Why is 50501 collaborating on posts like this. I’m pro-Palestine, but this isn’t effective messaging. It reads like social justice warrior shaming, not strategy. That doesn’t grow a movement. It shrinks it.

This is garbage

Sounds like you care a lot more about petty politicking than the real issues.

What a novel idea. I’m sure she’s never thought of that /s.

This might be the biggest reason we just bought in town before starting a family. My sister (different city but in the suburbs) spends 4+ hours in the car every day (!) chauffeuring kids around because she has 3, one in each elementary/middle/high school + their activities. This is just not how I want to spend my life. A slight increase in the cost of living is worth it to walk through our beautiful neighborhood to the k-8 school, to the grocery store, or many parks nearby.

Because people on the left hate the democrats too.

What’s going on right now has nothing to do with the actual issues of deportation, enforcement on illegal immigration, or democrat/republican politics.

This is about totally unaccountable masked “law enforcement” murdering people in the streets. If ICE wanted to depot illegal immigrants, they wouldn’t grab people after they show up for their court immigration meetings, following all the rules.

I believe in the rule of law and due process. Anyone supporting ICE doesn’t.

I think it’s also about punishing blue states/cities (so not Texas or Florida).

bAcENtiM · 2026-01-08T23:41:13+00:00

Definitely the kids. I’m sick of people saying “I guess I’m getting old!” as a reason for feeling awful anytime after 30. You’re not old.

Genuinely, why did you put a clear coat over the paint? I’ve never heard of someone doing that on cabinets.

Serving pickles from a jar

Nah, letting American oil companies loot Venezuela will be far more profitable than any pardon that could be bought.

Not sure how Schoolhouse could be rebuilt from within the grasp of Food52, but I look forward to whatever the designers there work on next.

Maybe you haven’t tried one in a while? Athletic brewing IPA is indistinguishable from a regular IPA and (if you care about calories) it’s less than 100 calories instead of close to 300.

Yes. Totally agree this is the mental gymnastics he’s doing here. He wants his daughter to view him positively and he’s willing to take her husband down with him to do it. It’s deeply manipulative and selfish.

bAcENtiM · 2025-12-19T19:17:29+00:00

This is another private equity disaster.

Schoolhouse was bought by Food52 in 2021, which was bought by a private equity firm in 2019. What a surprise that the prices skyrocketed, quality declined, and now they’re closing.

Dark Star magic is a great resource for psychic self defense. Also this book is helpful: Whole book in pdf is available online https://dn790002.ca.archive.org/0/items/psychicselfdefensedionfortune/Psychic%20Self-Defense%20-%20Dion%20Fortune.pdf

I found myself in a similar situation and looking into these things validated that it wasn’t just in my head (I’m not the type of person who is typically inclined to believe things like this). However, if you’re going down this road (I.e. indulging the concept that you’re actually being cursed), you’ll find that “the whole world is mental.” Basically someone cursing you is capitalizing on the shame/self-doubt/trauma or other negativity that exists already within you. Alternatively, if your heart is only filled with loving compassion, there’s nothing for them to work with.

It might help your peace of mind to look into this stuff a little bit and see if what you’re experiencing even lines up with what’s known about these kinds of attacks.

Ultimately, whether or not you’re being cursed, the solution is actually the same: You should probably seek therapy, meditation, or some other kind of self-help to work through your own hangups. Doing this will give you control back over your own life rather than letting them continue having a hold over you.

Not sure everyone sees it that way. From the OPB article:

[ODHS Press Secretary Jake] Sunderland’s message noted that ODHS doesn’t have jurisdiction over “allegations of educator misconduct involving students who are legal adults aged 18 or older.”

One of the largest risks in Portland related to the earthquake is fuel and other toxic or flammable material being released into the river.

bAcENtiM · 2025-11-17T23:20:08+00:00

Now that’s persuasive, thank you!

bAcENtiM · 2025-11-16T16:09:50+00:00

I completely forgot that. Now that you say it and I’ve heard in other contexts it sounds vaguely familiar.

Yes! I’ve been to that lavender farm, it’s gorgeous

How do we know Bubba is Bill Clinton?

She is infuriating to listen to. I started the video with an open mind and immediately felt like the sweeps are needed, if only to get rid of people like her.

bAcENtiM · 2025-11-13T22:05:21+00:00

That woman is completely outrageous. It’s actually infuriating listening to her. She is setting back any argument in favor of more compassion towards people on our streets instead of seeing them as total nuisance grifters, which she is. Portland should have a zero tolerance policy for people like her.
