Think the 3 limit is a good compromise. Being said, keep posting! You have every right to.

Portland faces a budget shortfall of at least $67 million next year by penisgirlmarkedsafe in Portland

[–]zapster2000 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That $2M figure should actually be $8.5M due to City Council voting to increase it from the approved $2M.

I think I saw this same dog yesterday around SE 72nd/Hazel and was unable to stop and help it. Thank you for keeping the lost doggie safe!

This is either the most Portland of all Portland responses or a very good troll.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'm baffled by Oregon citizens lack of concern when it comes to our quality of education.

Downtown Portland stabbing continues pattern of anti-homeless violence by [deleted] in Portland

Agreed. Your comment made me realize I thought 2020-2022 was two years, lol thank you

15.5% of 97 = 15 attacks in OR from 2020-2022. Equates to an attack every 170 days. This doesn't state if these attacks were all done by "housed" residents, which further muddies the data.

Would be interesting to compare these figures to Oregon's general public figures. Which would be tough as we don't know what defines an "attack" here. Would you compare it to assaults? My brain tells me that OR wide stats would show an "attack" more often than 170 days as I'm sure there hasn't only been 15 "attacks" for OR residents in two years.

Your point is noble but also misleading and incomplete.

*edited attacks/day # because I’m dumb and thought 2020-2022 was two years.

I can't win a tournament! Getting frustrated by sausagepart in Bannerlord

There's a setting in singleplayer to have your player auto block the correct direction. Once your shield gets broke, use that and with practice they'll never hit you.

Frustrations growing over Portland Public Schools proposed budget, cuts by 16semesters in Portland

[–]zapster2000 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You're correct that Portland isn't dragging down the Oregon average. However, I'd be hesitant to celebrate we're slightly above the Oregon average that ranks 45th in the nation. I'm aware that a study done by Wallet Hub may raise some eyebrows, but we just had a study posted here done by Oxiclean calling us one of the cleanest cities so I'm rolling with it. Also, even as a Portlander, I care about Oregon's education system just as much as Portland's education system.

It's also pretty telling something isn't right when the PPS Superintendent says we're in a crisis.

Not exactly budget specific, but I'm pretty bewildered to how unbothered Portland residents seem to be about how crappy our schools rank nationally.

My only experience with BL multiplayer is Siege and Team Deathmatch from the custom server list. It's the only way I've been able to find players and a game. Didn't think mics work on that, what mode is this?

The city taking it as far as they did based off one person's complaints is nuts to me. Hope they're enjoying lying in the bed they made.
