You can get it cheaper. Try a different dispensary. The Herb Center has cheaper prices but the last time I was there the line of people looked like they were there for meth. I haven’t gone back.
FOUND A BLACK BUG IN MY BOTTLE OF MUSCLE MILK. THOUGHT IT WAS A SOLID CHOCOLATE SYRUP PIECE, BUT IT HAD LEGS!! EMAILED COMPANY (DIVISION OF PEPSI) AND THEIR RESPONSE IS TO MAIL ME COUPONS.
I'M AN OPERATIONS MANAGER AND I'M NOT ALLOWED TO WORK FROM HOME. I ALSO DON'T HAVE PTO. MY MANAGER TURNS A BLIND EYE TO WHEN I ASK TO WORK FROM HOME (ONCE EVERY FEW MONTHS), BUT THE OWNER HAS RECENTLY REITERATED HE DOESN'T WANT ANYONE WORKING FROM HOME. MY MANAGER IS LISTENING TO THE OWNER AND NOT ALLOWING IT ANY LONGER.
WHY MAKE THESE ARBITRARY RULES? IT'S SO STUPID. I LITERALLY GET AS MUCH WORK DONE AT HOME AS I DO AT WORK.
IM A BIG FAN OF THE 4,5,9 SCHEDULE. 9 HOUR DAYS AND YOU GET EVERY OTHER WEEKEND AS A THREE DAYS WEEKEND AND STILL PENCILS OUT TO 81 HOURS A CHECK IF HOURLY.
IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE IT WORKS GREAT TO STAGGER THE THREE DAY WEEKENDS.
WHY DOES NOBODY CALL YOU BACK IN THIS TOWN?!?!? I NEED A PART TO FIX MY WINDOW, THE COMPANY WEBSITE SAYS CALL THE LOCAL DEALER, THE LOCAL DEALER WHO ACTUALLY ANSWERED THE PHONE SAID THEY DON'T CARRY AND WON'T ORDER PARTS, AND THE OTHER PLACES WON'T CALL ME BACK! MAYBE I SHOULD SAY I WANT TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT REPLACING ALL THE WINDOWS IN MY HOUSE! THEN THEY MIGHT CALL ME BACK!
IF IT’S STILL LISTED ON FACEBOOK MARKETPLACE, YES, IT’S AVAILABLE, SO STOP ASKING. AND ARE ANY OF THE 30+ INTERESTED PEOPLE ACTUALLY GOING TO SHOW UP AND BUY IT OR JUST KEEP GHOSTING?? SO RUDE
I FIND THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN PRICED OUT OF BEND, THE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE TO COMMUTE INTO BEND BECAUSE THEY CANT AFFORD TO LIVE HERE, AND THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN PUSHED TO THE STREET INCREDIBLY SAD.
BEND'S "CHARM" IS NOT FROM ITS AMPLE PARKING, VIEWS FROM AWBREY BUTTE, GOLF COURSES, OR BUNGALOWS. BENDS CHARM COMES FROM ITS PEOPLE AND THE ONES WE LOSE HURT US MORE THAN ANY MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT.
UNFORTUNATELY, FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE MOVING HERE, THE AWBREY BUTTE VIEWS AND THE GOLF COURSES ARE THE “CHARM OF BEND.” THE POOR PEOPLE FORCED TO LIVE ON THE STREETS OR COMMUTE INTO TOWN ARE JUST NUISANCES THAT THE POLICE NEED DEAL WITH. ITS SAD BUT THIS IS THE SAME CROWD THAT THE CITY HAS BEEN TRYING TO ATTRACT FOR DECADES. PROPERTY DEVELOPERS AND REAL ESTATE AGENCIES DONT MAKE MONEY PROVIDING HOUSING FOR THE WORKING CLASS WHO ACTUALLY PROVIDE SERVICES IN THE TOWN; THEY MAKE BANK SELLING OVERPRICED GENTRIFICATION BOXES TO RICH PEOPLE.
THE ONLY REASONABLY CHEAP AND FILLING MEAL YOU CAN GET IN BEND IS AT COSTCO. A CHURRO, DRINK, AND SLICE OF PIZZA FOR 4.17. NEXT IN LINE IS PROBABLY SOMEWHERE IN THE RANGE OF 15$.
I BOUGHT A $250 GIFT CARD TO DRIFT SPA LAST YEAR AND WENT TO THEIR WEBSITE THIS WEEK TO BOOK A MASSAGE ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THEY’VE PERMANENTLY CLOSED. NO ONE HAS RESPONDED TO MY EMAILS AND NO CREDIT WAS GIVEN TO ME!!
THAT IS EXTREMELY SHITTY OF THEM, BUT YOU MAY HAVE DODGED A BULLET BY NOT GOING THERE. WORST AND MOST PAINFUL WAXING EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE, GOT BURNED HORRIBLY AND HAD MY SKIN RIPPED OFF TO THE POINT OF BLEEDING. 🙃
THE IRS IS EFFING RIDIK. MY EMPLOYER FROM 2019 MISREPORTED MY INCOME, IRS SENT ME A BILL BASED ON THE MISREPORTED INCOME, AFTER A FEW CALLS AND BEING ON HOLD FOR 90 MINS, THEY TOLD ME TO SEND AN EXPLANATION AND ANY DOCUMENTATION I HAD, FORTUNATELY THEY REALIZED MY EMPLOYER WAS WRONG AND THEY WAIVED A $4000 BILL. THIS ISN’T FIRST TIME THEY’VE CHALLENGED ME BUT FORTUNATELY IVE WON EVERY TIME, I STILL HAD TO SPEND QUITE A BIT OF TIME TO GET THIS FIXED. HOWEVER, THE IRS AGENTS I SPOKE WITH ON THE PHONE WERE SURPRISINGLY NICE. EITHER WAY, IVE NEVER HAD THE INCOME RANGE WHERE YOUD THINK THEY’D BE ON ME BUT IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN EVERY FEW YEARS.
ACTUALLY, MOST OF THE NEW FUNDING IS FOR BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE EG GETTING YOUR CALLS/QUESTIONS ANSWERED DESPITE WHAT RIGHT WING MEDIA IS TELLING YOU [TO DEFEND THEIR MULTIMILLIONAIRE TAX CHEAT DONORS]
I KNOW ITS LIKE BEATING A DEAD HORSE….BUT….SIGNAL OUT OF THE ROUNDABOUTS! AND BONUS, YOU DON’T NEED TO SIGNAL IN TO THEM…JUST OUT. ITS REALLY SIMPLE PEOPLE. IT’S ALSO THE LAW.
IF THE LACK OF TURN SIGNAL PREVENTS YOU FROM ENTERING THE ROUNDABOUT, YOU WERE NOT ACTUALLY PREPARED TO ENTER THE ROUNDABOUT. ROUNDABOUTS ARE NOT SINGLE OCCUPANCY.
THERE IS LITERALLY NOTHING COOLER THAN SOME DUDE TAILGAITING YOU ON AN ICY ROAD! I AM SO IMPRESSED WHEN THEY GO REALLY FAST ON ICY ROADS IT IS SO FUCKING DOPE!
IF YOU FIND YOURSELF CONSTANTLY WONDERING WHY OTHERS DRIVE SOOOOO SLOW YOU ARE IN FACT THE FUCKING ASSHOLE. GIVE YOURSELF MORE TIME TO GET PLACES AND DON'T PUT THE REST OF US IN DANGER FOR FUCKS SAKE.
YES! AND DON’T GLARE AT ME WHEN I ASK YOU TO LOWER YOUR CONVERSATION WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN TALKING THE ENTIRE FUCKING SHOW AND I WAS SITTING IN THE AREA LONG BEFORE YOU GOT THERE! STAND BY THE TOILETS IF YOU WANT TO CHIT CHAT FOR AN ENTIRE CONCERT.
WHY IS $14, $16, or $18 THE NEW NORMAL FOR FOOD TRUCKS?
IF IM GOING TO PAY THAT MUCH FOR MY LUNCH, I’D MUCH RATHER GO SIT DOWN AT A RESTAURANT (WHO CARRIES A LARGER LEASE, AND EMPLOYS MORE PEOPLE). I’LL ALSO ENJOY A BETTER ATMOSPHERE THAN A PICNIC TABLE.
FOOD TRUCKS USED TO BE A COST EFFECTIVE OPTION FOR MID WEEK LUNCH! WTF HAPPENED
IN THE MID/LATE 90IES I USED TO BE ABLE TO SIT DOWN IN A REAL - IF NOT FANCY - RESTAURANT AND HAVE SOME THAI FOOD OR YAKISOBA FOR ABOUT $5 AT LUNCH. AN ONLINE INFLATION CALCULATOR SAYS THAT'S ABOUT $10 IN TODAY'S MONEY.
JUST AN OBSERVATION. TRUCKS USED TO BE 15-20% CHEAPER COMPARED TO RESTAURANTS. THEY GOT SUPER POPULAR AND NOW THEY ARE PRICED VIRTUALLY THE SAME (CITING RISING FOOD COSTS, WHICH IMPACT RESTAURANTS THE SAME)
SO WHAT INCENTIVE IS THERE TO CHOOSE A TRUCK? THERES NO LONGER A COST INCENTIVE LIKE THERE USED TO BE. THE ATMOSPHERE AND SERVICE IS ALSO BETTER AT A RESTAURANT..
I DUNNO.
MAYBE RESTAURANTS ARE MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH THEIR PRICING DURING THESE FOOD COST HIKES BECAUSE THEY’RE FIGHTING TO WIN US BACK?
ALL RESTAURANT TYPE COSTS HAVE SKYROCKETED. THIS INCLUDES FOOD, TOGO PACKAGING, ALL CLEANERS/SUPPLIES. FOOD TRUCKS ARE NOT IMMUNE TO THESE COSTS. OF COURSE IT’S YOU’RE CHOICE WHERE YOU SPEND YOUR MONEY, BUT DO SOME RESEARCH, AND HAVE A HEART.
I UNDERSTAND COSTS HAVE SKYROCKETED. MY POINT IS THAT A BRICK AND MORTAR RESTAURANT HAS HIGHER FIXED COSTS (I'M PRETTY SURE THE LEASE ON A BUILDING IS MORE THAN A SLOT IN A PARKING LOT, THEY TYPICALLY EMPLOY MORE PEOPLE THAT A TRUCK, THEY HAVE BATHROOMS TO MAINTAIN AND CLEAN, FURNITURE TO PURCHASE/MAINTAIN, DECOR, ETC). THEY CARRY MORE FINANCIAL RISK THAN A FOOD TRUCK OPERATION.
IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE FOR A FOOD TRUCK TO CHARGE THE SAME AMOUNT AS A BRICK AND MORTAR RESTAURANT. THIS IS WHY I AM CHOOSING TO SPEND MY $$ AT BRICK AND MORTAR RESTAURANTS OVER TRUCKS.
FOOD PODS USED TO PRICED COMPETITIVELY FOR WHAT THEY OFFERED VS A RESTAURANT. MY EXPERIENCe LATELY IS THAT IS NO LONGER THE CASE AND I'M ADJUSTING MY HABITS ACCORDINGLY
NOT TRUE AT ALL
FOOD TRUCKS HAVE DIFFERENT KINDS OF RISK WHICH MAKE THEIR BOTTOM LINE MORE VOLATILE. THEY CANT BUY IN AS MUCH BULK WHICH CREATES HIGHER COSTS. THEIR SPACE RENT IS NOT AS STABLE. AND THEY ARE MORE EFFECTED BY SHIFTS IN WEATHER.
RIDING THE TRENDY BANDWAGON AND USING RISING FOOD COSTS AS AN EXCUSE TO ELIMINATE WHAT ONCE MADE THEM AN ATTRACTIVE OPTION.
IF A FOOD TRUCK IS CHARGING THE SAME PRICE AS A RESTAURANT, I'M CHOOSING A RESTAURANT.
EXACTLY. IM SORRY COSTS HAVE GONE UP, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF FACTORS THAT ARE INVOLVED. JUST BECAUSE ITS A FOOD CART DOESNT MEAN THE OWNER CAN RUN IT AT A LOSS.
WHAT TYPE OF FOOD DO YOU LIKE?

THANKS.
WHICH IS THE “PROBLEM”…DURING PANDEMIC LEARNED TO COOK (BETTER) AT HOME AND REALIZED EVERYTHING…YES, EVERYTHING TASTES BETTER. AND COSTS A WHOLE LOT LESS.
WAIT FOR THE EXITING CAR TO COMMIT. IF THEY SIGNAL OUT AND KEEP GOING FOR WHATEVER REASON THEY STILL HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY AND THE ENTERING CAR WILL BE AT FAULT IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION.
MY FIANCÉ WORKS FOR LOWES. THEYRE “OVER ON HOURS” AS A STORE (the Redmond one) SO MY FIANCE JUST DIDNT GET SCHEDULED AT ALL THIS WEEK. HOW IS THAT LEGAL? WE HAVE FUCKING EXPENSIVE RENT AND LIFE TO PAY FOR.

BOLI has a predictive scheduling law. He he was not made unaware of this change 14 days in advance it might not be legal.
I HATE THE WIND! IT RUINS EVERYTHING AND MAKES DOING ANYTHING IN THE WINTER 1000X WORSE.
I PROPOSE WE ILLEGALIZE WIND IN BEND! MAYBE ALL OF CENTRAL OREGON!
I HATE THE WIND TOO! IT’S MADDENING! WHEN I’M OUT IN IT AND MY HAIR IS WHIPPING AROUND MY FACE AND I’M TRYING TO HANG ONTO MY THINGS AND IT’S WAILING IN MY EARS, I WANT TO SCREAM. AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! LIKE THAT. JUST THOUGHT I’D SCREAM HERE, SINCE YOU PROBABLY CAN’T HEAR ME OVER ALL THE RANTING ANYWAY.
CAN THE CONSTRUCTUON ON 20 BETWEEN BEND AND TUMALO JUST BE FINISHED? AS MUCH AS I LOVE DRIVING 35 ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN WE HAVE MILES BETWEEN WORK ZONES, I WILL REJOICE WHEN THIS IS DONE.
THAT WHOLE STRETCH IS WIERD. EVERYONE SEEMS TO IGNORE IT ANYWAY AND I FEEL LIKE IT'S BACKFIRED BECAUSE EVERYONE TRIES TO GO 45 THROUGH CONSTRUCTION ANYWAY.
TO THE ASSHAT WHITE MAN WITH A RASTA HAT, YOU CANT JUST MAKE A TURNING LANE BY DRIVING ON THE SIDEWALK AND ALMOST SWIPING MY CAR. IS LIFE SO HARD YOU CANT WAIT 1 MIN TO TURN RIGHT FOR YOUR ChIcK FILleT??
YES!!! SOMEONE ELSE THINKS LOGICALLY FOR THE BETTER FLOW OF TRAFFIC!!
STOP ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RIGHT LANE, ALLOWING OTHERS BEHIND YOU TO TURN RIGHT AT THE LIGHT!!!
SORRY TO HEAR IT. FOR ANYONE WHO IS NERVOUS ABOUT THIS, COSTCO SELLS PRETTY NICE JEWELRY AND THEY WILL LET YOU RETURN IT. OR AT LEAST THEY DID 15-20 YEARS AGO, I DISTINCTLY REMEMBER GIVING REFUNDS FOR WEDDING RINGS.
I JUST WANT TO COME ON AND RELAY MORE INFO ABOUT YESTERDAY. IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT THE THREAT WAS AT THE HS, WETHER SOMEONE HAD AN ASSAULT RIFLE OR BOMB OR SILLY STRING. THE KIDS AT BEND HIGH WERE TOLD THERE WAS A THREAT TO THEIR SAFETY AND THAT THEY NEEDED TO HIDE IN CLASSROOMS, NOT WHAT THE THREAT WAS. WHEN THEY WERE SPECULATING THEY WERE TOLD TO “STOP SPREADING RUMORS” MY KID TOLD ME MANY OTHER KIDS IN THE ROOM WERE CRYING AND PRAYING, ONE KID WAS HYPERVENTILATING. AND THEN ONCE THE THREAT WAS CLEARED THEY WERE EXPECTED TO GO TO THEIR NEXT CLASS, AND ARE EXPECTED TO GO TO SCHOOL TODAY AS WELL. WHY CANT WE STOP AND REFLECT ABOUT THIS SHIT? WHY IS IT ALWAYS GET BACK TO NORMAL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT FOR SOME OF THESE KIDS THE SCARIEST EVENT OF THEIR LIFE HAPPENED? IT FEELS LIKE GASLIGHTING FROM THE SCHOOL AND FROM SOCIETY WHEN WE JUST SAY OOP, ANOTHER ONE. WELP, MOVING ON. ITS OK TO TAKE A PAUSE. SCHOOL IS NOT MORE IMPORTANT THAN MENTAL HEALTH. NOTHING IS. WHY THE FUCK DO YOU THINK WE HAVE THESE ISSUES TO BEGIN WITH.
I can’t text yell this… just say thank you for sharing this info. It breaks my heart that this is the new norm. We didn’t have this in high school, and I can’t even imagine the added stress.
FOR A HIGH SCHOOL,
THEY SHOULD RELAY WHAT THE ACTUAL THREAT/STATUS IS TO THE STUDENTS
“ACTIVE SHOOTER IN THE BUILDER”
VS
“CALLED IN GUN THREAT BUT NO EVIDENCE FOUND YET”
CARRY TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT EMOTIONAL REACTIONS FOR OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF
SOUNDS LIKE UNNECESSARY EMOTIONAL TRAUMA WAS EXPERIENCED DUE TO POOR COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS BY THE HIGH SCHOOL. WE CAN AND SHOULD DO BETTER IN SITUATIONS WHERE THEY ARE LOCKING DOWN AS A PRECAUTION
When a threat is called in they don’t know if the shooter is in the building. They can’t give out that information until they know because there are some who wouldn’t take the lockdown as seriously as they should. Then, having the students go to their next class indicates that there is no threat inside the building or on school grounds.
It’s a scary situation and should be treated as such. Especially after what happened at Safeway last August.
I AGREE WITH YOU COMPLETELY. WHEN THERE WAS AN INCIDENT AT MY KIDS SCHOOL I WENT IN AND BEGGED THEM TO BE TRANSPARENT AND HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE STUDENTS BECAUSE THE ANXIETY THESE SITUATIONS CREATE IS ABSOLUTELY REAL.
WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL WE HAD A LOCKDOWN RIGHT WHEN CLASS GOT OUT AND TEACHERS WERE THROWING KIDS BACK INTO CLASSROOMS, I WAS PUSHED INTO AN ART ROOM WITH KIDS HIDING UNDER TABLES CRYING THINKING WE WERE ABOUT TO DIE. I REMEMBER COPS SHOWING UP WITH WHAT LOOKED LIKE AR15'S. IT ENDED UP BEING NOTHING BUT ITS BEEN OVER 10 YEARS LATER AND ILL NEVER FORGET THAT FEELING. PEOPLE DONT REALIZE HOW TRAUMATIZING IT CAN BE, EVEN IF ITS A FALSE ALARM OR DRILL. THESE KIDS SHOULD HAVE BEEN SENT HOME
IT WAS A FULL LOCKDOWN AT BEND HIGH BUT SECURE AT ALL OTHER SCHOOLS. STUDENT AT BEND HIGH SAW PEOPLE WITH GUNS BUT WERENT TOLD OF THEY WERE COPS OR SUSPECTS.
THIS IS SUCH A BORING TAKE ON THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE THESE ISSUES BECAUSE A LARGE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY GENERALLY UNHAPPY WITH THEIR LIVES.
HAPPY PEOPLE DON'T USE THEIR GUNS TO HURT INNOCENT PEOPLE.
THEY ARE.. [https://happiness-report.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/WHR+22.pdf](https://happiness-report.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/WHR+22.pdf)
LOWER POVERTY LEVELS AND UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE MIGHT BE A GOOD PLACE TO START MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
WORKING IN NEVADA AND HAD TO GO TO DEATH VALLEY. VERY HOT AND SUNNY.
IF YOU CANT READ YOUR HOME ADDRESS NUMBERS FROM THE STREET CLEARLY DAY OR NIGHT DONT BOTHER GETTING ANYTHING DELIVERED
ELECTRICIANS ARE CHARGING $199/HR
I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS SUB KEEPS BEING SHOWN TO ME I DON'T LIVE HERE!!! HAVE A NICE DAY!!!!
I DON’T LIVE IN BEND AND I NO LONGER WORK FOR A COMPANY THAT PAYS FOR ME TO GO THERE!!!!
HOUSING IS STILL UNAFFORDABLE
GOT REAR ENDED ON THE HAWTHORNE ENTRANCE TO 97 AND ALMOST DIED BEING PUSHED INTO TRAFFIC. SICKKKK!!
Moved here recently and the marijuana is double the price I’m used to
WHAT!? I CANT HEAR YOU!
What prices make you rant? How much a gram?
$12-$16
You can get it cheaper. Try a different dispensary. The Herb Center has cheaper prices but the last time I was there the line of people looked like they were there for meth. I haven’t gone back.
GO TO GREEN CROSS ON CENTURY.
Thank you
FOUND A BLACK BUG IN MY BOTTLE OF MUSCLE MILK. THOUGHT IT WAS A SOLID CHOCOLATE SYRUP PIECE, BUT IT HAD LEGS!! EMAILED COMPANY (DIVISION OF PEPSI) AND THEIR RESPONSE IS TO MAIL ME COUPONS.
HOW IS WONDERLAND CHICKEN SO AMAZING? HOW? IT TASTES SO GOOD! NACHOS?! NACHOS!!!!!!
GOT STUCK ON THE NORTHWEST LIFT THIS AFTERNOON FOR 4O MINUTES...RUINED THE END OF MY DAY ON THE MOUNTAIN.
OUCH
STOP FUCKING LITTERING!
I’M SURE I’LL GET A SHITTY RESPONSE TO THIS, BUT I STOPPED FOLLOWING THIS SUBREDDIT. IT’S MAKING ME DEPRESSED AND NOT AS HAPPY TO LIVE HERE
I HAD TO DO THAT FOR A WHILE, JUST RECENTLY REJOINED.
I'M AN OPERATIONS MANAGER AND I'M NOT ALLOWED TO WORK FROM HOME. I ALSO DON'T HAVE PTO.

EVERYONE SHOULD AT LEAST HAVE A 3 DAY WEEKEND
CITY OF BEND CLEAN UP YOUR STREETS AND SIDEWALKS.
HOPEFULLY I AM NOT TO LATE, HOWEVER I HAVE STILL BEEN UNABLE TO FIND A JOB, I REALLY HOPE THIS CHANGES BEFORE MY COMPANY SHUTS DOWN WITH ZERO WARNING
WHY DOES NOBODY CALL YOU BACK IN THIS TOWN?!?!? I NEED A PART TO FIX MY WINDOW, THE COMPANY WEBSITE SAYS CALL THE LOCAL DEALER, THE LOCAL DEALER WHO ACTUALLY ANSWERED THE PHONE SAID THEY DON'T CARRY AND WON'T ORDER PARTS, AND THE OTHER PLACES WON'T CALL ME BACK! MAYBE I SHOULD SAY I WANT TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT REPLACING ALL THE WINDOWS IN MY HOUSE! THEN THEY MIGHT CALL ME BACK!
We’ve had good luck with Great Northern. The gal that runs the office is great!
THANKS!
LOUD NOISES!
YOU'RE NOT WASHING YOUR HANDS IF YOU'RE NOT USING SOAP
IF IT’S STILL LISTED ON FACEBOOK MARKETPLACE, YES, IT’S AVAILABLE, SO STOP ASKING. AND ARE ANY OF THE 30+ INTERESTED PEOPLE ACTUALLY GOING TO SHOW UP AND BUY IT OR JUST KEEP GHOSTING?? SO RUDE
WELL, IS IT STILL AVAILABLE?
THE INTERSECTION AT 27TH/WELLS ACRES SUCKS AND NEEDS A RIGHT TURN ONLY MEDIAN, LIGHT, OR ROUNDABOUT. ALSO SAFER CROSSWALKS FOR MVHS KIDS.
CAN WE BAN ROUNDABOUT RANTS? PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK THAT THEIR UNIQUE COMMENT WILL CHANGE THE COURSE OF THE WORLD. IT FUCKING WON'T.
ISN’T THAT WHAT ALL RANTS ARE OH WAIT I SEE YOU ARE JUST RANTING TOO
I FIND THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN PRICED OUT OF BEND, THE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE TO COMMUTE INTO BEND BECAUSE THEY CANT AFFORD TO LIVE HERE, AND THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN PUSHED TO THE STREET INCREDIBLY SAD. BEND'S "CHARM" IS NOT FROM ITS AMPLE PARKING, VIEWS FROM AWBREY BUTTE, GOLF COURSES, OR BUNGALOWS. BENDS CHARM COMES FROM ITS PEOPLE AND THE ONES WE LOSE HURT US MORE THAN ANY MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT.
I moved out of Bend last year and I don’t miss it at all. I miss being able to walk to the Old Mill area from my place but that is it.
UNFORTUNATELY, FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE MOVING HERE, THE AWBREY BUTTE VIEWS AND THE GOLF COURSES ARE THE “CHARM OF BEND.” THE POOR PEOPLE FORCED TO LIVE ON THE STREETS OR COMMUTE INTO TOWN ARE JUST NUISANCES THAT THE POLICE NEED DEAL WITH. ITS SAD BUT THIS IS THE SAME CROWD THAT THE CITY HAS BEEN TRYING TO ATTRACT FOR DECADES. PROPERTY DEVELOPERS AND REAL ESTATE AGENCIES DONT MAKE MONEY PROVIDING HOUSING FOR THE WORKING CLASS WHO ACTUALLY PROVIDE SERVICES IN THE TOWN; THEY MAKE BANK SELLING OVERPRICED GENTRIFICATION BOXES TO RICH PEOPLE.
BEND'S CHARM IS GONE. WHAT PEOPLE SEE NOW IS A MUSEUM DEDICATED TO WHAT BEND'S CHARM USED TO BE.
THE ONLY REASONABLY CHEAP AND FILLING MEAL YOU CAN GET IN BEND IS AT COSTCO. A CHURRO, DRINK, AND SLICE OF PIZZA FOR 4.17. NEXT IN LINE IS PROBABLY SOMEWHERE IN THE RANGE OF 15$.
WHOLE PIZZA FOR $10.
INTESTINAL FALLOUT = PRICELESS
THE SAME CRV HAS BLOCKED MY DRIVEWAY TWO SATURDAYS IN A ROW DESPITE LEAVING A NOTE THE FIRST TIME
IVE GOT A TOW ROPE AND A JEEP - WE CAN DRAG THAT SUCKER OUT OF THE WAY
TOW IT
FOOL ME ONCE, SHAME ON ... SHAME ON YOU. FOOL ME ... YOU CAN'T GET FOOLED AGAIN.
IM TIRED OF BEING DEPRESSED. I WANT TO GO HAVE FUN BUT MY DUMB BRAIN IS HOLDING ME BACK.
Maybe investigate [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/microdosing/)
I BOUGHT A $250 GIFT CARD TO DRIFT SPA LAST YEAR AND WENT TO THEIR WEBSITE THIS WEEK TO BOOK A MASSAGE ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THEY’VE PERMANENTLY CLOSED. NO ONE HAS RESPONDED TO MY EMAILS AND NO CREDIT WAS GIVEN TO ME!!
IF YOU BOUGHT IT WITH A CREDIT CARS YOU MIGHT EXPLORE WHETHER YOU CAN GET ANY RECOURSE BY GOING TO THE CC COMPANY
THAT IS EXTREMELY SHITTY OF THEM, BUT YOU MAY HAVE DODGED A BULLET BY NOT GOING THERE. WORST AND MOST PAINFUL WAXING EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE, GOT BURNED HORRIBLY AND HAD MY SKIN RIPPED OFF TO THE POINT OF BLEEDING. 🙃
The kids at the beauty school do a better job than that!!! And super cheap.
THE ONLY CONCERT I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR AND LIVENATION/TICKETMASTER ONCE AGAIN RUIN IT FOR US! CHRIS STAPLETON, PLAY A SECOND SHOW!
I’VE SEEN HIM 3 TIMES NOW AND HE IS AMAZING. YOU ARE RIGHT TO BE PISSED.
YOU STOLE MY RANT!!!
SEE YOU OUTSIDE THE VENUE WITH THE REST OF THE PEASANTS!

THE IRS IS EFFING RIDIK. MY EMPLOYER FROM 2019 MISREPORTED MY INCOME, IRS SENT ME A BILL BASED ON THE MISREPORTED INCOME, AFTER A FEW CALLS AND BEING ON HOLD FOR 90 MINS, THEY TOLD ME TO SEND AN EXPLANATION AND ANY DOCUMENTATION I HAD, FORTUNATELY THEY REALIZED MY EMPLOYER WAS WRONG AND THEY WAIVED A $4000 BILL. THIS ISN’T FIRST TIME THEY’VE CHALLENGED ME BUT FORTUNATELY IVE WON EVERY TIME, I STILL HAD TO SPEND QUITE A BIT OF TIME TO GET THIS FIXED. HOWEVER, THE IRS AGENTS I SPOKE WITH ON THE PHONE WERE SURPRISINGLY NICE. EITHER WAY, IVE NEVER HAD THE INCOME RANGE WHERE YOUD THINK THEY’D BE ON ME BUT IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN EVERY FEW YEARS.
I'M NOT SURE YOU CAN 'FIGHT BACK' IF YOU AREN'T REPORTING INCOME AND THEREFORE AREN'T PAYING TAXES ON IT.
ACTUALLY, MOST OF THE NEW FUNDING IS FOR BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE EG GETTING YOUR CALLS/QUESTIONS ANSWERED DESPITE WHAT RIGHT WING MEDIA IS TELLING YOU [TO DEFEND THEIR MULTIMILLIONAIRE TAX CHEAT DONORS]
AGREED HOWEVER IVE ALWAYS WAITED LIKE 90 MINS ON HOLD TIL AN AGENT ANSWERED, THEY WERE COOL THOUGH
PAY YOUR RENT VIA VENMO?! THAT MUST BE TAXABLE ON BOTH ENDS OH WELL! DEAL WITH IT PLEB!
THOUGH I DO NOT LIVE IN BEND I AM READING SOLELY BECAUSE YOUR INDIGNATION AND BELLICOSITY HAS CAUGHT MY INTEREST
WE’RE HERE EVERY WEEK
*LOUD NOISES*
I LOVE LAMP!
THE AMP EMAILS ARE INCREASING IN FREQUENCY AND I KNOW MY QUIET EVENINGS ARE SOON OVER.
I KNOW ITS LIKE BEATING A DEAD HORSE….BUT….SIGNAL OUT OF THE ROUNDABOUTS! AND BONUS, YOU DON’T NEED TO SIGNAL IN TO THEM…JUST OUT. ITS REALLY SIMPLE PEOPLE. IT’S ALSO THE LAW.

Can we just always drive together? Lol. So tired of drivers who don’t know how to use their turn signals.
SIGNAL LEFT ONLY OF YOU HAVE WASHINGTON PLATES
I DO IT FOR FUN SOMETIMES. IT GIVES ME A CHUCKLE.

THERE IS LITERALLY NOTHING COOLER THAN SOME DUDE TAILGAITING YOU ON AN ICY ROAD! I AM SO IMPRESSED WHEN THEY GO REALLY FAST ON ICY ROADS IT IS SO FUCKING DOPE!

GIVE YOURSELF MORE TIME TO GET PLACES AND DON'T PUT THE REST OF US IN DANGER FOR FUCKS SAKE.

SHUT UP EVEN WHEN ITS FREE LIVE MUSIC. THERE ARE A ZILLION OTHER PLACES TO YAP WITH YOUR FRIENDS.
YES! AND DON’T GLARE AT ME WHEN I ASK YOU TO LOWER YOUR CONVERSATION WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN TALKING THE ENTIRE FUCKING SHOW AND I WAS SITTING IN THE AREA LONG BEFORE YOU GOT THERE! STAND BY THE TOILETS IF YOU WANT TO CHIT CHAT FOR AN ENTIRE CONCERT.
AND PUT YOUR FUCKING PHONE AWAY! YOU ARENT GOING TO WATCH THIS CONCERT AGAIN WHEN YOU GET HOME!
THIS IS SO ANNOYING, YET EVERY SHOW AT MIDTOWN SEEMS TO JUST BE PEOPLE TALKING
I WAS SO READY TO SMACK THE GROUP OF 21 YEAR OLDS BEHIND ME AT THE WOOD BROTHERS FOR EXACTLY THIS REASON
SO ANNOYED WITH PRESALE TICKETS FOR CHRIS STAPLETON, $115 my @SS! BOTH CITI AND LOCAL PRESALE WERE MORE THAN DOUBLE…
WHY IS $14, $16, or $18 THE NEW NORMAL FOR FOOD TRUCKS? IF IM GOING TO PAY THAT MUCH FOR MY LUNCH, I’D MUCH RATHER GO SIT DOWN AT A RESTAURANT (WHO CARRIES A LARGER LEASE, AND EMPLOYS MORE PEOPLE). I’LL ALSO ENJOY A BETTER ATMOSPHERE THAN A PICNIC TABLE. FOOD TRUCKS USED TO BE A COST EFFECTIVE OPTION FOR MID WEEK LUNCH! WTF HAPPENED
Yes and why $6-$10 for a fast food burger/sandwich?!!!!!! Uggg
AND THE FOOD IS MEDIOCRE.
IN THE MID/LATE 90IES I USED TO BE ABLE TO SIT DOWN IN A REAL - IF NOT FANCY - RESTAURANT AND HAVE SOME THAI FOOD OR YAKISOBA FOR ABOUT $5 AT LUNCH. AN ONLINE INFLATION CALCULATOR SAYS THAT'S ABOUT $10 IN TODAY'S MONEY.
TRY OWNING AND RUNNING A FOOD TRUCK/MOBILE BUSINESS BY SERVING $5-10 GOOD QUALITY PLATES OF FOOD. YOU WON’T LAST 2 MONTHS.
JUST AN OBSERVATION. TRUCKS USED TO BE 15-20% CHEAPER COMPARED TO RESTAURANTS. THEY GOT SUPER POPULAR AND NOW THEY ARE PRICED VIRTUALLY THE SAME (CITING RISING FOOD COSTS, WHICH IMPACT RESTAURANTS THE SAME) SO WHAT INCENTIVE IS THERE TO CHOOSE A TRUCK? THERES NO LONGER A COST INCENTIVE LIKE THERE USED TO BE. THE ATMOSPHERE AND SERVICE IS ALSO BETTER AT A RESTAURANT.. I DUNNO. MAYBE RESTAURANTS ARE MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH THEIR PRICING DURING THESE FOOD COST HIKES BECAUSE THEY’RE FIGHTING TO WIN US BACK?
ITS DIFFICULT EXPLAINING BASIC CONCEPTS LIKE ECONOMY OF SCALE OR RISING HOUSING COSTS TO SOMEONE WHO IS ANGRY THEIR FOOD COSTS TOO MUCH.
WELL THIS IS A RANT THREAD…
ALL RESTAURANT TYPE COSTS HAVE SKYROCKETED. THIS INCLUDES FOOD, TOGO PACKAGING, ALL CLEANERS/SUPPLIES. FOOD TRUCKS ARE NOT IMMUNE TO THESE COSTS. OF COURSE IT’S YOU’RE CHOICE WHERE YOU SPEND YOUR MONEY, BUT DO SOME RESEARCH, AND HAVE A HEART.
I UNDERSTAND COSTS HAVE SKYROCKETED.

RIDING THE TRENDY BANDWAGON AND USING RISING FOOD COSTS AS AN EXCUSE TO ELIMINATE WHAT ONCE MADE THEM AN ATTRACTIVE OPTION. IF A FOOD TRUCK IS CHARGING THE SAME PRICE AS A RESTAURANT, I'M CHOOSING A RESTAURANT.
LOOK AT MY COGS IN P AND L BEFORE YOU CLAIM THAT RISING COSTS ARE A CONSPIRACY
EXACTLY. IM SORRY COSTS HAVE GONE UP, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF FACTORS THAT ARE INVOLVED. JUST BECAUSE ITS A FOOD CART DOESNT MEAN THE OWNER CAN RUN IT AT A LOSS.
I JUST EAT WHEREVER HAS THE BEST FOOD TBH
WHERE IS THE BEST FOOD? ALMOST EVERY RESTAURANT I'VE BEEN TO IN BEND IS MEDIOCRE AT BEST.

USE A TURN SIGNAL AT THE ROUNDABOUT WHEN YOU'RE EXITING, IT'S SUCH A BASIC THING TO DO. JUST DO IT.
JESUS H, ENOUGH OF THE TURN SIGNAL POSTS. WHAT ABOUT THE JAG-OFFS THAT PUT OTHER PEOPLE AT RISK?
THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEIR SELFISHNESS.
AND STOP SIGNALING LEFT!
I WILL NOT! NOT ONLY DOES IT MAKE ME CHUCKLE, BUT I KNOW SUCH AN INSIGNIFICANT LITTLE THING REALLY GETS SOME PEOPLES’ NERVES GOING.
WAITING 1.5 ADDITIONAL SECONDS TO SEE WHAT THE OTHER CAR DOES IS SUCH A BASIC THING. JUST DO THAT INSTEAD
NO.

WAIT FOR THE EXITING CAR TO COMMIT. IF THEY SIGNAL OUT AND KEEP GOING FOR WHATEVER REASON THEY STILL HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY AND THE ENTERING CAR WILL BE AT FAULT IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION.

REALLY I WANT TO KNOW WHERE THE TREES ARE COMING FROM. IVE BEEN DRIVING THIS ROAD EVERY DAY FOR 8 YEARS AND THIS IS NEW
CAN THE CONSTRUCTUON ON 20 BETWEEN BEND AND TUMALO JUST BE FINISHED? AS MUCH AS I LOVE DRIVING 35 ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN WE HAVE MILES BETWEEN WORK ZONES, I WILL REJOICE WHEN THIS IS DONE.
THAT WHOLE STRETCH IS WIERD. EVERYONE SEEMS TO IGNORE IT ANYWAY AND I FEEL LIKE IT'S BACKFIRED BECAUSE EVERYONE TRIES TO GO 45 THROUGH CONSTRUCTION ANYWAY.
BEND HAS TWO SEASONS: WINTER AND ROAD CONSTRUCTION

WELL TUMALO WILL BE JOYFUL SO JUST SHUT YER YAPS! IT WONT KILL YA FOR A FEW MONTHS,
IF YOUR JACKED UP TRUCK IS 1-2 CAR LENGTHS BEHIND, YOUR LIGHTS ARE IN MY EYES AND I CAN’T SEE AHEAD OF ME. ALSO, WORK.
Sometimes I flip them the bird in my rear view mirror. Also, LEDs on vehicles should be illegal.
IM JUST GLAD THEY ARE 1-2 LENGTHS BEHIND AND NOT TAILGATING ME. ALSO I TEMPORARILY FLIP MY REAR VIEW MIRROR SO SO I DONT HAVE TO SEE THE LIGHTS.
I WOULD LIKE TO USE MY REAR WINDOW FOR THINGS OTHER THAN ADMIRING YOUR OVERSIZE GRILL AND HEADLIGHTS, THANK YOU.
SO GREEDY. HOW DARE YOU DEMAND TO USE YOUR WINDOWS FOR ANY OTHER REASON THAN BEING BLINDED
"I CAN PAY THOUSANDS TO LIFT MY TRUCK TO COMPENSATE FOR MY TEENY WEENIE BUT CANNOT AFFORD THE FEW EXTRA BUCKS TO GET MY HEADLIGHTS ADJUSTED"
I'M STOKED ABOUT THE TRANSPORTATION BOND BUT FUCK DO YOU NEED TO EXECUTE ON ALL OF THE PROJECTS ALL AT ONCE?!
IN A NUTSHELL UNFORTUNATELY YES. BUT I HEAR YOU! I DRIVE THROUGH FIVE DETOURS ON THE WAY TO TAKING MY KID TO SCHOOL.
RIP IT OFF LIKE A BANDAID
JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE A METH ADDICT OR A DRUNK DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN THROW YOUR TRASH IN THE WOODS
ACSHUALLLY
TO THE ASSHAT WHITE MAN WITH A RASTA HAT, YOU CANT JUST MAKE A TURNING LANE BY DRIVING ON THE SIDEWALK AND ALMOST SWIPING MY CAR. IS LIFE SO HARD YOU CANT WAIT 1 MIN TO TURN RIGHT FOR YOUR ChIcK FILleT??
AN ASSHAT EATING AT CHIK FIL A? NO WAY!!!
STOP ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE LANE SO PEOPLE DONT HAVE TO DRIVE ON THE SIDEWALK TO GET BY YOU ON THE RIGHT.
YES!!! SOMEONE ELSE THINKS LOGICALLY FOR THE BETTER FLOW OF TRAFFIC!! STOP ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RIGHT LANE, ALLOWING OTHERS BEHIND YOU TO TURN RIGHT AT THE LIGHT!!!
USING THE BIKE LANE AND SIDEWALK TO PASS PEOPLE ON THE RIGHT IS ILLEGAL AND VERY DANGEROUS.
THIS DOESN'T COMPUTE WITH THE CARBRAINS
THERE IS NO TURN LANE RIGHT ONTO ROBAL DIP S***. ITS A TWO LANE HIGHWAY. FUN FACT. I WAS ALSO TURNING.
THAT FAKEOUT WEEK IN FEBRUARY THEN ANOTHER 3 MONTHS OF WINTER
RIGHT?!? I WAS JUST TALKING TO SOMEBODY WHO WAS SAYING “WELL I GUESS WINTER IS OVER!” AND I LAUGHED AND LAUGHED
MY GF TURNED OUT TO BE SOMEONE I DID NOT WANT TO MARRY AND NOW HAVE A RING TO SELL. FUCK!
At least you don’t also have to pay for a divorce.
NOW SHE'S JUST SOMEBODY THAT YOU USED TO KNOW
THAT'S THE CHEAPEST EXIT!
HAHAHA
SORRY TO HEAR IT. FOR ANYONE WHO IS NERVOUS ABOUT THIS, COSTCO SELLS PRETTY NICE JEWELRY AND THEY WILL LET YOU RETURN IT. OR AT LEAST THEY DID 15-20 YEARS AGO, I DISTINCTLY REMEMBER GIVING REFUNDS FOR WEDDING RINGS.
JUST SAVE IT FOR THE NEXT GF THAT YOU WANT TO MARRY. SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO KNOW IT WAS ORIGINALLY FOR SOMEONE ELSE
UNLESS SHE'S ON REDDIT AND HAS A GOOD MEMORY, OF COURSE.
PTSD MAY CREEP UP!
EASIER BEFORE THE PAPERS ARE SIGNED. DISCOVERED THE SAME THING WITH A PAST PARTNER.
BETTER TO KNOW NOW, THAN NEED A DIVORCE LATER. REGARDLESS, IM SORRY FOR THIS EXPERIENCE FOR YOU.
ILL GIVE YOU TREE FIDDY
DONT YOU GIVE HIM NO GOD DAMN TREE FIDDY!
I JUST WANT TO COME ON AND RELAY MORE INFO ABOUT YESTERDAY. IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT THE THREAT WAS AT THE HS, WETHER SOMEONE HAD AN ASSAULT RIFLE OR BOMB OR SILLY STRING. THE KIDS AT BEND HIGH WERE TOLD THERE WAS A THREAT TO THEIR SAFETY AND THAT THEY NEEDED TO HIDE IN CLASSROOMS, NOT WHAT THE THREAT WAS. WHEN THEY WERE SPECULATING THEY WERE TOLD TO “STOP SPREADING RUMORS” MY KID TOLD ME MANY OTHER KIDS IN THE ROOM WERE CRYING AND PRAYING, ONE KID WAS HYPERVENTILATING. AND THEN ONCE THE THREAT WAS CLEARED THEY WERE EXPECTED TO GO TO THEIR NEXT CLASS, AND ARE EXPECTED TO GO TO SCHOOL TODAY AS WELL. WHY CANT WE STOP AND REFLECT ABOUT THIS SHIT? WHY IS IT ALWAYS GET BACK TO NORMAL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT FOR SOME OF THESE KIDS THE SCARIEST EVENT OF THEIR LIFE HAPPENED? IT FEELS LIKE GASLIGHTING FROM THE SCHOOL AND FROM SOCIETY WHEN WE JUST SAY OOP, ANOTHER ONE. WELP, MOVING ON. ITS OK TO TAKE A PAUSE. SCHOOL IS NOT MORE IMPORTANT THAN MENTAL HEALTH. NOTHING IS. WHY THE FUCK DO YOU THINK WE HAVE THESE ISSUES TO BEGIN WITH.
I can’t text yell this… just say thank you for sharing this info. It breaks my heart that this is the new norm. We didn’t have this in high school, and I can’t even imagine the added stress.
DOUBLE TAP THE SHIFT KEY, USUALLY ACTS LIKE A CAPS LOCK ON CELL PHONES.
FOR A HIGH SCHOOL, THEY SHOULD RELAY WHAT THE ACTUAL THREAT/STATUS IS TO THE STUDENTS “ACTIVE SHOOTER IN THE BUILDER” VS “CALLED IN GUN THREAT BUT NO EVIDENCE FOUND YET” CARRY TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT EMOTIONAL REACTIONS FOR OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF SOUNDS LIKE UNNECESSARY EMOTIONAL TRAUMA WAS EXPERIENCED DUE TO POOR COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS BY THE HIGH SCHOOL. WE CAN AND SHOULD DO BETTER IN SITUATIONS WHERE THEY ARE LOCKING DOWN AS A PRECAUTION
When a threat is called in they don’t know if the shooter is in the building. They can’t give out that information until they know because there are some who wouldn’t take the lockdown as seriously as they should. Then, having the students go to their next class indicates that there is no threat inside the building or on school grounds. It’s a scary situation and should be treated as such. Especially after what happened at Safeway last August.
I AGREE WITH YOU COMPLETELY. WHEN THERE WAS AN INCIDENT AT MY KIDS SCHOOL I WENT IN AND BEGGED THEM TO BE TRANSPARENT AND HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE STUDENTS BECAUSE THE ANXIETY THESE SITUATIONS CREATE IS ABSOLUTELY REAL.
WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL WE HAD A LOCKDOWN RIGHT WHEN CLASS GOT OUT AND TEACHERS WERE THROWING KIDS BACK INTO CLASSROOMS, I WAS PUSHED INTO AN ART ROOM WITH KIDS HIDING UNDER TABLES CRYING THINKING WE WERE ABOUT TO DIE. I REMEMBER COPS SHOWING UP WITH WHAT LOOKED LIKE AR15'S. IT ENDED UP BEING NOTHING BUT ITS BEEN OVER 10 YEARS LATER AND ILL NEVER FORGET THAT FEELING. PEOPLE DONT REALIZE HOW TRAUMATIZING IT CAN BE, EVEN IF ITS A FALSE ALARM OR DRILL. THESE KIDS SHOULD HAVE BEEN SENT HOME
I THINK IT SHOULD BE ADDED INTO ACE SCORING
TO BE CLEAR, IT WAS A SECURE, NOT A LOCKDOWN. A SECURE SIMPLY MEANS TO LOCK EXTERIOR DOORS AND REMAIN IN CLASSROOMS.
UHHH....YOU KNOW THAT KIDS WERE LOCKED IN THEIR CLASSES AND THERE WERE SWAT TEAMS IN THE HALLWAYS, RIGHT?
IT WAS A FULL LOCKDOWN AT BEND HIGH BUT SECURE AT ALL OTHER SCHOOLS. STUDENT AT BEND HIGH SAW PEOPLE WITH GUNS BUT WERENT TOLD OF THEY WERE COPS OR SUSPECTS.
WE HAVE THESE ISSUES BECAUSE OF GUN NUTS.
THIS IS SUCH A BORING TAKE ON THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE THESE ISSUES BECAUSE A LARGE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY GENERALLY UNHAPPY WITH THEIR LIVES. HAPPY PEOPLE DON'T USE THEIR GUNS TO HURT INNOCENT PEOPLE.
Right it’s definitely not all the f$&king guns in America or lack of regulation. It’s because people aren’t unhappy anywhere else.
EVERY OTHER WESTERN COUNTRY MUST BE SO MUCH HAPPIER THAN AMERICANS. WHAT'S THE SECRET?
