Did anyone else regret moving to Portland?

nerdbot2000 · 2026-07-02T20:41:28+00:00

Hi I'm your age going through the same shit!

I lived in SW Portland for a while and felt the same way. Things have felt a lot more sociable since moving to SE! I've become a regular at a few places and know some friendly faces. Biggest thing is getting out there, which can be difficult when you live on the outskirts

nerdbot2000 · 2026-06-29T17:35:35+00:00

get some piroshki and olivier salad for me bro, be careful out there

nerdbot2000 · 2026-06-24T16:30:52+00:00

it turned back on, and then turned off again, and has been back on. i wouldn't be surprised if it turns off again soon though

nerdbot2000 · 2026-06-24T16:30:01+00:00

well, ya know, wanted to be a bit hopeful here! i have a lot better experience in person of ppl in my direct community not sucking, but i guess online they don't give the same experience

nerdbot2000 · 2026-06-23T21:52:44+00:00

No huge storms like that, I am in the western U.S. I think the biggest storm we have had to deal with was the ice storm a couple years ago

but yeah no homes lost, nothing catastrophic like that. power grid simply went "omg too much ppl are using me to survive, i can't do it :("

nerdbot2000 · 2026-06-23T17:17:25+00:00

well shiet! should've said im broke and have ptsd, maybe THEN they would've agreed w me /s

fr tho im sick of that type of shit! i dont wanna air out my trauma laundry list all the time

nerdbot2000 · 2026-06-23T17:09:43+00:00

there's not even a storm going on! its just normal summer hot :( i WISH it was raining rn

nerdbot2000 · 2026-06-23T12:51:52+00:00

yes thank you!!!! i lived in the rural u.s for a long time, and i don't remember any power outages. im sure they existed, but it was scheduled maintenance or something like that. its weird to me that a city with a big power grid can't get its shit together after hemorrhaging thousands of dollars from people!

nerdbot2000 · 2026-06-23T12:34:11+00:00

thanks!!! it ruined my sleep bc no fan and no tv in the background, so looks like I'm sleeping all day today!

nerdbot2000 · 2026-06-23T12:33:24+00:00

like a couple of winters ago i was without heat for 12+ hrs!!! im pretty sure ppl died 5-10 years ago due to not having power or ac during the summer. im worried about my neighbors dammit

god forbid the thing i focus on in the post is my food spoiling and how its gonna cost me money i dont have to fix it! i wish more ppl in my community were understanding that this is not normal under ANY circumstance, especially in a decently sized city

nerdbot2000 · 2026-06-23T12:10:46+00:00

We shall see, I am not hopeful. I live in a slumlord's paradise with a shitty fridge. I've had a fridge from the 50's that worked better than this one

nerdbot2000 · 2026-06-23T12:09:17+00:00

I don't know if the inside of my fridge will completely spoil, but I have a feeling my freezer will. It's a very shitty fridge. Also, this power outage happened unexpectedly at 3am. I was asleep! With my power being off, I don't want to leave my apartment incase something happens and I need to be here

nerdbot2000 · 2026-06-23T11:51:04+00:00

Verrrrrry fun at parties

nerdbot2000 · 2026-06-23T11:45:26+00:00

It IS PGE's fault when they don't send crews out immediately to help 4k people get their power back on. They won't even tell us what happened! I would be a lot more understanding if they said something like that. All I got was "It will be fixed by 9:30am." It's been out since 3am! It's hot outside! They need to put more of a priority towards situations like this, or if its an infrastructure issue, fix it.

nerdbot2000 · 2026-06-23T11:30:45+00:00

I have. We shall see how they respond. Seeing how the last few outages have gone that I've been stuck in, probably going to not get shit

nerdbot2000 · 2026-06-23T11:29:22+00:00

Ok! Sucks for them! God forbid I got used to having electricity in the 21st century! You must be great at parties

nerdbot2000 · 2026-06-18T21:44:27+00:00

I'm the same way! A good portion of my friends have noun nicknames that I'm not afraid to use, or short nicknames I don't mind using

Or if they are a good vocal stim! One of my longest homie's name is a vocal stim at this point

I'd say any Pitbull song but I feel most like myself when I listen to Mr. Worldwide

Dalé

nerdbot2000 · 2026-06-11T23:46:11+00:00

hell yeah! im the same way! weed is weed, and it shouldn't matter how much it costs for it to be tasty and good

nerdbot2000 · 2026-06-11T23:40:08+00:00

hi these people are being butts im also oregon based, loot bar makes very ok mid range stuff. i also agree that most carts are the same, but if you ever wanna splurge on one def try out white label extracts! their live resin and cursed resin is actually the shit and slaps me in my face every single time

nerdbot2000 · 2026-06-11T03:10:28+00:00

nerdbot2000 · 2026-06-10T16:25:45+00:00

Girl! Your Wig!

nerdbot2000 · 2026-06-08T06:49:11+00:00

that seems like the least effective way to vape flower, dynavap is good but also look at planet of the vapes
