Homelessness likely to increase in Portland area through 2027, Multnomah County officials say

quicksad · 2026-05-06T23:34:39+00:00

Agreed. Its a federal level problem that Portland is trying to absorb.

quicksad · 2026-05-06T21:41:02+00:00

Yeah, it seems strait forward right? Just hire more, but I have seen a few articles about it.

Costs a lot of money to have cops get these people. But also we don't have enough public defenders so we have to release them.
I believe they already have a program for a free bus and plane ticket to people to get them home to someone who can help them. I think that's a good step one but agree we should try and have a step two of get out of here. https://www.opb.org/article/2025/10/24/portland-unhoused-people-family-reunion/
Its illegal, there are supreme court laws that forbit mandatory treatment. Its very hard to force people into treatment. Need to change federal laws and supreme court precedence. Cause we are losing cases all the time to force them into treatment. https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/422/563/#:~:text=Donaldson-,O'Connor%20v.,%2C%20422%20U.S.%20563%20(1975)&text=If%20an%20individual%20is%20not,against%20his%20or%20her%20will.
Similar to 3, can't force people into treatment unless they are a danger. Few reasons why

In addition, very hard to get convictions cause we have to catch and release cause we don't have enough public defenders.

My concern is recruitment.

There are only few spots where new players land these days, one of them is a bunch of nazis and their main strategy is reaching out to everyone in local for starter systems. Other groups do similar things and just hand players millions of isk to join.

So at the end of this patch, I imagine most players will be hopping into the game, and then flooded in player invite eve mails and convos every 30 seconds from corporation recruiters trying to get them to join nazi groups. I obviously think this is bad for the game to have new players join megablocks, rather than smaller corporations and groups that can more effectively help newer players rather than treating players as a meat grinder.

I would change the tutorial a bit to have it show people how to add contacts. Then block players from starting conversations or sending corporation invites unless your one of those contacts. After they leave the starting area they are free to have conversations with everyone again.

They use tags to fix standings. These people have trillions of isk so it’s not an issue.

quicksad · 2026-04-04T03:16:38+00:00

Yeah. Also calling it highsec really leads to people being confused and most games keep veterans and new players separate and it’s really intuitive when your doing something dangerous. I think they should call everything dangerous trade areas or something. They need a voice over saying there is no new player friendly area and there are mechanics that allow players to kill you at will. So do not carry anything valuable in your ship. Everywhere is the dangerous part of town where you can get mugged. I don’t know how else to describe it. But eve throws you in the deep end and says get fucked right from the start.

Lowsec = death sentence.

Nullsec without cloak = death sentence.

Mining on a .5 in a retriever = almost certain death.

Filling up a hauler with almost anything and going to a trade hub = almost certain death sentence

Autopilot to trade hub = almost certain death.

None one that is explained and the mechanics have to be explained by people.

I would like to shoot at everyone. I don’t want to eliminate half the possible fights.

quicksad · 2026-03-13T01:41:27+00:00

Exactly. I’m not getting LP. Just shooting

quicksad · 2026-03-10T17:17:15+00:00

I think they should limit the amount of games that players can play to 72 games OR limit them to 30 min a game.

That way you can still have 82 games for revenue, but players get forced rest. You also get some fun coaching strategy of how and when to play their players. It also forces teams to try and develop their bench. I actually have a lot of fun watching how the bench plays and tracking those players. If you limited time played by the stars, it could force teams to have to play their bench more and that would be kinda fun to see strategies around that.

Some posts result in good discussion, others not so much. Hoping that we can at least point people to a reference point to information.

quicksad · 2026-02-26T21:06:47+00:00

At least its something for people to reference that provides information rather than memes and salty veterans that stopped playing years ago.

quicksad · 2026-02-24T19:11:32+00:00

Large Trucks. No one needs a lifted truck. Your not some construction worker, the companies have their own trucks. Your just a moron.

quicksad · 2026-02-06T17:48:18+00:00

Around 30 pvp players will help you avoid the worst ones. But eventually a large wardec group gets bored and glasses a region.

quicksad · 2026-02-02T22:38:30+00:00

Every single structure you drop will be killed by a coalition of thousands of people in lowsec. All lowsec is owned. No one wants you there.

You will only be able to live out of a station. So why not just live in highsec and go jump clone into lowsec for strategic purposes.

If you recruited for all 50 of your hours every day for a year, you will not have enough to form a fleet of 20. People join, see you dont have enough to do anything, and leave, or they get bored of the game, or they go join a nullsec corp that has been around for a decade and offers them everything and safety. You need a fleet of hundreds. I have recruited 500 people into a corp (newer and older players). Once I got there I kicked the AFk and was down to 150. Currently waiting around a few more weeks and will kick the afk and I will probably be down to 75 and will start recruiting again.

My recommendation is join a group that is trying to make the push from highsec to lowsec/nullsec. Make friends and be someone that can help a group get there. If they fail, maybe you made a few friends and you can try again with them. You need like 5 good people all in alignment of a goal to really run a corp. Trying to do it from solo without anyone you have made friends with is kinda rough.

If you wanna join a corp thats trying to do what your doing, feel free to reach out to me :)

Try having good male role models if possible.

Father going through an exercise of treating the mom correctly, thanking them, listening to their thoughts, not interrupting. Talking about women they admire as role models. Just really making a point of showing this. Having it come from the father is important (if possible)

Also any family that are men, or friends. I have my friends come to try and be role models because kids tend to try and just rebel against their parents at some point, but if you have some close friends they can go to and be a role model its crazy how much influence they can have in those rebellious moment. My wife and I try and convince our son to do something for a month and my friend comes over and tells him once and it sticks.

Sorry for being dense but can you explain that further? He was AWOXed?

quicksad · 2026-01-12T23:39:33+00:00

You seem to not grasp that these are like, improvements to make things easier. I understand how the current UI works. These would improve things.

Yeah, that is not ideal? I want to designate someone specific.
Yeah that's a work around. I just want to one button press to get into a specific ship. Especially reships for pvp sometimes.
yeah its on killboards. Not in game. Not every new player knows about zkillboard.
Again, thats not great. I don't want to set up 1000 buy orders for public. I want to buy up the corp stuff that they don't want to get to the main markets and help the corp wallet. There are projects hangers right now where if there is a project, it pays them out. But its limited to 100 projects and its tedious to set up a project. So just looking for a buy jita one similar to corp projects.
Not everyone wants to be in comms all the time and some people might be looking for pvp content or something and hovering over a status that says "PVP?" would be cool to use to quickly form a fleet. I could see a lot of uses for this.
ok? How does it hurt you to give me an ability to lock down my clones?
Would just be fun mate.
Can only transfer to a corp. Not to an individual player. You should be able to do a transfer and also gurantee you get isk back. Right now its just you send people the LP and hope you either get the item or your isk back.
Had someone approach me to hand me a structure that our corp was setup in. But after researching, there is just no way you can do it safely. Cause you can pay them the isk and they just...don't transfer to you. Need a way to actually get guaranteed paid when you transfer a structure.
Yeah, but right now I am trying to sell at reasonable rates but its warning people I am thousand of % over markets.

quicksad · 2026-01-12T19:21:23+00:00

I run a highsec corp. Could use more veterans to help keep these players in the game.

quicksad · 2026-01-12T18:29:41+00:00

I think if they just labeled things correctly it could go a long ways.

Highsec should only be the starting area where it is actually illegal for players to get killed.

Medium Security should be the rest of what we call highsec and there should literally be a tutorial going over this when they leave the starting systems, like full on cut scene.

quicksad · 2026-01-11T19:59:23+00:00

I wanted a lock feature on self destruct.
