@megan I grew up in a small hick town 20 minutes across the river from Portland where I was the only Jewish family and there was one black family. In the 90s Portland was the only place with a large BIPOC and a significant AAPI population and I certainly wasn’t shocked by it, I liked… Read More

In the 90s Portland was culturally diverse and ‘Portland weird’ was genuine not a hipster label to be cool. It was clean, well maintained, and you felt safe. The homeless population was generally non-violent, kind people who seemed to have pride in the city. When I visited 5 years… Read More

The Tomorrow War was so unoriginal and disappointing considering how much they tried to hype it a their summer blockbuster. Take Aliens, Independence Day, Pacific Rim, a few other future invasion type flicks and add a dash of ‘family first, divorce will ruin lives’ and that’s the… Read More

Some of these are proof that getting a barber or cosmetology license doesn’t make someone good, it sometimes means they spent a lot of hours practicing bad techniques! Never ask for a fade, flat top, or high and tight unless you know for sure the person cutting your hair has done… Read More

@annie and you clearly still need a hug! You are the type of employee customers hate because you are a guideline enforcing robot without the common sense to know when it’s appropriate to make exceptions for the benefit of customer service!
