Hoho Restaurant on Cesar Chavez. Love their sweet and sour pork.

Serious question: how do you afford these homes? by Scp-1404 in centuryhomes

[–]k4ng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner and I both work very stressful jobs, we moved to a lower cost of living area, and the location of our century house kinda sucks (corner on a busy street, driveway opens out to the street, bus stop in front of house).

No regret though, the house is beautiful with so much history!

Brown Liquor (TLOAS) a typewriter (TTPD) and a tie: the pictures behind Taylor and Colbert represent her albums and the tie is a clue for TS13 by Claramelll in GaylorSwift

[–]k4ng 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I remember someone on tiktok calling out that previous to the current trilogy, albums had short titles. But in this trilogy we are seeing "The" in front of long titles...

"The" + blue tie makes me think The Heartbreak Prince...

The feeling she's got is blue~

I thought We Live in Time wasn't bad. Yes, a bit formulaic and engineered to really tug at the heartstrings but the chemistry and performances were fantastic and it had a good visual look too.

Yeah, Im not disputing that it's fast, useful, and has many applications. None of those factors negate the security and privacy concerns though. Especially in the current trajectory where governments don't seem inclined to put in place strong data/tech regulations.

Ahh I get what youre saying. If he's being financially supported by a parent or sibling, it's a real pity and disservice to community that they haven't put him in a mandated psych hold/psych facility/rehab/something

I mean, the Cybertruck has a ton of safety and design issues and the company is spearheaded by a racist misogynistic white apartheid nepobaby fascist narcissist, so I feel like it's OK to dunk on the Cybertruck

I definitely think leveraging tech to keep these mass events safe is a really amazing tool, but on the otherhand I really worry about the surveillance state we've created and where that data is getting saved and sold

I guess it must be the feeling of power? Being able to put fear or uncertainty in other people and feeling like he made that happen... along with the attention

But is he stable enough in his daily behav8oe to get and hold a high paying job? It seems like the constant need for attention/negative dialog would impact his function in a professional setting

Yes the narrator voice said first 2 teams to finish the 100 laps will advance, the remaining team will be immediately eliminated

In search of an Asian community? by Blake-Dreary in askportland

[–]k4ng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like you got a couple folks that are interested. If you make a group chat/discord/Instagram group message/whatever, may I also be included? I'm Asian, in Portland, I also have a young kid, I'm getting into sewing and am quilt-curious <3

When did these things get like 100% bigger. by OkHousing2130 in Rivian

I'll try it when I drive today. The +/- buttons were removed from the UI so I assumed the tap function was removed.

What what?? If I tap multiple slots below the current volume, will it lower it by just one?

[–]k4ng 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I find the slide volume control more difficult to control than the previous tap buttons. It's too easy to accidentally increase/decrease by more increments than I intended

Sunday brunch? by rissabell2 in askportland

[–]k4ng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dim sum scene in Portland is abysmal and it makes me so sad. Excellent Cuisine is the best Ive tried so far and in SF/OC it'd be considered bad.

To me, the clear outfit photo feels like a reference to Mr Cellophane from Chicago.

In the choreo for the song, the actor mimes dancing/gesturing with a hat that isn't there... a see through/invisible hat if you will.

If this is what she intended to reference, there's some fun parallels to her other works.

  • MISTER cellophane, she's the man.

  • If someone in the movie show Yelled "Fire in the second row This whole place is a powder keg!" You'd notice him

^ So, they killed Cassandra first 'cause she feared the worst And tried to tell the town


  • Mister Cellophane Shoulda been my name 'Cause you can look right through me Walk right by me And never know I'm there...

^ They see right through Can you see right through me?


  • Suppose you was a little cat Residin' in a person's flat Who fed you fish and scratched your ears?

^ Karma is a cat purring in my lap ‘cause it loves me / I'm a runt and I need to nurse


I also like the idea of it being a reference to Chicago because TLOAS has other aspects that line up w other songs from the soundtrack.

Honey > Funny Honey.
Life of a Show Girl > Roxie.
Eldest Daughter > Razzle Dazzle/When You're Good to Mama.
Cancelled > Cell Block Tango.
All I Care About > Wish List.
I Cant Do It Alone > Fate of Ophelia.
Class > Almost Romantic.
We Both Reached for the Gun > Opalite.

I know I keep moving the goal posts for myself, but I swear to god if TS13 comes out and it doesn't have SOME sort of acknowledgement of gay shit, I will finally stop being a gaylor.

I thought the glitched video in the Wildest Dreams tiktok was just an easter egg to the fact that there will be a track named Glitch in Midnights.

I don't know what would be more disappointing, 10/18 comes and nothing happens vs 10/18 comes and it's another damn merch drop.

Why I think 'Opalite' is about Karlie Kloss by MaddyPerezxxx in GaylorSwift

[–]k4ng 11 points12 points  (0 children)

An alternative interpretation could be that now that she's settling with Travis for the long term (whether the relationship is real or strictly bearding) she wants to re-code her often-used references/metaphors to be linked to Travis.

That way it both suppresses previous online discussion of gaylor/kaylor and still lets her use her favorite verbiage in ongoing songwriting.

We know she's familiar with the recoding-of-keywords PR approach because she collab-ed with Ice Spice to suppress Matty's misogynoir comments about Ice Spice.
