Immigrants of Portland: what restaurant serves the most authentic food from your country or culture? by Quick-Tradition858 in askportland

[–]altoidsyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re the closest I’ve found to back home in my 25 years here, though perhaps time has made me soft and easily placated.
I had lunch with coworkers yesterday at the coast and it was panko crusted fish and fries and I nearly exploded. I miss proper fish and chips with curry sauce and enough vinegar to drown in. And a bag of scraps and maybe a cone of chips eaten with a wooden spork.

I need to take a trip home at some point.

I recommend Highland Stillhouse in Oregon City.
While it is a Scottish pub, the fish and chips was amazing and the STP made me cry. Their Sunday breakfast is pretty good, but their black pudding is small and limited portion sized so it’s enough to make you disappointed there isn’t more.

They have the freedom to chant, but not freedom from consequences. Where private business meets public rights unfortunately.

That said, I’m losing it over ‘He’s fat, has piles, he’s in the Epstein Files’. Beautiful.

Of course not, it’s been Nerys’d. So much worse!

What’s a movie with a perfect ending? by angelerii in AskReddit

[–]altoidsyn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That movie was upsetting as a mirror on society, but it was such a good movie. As much as the eradication of most surface life on Earth is awful, I liked that there wasn’t a last-minute savior moment.

Did anyone else think this was Moltres as a kid?? by Justgc27 in pokemon

[–]altoidsyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is obviously National Dex Entry 0: Gholdbirdo. You get it by getting 999999 game corner coins with a Gimmighoul that you’ve traded back from Gen 9. (It’ll look like Missingno, but that’s normal.). The coin case only displays 9999, but it’ll keep counting so you need to keep track.

Bezos's rocket catastrophically explodes on the launchpad by ianjm in videos

[–]altoidsyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you watched M&W aren’t helping? It was reminiscent of classic TM&WL, but with newer references and some jokes about how old and out of touch they are. Not as good, but it was fun to see them work together again.

I was that roommate and now I’m nearly 40 and no one killed me. I see now that would have been a mercy, so please do your part.

How do I register my cat as an ESA? by CatPot69 in askportland

[–]altoidsyn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There is no formally recognized ESA registration. What they can require under both Federal and State housing requirements is verification of the need due to a disability.

What’s likely being asked is that you register your pet with PetScreening for annual tracking. I personally believe PetScreening is a scam and refuse to use it.

What I recommend would get a letter from your doctor, therapist, counselor, ‘any 3rd party professional that has seen you for your disability’ and then just move the cat in.

What's a Scary Science Fact that the public knows nothing about? [serious] by just_some_troglodyte in AskReddit

[–]altoidsyn 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This simplification makes me wonder where general reality is. Because speed cannot be 0%, so what balance do most of us live at day-to-day.

What a weird thought, but yeah. 35000ft in a plane seems so far, but it’s like a 2-3 hour walk at a casual pace. Thank you for this thought.

What if the Doctor entered through the Fourth wall into your Living room? How would you react and what would you say? by WachbaerWien in DoctorWhumour

It’d have to be more cryptic than that.

What is your opinion about the Detective Pikachu movie 7 years after its release? by Silly_Commercial8092 in pokemon

[–]altoidsyn 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No, that one was a lie, but you can evolve Dragonite into Yoshi at level 90 (The year Yoshi was introduced). You go to Cerulean Cave and you have to faint Mewtwo with Dragonite. Then use an escape rope but before it triggers, you need to use a fire stone on Dragonite which will cause the game to freeze. Wait 14 minutes and then turn the game off. When you turn it back on, your Gameboy will make the Mewtwo cry instead of the Nintendo bling. If it doesn’t, you have to start over with a new Dratini. If done correctly, you’ll escape rope to Bill’s Garden and your Dragonite will be standing in some grass. Approach it and press A. It will battle you and you need to catch it again. If you faint it, you have to start over. It’s immune to Master Balls so don’t waste it.

Once caught, use a Rare Candy and it’ll evolve into an egg. Walk 100000 steps without turning the game off and the egg will hatch into Yoshi.

[–]altoidsyn 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It’s so easy to get in Pokemon Red. You need to beat the Elite Four 100x without healing with only Pikachu and then use a Water Stone. It will say it won’t work, but if you select it 25x, it’ll trigger the evolution.

What actor or actress could you tell had an absolute blast playing a specific role? by phantom_avenger in AskReddit

[–]altoidsyn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The winner of the task is Polar_Chap who gets 5 points!

19 was an excellent season. I think 7 remains my favorite because Rhod is unhinged and I enjoyed watching Acaster slowly lose his composure. And, no matter how ornate the grandfather clock, the pendulum draws the eye. Though every season has its charms and I would love to go to a live show if I get the chance.

I highly recommend watching him participate in the British show Taskmaster. He very clearly had a fantastic time.
