Would definitely love to see less of the doom and gloom porn that has been so prevalent Portland Reddit. I think there’s certain a time and place for discussing significant news events that happen in town, but I was really really sick of seeing all the doom and gloom porn of Portland Reddit.
I stopped going to Reddit at the start protest and haven’t been back, and while I’m definitely feeling pretty out of touch on local goings on and Timbers news, it’s been refreshing to not have my day filled with the endless negative posts about our current ills.
Definitely not saying I want to ignore what’s been going on, it’s pretty hard to ignore, but if/when I need to know about that stuff I’ll seek that news out.
I don’t know the right answer to make that happen without some more heavy handed moderating (which I am not advocating for either), as at least some of the folks posting that stuff have a clear agenda and will swayed by appeals to out better nature like this. But I am definitely in favor of this place becoming a more positive place for community engagement and not another next door or battle ground for political/ideological troll warfare.
In short, I am emphatic YES to everything you said!
Note: the header mentions Burnside bridge but the body of the article talking about Broadway bridge instead which seems to be the actual bridge having inspections/closure. In the body it mentions the bike/foot section remaining open and the street car continuing to run, so it’s very likely the Burnside mention in the header is a typo.
Despite the city ban (or perhaps in spite of the city ban?) this year was off the fucking hook for fireworks. The duration and intensity of them was well beyond what I’ve previously experienced in living on this neighborhood for the last 15ish years. Fuckers.
When sleeping, normally 68. During the day it can vary a little depending on what the weather outside is doing and if we’ve just come inside from extra hot or cold weather. We’ve got a mini split heat pump though, so typically we’re only running the inverter in whatever room(s) we’re in rather than keeping all the units on at a consistent temp.
