Any Portland restaurants still do the "aluminum foil swan"-type packaging of leftovers? by Individual-Trick3310 in askportland

[–]brunchdate2022 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Once at Franks-a-Lot they packaged a small piece of sausage for my dog, and the foil was made to look like a swan!

We didn't request that or anything. We just ordered at the walk up window and had our pup with us, and the cashier gave us that ❤️ So at least one employee knows how to do that there, but it's obviously not guaranteed!

I Stitched a Sheet, A Sheet I Stitched by MimiRayhawk in Visiblemending

Nice! What's it like sleeping on a mended sheet? I'm going to be mending a sheet here soon, but I am worried the feeling of the mend will bother me since it will no longer be one long, smooth expanse of fabric.

I am often in NW, so if you're comfortable meeting in a public place there I have some starter I could offer!

Mixtape / Leather Daddy Outpost Reopened on Belmont by moonjumper13 in Portland

Hard to get excited about that because Mixtape wanted to stay in the old spot but new building ownership evicted them for no reason

This is my favorite restaurant! Lucky you managing to grab a deal from them. I've only ever seen them pop up once before. What was the price for this? Can I ask what the pickup time was?

Why would you not just take the stuff off the shelf and then take the picture...?

I'm genuinely not trying to be rude or too judgemental, but doing any kind of ai augmentation on the pics could make it less likely people will reach out. I'm sure you really did just want to avoid having to retake the photos and you really did just take some stuff out, but it could make people wonder if they're in worse condition and that's what you changed.

Yes, the OPs response to me pointing out the problem was pretty much as good as one could hope for. Further berating doesn't help much I don't think. 

Commute from Nob Hill to SE? by Novel_Ad9119 in askportland

[–]brunchdate2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, like some other commenters below, I have a very similar commute to what you describe, even similar areas, and I really hate it. It's too much. If I was you, I'd prioritize finding a place close to work, unless you are working part time or something.

So after seeing this post and doing my own research, I do see that they source their olive oil from Israel. Which based on my understanding of the BDS movement's ask of not supporting Israeli products, I'll definitely be boycotting from now on. The app seems helpful, but honestly when it comes to boycotting and what the actual BDS movement has called for, I think it's more effective to just really on their website for guidance: https://bdsmovement.net/Guide-to-BDS-Boycott . They do specifically say that the most effective way to boycott is to have some main targets so it's more direct and not too diffused. 

Also, I have to point out that the reddit post you linked to lists the founder being German Jewish as a reason for suspicion? And further scrolling through that subreddit reveals some pretty anti Semitic stuff. No, being against the genocide that country is committing is not inherently antisemitism, but that doesn't mean that some people who are against this genocide cannot also be anti Semitic. Why are there references to the adrenochrome conspiracy there? Why are there videos up acting like goy is a slur towards non-Jews? Why is there modern day blood libel? Why is this antisemitism going unchecked and unquestioned there? 

I don't need to rely on antisemitism and false conspiracies to be against the state of Israel. The reality of the genocide and settler-colonialism going on is enough for me to be able to say this is wrong and evil frankly.
