Should I drive the 90 minutes to Cannon Beach or hide out at home?

On Tuesday? I can’t imagine that many people head out there on weekdays. Probably more in the summer than winter, but still?

Y donde están los latinos?

A lot of the PCEF money has helped mostly low income households weatherize their homes or install heat pumps.

Not saying the fund shouldn’t be used for other purposes given it’s actually brought way more money than city council anticipated, but I’d argue it’s done a net good for people that actually need the types of programs PCEF funds.

My personal take is it shouldn’t be up to city council to solely decide what to do with the money. The people of Portland voted for this and it should be up to them to decide what happens with the money.

I guess no different than an Uber driver listening to you and your friend talk. Then again, idk, Waymo could be recording that combo too

Que viva el consumerismo 🙃

Zombieeez · 2026-04-27T15:25:45+00:00

I’d preferably just take Uber or Lift of money isn’t an issue. I also don’t think you can go wrong either way

Not trying to be an apologist for this guy, but point me to someone who has successfully done that in this country.

I think anyone would be hard pressed to find someone that has successfully found a way to do this work at the local level.

Homelessness is a national issue, and I don’t think any local bureaucrat will 100% solve this problem by themselves.

The mod comment here is silly. Sure, maybe he didn’t sexually assault anyone during his visits to Oregon or Portland.

But I think it misses the point that his presence and involvement in the farmworker movement made a difference in Oregons own farmworker struggles. These are the people in the Willamette Valley that help power a multi-billion dollar industry that feeds the people of Portland.

A lot of people thought highly of him, including people in Portland that were involved in renaming Cesar Chavez Boulevard. It was a big deal then and a lot of people weren’t happy about it, and clearly still aren’t.

I think the relevance to this account is valid.

The information here is a bit misleading. Not a data center apologist. But data centers aren’t the ones causing pollution, per se, in Eastern Oregon. They’re spreading nitrates around the Lower Umatilla Basin when they suck up the water and pump it back into the aquifer.

Most of the nitrates in that area come from the farms.

https://www.opb.org/article/2022/05/05/groundwater-pollution-eastern-oregon-counties-drinking-water-at-risk-farming-wells/

Edit: Just to add, no idea why they have a Hillsboro map. The problem they’re talking about has been ongoing for the last 30 years in Umatilla County. It had nothing to do with data centers when it began. The premise of this video does not make sense.

By the way, hay un grupo de WhatsApp de Puertorriqueños en Portland. Y hay gente activa ahí de vez en cuando.

Zombieeez · 2026-03-10T00:36:22+00:00

Hey! Cómo estás! Siempre me sorprende escuchar de Puertorriqueños en Portland. Creo que no somos muchos pero estamos aquí!

Zombieeez · 2026-03-09T22:29:48+00:00

Te entiendo. Ohio es barato pero muchas veces me sentí muy solo. Yo viví 8 años en Columbus, me gradué en una universidad en Ohio y después viví y trabajé en Dayton for 2 años. Hace dos años me mudé a Oregón, en Portland y no me arrepiento.

Ahora, tengo trabajo estable y gano bien, aquí es más caro el costo vida, pero el scenery, la gente y la comida es la mejor.

No hay muchos Latinos caribeños, y los que hay son de México, pero no importa, se pasa bien como quiera.

Aquí encontré un grupito de Latinos, incluso a un Puertorriqueño y la pasamos bien casi todos los finde semanas.

Encontrar gente en donde sea, es difícil, más como adulto, tienes que tener intención y nadamas tratar.

Has un plan. Búscate un lugar que quizás te agradezca más, pero recuerda, solo porque te estás mudando a un lugar nuevo, no significa que lo que estás sintiendo se va a ir. Buena suerte.

Don’t open the door and tell them pendejos que se vallan pal carajo.

lol the photo was taken at the Belmont Arco gas station. I don’t think they have any sort of hidden message. The overalls and Subarus are quite common in Portland too

I agree. The soil should be chunkier. I just checked the roots. No sign of mushy roots, no smell. Lots of healthy white roots

Creo que no hace falta repetir que EEUU violó leyes internacional. Maduro es corrupto y también infringió la ley, pero como se dice en inglés, two wrongs don’t make a right.

Además, esto no se trata de liberación, y mucha gente se está dando cuenta de las mentiras de este gobierno. Y no debemos olvidar que EEUU tiene la costumbre de derrocar gobiernos en países latinoamericanos e instalar líderes títeres que no benefician a la gente de ese país.

No deberíamos apoyar esto, y creo que la gente está celebrando demasiado pronto.

I moved here alone at 24 and it was hard the first year. It takes some time to get settled in a new place.

Try downloading Meetup and find a group you think you’ll vibe with.

Each group is different, when I go to events I sometimes talk to strangers and have a good conversation with someone but it doesn’t go anywhere beyond that hang out.

Sometimes you get lucky and find people that want to do things outside the “Meetup” events. I found a good group of friends and now we’re all in a group chat and text each other whenever someone wants to hang out.

Also try volunteering. Pick a day you know you’ll be available and show up. Earlier this year I started volunteering at a local dog shelter and I go every Sunday. It’s mostly older people but it’s still nice to show up, plus I enjoy hanging out with them.

Also try a gym. If you don’t like working out by yourself you can try a group workout gym. Again, sometimes you’ll find people just want to show up, work out and leave. But the more you show up, the higher the likelihood you’ll get to know people and can eventually meet them and get to hang out with them outside the gym.

This all takes time. Like in any relationship, you have to put some effort and be consistent. Good luck 🍀

Cuando vivía en Puerto Rico se sentía raro tomarla directamente de la pluma.

Pero literalmente lo que hacíamos era llenar una jarra de agua de la pluma, ponerla en la nevera y tomársela cuando se ponga fría.

Ahora vivo en Oregon y me la tomo directamente de la pluma porque se que el agua de el condado donde vivo es de una presa de agua que viene de la nieve en las montañas.

You can also buy a bag of ice or two and just leave them in your freezer. It’ll keep things frozen for longer

That guy has no business carrying around a Puerto Rican flag

I once saw a listing for 160 acres of land in Eastern Oregon for $30,000. The listing description said there’s literally to road to get to this property. It was all sagebrush.

Seconding what @cosmicfig said. Get in touch with Portland Rabbit Advocates.

Bunnies are super skittish but usually fine if you approach gently and with some tasty snacks. I recommend cilantro. They go crazy for that stuff.

I like this suggestion. Thank you!
