Wow, just wow

Fuck, Portland is worthless. Seattle is just as fucktarded, if not moreso. But at least it's aesthetically pleasing for the most part and home to a lot of industry. Microsoft, Starbucks, Costco, Nintendo, T-Mobile, Expedia, Real Networks, Valve, Amazon, Nordstrom, Paccar, Weyerhauser, etc, etc.

If you're comparing the 2 most pussified cities in America, at least one of them brings in a lot of jobs so you have an excuse to live there. There's only a finite number of times you can get turned down by Nike.

Shit, shortly after graduating from UW a little over 10 years ago I took the first solid-paying corporate gig I could find to start saving up some money. Over the years I'd had plenty of 'why the fuck do I even live here?' moments but for some reason this one stands out vividly and really got my brain to start thinking of other options. I was driving at a snail's pace after work on I-90 and listening to KJR (I was 23...fuck off). As it went to commercial, KJR was doing a promo for their latest and greatest contest. Being a sports channel and all, you'd think the grand prize drawing would net you season tickets to the Hawks/Huskies or some kind of trip to see the M's at Yankee Stadium. But who needs that kind of fleeting garbage when KJR will offset your carbon footprint for a year? Fuck. My. Life.

I have a ten minute commute to my job.

I'm sorry, the judges were looking for "seven", however, the over/under is five.

The Seattle/Portland pissing match is the most pathetic thing ever. You two deserve each other. Scissoring hairy ginered sister city San Fran wannabes the both of you boof towns!

When the rest of the country thinks of Seattle they're thinking of the entire region between Olympia and Everett. Nobody outside of the Northwest knows about Tacoma.

Does that make you feel important? Does it help you feel better about your dick?

And the Sirloins that eat alot like a Ribeye.

I was wondering what she looked like 30-50 years ago? I have no idea how old she is. But, I'm guessing i'd hit the earlier version.

Mississippi's Bigoted New Law Means the Mayor Can't Go To Pascagoula

For the second week in a row, Portland's talking about banning city employees from traveling to a bigoted state, and this time Mayor Charlie Hales' Pascagoula dreams may be dashed.

Hales and First Lady Nancy Hales had planned to travel to Mississippi next month to pay a visit to the USS Portland (actually, the third USS Portland to be owned by the US Navy), named in honor of this city. But after Mississippi became the latest state to pass a terrible, homophobic, discriminatory law yesterday, Hales says he'll put those plans on ice.

"I would be very disappointed if the Mayor of Portland was not able to be there for the launching of the Portland," Hales said this morning, adding "these travel bans, if they are to mean anything, should mean we are not able to go to Mississippi."

Banning travel to states passing what Hales calls "anti-human rights" laws has become a somewhat regular occurrence in Portland City Hall. Just last week, council temporarily banned employee travel to North Carolina because of a law targeting transgender residents. A year before, council banned travel to Indiana for a short time before the state walked back its own controversial law.

What the fuck is wrong with this bored. 8 replies in and not one Wood Hit?! Sure, she's holding an axe, but still.

Disappointing

Definitely projecting. I'm just stating what we? all know.

Don't get me wrong, I like that Tacoma isn't totally soulless and corporate. But the high point of your civic history was when you got the NPRR instead of Seattle.

I think you're missing the point here. It wasn't to compare cities. It was that comparing shit tier cities is dumb. So you went from comparing Seattle to Portland to comparing it to Tacoma. Great. Keep talking shit about Tacoma so people stay away. I'm cool with that.

Your traffic sucks slightly more than ours and our politicians are slightly less retarded! BITCH!

If Portland had any real clout, or balls, theydw ban Intel and Nike from selling into states and employing workers from states they disagree with.

That would show them

I know you're being sarcastic but Intel and Nike have nothing to do with the city of Portland.

I hear they're headquartered in a town named after beavermobile.

There's a town called "Craved It" ???

She even has that stupid ugly Northwest indie garb that costs $700 thing going.
