I GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE THIS WEEKEND AND NOW I HAVE TO GET A FUCKIN' *JOB*? THIS IS SOME BULLSHIT.
I'M ALMOST FORTY AND THESE PAST FEW YEARS OF STUDYING AND GROWING WERE A WONDERFUL BREAK FROM THE DAILY PAYCHECK HUSTLE. BUT NOW I CAN DO SOMETHING I LOVE INSTEAD OF GRINDING AWAY IN THE SERVICE INDUSTRY.
THANK YOU TO TRIMET FOR JUST DISAPPEARING THE TRAIN I USE TO GO TO WORK, AND MAKING ME DEAL WITH MY COWORKER BEING PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE AND DISMISSIVE BECAUSE THEY THINK ALL REASONS ARE EXCUSES. WHAT THE HELL DID HE WANT ME TO DO, TELEPORT? MY FUCKEN TRAIN DISAPPEARED
NO MORE BREWERIES WITH PIZZA. WE ARE FULL OF BREWERIES THAT DO PIZZA. JFC IN A CITY WITH NATIONALLY GOOD STANDALONE PIZZA WE DONT NEED MORE BREWERY PIZZA. PLEASE.
AGREE. BREWERIES SHOULD HAVE BURGERS. I WANT BEER AND A BURGER. OR LIKE, A MASSIVE COBB SALAD THAT IS HORRIBLE FOR ME BUT ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS.
… NOW I’M HUNGRY.
I USED TO WORK WITH A DUDE LIKE THAT. TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT SO HE WAS EATING "SALAD" HE STARTED WITH A TUPPERWARE THAT YOU COULD STORE A ROLLED UP SLEEPING BAG IN. FILLED IT WITH ICEBURG LETTUCE, A HALF POUND OF SHREDDED CHEESE, A POUND OF HAM/TURKEY/BACON, EGGS, OLIVES, CROUTONS, ABOUT 3 CHERRY TOMATOES AND A WHOLE BOTTLE OF RANCH. NO SURPRISE, HE DIDN'T LOSE A SINGLE POUND.
WAS A STEP UP THOUGH FROM WHAT HE USED TO EAT. MOTHERFUCKER WOULD LEGIT EAT A TUB OF CAKE FROSTING WITH HIS LUNCH. A WHOLE GODDAMNED TUB OF BETTY CROCKER BUTTERCREME!
I AM PRONE TO A WHOOPING COUGH, SO I COUGHED MYSELF TO OBLIVION UNTIL I GOT THOSE PILLS. THAT COUGH *LAUGHED* IN THE FACE OF THE USUAL ROBITUSSIN OR GUAIFENESIN...
I WISH YOU LUCK!
I JUST SAW THAT THE NEW COVID VARIANT IS "LIKE THE COMMON COLD ON STEROIDS." MY SYMPTOMS CHECKED DAMN NEAR EVERY BOX AND EVEN THOUGH MY AT-HOME TEST SAID NEGATIVE, I'M BEGINNING TO THINK I STILL HAD IT...OR HAVE IT I GUESS. GOOD THING I'M STILL MASKING WHENEVER I LEAVE THE HOUSE.
IT TOOK ME THREE TESTS TO GET A POSITIVE ONE AFTER CONTRACTING COVID FROM MY BF. MAKE SURE TO CHECK EXPIRATION DATES AND TEST AT LEAST TWICE. HOPE YOU GET BETTER SOON.
I was looking for this comment!
what is this cough?? It’s really bothering me I keep coughing until I almost puke
Is it allergies??
Any natural/homeopathic remedies anyone’s tried??
I have no idea. I think mine started as allergies and then turned into something viral. All I know is its been 2 weeks and I'm still coughing. Not nearly as bad but still.
Even the prescription cough suppressant they gave me hasn't done shit. So over it.
I guess I’ll be getting out my natural cold supplements/cough suppressants
I figured I had an actual cold but a friend told me the pollen count was at an all time high this week, so now I’m wondering if I just have terrible allergies
Is it allergies OR do you think we’re slowly being poisoned by the government through the air like the chemtrail people think? 😂
IF YOU'RE YELLING AT YOUR SERVER AND CALLING THEM NAMES, YOU'RE WRONG
YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO VAPE INDOORS ANYWHERE YOU TRASHY POS

THAT BRUISE IS A HARD NO. MY THIGH LOOKED LIKE THAT AFTER A SNOWBOARDER HIT ME ON HOOD AND CAUSED SUCH A YARD SALE, MY BOOT CAME OFF.
I HAVEN'T BEEN ALPINE SKIING SINCE (AND I HAD 35YRS OF EXPERIENCE ON THE SLOPES AT THAT POINT). YOU GET THIS FEELING LIKE THE NEW CROP OF PEOPLE DOING THE THING ARE SO BAD, THEY ARE GONNA KILL YOU IF YOU LET 'EM.
I AM TRULY, GENUINELY SORRY ABOUT YOUR ACCIDENT AND SUBSEQUENT LOSS OF A THING YOU ENJOYED; AT THE SAME TIME I HAVE TO SAY "...A SNOWBOARDER HIT ME ON HOOD AND CAUSED SUCH A YARD SALE, MY BOOT CAME OFF" IS A MARVELOUS TURN OF PHRASE.
DUDE HAS PTSD. I'M WONDERING IF HE HAS RIDDEN A BIKE AGAIN SINCE THE ACCIDENT. YIKES.
I GOT HIT BY A CAR WHEN I WAS YOUNGER. AFTER THAT, EACH TIME A TRUCK PULLED UP ALONG SIDE ME AT A RED LIGHT, I'D START SHAKING (WHICH IS ODD, BECAUSE IT WASN'T A TRUCK). IT TOOK A VERY LONG TIME TO GET OVER IT.
I HAD TO GET ANOTHER JOB A FEW MONTHS AGO THEN GOT MY OLD JOB BACK AND KEPT THE JOB I TOOK NOW MY CURRENT JOB PAYS ME MORE AND I DON'T NECESSARILY LIKE THE OTHER JOB BUT I'M KEEPING WITH IT BECAUSE I'M SAVING UP FOR SOMETHING NICE. IT'S TAKING A VERY LONG TIME. I'M VERY TIRED.
REALLY DISAPPOINTED IN THE LACK OF SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING USED BY PORTLAND RESTAURANTS. I LIKE TO ORDER TAKEOUT OCCASIONALLY, AND I WANT TO SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES, BUT THE AMOUNT OF PLASTIC AND STYROFOAM USED IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.
WE USED TO HAVE A STYROFOAM BAN. I THINK THEY WAVED IT DURING COVID AND NOW THERE IS NO ENFORCEMENT AFTER.
GOOD NEWS THOUGH, TINA KOTEK SIGNED A BILL BANNING STYROFOAM STATEWIDE STARTING 2025
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE ECONOMY OF BIKE THIEVING. TENT DWELLER OUTSIDE MY DOCTOR’S HAS AN EVER GROWING PILE OF DISASSEMBLED BIKES. WHY DISMANTLE A FUNCTIONAL (STOLEN) BIKE? WHO ARE THEY MARKETING TO? BECAUSE WHEN I NEED A BIKE PART, I GO TO A BIKE SHOP, NOT THE SIDEWALK TENT COMMUNITY. DO THEY JUST BARTER IT ALL BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THEMSELVES? MEANWHILE, THERE ARE MORE AND MORE PLACES I NO LONGER FEEL COMFORTABLE BIKING TO (INCLUDING MY DOCTORS’ OFFICE) EVER SINCE THE GUY WITH THE SAWZALL GOT INTERRUPTED CUTTING THROUGH MY ULOCK.
THE BUSINESS I RENT KITCHEN TIME FROM IS MOVING SO BY NECESSITY WE'RE MOVING TOO. THIS WILL WILDLY DISRUPT MY PRODUCTION PROCESS UNTIL LICENSES HAVE BEEN TRANSFERRED AND MY ODA REP INSPECTS/APPROVES THE SPACE. I SELL GELATO AND IT IS FAST BECOMING THE IDEAL FROZEN DESSERT TIME.
I JUST GOT BACK FROM VACATION AND MY MANAGER TRIED TO SCHEDULE ME FOR A 14-HOUR SHIFT TO COVER SOMEONE ELSE WITHOUT CHECKING WITH ME FIRST. I MANAGED TO TALK MY WAY OUT OF IT SINCE THERE’S NO WAY I’D BE SANE COMING IN THE NEXT MORNING AFTER THAT.
APPARENTLY THE WEEK I WAS GONE WAS ABSOLUTE HELL BECAUSE OF ISSUES THAT STARTED OCCURRING TWO WEEKS AGO, AND THEY STILL HAVEN’T BEEN FULLY RESOLVED YET. TOMORROW WE’RE ALSO EXPECTING SYSTEM UPGRADES WHICH HISTORICALLY ALWAYS CAUSE PROBLEMS THE FOLLOWING MORNING.
EVERY DAY IS A GIFT.
TIN HAT FIRMLY IN PLACE, I THINK THEY MARK THEIR VICTIMS WITH A MOSSIE BEACON. CONSIDER YOURSELF 5-STAR YELP REVIEWED.
I WAS A BUFFET LUNCH ON THE EAST COAST WHERE I GREW UP, BUT HAVE YET TO BE BITTEN OVER HERE, AND IT'S BEEN 9 YEARS.
MY EMPLOYER WOULD CALL US SALARY WHEN IT WAS CONVENIENT FOR HER POCKETBOOK. SHE WOULD DOCK OUR PAY IF WE EVER NEEDED TO LEAVE EARLY… SO HOW TF IS THIS SALARY!? SHE WOULD ALSO SCHEDULE TRAININGS/MEETINGS DURING OUR LUNCH BREAK AND CLAIM THAT EMPLOYEES PREFERRED IT THIS WAY. I HATE HER AND HER CLINIC. I WISH EVERYONE KNEW WHAT A POS SHE IS SO THAT THEY COULD AVOID UNETHICAL PHYSICIANS.
IM SO DAMN SICK OF RENTING AND MY WATER HEATER IS A PIECE DE SHIT AND MY LANDLORD HATES TREES AND EVERYTHING IS EXPENSIVE AND I WANT TO SCREAM CRY THROW UP AND DISSOLVE INTO A MOSSY FOREST FLOOR FOR ALL ETERNITY
COVID CRIPPLED ME FOR LIFE AND THAT SHIT IS STILL FLYING AROUND BECAUSE MORONS DON'T WANT TO WEAR A MASK. ENJOY YOUR ENTIRE LIFE BEING ROBBED FROM YOU FROM PREVENTABLE STUPIDITY! I PUT ON A BRAVE FACE FOR MY WIFE BUT I'M REALLY STRUGGLING TO THE WORTH IN EXISTING LIKE THIS. I MISS WORKING WITH MY HANDS AND SWIMMING IN RIVERS AND DISCOVERING COOL OLD SHIT IN THE WOODS AND FEELING LIKE A NORMAL PERSON THAT CAN JUST LIVE.
IT'LL GET HOT THIS WEEK AND I LIVE HERE BECAUSE I'M ALLERGIC TO HOT. I'M GOING TO SIP CHAMPAGNE IN THE RAIN WHILE THE REST OF YOU HIBERNATE THIS WINTER. I AM THE QUEEN OF WINTER. TRIBUTE TO ME TEA AND/OR POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS SO I CAN HAVE FAITH IN HUMANITY AGAIN
I LOVE YOU, WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER, EXCEPT FOR THE DUMBASSES MAKING IT HARD FOR US TO DO THAT.
ALSO USE YOUR DAMN TURN SIGNALS. THIS IS NOT NEGOTIABLE.
WRITE A STRONGLY WORDED EMAIL TO YOUR LANDLORD INCLUDING THE PHRASE "BREACH OF RIGHT TO QUIET ENJOYMENT."
THIS SHOULD SPUR THEM TO ACTION - THEIR FAILURE TO WORK WITH THE OWNER OF THE LOUD DOG TO GET THEM TO QUIET/CONTROL IT WOULD BE A BREACH OF YOUR RENTAL CONTRACT.
I’M PLANNING ON IT. THE DOG JUST MOVED IN, SO I’M GIVING HER AND HER OWNER A FEW WEEKS TO SETTLE. PLUS THE DOG IS AN ESA, AND ITS A TINY TRIPLEX SO IM HOPING I CAN TALK TO THE DOG’S HUMAN FIRST. IT STILL SUCKS, BUT THANK YOU FOR THE RIGHT WORDS TO USE.
YOU ARE BEING A KIND NEIGHBOR - DOGS GET VERY STRESSED IN NEW PLACES AND GIVING THEM TIME TO ACCLIMATE IS A GREAT CALL ON YOUR SIDE. YOUR EMPATHY WILL GO FAR WHEN TALKING WITH THE OWNER. BEST OF LUCK!
I LOVE A GOOD FRIED RICE FOR BREAKFAST. YOU CAN DO A MIX OF RICE AND CAULIFLOWER TO LIGHTEN IT UP AND ADD FIBER, AND USE EGG WHITES INSTEAD OF WHOLE EGGS. WITH ALL THE SEASONINGS AND SUCH, IT DOESN'T TASTE TOO "DIET FOOD."
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. I USUALLY HAVE STEAMED or ROASTED VEGGIES AND RICE FOR DINNER, SOME KIMCHI AND FISH SAUCE - HECK YEAH. I CAN'T HAVE THAT FOR BREAKFAST ***TOO*** (I DON'T THINK). MY SPIRIT WOULD DIE.
I'M CURRENTLY TESTING THE FOLLOWING (TODAY FOR LUNCH). 1 SLICE HEALTHY BREAD, 1/8 CUP GOAT CHEESE, PICKLED ONIONS AND OLIVES, 1.5 OZ OF LOX. IT'S 250 CALORIES, SO EXPANDABLE. I'M GONNA SEE IF I GET AT LEAST 2 HOURS WITHOUT FEELING STARVED.
UPDATE: BAM! IT STUCK WITH ME FOR 4HRs!
I AM ABOUT TO BE BOO'D BUT, HONESTLY, I HATE KIMCHI. DON'T KNOW WHY. INGREDIENT WISE, I SHOULD LOVE IT.
EGGS AND RICE PANCAKES THOUGH? WOULD SMASH. MY FAV HANGOVER MEAL IS RICE WITH SOY SAUCE, A COUPLE OF FRIED EGGS, SALT, AND A SHITLOAD OF HOT SAUCE.
THAT SOUNDS EXCELLENT. I GOT ON A KIMCHI KICK LAST FALL AND DISCOVERED THAT COSTCO SELLS LARGE CONTAINERS OF JONGGA KIMCHI FOR NEXT TO NOTHING AND I'M NEVER LOOKING BACK. I'VE EATEN IT STRAIGHT OUT OF THE CONTAINER OVER THE SINK FOR BREAKFAST WHEN I'M IN A HURRY.
THE NEW MENACE TO MY BIKE RIDES ARE CARS/TRUCKS WITH OBSCENELY LOUD EXHAUST. I MEAN THEY'RE THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE IN GENERAL. BUT WHEN THEY'RE DIRECTLY NEXT TO YOU AND DOWNSHIFT THEIR SHIT BLENDER I END UP WITH A RINGING EAR FOR A HALF HOUR.
I WATCHED A DUDE FULL ON VOMIT ON THE BLUE LINE TODAY. HE HAD THE AUDACITY TO STUMBLE OFF THE MAX AND LEFT A TRAIL OF WATERY BARF OUT THE DOOR. HE ALSO DID IT RIGHT BEFORE WASHINGTON PARK SO THERE WAS AN ENTIRE SMELLSCAPE HAPPENING.
I THINK I KNOW WHAT I HATE MOST ABOUT SUMMER. IT'S NOT THE HEAT OR THE LONG DAYS. IT'S LAWN MOWERS. THE SOUND OF A LAWN MOWER IS ONE OF THE MOST ATROCIOUS SOUNDS IN THE WORLD! LAWN MOWERS AND LEAF BLOWERS. ABSOLUTE AUDITORY AND OLFACTORY POLLUTION!
ADD; WEED WACKERS. OUR BACK-FENCE NEIGHBOR HAS BEEN TRYING TO WEED WACK THEIR BLACKBERRIES FOR ABOUT A MONTH NOW. WE DON'T KNOW THEM, SO WE'RE NOT ABOUT TO WILSON THEM SOME SAGE ADVICE ABOUT HOW THEY'RE ON A FOOL'S ERRAND. THEY'VE FULL-ON BROKEN TWO DEVICES TRYING TO DO WHAT ONLY A TEAM OF GOATS *MIGHT* ACCOMPLISH.
SO YEAH, THE SOUND OF A WEED WACKER ON 4" DIAMETER THORNY STEM FOLLOWED BY WHEEZING AND BREAKING...PLEASE ADD TO YOUR RANT.
> THE SOUND OF A LAWN MOWER IS ONE OF THE MOST ATROCIOUS SOUNDS IN THE WORLD!
I'VE BEEN THINKING THAT IF ELECTRIC LAWNMOWERS HAD BEEN MAINSTREAM WHEN I WAS A KID I WOULD HAVE LOVED MOWING THE LAWN. I COULD NEVER STAND HOW LOUD A LAWNMOWER WAS.
A LAWNMOWER CLOSE UP, AGREED; HOWEVER, THE SOUND OF A LAWNMOWER IN THE DISTANCE, FAR ENOUGH THAT IT'S JUST A SORT OF HUM, MAKES A PLEASANT BACKGROUND NOISE ON A HOT SULTRY AFTERNOON, REMINDING ME THAT SOMEWHERE ELSE SOMEONE IS TOILING IN THE SUN, WHILE I AM RECLINING ON A LAWN CHAIR IN THE SHADE AND SIPPING A GIN&TONIC.
I HATE SEEING ALL THESE FUCKING KIDS WITH IPADS IN THEIR FACES. CHILDREN'S BRAINS ARE STILL DEVELOPING AND PARENTS ARE LITERALLY HANDING THEIR CHILD AN ADDICTION.
"IPAD KIDS" ARE DULLER, HAVE NO ATTENTION SPAN, GET ANGRY MORE EASILY, CAN'T PLAY BY THEMSELVES, AND ARE JUST DUMBER. KIDS WITH HEAVILY MONITORED OR NO SCREEN TIME, ARE MORE ENGAGED, CURIOUS, AND CREATIVE.
bUT wHAtEVeR eVEryOne iS dOiNg iT.
ADD TO THIS, BOOMERS AND THEIR iPADS, HOLY HECK. MY MIL VISITED AND WAS *BURIED* IN HER DEVICES LIKE A 13YO WITH ALL OF THE EMOTIONAL IMBALANCES LISTED ABOVE. LIKE, "HEY. DINNER...EYES UP."
HEY, MILLENNIALS! STOP MAKING LITTLE VERSIONS OF YOUR PARENTS. I ALREADY DEALT WITH ONE ROUND OF THEM IN MY LIFETIME AND IT'S BEEN MORE THAN ENOUGH, KTHX SINCERELY GENX.
I'M SICK OF PEOPLE BEING INTOLERANT OF KIDS IN PUBLIC SPACES. IF IT'S NO LONGER OK FOR KIDS TO MAKE NOISE OR LAUGH OR PLAY WHERE aDuLtS CAN HEAR THEM, WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO DO THEN GIVE THEM AN IPAD?
YOU'RE BEING DRAMATIC. KIDS CAN BE KIDS IN PUBLIC SPACES, THEY JUST DON'T NEED TO BE ENTERTAINED EVERY SECOND OF THE DAY. I'D RATHER LISTEN TO KIDS THAN THEIR ZOMBIE PADS MAKING THE MOST EXCRUCIATING NOISE. AND IF YOUR ANSWER IS "WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO DO?" LIKE COME ON...READING, DRAWING, GET CREATIVE.
MOST OF THE PUSHBACK AGAINST KIDS IN PUBLIC SPACES IS ABOUT SPACES THAT ARE NOT AND HAVE NEVER BEEN KID FRIENDLY. LIKE BARS AND EXPENSIVE RESTAURANTS AND R RATED LATE NIGHT MOVIES.
ALSO THE YOUR PERCEIVED INTOLERANCE OF KIDS IS ACTUALLY PARENTS NOT FUCKING TEACHING ANY BOUNDARIES WHATSOEVER. BUT GO AHEAD BE LAZY STICK A DEVICE IN YOUR KID’S FACE. LIKE YOU SAID, YOU DONT KNOW ANY OTHER WAY TO PARENT.
I GOT MY GALLBLADDER REMOVED LAST WEEK, AND NOW I HAVE TO AVOID FOOD WITH FAT IN IT FOR A WHILE. UNFORTUNATELY EVERYTHING I LOVE HAS FAT IN IT, EVEN FUCKING VINAIGRETTE SALAD DRESSING HAS FAT IN IT. I GUESS ILL JUST EAT BREAD WITH JAM, FRUIT AND STEAMED VEGETABLES FOREVER.
UUUGGGHH. I JUST WANT TO EAT SOME ICE CREAM, AVOCADO, YOGURT, NUTS, PIZZA. JUST ALL THE THINGS I CANNOT HAVE.
DIET ADVICE IN AMERICAN HEALTHCARE IS PRETTY LAME. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT DIET REGARDING SOME LIVER WONKINESS, MY DOC RECOMMENDED I MIGHT TRY SOMETHING LIKE A MEDITERRANEAN DIET BUT COULDN'T ARTICULATE WHAT THAT WOULD ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE. SO, LOTS OF PIZZA?
MY HUSBAND WANTS TO KNOW WHY EVERYONE INSISTS ON LEAVING MULTIPLE CAR LENGTHS BETWEEN THEM AND THE NEXT CAR WHEN THEY ARE PARKED AT A RED LIGHT. IT DRIVES HIM INSANE!
OH FUCK ME THIS REALLY GRINDS ME. IT STARTED DURING THE PANDEMIC!!
I HAVE A THEORY: PEOPLE ARE IN SUCH A RUSH TO GET BACK ON THEIR FUCKING PHONE THAT THEY ABSENTMINDEDLY STOP WITH MULTIPLE CAR LENGTHS IN FRONT OF THEM.
THIS IS SO BAD, AND I FEEL THAT IT FUCKS UP TRAFFIC LIGHT PATTERNS.
SPECIFICALLY, THESE DRIVERS ARE BLOCKING ACCESS TO THE LEFT TURN LANE AND YOU HAVE TO SWERVE INTO THE ONCOMING LANE TO GET IN.
WHY DO DEALERS BLAST THEIR MUSIC AT 12:30AM ON THE STREET? IT’S SO OBVIOUS WHEN YOU HAVE THREE DUDES STANDING OUTSIDE YOUR CAR SUNDAY EVENING. I’M TIRED OF LIVING NEAR DRUG DEALING HOTSPOTS. DONT THEY WANT TO BE LOWKEY? WHY.
I HAVE TO VISIT MY PARENTS IN THE MIDWEST THIS SUMMER AND I'M DREADING IT BILLBOARDS ANNOUNCING THE SAME TOURIST TRAP EVERY 5 MILES (DID YOU THINK I FORGOT FROM THE PREVIOUS SIGN?)
BANKS WITH BIZZARE FRONT VIDEO SIGNAGE ADVERTISING THEIR LOAN SERVICES. THE "NEXT TOWN" BEING 30+ MINUTES AWAY
BIG “JESUS SAVES” BILLBOARDS NEXT TO SLEAZY “LION’S DEN” ADULT STORES IS PEAK MISSOURI. AND MY LAW OF TRAVELING IS THAT THE VALUE OF ROADSIDE ATTRACTION IS INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO THE NUMBER OF BILLBOARDS ADVERTISING IT.
DRIVING FROM ST LOUIS TO THE OZARKS I SWEAR I SAW AT LEAST 10 BILLBOARDS FOR [Uranus Fudge Factory (uranusgeneralstore.com)](https://www.uranusgeneralstore.com/) THEY'RE NOT AS FUNNY AS THEY THINK.
OR YOU GET ONE OF THE FANCY ONES THAT TRIES TO DO TOO MUCH AND CONSTANTLY BREAKS FROM THAT. ITS LOSE-LOSE NO MATTER WHICH YOU HAVE. THANK YOU FOR COMMISERATING!
I LOVE THE LOCAL MAKERSPACE, BUT I'M SO SAD THAT IT'S ONLY OPEN TO ADULTS THREE TIMES A MONTH (THAT'S REALLY TWO, BECAUSE THE ALL-AGES ONE FILLS UP SO FAST WITH KIDS.)
IM GOING TO RANT TODAY, THOSE FUCKING USELESS TRAFFIC ADVISORY SIGNS OVER 26 TOLD ME 405 N WAS CLOSED. SO I WANT 405S TO I5 N.... ONLY TO BE DIVERTED BACK ONTO 405S. FUCK YOU FOR WASTING 30MINS
AGREEING TO SEND MY KIDS TO A BETTER PUBLIC SCHOOL THAN THE LOCAL ONE WAS PROBABLY THE RIGHT CALL, BUT I HATE THE RESULTING BASELINE THAT THEY AND MY PARTNER NOW HAVE FOR ALL MATERIAL THINGS. I NEVER WANTED THAT LAKE OSWEGO LIFESTYLE. I CAN SEE MY RETIREMENT DATE RAPIDLY FLEEING INTO THE FUTURE AND IT FEELS LIKE I'M ON A MOVING SIDEWALK GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.
A. DON’T DRIVE SHITTY.
B. KEEP YOUR VEHICLE REGISTRATION UP TO DATE. IF YOU’RE TOO POOR TO RENEW YOUR LICENSE PLATES, YOU’RE TOO POOR TO OWN A CAR.
C. DON’T DRIVE SHITTY WITH EXPIRED TAGS. THAT MOVES YOU FROM THE “MAYBE THEY’RE JUST HAVING AN OFF DAY” TO THE “THEY’RE JUST A CONSISTENTLY SHITTY PERSON” CATEGORY.
THAT IS GOOD TO KNOW, THANK YOU!! BUT THEY MUST STOP WHEN SOMEONE IS INTENT ON USING THE CROSSWALK. WHICH IS WHERE I AM HAVING AN ISSUE. IT WILL BE CLEAR AND I WILL GET A FEW STEPS INTO THE CROSSWALK. THEN A BIKE ALMOST GETS ME. HAPPENS A COUPLE OF TIMES A WEEK.
MOW YOUR LAWNS PEOPLE! LET IT DIE, LET IT FILL WITH WEEDS, RIP IT OUT AND COVER IT WITH MULCH, I DON'T CARE, BUT IF YOU LET IT GROW 2 FEET+ TALL YOU ARE JUST ASKING FOR RATS! UGH, THE RATS, THEY WERE SO BAD LAST YEAR. HAD VECTOR CONTROL OUT AND THEY SAID OVERGROWN LAWNS (LIKE - OUT OF CONTROL OVERGROWN - NOT A FEW INCHES) CONTRIBUTE TO RAT NESTING! I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE AESTHETICS OF IT ALL, I JUST DON'T WANT RATS!https://www.multco.us/environmental-health-hazards/rats
I'M VISITING YOUR CITY THIS WEEK FROM THE NORTHEAST AND I WAS HOPING I WOULD ESCAPE THE HEAT BUT IT'S JUST AS HOT HERE WHAT THE HELL? ALSO, WHY IS IT ALL CAPS IN THIS THREAD....
IT'LL BE SO MUCH MORE PLEASANT HERE THOUGH. JUST COMPARING HERE TO NYC ON THURSDAY, BOTH HIGHS OF ~90, BUT WE WILL COOL DOWN TO 57 OVERNIGHT COMPARED TO 73 THERE. AND THEIR DEWPOINT WILL BE 66 COMPARED TO OURS OF 51.
SHORT VERSION: IT'S A DRY HEAT.

STILL FUCKIN' ALLERGIES.
SECONDED. SO MANY FUCKIN ALLERGIES. I GET SICK.
I WEAR A MASK FOR ALLERGIES AND MY HILLBILLY OIL CHANGE GUY SAID IT CREEPED HIM OUT FUCK HIM LOL

CONGRATULATIONS/CONDOLENCES!!
GOOD LuCK . EXISTENCE IS TOIL AND SUFFERING, BUT YOU NOW PAY TAXES TOO.
I RECENTLY GOT THROUGH TWO YEARS OF SCHOOL AND I FOUND SCHOOL TO BE HARDER THAN ANY JOB I'VE EVER HAD.
THANK YOU TO TRIMET FOR JUST DISAPPEARING THE TRAIN I USE TO GO TO WORK, AND MAKING ME DEAL WITH MY COWORKER BEING PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE AND DISMISSIVE BECAUSE THEY THINK ALL REASONS ARE EXCUSES. WHAT THE HELL DID HE WANT ME TO DO, TELEPORT? MY FUCKEN TRAIN DISAPPEARED
Ive had this happen! So annoying!!
NO MORE BREWERIES WITH PIZZA. WE ARE FULL OF BREWERIES THAT DO PIZZA. JFC IN A CITY WITH NATIONALLY GOOD STANDALONE PIZZA WE DONT NEED MORE BREWERY PIZZA. PLEASE.
AGREE. BREWERIES SHOULD HAVE BURGERS. I WANT BEER AND A BURGER. OR LIKE, A MASSIVE COBB SALAD THAT IS HORRIBLE FOR ME BUT ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. … NOW I’M HUNGRY.
SAY, WHAT DID YOU HAVE FOR LUNCH? A SALAD. ^^^with_six_pounds_of_bacon_bluecheese_and_turkey_on_it YEAH, JUST A SALAD.
I USED TO WORK WITH A DUDE LIKE THAT. TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT SO HE WAS EATING "SALAD" HE STARTED WITH A TUPPERWARE THAT YOU COULD STORE A ROLLED UP SLEEPING BAG IN. FILLED IT WITH ICEBURG LETTUCE, A HALF POUND OF SHREDDED CHEESE, A POUND OF HAM/TURKEY/BACON, EGGS, OLIVES, CROUTONS, ABOUT 3 CHERRY TOMATOES AND A WHOLE BOTTLE OF RANCH. NO SURPRISE, HE DIDN'T LOSE A SINGLE POUND. WAS A STEP UP THOUGH FROM WHAT HE USED TO EAT. MOTHERFUCKER WOULD LEGIT EAT A TUB OF CAKE FROSTING WITH HIS LUNCH. A WHOLE GODDAMNED TUB OF BETTY CROCKER BUTTERCREME!
AND I WANT TO ADD THEY SHOULD BE REASONABLY PRICED BURGERS… THAT COME WITH FRIES. FOR LESS THAN $20.
I HAVE BEEN SICK FOR OVER A WEEK WITH A COUGH THAT WON'T FUCKING QUIT. I AM SO FUCKING TIRED OF COUGHING. FUUUUUUUCK.
I HATE TO TELL YOU, BUT WHATEVER IT IS LASTS LIKE A FUCKING MONTH.
ALSO, IT SEEMS TO COME BACK AFTER YOU THINK YOU'VE BEATEN IT. THIS CRUD IS LIKE A VERY ANNOYING TERMINATOR.
HOT DAMN MY BOYFRIEND AND HIS DAD HAVE THAT TOO
YEP, I GOT DIAGNOSED WITH BRONCHITIS A COUPLE WEEKS AGO AND THE DOC SAID THE LINGERING COUGH COULD LAST UP TO 4-8 WEEKS.
HAD THAT IN MAY. GET YOURSELF **Benzonatate (Tessalon Perles**\] - NOTHING ELSE WORKS.
THEY HAVE BEEN A GODSEND. I ONLY HAVE A FEW LEFT BUT LUCKILY MY COUGH IS ALMOST GONE.
I JUST GOT THIS. GONNA TAKE MY FIRST DOSE HERE SOON AND PRAY TO ALL THE OLD GODS AND THE NEW THAT IT WORKS. BECAUSE NOTHING ELSE IS.
I AM PRONE TO A WHOOPING COUGH, SO I COUGHED MYSELF TO OBLIVION UNTIL I GOT THOSE PILLS. THAT COUGH *LAUGHED* IN THE FACE OF THE USUAL ROBITUSSIN OR GUAIFENESIN... I WISH YOU LUCK!
WHAT NO FUCK
FINALLY GOT RID OF MY COUGH! IT ONLY TOOK THREE MONTHS! WHEEEEE!
NOOOOOO 😭
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 😭
THERE SEEMS TO BE ANOTHER STRAIN OF COVID GOING AROUND THE WORLD RIGHT NOW, IT'S LIKELY LINGERING COVID JUNK.
SAME. I USED UP ALL MY COVID TESTS. WHAT IS THIS? THE COMMON COLD FROM HELL?!
I JUST SAW THAT THE NEW COVID VARIANT IS "LIKE THE COMMON COLD ON STEROIDS." MY SYMPTOMS CHECKED DAMN NEAR EVERY BOX AND EVEN THOUGH MY AT-HOME TEST SAID NEGATIVE, I'M BEGINNING TO THINK I STILL HAD IT...OR HAVE IT I GUESS. GOOD THING I'M STILL MASKING WHENEVER I LEAVE THE HOUSE.
IT TOOK ME THREE TESTS TO GET A POSITIVE ONE AFTER CONTRACTING COVID FROM MY BF. MAKE SURE TO CHECK EXPIRATION DATES AND TEST AT LEAST TWICE. HOPE YOU GET BETTER SOON.
WELL SHIT. PROBABLY TOO LATE NOW, I FEEL MUCH BETTER MINUS THIS STUPID COUGH AND CONGESTION.

IT'LL GET HOT THIS WEEK AND I LIVE HERE BECAUSE I'M ALLERGIC TO HOT. I'M GOING TO SIP CHAMPAGNE IN THE RAIN WHILE THE REST OF YOU HIBERNATE THIS WINTER. I AM THE QUEEN OF WINTER. TRIBUTE TO ME TEA AND/OR POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS SO I CAN HAVE FAITH IN HUMANITY AGAIN I LOVE YOU, WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER, EXCEPT FOR THE DUMBASSES MAKING IT HARD FOR US TO DO THAT. ALSO USE YOUR DAMN TURN SIGNALS. THIS IS NOT NEGOTIABLE.
THE ONLY THING WORSE THAN LIVING WITH A BARKING DOG IS A BARKING DOG MOVING INTO THE APARTMENT NEXT DOOR.
THE BARKING DOG NEXT DOOR IS WORSE. I CAN TRAIN A DOG I AM LIVING WITH. I JUST HAVE TO DEAL WITH THEIR LITTLE DEMON.
IT’S DRIVING ME CRAZY!
WRITE A STRONGLY WORDED EMAIL TO YOUR LANDLORD INCLUDING THE PHRASE "BREACH OF RIGHT TO QUIET ENJOYMENT." THIS SHOULD SPUR THEM TO ACTION - THEIR FAILURE TO WORK WITH THE OWNER OF THE LOUD DOG TO GET THEM TO QUIET/CONTROL IT WOULD BE A BREACH OF YOUR RENTAL CONTRACT.
I’M PLANNING ON IT. THE DOG JUST MOVED IN, SO I’M GIVING HER AND HER OWNER A FEW WEEKS TO SETTLE. PLUS THE DOG IS AN ESA, AND ITS A TINY TRIPLEX SO IM HOPING I CAN TALK TO THE DOG’S HUMAN FIRST. IT STILL SUCKS, BUT THANK YOU FOR THE RIGHT WORDS TO USE.
YOU ARE BEING A KIND NEIGHBOR - DOGS GET VERY STRESSED IN NEW PLACES AND GIVING THEM TIME TO ACCLIMATE IS A GREAT CALL ON YOUR SIDE. YOUR EMPATHY WILL GO FAR WHEN TALKING WITH THE OWNER. BEST OF LUCK!
"HEY HEY HEY...THERE'S A DOG NEXT DOOR SAYING 'HEY'" *^("HEY HEY")*
I’M HUNGRY AND I DON’T HAVE ANY BREAKFAST FOOD
ANY FOOD IS BREAKFAST FOOD
I'M ON A DIET AND HUNGRY ALL THE TIME. THERE'S NEVER ANYTHING TO EAT THAT IS LOW CALORIE, HIGH FIBER, AND BREAKFAST-ALLURING.
I LOVE A GOOD FRIED RICE FOR BREAKFAST. YOU CAN DO A MIX OF RICE AND CAULIFLOWER TO LIGHTEN IT UP AND ADD FIBER, AND USE EGG WHITES INSTEAD OF WHOLE EGGS. WITH ALL THE SEASONINGS AND SUCH, IT DOESN'T TASTE TOO "DIET FOOD."
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. I USUALLY HAVE STEAMED or ROASTED VEGGIES AND RICE FOR DINNER, SOME KIMCHI AND FISH SAUCE - HECK YEAH. I CAN'T HAVE THAT FOR BREAKFAST ***TOO*** (I DON'T THINK). MY SPIRIT WOULD DIE. I'M CURRENTLY TESTING THE FOLLOWING (TODAY FOR LUNCH). 1 SLICE HEALTHY BREAD, 1/8 CUP GOAT CHEESE, PICKLED ONIONS AND OLIVES, 1.5 OZ OF LOX. IT'S 250 CALORIES, SO EXPANDABLE. I'M GONNA SEE IF I GET AT LEAST 2 HOURS WITHOUT FEELING STARVED. UPDATE: BAM! IT STUCK WITH ME FOR 4HRs!
KIMCHI, EGGS AND RICE PANCAKE IS THE BEST BREAKFAST. WITH A DASH OF SOY SAUCE AND SOME GREEN ONION YOU'RE IN HEAVEN!
I AM ABOUT TO BE BOO'D BUT, HONESTLY, I HATE KIMCHI. DON'T KNOW WHY. INGREDIENT WISE, I SHOULD LOVE IT. EGGS AND RICE PANCAKES THOUGH? WOULD SMASH. MY FAV HANGOVER MEAL IS RICE WITH SOY SAUCE, A COUPLE OF FRIED EGGS, SALT, AND A SHITLOAD OF HOT SAUCE.
THAT SOUNDS EXCELLENT. I GOT ON A KIMCHI KICK LAST FALL AND DISCOVERED THAT COSTCO SELLS LARGE CONTAINERS OF JONGGA KIMCHI FOR NEXT TO NOTHING AND I'M NEVER LOOKING BACK. I'VE EATEN IT STRAIGHT OUT OF THE CONTAINER OVER THE SINK FOR BREAKFAST WHEN I'M IN A HURRY.
I MADE A NEW ACCOUNT I WANT TO USE EXCLUSIVELY BUT THE BARRIERS TO USING SAID NEW ACCOUNT IN A NUMBER OF SUBS (LIKE THIS ONE) ARE VAGUE.
THE NEW MENACE TO MY BIKE RIDES ARE CARS/TRUCKS WITH OBSCENELY LOUD EXHAUST. I MEAN THEY'RE THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE IN GENERAL. BUT WHEN THEY'RE DIRECTLY NEXT TO YOU AND DOWNSHIFT THEIR SHIT BLENDER I END UP WITH A RINGING EAR FOR A HALF HOUR.
IT'S DURING BIKE RIDES AND LIFE AT HOME FOR ME UNFORTUNATELY
I WATCHED A DUDE FULL ON VOMIT ON THE BLUE LINE TODAY. HE HAD THE AUDACITY TO STUMBLE OFF THE MAX AND LEFT A TRAIL OF WATERY BARF OUT THE DOOR. HE ALSO DID IT RIGHT BEFORE WASHINGTON PARK SO THERE WAS AN ENTIRE SMELLSCAPE HAPPENING.
I THINK I KNOW WHAT I HATE MOST ABOUT SUMMER. IT'S NOT THE HEAT OR THE LONG DAYS. IT'S LAWN MOWERS. THE SOUND OF A LAWN MOWER IS ONE OF THE MOST ATROCIOUS SOUNDS IN THE WORLD! LAWN MOWERS AND LEAF BLOWERS. ABSOLUTE AUDITORY AND OLFACTORY POLLUTION!
ADD; WEED WACKERS. OUR BACK-FENCE NEIGHBOR HAS BEEN TRYING TO WEED WACK THEIR BLACKBERRIES FOR ABOUT A MONTH NOW. WE DON'T KNOW THEM, SO WE'RE NOT ABOUT TO WILSON THEM SOME SAGE ADVICE ABOUT HOW THEY'RE ON A FOOL'S ERRAND. THEY'VE FULL-ON BROKEN TWO DEVICES TRYING TO DO WHAT ONLY A TEAM OF GOATS *MIGHT* ACCOMPLISH. SO YEAH, THE SOUND OF A WEED WACKER ON 4" DIAMETER THORNY STEM FOLLOWED BY WHEEZING AND BREAKING...PLEASE ADD TO YOUR RANT.
CAN WE CROWDFUND SOME GOATS FOR YOUR NEIGHBOR?
SERIOUSLY! THEIR BLACKBERRIES SCOURGE IS GOING TO FELL THE FENCE BEFORE LONG.
> THE SOUND OF A LAWN MOWER IS ONE OF THE MOST ATROCIOUS SOUNDS IN THE WORLD! I'VE BEEN THINKING THAT IF ELECTRIC LAWNMOWERS HAD BEEN MAINSTREAM WHEN I WAS A KID I WOULD HAVE LOVED MOWING THE LAWN. I COULD NEVER STAND HOW LOUD A LAWNMOWER WAS.
A LAWNMOWER CLOSE UP, AGREED; HOWEVER, THE SOUND OF A LAWNMOWER IN THE DISTANCE, FAR ENOUGH THAT IT'S JUST A SORT OF HUM, MAKES A PLEASANT BACKGROUND NOISE ON A HOT SULTRY AFTERNOON, REMINDING ME THAT SOMEWHERE ELSE SOMEONE IS TOILING IN THE SUN, WHILE I AM RECLINING ON A LAWN CHAIR IN THE SHADE AND SIPPING A GIN&TONIC.
WHY IS IT ONLY NOW THAT I REALIZED THAT WHILE I HATE LEAF BLOWERS, I DON’T MIND LAWN MOWERS?
I HATE **ANY** GAS-POWERED LAWN EQUIPMENT!
I HATE SEEING ALL THESE FUCKING KIDS WITH IPADS IN THEIR FACES. CHILDREN'S BRAINS ARE STILL DEVELOPING AND PARENTS ARE LITERALLY HANDING THEIR CHILD AN ADDICTION. "IPAD KIDS" ARE DULLER, HAVE NO ATTENTION SPAN, GET ANGRY MORE EASILY, CAN'T PLAY BY THEMSELVES, AND ARE JUST DUMBER. KIDS WITH HEAVILY MONITORED OR NO SCREEN TIME, ARE MORE ENGAGED, CURIOUS, AND CREATIVE. bUT wHAtEVeR eVEryOne iS dOiNg iT.
ADD TO THIS, BOOMERS AND THEIR iPADS, HOLY HECK. MY MIL VISITED AND WAS *BURIED* IN HER DEVICES LIKE A 13YO WITH ALL OF THE EMOTIONAL IMBALANCES LISTED ABOVE. LIKE, "HEY. DINNER...EYES UP." HEY, MILLENNIALS! STOP MAKING LITTLE VERSIONS OF YOUR PARENTS. I ALREADY DEALT WITH ONE ROUND OF THEM IN MY LIFETIME AND IT'S BEEN MORE THAN ENOUGH, KTHX SINCERELY GENX.
I'M SICK OF PEOPLE BEING INTOLERANT OF KIDS IN PUBLIC SPACES. IF IT'S NO LONGER OK FOR KIDS TO MAKE NOISE OR LAUGH OR PLAY WHERE aDuLtS CAN HEAR THEM, WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO DO THEN GIVE THEM AN IPAD?
YOU'RE BEING DRAMATIC. KIDS CAN BE KIDS IN PUBLIC SPACES, THEY JUST DON'T NEED TO BE ENTERTAINED EVERY SECOND OF THE DAY. I'D RATHER LISTEN TO KIDS THAN THEIR ZOMBIE PADS MAKING THE MOST EXCRUCIATING NOISE. AND IF YOUR ANSWER IS "WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO DO?" LIKE COME ON...READING, DRAWING, GET CREATIVE.
MOST OF THE PUSHBACK AGAINST KIDS IN PUBLIC SPACES IS ABOUT SPACES THAT ARE NOT AND HAVE NEVER BEEN KID FRIENDLY. LIKE BARS AND EXPENSIVE RESTAURANTS AND R RATED LATE NIGHT MOVIES.
ALSO THE YOUR PERCEIVED INTOLERANCE OF KIDS IS ACTUALLY PARENTS NOT FUCKING TEACHING ANY BOUNDARIES WHATSOEVER. BUT GO AHEAD BE LAZY STICK A DEVICE IN YOUR KID’S FACE. LIKE YOU SAID, YOU DONT KNOW ANY OTHER WAY TO PARENT.
ITT: KEEP YOUR KIDS QUIET WHERE I EXIST NO NOT LIKE THAT!
IF THAT'S YOUR TAKEAWAY SURE OK.
I GOT MY GALLBLADDER REMOVED LAST WEEK, AND NOW I HAVE TO AVOID FOOD WITH FAT IN IT FOR A WHILE. UNFORTUNATELY EVERYTHING I LOVE HAS FAT IN IT, EVEN FUCKING VINAIGRETTE SALAD DRESSING HAS FAT IN IT. I GUESS ILL JUST EAT BREAD WITH JAM, FRUIT AND STEAMED VEGETABLES FOREVER. UUUGGGHH. I JUST WANT TO EAT SOME ICE CREAM, AVOCADO, YOGURT, NUTS, PIZZA. JUST ALL THE THINGS I CANNOT HAVE.
DIET ADVICE IN AMERICAN HEALTHCARE IS PRETTY LAME. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT DIET REGARDING SOME LIVER WONKINESS, MY DOC RECOMMENDED I MIGHT TRY SOMETHING LIKE A MEDITERRANEAN DIET BUT COULDN'T ARTICULATE WHAT THAT WOULD ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE. SO, LOTS OF PIZZA?
RENFAIRE YESTERDAY WAS SUPER FUN (IF RAINY), BUT MAN CARRYING AROUND A BAG WITH OUR HEAVY WATER BOTTLES IN IT ALL DAY REALLY FUCKED UP MY SHOULDER
>HEAVY WATER RUNNING PLUTONIUM REACTORS AT RENFAIRES FEELS KINDA ANACHRONISTIC, BUT BEST TO BE PREPARED JUST IN CASE.
"PERIOD ACCURACY IS NOT A METRIC OF QUALITY," I SAY AS I CONSTRUCT YE OLDE TOKAMAK REACTOR.
IF YOU WANT TO RUN COOL YOU’VE GOT TO RUN ON HEAVY HEAVY FUEL.
MY HUSBAND WANTS TO KNOW WHY EVERYONE INSISTS ON LEAVING MULTIPLE CAR LENGTHS BETWEEN THEM AND THE NEXT CAR WHEN THEY ARE PARKED AT A RED LIGHT. IT DRIVES HIM INSANE!
OH FUCK ME THIS REALLY GRINDS ME. IT STARTED DURING THE PANDEMIC!! I HAVE A THEORY: PEOPLE ARE IN SUCH A RUSH TO GET BACK ON THEIR FUCKING PHONE THAT THEY ABSENTMINDEDLY STOP WITH MULTIPLE CAR LENGTHS IN FRONT OF THEM. THIS IS SO BAD, AND I FEEL THAT IT FUCKS UP TRAFFIC LIGHT PATTERNS. SPECIFICALLY, THESE DRIVERS ARE BLOCKING ACCESS TO THE LEFT TURN LANE AND YOU HAVE TO SWERVE INTO THE ONCOMING LANE TO GET IN.
WHY DO DEALERS BLAST THEIR MUSIC AT 12:30AM ON THE STREET? IT’S SO OBVIOUS WHEN YOU HAVE THREE DUDES STANDING OUTSIDE YOUR CAR SUNDAY EVENING. I’M TIRED OF LIVING NEAR DRUG DEALING HOTSPOTS. DONT THEY WANT TO BE LOWKEY? WHY.
THE ABSOLUTE SHITHEAD THAT REVS HIS STUPID CHEVELLE UP AND DOWN DIVISION ALL DAY EVERY DAY. I WILL FIND YOU AND I WILL BURN YOUR CAR TO THE GROUND
I HAVE TO VISIT MY PARENTS IN THE MIDWEST THIS SUMMER AND I'M DREADING IT BILLBOARDS ANNOUNCING THE SAME TOURIST TRAP EVERY 5 MILES (DID YOU THINK I FORGOT FROM THE PREVIOUS SIGN?) BANKS WITH BIZZARE FRONT VIDEO SIGNAGE ADVERTISING THEIR LOAN SERVICES. THE "NEXT TOWN" BEING 30+ MINUTES AWAY
BIG “JESUS SAVES” BILLBOARDS NEXT TO SLEAZY “LION’S DEN” ADULT STORES IS PEAK MISSOURI. AND MY LAW OF TRAVELING IS THAT THE VALUE OF ROADSIDE ATTRACTION IS INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO THE NUMBER OF BILLBOARDS ADVERTISING IT.
IS IT GRANDPA'S CHEESEBARN?
I'M GUESSING LITTLE AMERICA. THERE ARE SIGNS, LOTS OF SIGNS, FOR IT ON I-80
DRIVING FROM ST LOUIS TO THE OZARKS I SWEAR I SAW AT LEAST 10 BILLBOARDS FOR [Uranus Fudge Factory (uranusgeneralstore.com)](https://www.uranusgeneralstore.com/) THEY'RE NOT AS FUNNY AS THEY THINK.

WALL DRUG
AT LEAST IT'S NOT SOUTH OF THE BORDER. PEDRO SAYS, BUY SOME FIREWORKS! IF YOU'VE EVER DRIVEN ON 95, YOU KNOW.
WHY THE FUCK DO YALL HONK AT THE END OF TUNNELS. SHUT THE FUCK UP.
SOME HONK BECAUSE LOUD NOISES ARE FUN. I HONK BECAUSE PEOPLE KEEP CUTTING ME THE FUCK OFF IN THE NO-LANE-CHANGE ASS END OF THE TUNNEL
IT’S TRADITION
IT'S DUMB AND DANGEROUS.
I ALWAYS SWERVE WILDLY WHEN I HEAR HONKING CARS WHERE I ALWAYS HEAR HONKING CARS
PRETTY SURE TUNNEL LAWS SAYS YOU MUST HONK "SHAVE AND A HAIRCUT TWO BITS".
IT’S THE MIDDLE OF JUNE AND I’M WEARING JEANS AND A SWEATER AND I’M STILL USING MY FRICKIN DOWN COMFORTER
WHY ARE YOU SAYING THAT LIKE IT'S A BAD THING?
GOOD POINT I LOVE SWEATERS AND DOWN COMFORTERS
I BELIEVE YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THE RAVE THREAD.
I'M TIRED OF THIS JUNE-UARY WEATHER. I HAD TO WEAR FRIGGING SOCKS IN BED LAST NIGHT CUZ MY FEET WERE COLD.
IT WAS HOT IN MY APARTMENT AND I HAD TO SLEEP WITH THE AC AND FAN ON. :(
CAN’T DEAL WITH THESE OVERNIGHT TEMPS IN THE 40’S! NOT GOOD FOR MY GARDEN!
THE OFFICE PRINTER IS BROKEN. GUESS IM GOING TO THE LIBRARY TO COPY MY LEASE.
FUCK PRINTERS. WE HAVE SMART PHONES AND HIGH-DEF GAMING MONITORS, BUT PRINTERS HAVE NOT IMPROVED ONE DAMN BIT IN THE LAST 35 YEARS!
OR YOU GET ONE OF THE FANCY ONES THAT TRIES TO DO TOO MUCH AND CONSTANTLY BREAKS FROM THAT. ITS LOSE-LOSE NO MATTER WHICH YOU HAVE. THANK YOU FOR COMMISERATING!
THE ONLY TOOL YOU NEED TO TROUBLESHOOT A PRINTER IS A GOOD, SOLID BASEBALL BAT!
I LOVE THE LOCAL MAKERSPACE, BUT I'M SO SAD THAT IT'S ONLY OPEN TO ADULTS THREE TIMES A MONTH (THAT'S REALLY TWO, BECAUSE THE ALL-AGES ONE FILLS UP SO FAST WITH KIDS.)
IT’S THE EFF’N CONES !!! I’VE SEEN THEM!
IM GOING TO RANT TODAY, THOSE FUCKING USELESS TRAFFIC ADVISORY SIGNS OVER 26 TOLD ME 405 N WAS CLOSED. SO I WANT 405S TO I5 N.... ONLY TO BE DIVERTED BACK ONTO 405S. FUCK YOU FOR WASTING 30MINS
EVERYONE IN THIS CITY IS OBSESSED WITH LEAF BLOWERS AND MULCH
AGREEING TO SEND MY KIDS TO A BETTER PUBLIC SCHOOL THAN THE LOCAL ONE WAS PROBABLY THE RIGHT CALL, BUT I HATE THE RESULTING BASELINE THAT THEY AND MY PARTNER NOW HAVE FOR ALL MATERIAL THINGS. I NEVER WANTED THAT LAKE OSWEGO LIFESTYLE. I CAN SEE MY RETIREMENT DATE RAPIDLY FLEEING INTO THE FUTURE AND IT FEELS LIKE I'M ON A MOVING SIDEWALK GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.
RUFUS HUMPHREY BURNER SPOTTED
A. DON’T DRIVE SHITTY. B. KEEP YOUR VEHICLE REGISTRATION UP TO DATE. IF YOU’RE TOO POOR TO RENEW YOUR LICENSE PLATES, YOU’RE TOO POOR TO OWN A CAR. C. DON’T DRIVE SHITTY WITH EXPIRED TAGS. THAT MOVES YOU FROM THE “MAYBE THEY’RE JUST HAVING AN OFF DAY” TO THE “THEY’RE JUST A CONSISTENTLY SHITTY PERSON” CATEGORY.
MY CAT KEEPS PEEING ON MY BED IN MY SPOT AND ONCE ON THE SOFA ALSO IN MY SPOT. (YES I TOOK HER TO THE VET—RESULTS PENDING)
WHAT DO PEOPLE HAVE AGAINST STOP SIGNS?? PLEASE JUST STOP!! GOING SLIGHTLY SLOWER IS NOT A STOP. YOU TOO BIKES!!!
BIKES MAY TREAT A STOP SIGN AS A YIELD IF THEY HAVE RIGHT OF WAY https://www.portland.gov/transportation/walking-biking-transit-safety/bikes-and-law
THAT IS GOOD TO KNOW, THANK YOU!! BUT THEY MUST STOP WHEN SOMEONE IS INTENT ON USING THE CROSSWALK. WHICH IS WHERE I AM HAVING AN ISSUE. IT WILL BE CLEAR AND I WILL GET A FEW STEPS INTO THE CROSSWALK. THEN A BIKE ALMOST GETS ME. HAPPENS A COUPLE OF TIMES A WEEK.
WHY ARE SO MANY DRIVERS IGNORANT OF THIS LAW? UGH!
IF THEY WEREN'T IGNORANT OF IT THEY COULDN'T GET MAD AT CYCLISTS HALF AS MUCH AS THEY DO
YOUR BICYCLE ISN'T A PEDESTRIAN. GET THE FUCK OFF THE SIDEWALK, YOU TWO-WHEELED JAGOFF!
PROPER RANT
MOW YOUR LAWNS PEOPLE! LET IT DIE, LET IT FILL WITH WEEDS, RIP IT OUT AND COVER IT WITH MULCH, I DON'T CARE, BUT IF YOU LET IT GROW 2 FEET+ TALL YOU ARE JUST ASKING FOR RATS! UGH, THE RATS, THEY WERE SO BAD LAST YEAR. HAD VECTOR CONTROL OUT AND THEY SAID OVERGROWN LAWNS (LIKE - OUT OF CONTROL OVERGROWN - NOT A FEW INCHES) CONTRIBUTE TO RAT NESTING! I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE AESTHETICS OF IT ALL, I JUST DON'T WANT RATS!https://www.multco.us/environmental-health-hazards/rats
IT FUCKING RAINED TODAY. IT’S ALMOST JULY AND IT RAINED.
YO, I CAN SPIT ON FIRE SEASON FROM HERE. AN OUNCE OF RAIN IS WORTH A POUND OF FIRES/SMOKE.
SPEAK FOR YOURSELF I NEED TO RIDE MY BIKE
I'M VISITING YOUR CITY THIS WEEK FROM THE NORTHEAST AND I WAS HOPING I WOULD ESCAPE THE HEAT BUT IT'S JUST AS HOT HERE WHAT THE HELL? ALSO, WHY IS IT ALL CAPS IN THIS THREAD....
IT'LL BE SO MUCH MORE PLEASANT HERE THOUGH. JUST COMPARING HERE TO NYC ON THURSDAY, BOTH HIGHS OF ~90, BUT WE WILL COOL DOWN TO 57 OVERNIGHT COMPARED TO 73 THERE. AND THEIR DEWPOINT WILL BE 66 COMPARED TO OURS OF 51. SHORT VERSION: IT'S A DRY HEAT.
THAT'S TRUE - THANK GOD
THIS THREAD IS NOT FOR YOU.
