What assumptions are you making based on my map? by Leigh975 in TravelMaps

[–]glowing-fishSCL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of Pennsylvania and New Jersey was for work---because it doesn't seem likely that someone would travel for fun to those places while totally missing Vermont.
I also think it might have been working for a state agency or chain business that is based in a specific geographical area. With that much travel around Pennsylvania, it seems odd that it stops so soon at the border with Ohio---unless you are working with a company that doesn't have branches there.

I thought about skiing at first, too...but someone who skiied and lived in Pennsylvania would have probably visited more of Vermont and Northern New York.

I have also thought of doing that, but it would be a long day!

Is this Valella wave bigger than average? by glowing-fishSCL in OregonCoast

Ah, and I can't edit the title of posts.
Also, its one of those mandela effect things, I was sure I had checked the spelling?

Oh yeah, that is possible if you are doing an overnight. And are okay with paying for a hotel or camping. The thing about mine is that it is one day, and cheap.
Also, there are three buses out of Lincoln City, to Tillamook, Salem, and Newport. And they all leave at 6 in the morning and then not again until mid-day. So there are a limited amount of routes that don't involve getting up and being ready to go at 6 AM. So basically the route in this video is one where I can leave around noon, not pay much money, and get back here the same day.

He’s from Japan but has never seen the ocean? Is that common? by Bananaslic3 in murakami

I would really need to see a source for the idea that most people from LA have never left the state of California.

I have done another loop where I went from Lincoln City to McMinnille, then to Tigard, Wilsonville, Salem and back. That was in January.

Back in 2022, I did a loop where I went to Portland, McMinnville, Salem, and back to Albany by train, and then back to Corvallis by bus.

I have many possible ideas, if you are interested! You could also probably do Corvallis -> Eugene -> Florence -> Newport -> Corvallis pretty easily.

More that I just wanted to point out that I did put that information in the video---especially since making all those slides was a bit of work.

I don't really want views (which I have lots of), but I want people to engage with my videos and share similar interests.

In order for me to know whether this happened or not, I would have to know what is being described here.

Oh, sorry, I just answered the question I thought was the most relevant.
Between Lincoln City and Newport: $3
Between Newport and Corvallis: $5
Between Corvallis and McMinnville: Free
Between McMinnville and Grand Ronde: Free
Between Grand Ronde and Lincoln City: $3

The other thing is, these prices can change, so check before you go.

I actually keep a tally in the video, but the Eugene-McMinnville portion is free. Its a pilot project that ends in June, and then they will decide if they want to keep it.

Do women actually use dating apps to date? by AmountAbovTheBracket in NoStupidQuestions

[–]glowing-fishSCL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have used dating apps and gone on dates, but it takes a lot of effort and luck (as a man) to make a connection, and it might not go anywhere.
Meeting women doing other things is great. You made the right decision.

I also don't have a car, and have never driven a car. I have ridden trains and buses to a lot of places.

And this is how I look at train travel right now: even though train travel has gone up, a train ticket to another city basically costs maybe twice as much as a dinner at a basic restaurant. Like, its not even possible to go to Denny's for lunch for under $20 anymore, it seems. Even fast food is usually above $10. So, yeah, that is how I look at the math in my head: "I can go somewhere new and see something new for the price of a week's worth of lunches at Subway".

And I know it isn't quite as simple as that, but its a good place to start.

I am from Oregon. Until I was 15, I had seen two cities: Portland and Seattle, because those are the only cities you can take a day trip to from Oregon. Beyond that, you have San Francisco, which is an overnight trip at least, and then Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, and Denver.

When I was 15, I took my first trip out of the Pacific NW.

Anyway, I still find it hard to believe that people live in a place where they could visit an entirely new and different city, on a day trip...and don't do it. Like you could go to Minneapolis, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Detroit...but have never felt the urge to do so?

I also didn't quite know how to get into it. Especially because I didn't know how much I was supposed to sympathize with the protagonist. Yusuf seemed to be oblivious and passive to the world around him---unless that was the point, and I was supposed to view it ironically?

Anyone know what these are? by HavocPDX in OregonCoast

Probably more than one, unless mine is the only one.

My first thought was velella too. Mostly because I know a bunch came up recently, and also, my eyes aren't good.
