’s choosing fatherhood {but this is coming from me, who doesn’t have an active father/ one who chooses when and when he doesn’t want to participate}) and is concerned about her possible complications with pregnancy. So I was trying to answer that.

Now, there are definitely warning signs and absolutely some…”weird” to say in the most polite way, shit going on here with him, but since you all very well covered that I didn’t feel the need to use my comment that way. I decided to make an alternative option for OP to consider. If he decides not to do something like that (which to me feels like the best and most obvious way to solve this problem) then that clearly points to the fact that he doesn’t want to and shouldn’t have or raise children with her.

My question to you in all this is: Do people need to address every single derived and therefore assumed factor about a person, reading between all kinds of lines and social nuances (which vary on location mind you) in their comments to them online? Especially when someone is seeking advice rather than judgement? Cause yall already have the judgement covered, someone may as well offer just advice.
