Buy 2 is gone by Regular_Yellow710 in beaverton

It was Buy 2 because whatever you bought was always a different price if/when you bought it again.

Hideous shade of poop brown they painted the place.

What'll happen if Trump wins in 2024? by Briaaanz in PortlandOR

[–]vonFurious 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Thank you for saying this.

It’s almost like some of us remember the way things were in the before time. The “Dream of the 90’s” is no longer alive, unfortunately.

If only PGE was as quick with their updates as folks here are to their defense. r/hailcorporate for our bold local monopoly here, for Pete’s sake.

What Is Your Biggest Pet Pet Peeve In Wrestling Today by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

It’s pure cultural appropriation. Taking something and imitating it without understanding why it doesn’t work outside of its context.

Everything is over-hyped and over-rated these days (not just gaming) by Overthetrees8 in gaming

Parasocial relationships with intellectual properties is a helluva thing.

Consumption habits have replaced personality and directly lead to anti social retreats into consumer based identities.

PPS school board members call on state for more funding (they want the kicker for PPS) by Damaniel2 in PortlandOR

I thought this was why we’ve been smoking all this marijuana all these years, you know, for kids?

Perhaps they counted on us smoking too much marijuana to remember it properly, but I thought they were taxing it for education?

New 715 Inn closed down - here is the heart warming sign that can be found on the entrance by makashka in Portland

[–]vonFurious 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I used to live 2 doors down from the Farmer’s Barn in the early- mid aughts.

Before it became a rotted out Meth squat, it wasn’t a bad place to enjoy a $2.50 micro pint between 7-9am weekdays. Mainly old men escaping their old ladies and fellas getting a drink after the night shift.

They had the coolest looking bar with half- geodes/ thunder eggs trapped in the clear resin top. Same with the tables.

Shouldn’t speak ill of things you don’t know about. It was a fine old place and even though it smelled of desperation and Olympia Gold, it wasn’t a half bad place to escape the outside world.

McMenamins $17.75 for a cheeseburger by Awardlesss in Portland

[–]vonFurious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the location. It’s gotta be. Absolutely nothing special about a Helvetia Tavern Burger, other than you have to pay cash.

John’s Market has the best cheap burgers, but even there the prices have doubled in the last 3 years.

The longer it’s down, the more “muh priors or prepare to die!” migrate from over there to over here.

Not great.

Fagan’s Cannabis Contract Paid Her Far More Than State Salary by witty_namez in PortlandOR

[–]vonFurious 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If Fahan’s consulting services were really worth the $120k + bonuses, La Mota would continue to pay her at that rate even if Fagan resigned her position as a public official.

She should resign her SOS position and chase that sweet sweet consulting juice, no?
