I’m sorry you’re lonely. It’s important for everyone to be able to make meaning and feel connection in their lives. It’s wonderful that you’ve found your outlet. That’s so nice.

After years of living in a cycling city, it is an ingrained habit for me to check my mirrors after parallel parking and before opening my door. But even without bike lanes, are people not concerned about cars taking off their doors? About stepping into oncoming traffic? I don’t understand how checking isn’t a habit…

Yeah I was gleeful about this for about three hours, then realized that

So like what happened to Trump to make him so weak and jittery when he’s questioned in any critical fashion? Why is he so obsessed with demeaning others and projecting? His mother seems to love him too much, and his father gave him money/work at least, so Herr Trump Sr. probably believed in him to some extent. Why…

I think in most households like that the wife is sort of a figurehead who oversees what’s done when, so ultimately it would be her responsibility even if she’s not the one actually doing the cooking. Why would a great man with huge responsibilities, the best responsibilities you wouldn’t believe these…

Yup more people should try this. I got not 1 hour outside of Portland into coastal Washington and basically drove into Angertown, population a ton of old white people. Encountered a lot of really aggressive, rude people in that neck of the woods too, maybe it was a coincidence or maybe it was totally linked. WHO KNOWS.

Knowing that Drew Magary is kind of hot has absolutely ruined him for me, thanks for that.

That’s very optimistic. I hope you’re right.

Congrats on your escape. The people who think this place is great are so incredibly shallow I can’t handle it. Scratch like a quarter centimeter beyond the surface and it’s a festering pile of shit. It is better than a lot of places in America, granted, but it is NOWHERE CLOSE to the liberal utopia people pretend it…

What makes you think he & his band of angry idiots are going to go quietly when the time comes? Look at how much he’s spinning out and tantrumming BEFORE the election. I’m glad I don’t live in a red state.

If they continue winning local elections, they aren’t “done.” The presidency isn’t the only office, it’s 1/3 of a system, and that 1/3 can’t get anything done if the other 2/3 aren’t playing ball.

Fine, it’s worse. People in 2008 thought that was as bad as it could get. If you don’t think there’s a lower tier for a national election to dip to, you’re more optimistic than pragmatic, and I envy you.

Yes, Oregon as a whole was basically founded as a Klan utopia. I wouldn’t say “good ole’ boys” so much at this point, at least not in Portland - I grew up in the South and I know what that looks like. These are mostly just super opportunistic democrats with good exterior credentials (look up Sam Adams, an openly gay…

Are you replaying 2008's greatest hits? Because this is what people were saying about the Republican Party in 2008 post-Palin. It wasn’t true then and it isn’t now.

You aren’t really doing a good job here, bro.

If you want to be glib about it, whatever. This is a city that has historically been and is presently extremely racist in policy and practice.

That detail about the butler...can you imagine being Trump’s personal anti-rape referee? That’s extremely dark.

Black-owned businesses in Portland deserve leeway.

Fucking Portland. I never imagined I’d hate living here so much. I wish I could afford to move.

OMG 80s white leather jacket? A crime (to ruin it, that is)
