/u/remotectrl why wouldn't you just ban the poster for x-linking to a drama subreddit and clean the thread instead of locking it? Seems like you just want to take the easy way out
Sounds about par for the course for people that live in Portland. I saw so many junkies and gutter punks when I was there. People living in tents and fiending
Yea I mean what kind of fucking cunt scumbag comes on a sub unrelated to a tragedy and posts a huge paranoid rambling trying to get internet attention and make something so tragic, about their own mental breakdowns?? And then proceeds to argue with every poster until mods shut it down. What a circle jerk!
Its interesting because I view the Portland subreddit as basically nothing more than the rich yuppy transplants, who do nothing but bitch about the homeless all the time from their luxury apartments
As a portland native, the homeless dont bother me nearly as much as the people who cheerlead gentrification, and then wonder why there are so many homeless after doubling everyones rent in the course of a few years
It is that too, and I agree, but most the horribleness comes from the native absolutists and circle jerk each other all day. The mods are some of the worst on any sub I've encountered.
My view of them is very similar. I unsubscribed from the subreddit a year or two ago because I couldn't stand it anymore (and I was tired of every single comment getting downvoted) but with the shitty reddit localization stuff in /r/popular I started seeing it again. I made it 2 weeks before I blocked it altogether. I honestly don't get it. Most of the people I would meet in Portland are chill and at least reasonably decent people but somehow the entire subreddit is full of mediocre assholes.
Yea, I suppose all those law enforcement, and intelligence agents that are paid to be paranoid for the benefit of safety don't have jobs. Lol, you're a joke :)
And look at you, doing the paranoia work for free when you could get paid for it. I'm not the joke that gets paranoid when shit happens. You live in the fucking Portland metro area. Contrary to what the local news stations say, shit like that happening here is extremely rare. You really have no idea what living in fear is like. I grew up in Tacoma during the late 70s until the mid 90s. That fucking place was hardcore. Motherfuckers could get shot because the day was sunny. Motherfuckers could get stabbed because someone's car got rain on it. People need to adapt to their area and be aware of what kind of crimes actually happen in the area. There is no reason to live in fear for events that will very likely never happen to you. It's about as ludicrous as worrying about dying in a train crash when you never ride a train.
I live about 80 miles from Portland. I still don't think it's far enough, but it's certainly better than when I lived 70 miles from Seattle. I lived in Portland for some time and I don't remember it being like that at all. Being ultra paranoid like that can't be good for their health. I would rather die doing shit I like, not under a bed cowering in fear.
By the way Joan, they certainly told you that you're doing gay wrong.
Instead of being reactive, maybe we should be proactive and compile a list of dangers we should to be aware of. I'll start, but I'm at work so this list will be far from complete:
heart disease
cancer
automobile fatalities
slipping in the shower
downed power lines
serial killers
falling vending machines
falling coconuts
venomous snakes
alt-righters with a drivers license
antifa with bike-locks
...gotta go, but feel free to add to the list. Please, fellow dramanauts, be aware of the dangers you face everyday when if you leave your house.
Having lived approximately 80 miles away from Portland the majority of my life, I can agree with the sentiment. On a slightly related note, why does Seattle smell the way it does?
I could only imagine it's the meth from Tacoma during the 80s-90s mixing with the heroin from Seattle. It's really due to the seafood processing that goes on in the area. I never really noticed it too much when I went there as a kid. I noticed it when I flew up there in the late 90s to visit my father.
There's this great book by Benjamin Percy called Red Moon. Well, the book is just OK, but a large portion of the plot centers around a car bomb detonating at an event in downtown Portland, which is pretty cool.

Mods in /r/Portland definitely take the easy way out. They also defend the regulars in there that are trash people.

Yea, the city is turning to trash, and the sub reddit is one of the worst I've ever seen. A huge circle jerk and some down right rotten human beings.

1 Triggered4 2017-10-02
I mean I'm that horribleness and they go out of their way to make sure I'm banned to ensure no one interrupts the 100k income clubs circle jerk
I actually think the mod team does a pretty good job, I just happen to disagree with the tone they want to enforce.

How do you have a job? I don't see someone with the level of paranoia you have keeping a job for long.

Paranoia and acknowledging the reality it could happen a and staying aware are not the same thing.

Being vigilant and being paranoid is pretty much the same thing. They both rely on some degree of paranoia.
1 ShakleMeNot 2017-10-02
Nope.
