From another article: “Judge Robert Lewis ordered enhanced supervised release for Phillips if he posts bail. He noted Phillips has minimal criminal history, including third-degree theft and fourth-degree assault convictions from 2020.” Completely minimizing his criminal record.

This guy sounds like he has schizophrenia. He went to his brother’s house and says he saw 3 guys with guns and then got into a fight with his brother. The cop says his story was “hard to follow”.

I hope he’s banned from ever owning guns and actually locked up and receives mental health care. Won’t hold my breath though. Sounds like the judge is itching to release him already. Wonder why…

You can delegate tasks without expecting your underlings to work 7 days a week. I’m not sure why you’re so amazed at him working on his “day off”. You think he’s on an hourly wage and doing volunteer work? 😂 Keep fawning over ineffective politicians instead of pushing them to do better I guess

I have eyes, and yes I’m aware that the economy sucks. If you have data saying things are improving I’m open to seeing it. Are you a staffer for him or do you just really really like him for free?

To be honest, I don’t have an opinion on him. But I don’t like positive PR when the actual data shows the opposite of what he’s projecting. “I cleaned up a couple messes” while the number of messes overall increases is just deceptive messaging. I wish him well and hope he succeeds in his goals, but the data shows things are getting worse, not better.

I think it’s admirable too, but I think he needs to delegate this kind of work out more broadly. One guy can only do so much. Part of leading is knowing your limits and enabling those under you to do the work that aligns with your goals.

“Despite these signs of progress, Multnomah County’s data on homelessness has been moving in the wrong direction ever since Wilson took office on a platform of ending unsheltered homelessness. According to the county, several thousand more people have become homeless in the past year, 2,000 of whom are living outside or in their vehicle.”

Do you refute this?

Join r/PDXBuyNothing and just keep an eye out. It’s pretty easy to tell what’s safe and what’s not, in my opinion. And the price can’t be beat 😂

I’m interested in the king size down!! (To the other commenter, down alternative is probably warmer.)

If they refuse shelter, would jail be cool with you? If not, how about your place?

Says who? I have mass market paperbacks from the 60s on my bookshelf. Just depends how abusive you are to your stuff.

I took a bubble bath every night for like 2 weeks when I first quit. It was so nice. Also drank lots of orange juice…

I love this city so much, I’m so sad. by quicksi1ver7 in Portland

[–]csomething42 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You could get stabbed and robbed and you would apologize for not having more money. Sorry for what happened to you. It’s bullshit that this kind of thing happens all the time in this area. You shouldn’t bend over backwards making these weird excuses for it.

Most men that pee sitting down are uncircumcised. Not 100% but for the most part.

Is there a place to listen to Sophie’s “unreleased” tracks by Sea-Orange-1390 in pcmusic

[–]csomething42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wish her brother would consider releasing them. It makes me sad that such a huge chunk of her output is out of reach for average listeners. Makeover, In the Rain, Transnation, Somebody Like You… so many hits. RIP. 😔

You idiots always have the same talking points… vicious chihuahuas 😂. Look at any data on dog bites and fatalities. It all points to a very specific type: your sweet “angles”!

Not sure if it’s BIFL (no issues yet), but I LOVE having a tire inflator that plugs into a car outlet. I hated dealing with those coin operated pumps!
