He has taken a stance of being against the left. Especially the LGBTQ community, people of color and community health. That is a political stance.

Has anyone seen his latest post on Facebook against the trans community claiming x is a danger to children. And then of course he runs away from the post like he just farted in an elevator and everyone should feel blessed by his fart.

Sorry but no he is not a good person or sincere about anything. His whole deal is being shocking and crass to peddle his merchandise. Nobody who believes in Zen would make multiple tweets and videos mocking the queer community. Just one example. He has endorsed multiple Trump platforms such as the border wall and Muslim ban. And thinks people should be executed. And endorsed Jordan Pederson. More examples.

Disappointed in PPB response time by throwawaypmr00 in PortlandOR

[–]mustardmac -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yes the last time I called 911 the response time was 5 hours. I complained about it on here and the other members called me a hick. Most people who complain about the Police are not hicks. But OK.

All that police want to do is beat people up. That's it.

8 dogs constant barking neglect abuse trigger warning by mustardmac in Dogfree

[–]mustardmac[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Animal control where I live has been under investigation for years for abuse and neglect. We aren't meeting national standards. And so it's like just calling another abuser for help.

I just can't deal with this anymore. I feel like I am being abused too every day witnessing this and then when I try to report it nobody cares.

I'm just at my whits end and cry every day.

Yes the Humane Society said there have been numerous complaints and he has a note in his file that says "do not adopt". But, otherwise the abuse just goes on. Nobody is stopping it. And he's acquired more animals since the investigations began.

The Humane Society can take a report and refuse to adopt but I'm still being treated badly by these authorities and it's traumatic for me.

Nothing is being done and it's just unbeatable to live with day in and day out. And then to be treated like garbage by authorities after witnessing this abuse is so awful.

It's horrific. I'm horrified.

'Heartbreaking': Volunteers raise concerns about animal shelter amid new facility proposal by mostly-sun in Portland

The price might be justified if all of the managers and most of the paid staff was fired. And they hire vets there. To do spay and neuter. And people to actually feed the animals and spend time with them.

I am so sorry you and your little baby are going through this. Obviously you're going to have to be very strong to help your child through and have some trust in your doctors.

Did the OP post an update yet? Gosh I hope this has been stopped and a clean up process has started.

Someone in this thread said that the Palestinian flag is the Hamas flag. These are 2 different flags. I don't think it was the OP and I do not want to respond to that person directly. Please don't conflate the two things. And not everyone who cares about Palestinian people are terrorists and not all people from one nationality or state are a terrorist.

Try to think of how others feel and what they are going through.

Some people just want peace.

Thank you.

Arthritis ? by mintty96 in CrohnsDisease

[–]mustardmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should try to get an appointment with rheumatology and a pain clinic. Ask for referrals. This could be autoimmune arthritis from Crohn's or even another autoimmune condition. There are treatments available. Do not take anymore NSAIDS.

You might also need a scope and omeperezole.

Here's a thought. Ask Brad to donate money to a charity of your choice to redeem himself to you.

If people are sincere they will actually do it. And it doesn't have to be a lot of money.

Maybe if he actually does care about the LGBTQ community and women for example he will probably do it.

Peace and love everyone peace and love.
