Mido posted:where does this opinion come from? this place owns Nintendo Kid posted:Portland needs non white people badly. I legit got uncomfortable when I visited Portland and there were only white people around 99 percent of the time it comes from this. portland is like the blandest town. it has absolutely no personality. it is exactly what you would expect when a town is all boring white yuppies like I picked on Detroit earlier but the city has a shitload of personality despite all of its problems. Portland has nothing

my choices were dallas or portland, SF made me really uncomfortable in terms of the culture of the job market i'd be participating in (worthless tech bullshit, oceans of php devs and "entrepreneurial spirit" or lovely meat grindy game jobs), despite growing up in the area (sonoma/marin/napa, also bland whiteyville, probably the worst). gonna miss the north bay underground rave scene though  i'll live in a "real" city someday, i really liked the feel of chicago when i visited edit* if my job path in life ever leads me to find myself walking around a convention with a hadoop hat and a mongodb shirt you have full permission to execute me on sight

It's just not the sort of city to idolize or hold up as truly great, even Seattle is better on the whole.

im not afraid of fischmech, all i've done is assert things based on my living experience and i can say for sure portland is not without culture and it doesn't sound like anyone commenting here has spent more than a weekend here on some bullshit conference, walkign around with a laptop bag and taking the redline to the convention center, maybe wandering out and finding hot lips pizza edit: all cities are lovely you live you die you get taxed

hey assholes levar burton continues to own http://thinkprogress.org/culture/20...-would-love-to/quote:So number one, Reading Rainbow was not cancelled because it was not effective. Reading Rainbow was the most used television resource in our nation’s classroom. In 2009, it was [cancelled] due to No Child Left Behind. That government policy made a choice between teaching the rudiments of reading and fostering a love of reading. So the idea that I am trying to somehow revive a failed endeavor is bullshit. That’s right. I said it. Bullshit.

Nintendo Kid posted:so you're one of those WAH PROPERTY TAXES weirdos ok. The big Newspaper Comment Meme here right now is "Abolish property taxes, you never actually own your home because you have to rent it from the government!" Boy do they get mad when you suggest that they have to have "skin in the game" in their community and they get even angrier if you suggest that if they can't afford the property taxes they can't afford the house and they should live within their means.
