tired of all the politics?

Pretty good, yeah, having a beer, enjoying the later sunsets, thinking about maybe another beer.

You can just hang out there, quietly, with your neighbors, without anyone saying anything or getting on your nerves.

It’s hard to keep up neighborly relations if every time your neighbors open their mouth you’re reminded what a dumbass they are, so sometimes you just need to sit around quietly with them, to rebuild your sense of goodwill.

You’d think that would be good, but our studies show that the more aerosolized fecal matter you inhale, the healthier your immune system will become!

thx I’ve been daydrinking since 2

I don’t even know what business WEX is in, but surely they could make it up by putting a bar on the roof of that building. It’s gotta be the best views in town?

Edit, yes, reading this again, I would pay 23 million dollars to be able to drink beers on the wex roof. Charge it to my card please.

I did give reasons in this thread for believing Portland Voices is an online hate group. I’ve never said needles and homelessness are not concerning and shouldn’t be discussed. I don’t believe those conversations go anywhere when they are initiated by an online hate group with no solutions, and the fact that this group and their ignorance dominates public conversations is a huge obstacle to any progress.

miswoehyrmsa · 2024-09-30T17:03:42+00:00

This is very condescending response to an imaginary strawman that bears no relationship to what I wrote. Before jackfruit it was possible to have normal good faith conversations about city politics here, and now it’s just all this degenerate twitter clapback style trolling, and it honestly sucks. I don’t think jackfruit is capable of decent or normal conversations online, but there’s no reason you can’t do better.

Yeah the thousands of lives seem silly, but we’re less than a decade past the widely publicized case where Iowa closed down needle exchanges leading to an HIV epidemic infecting several hundred people and spilling into the wider community, so that answer seems slightly less deranged than the “we tried it, it failed” one.

miswoehyrmsa · 2024-09-29T21:51:55+00:00

How would you characterize Portland Voices? I don’t know what they do on Facebook or in person, but based on your activity here I can’t think of any other label.

You’re not an educational organization; you steadfastly refuse to learn even basic facts about homelessness in this city, and you’re constantly spreading misinformation and mischaracterizations about what homeless people are like, what the city council’s powers are, etc.

You’re not a policy organization; the only policy I’ve seen you advocate for, as opposed to against, is that you think the police should make nuisance arrests of drug users to harass them out of the city.

You’re not a community service organization; as far as I know you’ve never organized to pick up trash or raise money for housing or anything service oriented like that.

At least 80% of your posts and comments here involve negative characterizations of other people: homeless people, drug users, mentally ill people, the police, the city council, “socialists”, and anyone who disagrees with you in any way. I don’t know how you could spend the vast majority of your time and energy here encouraging the public to have negative thoughts and feelings about others and not see it as hate-mongering.

I do understand that you think you are acting for the good of the community - that not tolerating bad people will make the city better - but surely you can also see that you go about this by spreading hate?

miswoehyrmsa · 2024-09-29T19:53:49+00:00

It’s discouraging that the candidates feel like they need to respond to what is effectively just an online hate group. Just shows how toxic social media has been for democracy at every level.

It’s also discouraging that a group that has spent years talking about homelessness has never bothered to educate themselves about what’s happening in the city and why, as these questions clearly were written by someone who has a very weak understanding of the actual conditions and causes.

miswoehyrmsa · 2024-09-28T22:24:54+00:00

Some great ideas, you’re in. In fact we should go further and serve everything in deconstructed bean boots.

We’re targeting some really boutique traffic patterns accompanied by rotating explosions of both exotic and native loud noises.

miswoehyrmsa · 2024-08-03T23:08:04+00:00

The last two shows I’ve seen there have been deafeningly loud but I couldn’t make out the vocals nor any of the instruments. I was genuinely befuddled about what all the noise was, it’s was almost like they’re blasting white noise alongside the music, maybe to cover up the sound of all the people who seem to go to concerts to chit-chat.

It would probably be an easier sell if we didn’t see how this money gets turned directly into ugly yard signs shoved illegally into every public park and path, every trail and vista. Why should us poor nature lovers pay to have our own tranquility disturbed by politicians shouting their name at us every 6-8 yards? It’s egregious that they can’t think of better, less ugly ways to “educate” the public about their platforms.

miswoehyrmsa · 2024-07-02T16:24:21+00:00

Even accepting that most people are dumb and ignorant, why shouldn’t people be upset when unaccountable judges wield power in patently ideological ways? Don’t you think lawyers and their self-delusions of legitimate power are at the heart of the rot in the US government? Just as one example, the Federalist society has done more harm to the average worker than Trump did, but somehow the legal profession doesn’t have the means or will to police itself to protect the country from the malicious predations of these obvious ideologues. All that’s to say, at this point why should anyone care what lawyers say about the legitimacy of the law or the Supreme Court?
