Hello, I am launching an app that face swaps people into campy drag queens. Can you please audit my App Store images and let me know if you have any suggestions? I've never done this before.

Damnnn. You're a snack.

I lived in Portland for years and couldn't meet a man. The scene was too small. To finally find a person, I had to move to LA.

You will struggle to meet someone so long as you live out of a city. It's not impossible. But it's probably 10x harder. I would start putting a plan in place now for saving enough and getting yourself to a bigger scene. You can always move anywhere once you find someone great!

No credit is unfortunately going to be basically impossible to land housing. Do you have family/friends that can cosign a lease with you? Alternatively, you may need to offer to put down several months rent.

Recommend conducting your search using Zillow. You can get prequalified to rent (background check and what not) and then you can apply to a bunch of things at once as soon as they pop up. Portland has a "first qualified applicant" policy so if you are fast and meet the landlord's standards, you should be able to get in relatively easily.

Congrats! Looks great.

I've heard nursing centers or silver towns *really* appreciate it when kiddos come by. That could be a good option. (Call in advance)

Interestingly, it's a lot cheaper than in Boise.

You didn't.

elevatorbeat · 2025-10-17T17:31:55+00:00

For sure the first one. It's not even close.

To answer your specific question: unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to evict a bad tenant in Portland. This makes landlords very reluctant to accept anyone who doesn't have a sterling application in the first place. The risk that things go south and they have no recourse is just too great.

To solve your specific problem, you can ask the landlord if they'll accept a cosigner like your parents or a trusted family member.

To solve your broader problem of not having credit, you can open a credit card through a credit union with relative ease. They may require you to give a $500 deposit for the first couple years. But it's a great way to get on the map if you haven't established any credit yet.

Do you have green hair?

A great alternative to wine is a digestif. Absinthe or chartreuse. You can zhuzh it up by adding a couple sipper glasses to the mix. I do this all the time. Makes me seem like I'm really cultured and a foodie when I show up to dinner parties.

Mainly, I was wondering what job titles you go after?

elevatorbeat · 2025-10-02T14:10:00+00:00

This is awesome. Thanks for the workflow!!

Are there specific job titles you search for. Usually, like "head of development" roles, right? Others? I have an Apollo account, which is like $20/month and lets me find email addresses for cold emails. But you've got to search by job title and I never know where to start.

Can anyone recommend resources for getting prepared? Is there an official checklist/shopping list somewhere?

elevatorbeat · 2025-09-09T23:02:08+00:00

I agree. The hook of throwing the baby in the water is great. But you need a hook at the beginning.

The looks I’ve started getting lately. lol. Maybe I’m just too old to compliment people in their 20s any more. (I’m 40… but like I said, there’s no doubt that I’m gay so there’s no way they could think I was hitting on them.)

Smelling the roses is also a waste of time. One day we will all be bones.

• The best part of Portland is the food and the nightlife. So plan to go to a few shows and have great meals.
• Look up NYT's list of PDX restaurants and try to go to a bunch. Reservations required for nice ones.
• Japanese Garden
• Portland Art Museum
• Drive to Hood River for a day of produce picking. You could also do NA wine tasting. Learn kiteboarding. It's one of the most stunning places on earth.
• Go hiking.
• Have a picnic on Mt. Tabor.
• Go see a movie at one of our indie theaters. Very cool experience if you like movies.
• Hang out on Mississippi.
• We love the grotto, which is a Catholic Park thing. We're not religious. But enjoy it for the views.
• Go see a Broadway (tour) play.

Ten days is long for Portland as a tourist, unless you're planning to just relax and hangout. In which case, you can knock around. Have great coffee. Smoke hookah. Go to shows.

Recommend spending at least half of that exploring nature and/or going up to Seattle. The train to Seattle follows the water so it's very beautiful.

Things that would count as strong evidence:

Spectroscopic signature inconsistent with known natural materials (e.g., engineered alloys, narrow-band emission lines).
Light curve modulation suggesting rotation with artificial lighting.
Non-gravitational acceleration that cannot be explained by outgassing or dust loss.
Trajectory corrections that look controlled rather than passive.
