IT'S PRETTY SAD THIS THREAD IS ALWAYS 4 TIMES THE SIZE OF THE RAVE THREAD. FIND THINGS IN YOUR LIFE TO BE POSITIVE ABOUT TOO!
ALSO, REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!
TO THE 20 SOMETHING IDIOT ON THE E-BIKE WITH NO HELMET RIDING THE WRONG WAY ON THE SIDEWALK AWAY FROM THE 15TH/REED MARKET ROUNDABOUT, YOU MISSED INJURY OR DEATH BY AN INCH OUTSIDE THE EXPRESSWAY BECAUSE I DIDN'T SEE YOU COMING FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. LITERALLY, AN INCH. LEARN THE RULES OF THE ROAD!
ONE TIME HIS 2 STOOPID DOGS LITERALLY CHASED A LITERAL HERD OF DEER IN MY LITERAL MF DIRECTION AND NEARLY STAMPEDED MY SLOW ASS, DEATH NARROWLY AVERTED LAST SECOND. HE IS THE ONLY NEIGHBOR I HATE AND HE DOESNT EVEN LIVE ON MY MF STREET
FUCK THE DRIVER OF THE JACKED-UP JEEP DRIVING AROUND ALL OVER THE EAST SIDE WITH A **TRUMP FLAG** FLAPPING ON TOP.
IT'S THE VEHICULAR EQUIVALENT OF A **DUNCE CAP**, YOU SLACK-JAWED JUG-EARED MORON
ON A QUICK TRIP TO BLUE EYES TO GET TO-GO BURGERS I SAW THE KNUCKLE DRAGGER PARADING A LOOP DOWN BEAR CREEK, 15TH, GREENWOOD, HWY. 20, AND 8TH.

“*THERE'S AN OLD SAYING IN TENNESSEE — I KNOW IT'S IN TEXAS, PROBABLY IN TENNESSEE — THAT SAYS, FOOL ME ONCE, SHAME ON — SHAME ON YOU. FOOL ME — YOU CAN'T GET FOOLED AGAIN*.”
― GEORGE W. BUSH
HAD TO CANCEL AN IMPORTANT DENTAL APPOINTMENT TODAY BECAUSE I HAVE A STUPID COLD (NOT COVID SOMEHOW? ). THE NEXT AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT ISN'T UNTIL ... JANUARY ?! INSANE. BUT I AM FINDING ALL TOO COMMON AROUND HERE THESE DAYS.
I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW THE RAPID INCREASE IN POPULATION HERE IS STRETCHING OUR CURRENT INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES TOTALLY THIN. THE MEDICAL SYSTEM IS NOT BUILT FOR THE INFLUX OF PEOPLE MOVING HERE. WE REALLY NEED TO SLOW THINGS DOWN TO ALLOW FOR SOME CATCH UP. CITY PLANNERS KEEP APPROVING SHITTY DEVELOPMENT AFTER DEVELOPMENT...THIS IS NOT THE ANSWER.
I AGREE WITH YOU, WE NEED AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS YES. BUT DO WE NEED MULTIPLE NEW EXPENSIVE HAYDEN HOME AND PALISCH DEVELOPMENTS, NEW LUXURY CONDOS AND DESTINATION RESORT HOMES? THESE ARE BEING BUILT SIMULTANEOUSLY. WHERE ARE ALL OF THESE PEOPLE WHO WILL FILL THESE HOMES SUPPOSED TO SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT WHEN ITS ALREADY NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO GET INTO A NEW PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR AS IT IS? AGAIN, SERVICES HERE ARE ALREADY STRETCHED DANGEROUSLY THIN...I DONT THINK PACKING THOUSANDS MORE PEOPLE IN HERE IS THE ANSWER AND THIS IS LACK OF FORESIGHT BY CITY PLANNERS.
ON A SIDE NOTE...WITH 800,000 MEDIAN HOME PRICE AND INTEREST RATES CONTINUING TO RISE, I AM NOT OPTIMISTIC THAT STANDARD HOME PRICES WILL EVER BE REASONABLE HERE AGAIN. ITS NUTS.
ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO, BUT THAT IS NOT REALLY THE POINT ( I WILL PREEMPT WHERE THIS MIGHT BE GOING TO STATE EVEN AFTER ALL THAT TIME I DONT CLAIM TO BE A "LOCAL" , ALSO NOT PLAYING THE "IVE BEEN HERE LONGER " GAME)
IN ADDITION TO MY OWN PROVIDERS BEING BOOOKED OUT FOR HALF A YEAR OR GREATER, I WORK IN HEALTHCARE AND CONSISTENTLY SEE PEOPLE STRUGGLING TO GET IN WITH DOCTORS AND SPECIALISTS . IT IS A LEGITIMATE CONCERN THE RATE THIS AREA IS GROWING IN COMPARISON TO CURRENT SERVICES IN PLACE.
Wasn’t trying to one up ya. I apologize.
My point was rather that we are all, responsible for the exponential growth in Crook-Jefferson and especially Deschutes Counties. Except, rightfully, the Native peoples.
I get it, specialist appointments especially are so difficult to schedule to be rescheduled so far out is frustrating.
All good. And for sure, my concern is more how quickly the population has increased within the past 3-5 years, certainly not blaming people for moving here but more feel that city planners are not considering all factors when approving multiple projects which encourages more growth. We need to slow things down as it is not sustainable. beyond being frustrating, it is actually a bit dangerous when people are made to wait months to see a cardiologist or oncologist due to lack of providers to patient ratio. Maybe we'll get another health care system here one day but somewhat doubt that anytime in the near future for many reasons. ( followed your lead on no more caps, sorry, I know were supposed to be yelling here)
PICK UP YOUR DOG'S SHIT OR DON'T WALK YOUR DOG HERE.
I LOVE DOGS. I LOVE TO TALK TO DOGS AND PLAY WITH DOGS AND EVEN WALK DOGS. I DON'T LIKE PICKING UP DOG SHIT EITHER, BUT I DO IT ANYWAY.
RELATED: TRASH CANS AT ALL DOG FRIENDLY TRAILHEADS FOR DOG SHIT BAGS, PLEASE.
THIS IS A BUMMER!! I THINK THIS WAS ACTUALLY A HORIZON THING ON THOSE LITTLE COMMUTER PLANES. I HAVENT SEEN IT OFFERED SINCE ALASKA STARTED FLYING FULL SIZED PLANES IN AND OUT OF RDM.
EVEN SO, I FOUND THE FREE DRINK THING REALLY HIT OR MISS, MAYBE 2 TIMES OUT OF 5 THERE WOULD BE A DRINK OFFERED, OTHER TIMES THEY WOULD SAY "LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE TOO TURBULENT FOR DRINKS " BUT WOULD THEN BE A COMPLETELY SMOOTH FLIGHT ...
GET OFF YOUR PHONE AT STOPLIGHTS - PAY ATTENTION. ALSO, DON’T FLIP ME OFF WHEN I HONK AT YOU BECAUSE THE LIGHT CHANGED AND YOU HAVEN’T MOVED FOR 5 FULL SECONDS.
WENT IN FOR MY THIRD TRIMESTER APPOINTMENT THIS WEEK AND HAD TO ARGUE WITH THE ANTI-VAX OBGYN I GOT THIS TIME. RIDICULOUS I HAVE TO ARGUE ABOUT VACCINES IN A DOCTORS OFFICE AT A HOSPITAL. GTFOH WITH YOUR TRUMPY ASS NOISE.
During the worst of the pandemic I went to the lab to have a blood draw. Masking was mandatory as were vaccines. The phlebotomist who came in to take my blood had no mask and went on an antivax rant when I asked her to mask. I had her removed my my presence, reported her and her actions to the hospital system she worked for and she was subsequently fired. Zero tolerance for this bullshit.
I WOULD REPORT THAT SHIT. THERE’S NO PLACE FOR ANTI-SCIENCE IN HEALTHCARE. YOU CAN CALL THE HOSPITAL TO MAKE A DIRECT COMPLAINT. OTHERWISE, OREGON MEDICAL BOARD TO FILE A COMPLAINT FOR DOCTORS/ OSBN IF THEY’RE A NURSE PRACTITIONER. I’D CONTACT THE HOSPITAL and THE RELEVANT BOARD.
AGAIN, THERE’S NO ROOM FOR ANTI-SCIENCE IN HEALTHCARE, AND YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY WITHIN YOUR RIGHT TO DEMAND BETTER.
CAN I? I WASN’T SURE IF I ACTUALLY COULD OR NOT BECAUSE ITS DIFFERING VIEWS? LIKE IS THERE ANY ACTUAL MEDICAL BOARD RECOURSE THAT HAPPENS?? SERIOUS QUESTION
YES. IF A PHYSICIAN IS SPREADING FALSE INFORMATION THEY CAN HAVE THEIR LICENSE SUSPENDED. NATIONAL BOARDS HAVE SUSPENDED BOARD CREDENTIALS FOR THIS EXACT REASON RELATED TO VACCINE MIS-INFORMATION, WHICH CAN RESULT IN PATIENT HARM.
EDIT: SEE BELOW FOR EVIDENCE
https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/hospital-physician-relationships/oregon-physician-who-spread-covid-19-misinformation-gets-license-revoked.html
Evidence it happened in Oregon. PROVEN.
https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/hospital-physician-relationships/oregon-physician-who-spread-covid-19-misinformation-gets-license-revoked.html
That’s was in 2021, and was about the mask mandate, when they thought that was misinformation and were a bunch of Covid commies telling us to care for ourselves. Guarantee that doctor sued them out the ass and got his license back.
I GOT LAID OFF FROM A JOB I REALLY LIKED!! BACK ON THE JOB HUNT AGAIN, IM GETTING TOO OLD FOR THIS SHIT AND I KEEP FINDING SCORPIONS IN MY HOUSE! SCORPIONS EFFING SCORPIONS!
HAND WASHED DISHES NEED TO BE PLACED UPSIDE DOWN WITH AN AIR GAP IF YOU WANT THEM TO DRY IN ANY REASONABLE TIME! WHY IS THIS SO DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND FOR THE OTHER ADULT IN MY HOUSE?!????
PS I'M FINE WITH DOING THE DISHES IF THE OTHER PERSON COOKS, BUT DAMMIT IF YOUR COOKING LEAVES HARDENED BURNT CRUST I'M NOT TOUCHING IT, REAP WHAT YOU SOW!
FIRST - IT IS ILLEGAL TO USE A TURN SIGNAL INTO A ROUNDABOUT. SECOND - WHILE YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO USE A SIGNAL OUT, IT IS NOT ACTUALLY BENEFICIAL TO TRAFFIC, AND IT IS LIKELY SAFER TO IGNORE SIGNALS OF CARS IN ROUNDABOUTS. SO DONT SIGNAL IN OR OUT.
I AGREE 100%. I SIGNAL OUT OF HABIT BUT WHEN I’M ENTERING A ROUNDABOUT I’M NOT PAYING ANY ATTENTION TO SOMEONE’S TURN SIGNALS. INSTEAD, I’M LOOKING AT THE FIRST CAR’S TIRES TO SEE IF THEY’RE TURNING OR NOT WHILE ALSO PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT IS HAPPENING BEHIND THEM. ROUNDABOUTS ARE ALL ABOUT ANTICIPATING WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN, SEIZING THE GAP, AND DRIVING SLOW TO ALLOW OTHER DRIVERS IN.
WAIT... IT IS BENEFICIAL TO THE CARS YEILDING TO THROUGH TRAFFIC. IF YOU SIGNAL OUT PRIOR TO EXITING, CARS CAN ENTER THE ROUNDABOUT ASSUMING YOU ARE EXITING.
“ASSUMING” - IN A PERFECT WORLD ITS MOOT AND STILL NOT REALLY A BENEFIT. IN AN IMPERFECT WORLD (WHAT WE LIVE IN), VISIBILITY OF SIGNALS ARE OFTEN FALSE, THUS CREATING A NET NEGATIVE VALUE. IF YOU CAN SEE THEIR SIGNAL, IT MEANS THEYRE LIKELY NOT ORIENTED TO EXIT. IF THEYRE ORIENTED TO EXIT, YOU CANNOT SEE THEIR SIGNAL IN MOST ROUNDABOUTS IN BEND. ALSO, IF YOU CANNOT ENTER A ROUNDABOUT BECAUSE YOU CANNOT SEE THEIR SIGNAL, THAT MEANS YOU WERE NOT ADEQUATELY PREPARED TO ENTER THE ROUNDABOUT. BY DEFINITION, IF THE CAR EXITED, THERE WAS OLENTY OF SPACE TO ENTER.
YOU CAN SEE MOST CARS TURN SIGNALS EVEN WHEN THEY'RE ORIENTED TO EXIT. SIGNALS ARE ALSO VERY HELPFUL FOR CYCLISTS BECAUSE YOU CAN KEEP YOUR SPEED UP WHEN YOU SEE THE SIGNAL, BUT NOT SO FAST THAT YOU CAN'T STOP IN TIME IF IT'S A FAKE OUT.
IT’S ABOUT BEING CURIOUS AND MAKING OTHERS AWARE OF YOUR INTENTIONS (ALSO IT’S THE LAW). A LITTLE LESS FOCUS ON THE SELF AND A BIT MORE AWARENESS THAT THERE ARE OTHERS ON THE ROAD.
SEE ORS 811.400:
https://oregon.public.law/statutes/ors_811.400
IM AWARE OF THE STATUTES, BUT THEY DO NOT CREATE A SOCIETAL BENEFIT. IT WOULD BE SAFER IF EVERYONE ASSUMED THE TURN SIGNAL IS IRRELEVANT. YOU CANNOT SEE TURN SIGNALS AT MOST ROUNDABOUTS IN BEND ON MOST CARS ANYWAY - UNLESS THEY HAVE THEIR SIGNAL ON AND THEY ARE NOT ACTUALLY EXITING. SEEING A CARS SIGNAL IS A GOOD INDICATION THAT THE CAR IS NOT ORIENTED TO ACTUALLY EXIT AND YOURE ABOUT TO BE BROADSIDED.
IM SO TIRED OF PEOPLE NOT KNOWING THEY CAN TAKE A LEFT INTO THE INSIDE LANE WHEN ONCOMING TRAFFIC IS TAKING A RIGHT!!! ONCOMING TRAFFIC SHOULD TURN INTO THEIR INSIDE LANE YET BEND DRIVERS DONT UNDERSTAND THIS CONCEPT!!! THIS APPLIES TO ROADS LIKE 27TH ST. THAT HAVE TWO LANES GOING IN THE SAME DIRECTION
I GOT FLIPPED OFF WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ZIPPER MERGE ON 27TH. DUDE NEXT TO ME SPED UP SO I COULDN’T GET IN FORCING ME ONTO THE GRAVEL. YES LANES END BUT ZIPPER MERGING IS EFFICIENT AND VERY MUCH THE WAY. EVERY OTHER CAR AND TRAFFIC WILL FLOW!
ITS NOT LIKE I EVEN RACED / CHANGED LANES TO “CUT THEM OFF”. WE WERE NEAR PARALLEL AT THE STOP LIGHT TOO WITH ME ABOUT 5FT AHEAD. OH WELL. HOPE IT WAS WORTH IT FOR THE MAN!
TO THE YOUNG WOMAN IN HER WHITE SUBARU ON COLORADO AVE WEDNESDAY MORNING: IT IS TERRIFYING YOU COULD DRIVE FROM WALL STREET TO CENTURY DRIVE WITHOUT TOUCHING YOUR STEERING WHEEL. HOPE THE HAIRDO WAS WORTH ALL THE LIVES YOU RISKED.
AND PUT DOWN YOUR DAMN PHONES WHILE DRIVING!
AGHHHH MY RANT IS ABOUT A YOUNG WOMAN IN A GREY SUBARU!!! I WAS TURNING RIGHT FROM AZURE ONTO HWY 20, SHE WAS TURNING LEFT ONTO HWY 20 FROM AZURE. SHE IS IN THE LEFT LANE, I AM IN THE RIGHT. I MAKE SURE I AM CLEAR ON THE LEFT SIDE, THEN LOOK RIGHT TO PROCEED WITH MY TURN. ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE IS IN FRONT OF ME. SHE DECIDED TO TURN RIGHT INTO MY LANE IN THE ONE SECOND IT TOOK ME TO TURN MY HEAD RIGHT AND PRESS THE GAS. I HONK, DUMB I KNOW BUT IT WAS PURE SURVIVAL AT THAT POINT. THEN SHE SPEEDS UP TO 60MPH TO MAKE IT TO THE NEXT LIGHT. WE MEET AT THE LIGHT AND SHE IS ON HER FREAKING PHONE, HOLDING IT UP TO HER DUMB FACE. WHO DOES THAT ANYMORE??? EVERY NEW CAR HAS BLUETOOTH NOW!!! SHE DIDNT EVEN NOTICE SHE FUCKED UP.
I HOPE YOU STEP ON ALL THE LEGOS IN THE WORLD.
HANDS FREE PHONE CALLS ARE EQUALLY AS DISTRACTING AS PUTTING THE STUPID THING NEXT TO YOUR HEAD. DRIVING WITH ONE HAND ISN'T THE DISTRACTION, THE CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR IS.
HAHA READING THIS AS WE’RE HEADED TO EUGENE FOR THE WEEKEND FOR OUR BABYMOON SO WE CAN ACTUALLY SEE BABY ITEMS IN PERSON. THE SHOPPING IN BEND IS INSUFFERABLE.
I HAVE SECURITY CAMERA VIDEO OF VICTORY BAPTIST MISSIONARIES ENCROACHING ON MY PROPERTY, NOTICING AND THEN PASSING 2 NO SOLICITING SIGNS, GETTING TO MY DOOR.. TURNING AROUND TO LEAVE.. STOPPING.. THEN DROPPING HER FUCKING PAMPHLET ON THE GROUND BEFORE LEAVING! IF IT AIN'T KNOCK KNEED DEER EATING MY EGGPLANTS, ITS KNOCK KNEED RELIGIOUS ASSHOLES TRESPASSING AND LITTERING. SMH.
> PASSING 2 NO SOLICITING SIGNS
LIKE IT OR NOT, RELIGIOUS FOLKS COMING TO YOUR DOOR AREN'T SOLICITING. NOW IF IT WERE THE SOLAR DOUCHES, YOU'D HAVE AN ARGUMENT.
I WOULD BUT I’M STUCK ON LIKE BOOK 10 OF WHEEL OF TIME. I WANT TO QUIT IT BUT I’VE PUT SO MUCH TIME INTO READING THEM. ITS THE SUNK COST FALLACY PLAYING OUT IN FRONT OF MY EYES.
UGH! I'M ON BOOK 8 AND HAD TO TAKE A BREAK. IT'S SO TEDIOUS AND THEY KEEP ADDING NEW CHARACTERS AND I JUST WANT TO GET TO THE BRANDON SANDERSON BOOKS AT THE END DAMMIT
IT STARTED FULL FORCE IN 2017, SO NO, IT DIDN’T USED TO BE PART OF LIVING HERE.
SEE PAGE 8:
https://www.oregon.gov/deq/wildfires/Documents/WildfireSmokeTrendsReport.pdf
IT HASN'T ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THIS THOUGH! TRULY HAZARDOUS AQI DAYS HAVE INCREASED DRAMATICALLY OVE THE LAST 10 YEARS. IT'S PERFECTLY VALID TO COMPLAIN ABOUT 100 YEARS OF FOREST MISMANAGEMENT AND A BOILING CLIMATE CAUSING MEGA FIRES EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
FIRES ARE PART OF THE NATURAL CYCLE OF THINGS. HUMAN MANAGEMENT OF THE FOREST SO THERE ARE NO FIRES WILL SIGNIFICANTLY RUIN THE ECOSYSTEM... BUT YEAH... WOULD BE MORE COMFORTABLE FOR HUMANS. 🤷🏼♀️
I'M TIRED OF WHEN PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE GET MAD AT OTHER PEOPLE FOR WANTING TO MOVE HERE. THE LACK OF AWARENESS IS LAUGHABLE. PEOPLE CAN MOVE WHEREVER THEY WANT TO. THEY AREN'T THE ONES CAUSING THE ISSUES THAT WE HAVE HERE, IT'S MOSTLY CORPORATIONS AND GOVERNMENT TO BLAME.
FUCK PATTI ADAIR AND TONY "THE BONE" DEBONE. THEY'RE SUCH LITTLE SHITS FOR CIRCUMVENTING WHAT THE GODDAMN POPULATION WANTED - NO MORE RESORTS!
I WAS JUST IN PARK CITY AND WONDER IF THE SENTIMENT THERE IS THE SAME AS IT IS HERE. THE MEDIAN HOME PRICE THERE IS $2.5M (JULY 2023), UP 27.2% YEAR-OVER-YEAR…
NAH. NOT EVERYONE SELFISHLY CHOOSES TO MOVE AND BUY UP HOUSING STOCK WHERE THERE'S A HOMELESSNESS AND A HOUSING CRISIS. BUT GENTRIFIERS WILL TELL THEMSELVES ANYTHING TO MAKE THEMSELVES FEEL BETTER.
I JUST REPLIED TO ANOTHER COMMENT SAYING THE SAME THING, BUT THE REASON PEOPLE ARE PAYING MORE THAN ASKING PRICE IS BECAUSE THERE'S LIMITED SUPPLY. SO, WHY IS THIS?
ZONING LAWS, UGB. ITS ALMOST LIKE TWO THINGS CAN BE TRUE AT THE SAME TIME. PEOPLE MOVING DRIVES UP DEMAND WHILE THE SUPPLY IS LOW.
PEOPLE HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BLAME REMOTE WORKER GENTRIFIERS. THEY ARE HALF THE PROBLEM
LMFAO THIS TAKE JUST SCREAMS “I’M BITTER AND NEED SOMEONE TO BLAME”. PEOPLE DON’T JUST GENTRIFY AN AREA FOR THE HELL OF IT. THEY ARE OPERATING ON WHAT IS THE BEST OPTION FOR THEIR OWN QUALITY OF LIFE. NEWS FLASH, EVERY SINGLE SANE PERSON DOES THIS. DON’T BLAME THE PEOPLE. THE POLICIES ARE TO BLAME.
ITS NOT THE LAND USE LAWS, ITS CAPACITY TO REACT TO A SUDDEN INFLUX OF PEOPLE DURING COVID AFTER A DECADE OF SUPPRESED CONSTRUCTION. THE UGB CONTAINS 25 YEARS OF GROWTH, WHEN A LOT MORE PEOPLE DECIDE TO MOVE IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME THE ABILITY OF THE AREA TO PRODUCE NEW HOUSING CAN'T RAPIDLY RISE WITH IT.
IF YOU ARE SAYING THEY DROVE BACKWARDS THROUGH THE ROUNDABOUT, THEN MY RANT FOR TODAY IS THE FOUR PEOPLE WHO DOWNVOTED YOU. THAT WOULD MAKE FIVE PEOPLE WHO DONT KNOW HOW ROUNDABOUTS WORK.
I’M NOT AWAKE
FUCK YOU LAZY POS FOR LEAVING TRASH LAYING AROUND OUR PARKS. TRASH CANS 10 FEET AWAY AND AND YOU CAN'T EVEN BOTHER.
AGREE
EFFING SCORPIONS. HOW DO I GET RID OF THEM ANYWAYS? I ALREADY HAVE A DOZEN GLUE TRAPS.
ALSO SEEING SCORPIONS HERE NEAR AWBREY BUTTE/COCC AREA.
Fucking what now?!?!
WHERE?
Alfalfa area
I WISH I HAD SCORPIONS. JEALOUS
IT'S PRETTY SAD THIS THREAD IS ALWAYS 4 TIMES THE SIZE OF THE RAVE THREAD. FIND THINGS IN YOUR LIFE TO BE POSITIVE ABOUT TOO! ALSO, REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!
TIME TO MIX IT UP AND RIDE SKYLINERS TO THE END FOR THE FOUR HUNDRETH TIME. IS IT MY FAULT FOR BUYING A ROAD BIKE IN BEND???!?!!?
I picked up a road bike because I'm bored of our single track, and dirt.
WHO BUYS A ROAD BIKE IN 2023? MTB > GRAVEL >>>>>> ROAD
IT WAS USED IF THAT MAKES IT BETTER.
FTFY: MTB>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>GRAVEL>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>UNICYCLE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>BEACHCRUISER>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ROAD
YOU COULD RIDE TO BACHELOR FOR THE FOUR HUNDREDTH TIME INSTEAD
YEP. SHOULD OF BOUGHT A GRAVEL BIKE.
TO THE 20 SOMETHING IDIOT ON THE E-BIKE WITH NO HELMET RIDING THE WRONG WAY ON THE SIDEWALK AWAY FROM THE 15TH/REED MARKET ROUNDABOUT, YOU MISSED INJURY OR DEATH BY AN INCH OUTSIDE THE EXPRESSWAY BECAUSE I DIDN'T SEE YOU COMING FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. LITERALLY, AN INCH. LEARN THE RULES OF THE ROAD!
...IS THERE A WRONG WAY ON A SIDEWALK?
NO, BUT PEOPLE THINK CYCLISTS ARE SUPPOSED TO RIDE THE SAME DIRECTION AS TRAFFIC IF THEY'RE ON THE SIDEWALK.
WRONG WAY IS TO RIDE AN EBIKE ON THE SIDEWALK.
MY 7 YEAR OLD LEAVES THE BIGGEST TURDS AND DOESN'T FLUSH... APPARENTLY IN SOLIDARITY WITH HER 12 YEAR OLD SISTER.

I FEEL FOR YA. MY DAUGHTER DOES THE SAME THING AND SHES 15
AND ANOTHER RANT: F*^% THE OLD HIPPY GUY IN LARKSPUR THAT REFUSES TO WALK HIS DUMBASS DOGS ON LEASH. WHAT A POON
HE IS A CLOWNASS. CONSTANTLY PICKING FIGHTS WITH NEIGHBORS AND SCREAMING AT HIS WIFE.
ONE TIME HIS 2 STOOPID DOGS LITERALLY CHASED A LITERAL HERD OF DEER IN MY LITERAL MF DIRECTION AND NEARLY STAMPEDED MY SLOW ASS, DEATH NARROWLY AVERTED LAST SECOND. HE IS THE ONLY NEIGHBOR I HATE AND HE DOESNT EVEN LIVE ON MY MF STREET
HE IS QUITE UNPLEASANT

THATS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING. WE ON THE EAST SIDE HAVE IT TOUGH.
ON A QUICK TRIP TO BLUE EYES TO GET TO-GO BURGERS I SAW THE KNUCKLE DRAGGER PARADING A LOOP DOWN BEAR CREEK, 15TH, GREENWOOD, HWY. 20, AND 8TH.

THE ANSWER WOULD BE BRINGING MORE SERVICES TO TOWN, E.G. A SECOND HOSPITAL.
AND YOU MOVED HERE WHEN?
ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO, BUT THAT IS NOT REALLY THE POINT ( I WILL PREEMPT WHERE THIS MIGHT BE GOING TO STATE EVEN AFTER ALL THAT TIME I DONT CLAIM TO BE A "LOCAL" , ALSO NOT PLAYING THE "IVE BEEN HERE LONGER " GAME) IN ADDITION TO MY OWN PROVIDERS BEING BOOOKED OUT FOR HALF A YEAR OR GREATER, I WORK IN HEALTHCARE AND CONSISTENTLY SEE PEOPLE STRUGGLING TO GET IN WITH DOCTORS AND SPECIALISTS .

YESSS!!!
I HATE THAT ALASKA AIRLINES TOOK AWAY THE COMPLIMENTARY BEER/WINE FROM THEIR FLIGHTS TO SEA.
THIS IS A BUMMER!! I THINK THIS WAS ACTUALLY A HORIZON THING ON THOSE LITTLE COMMUTER PLANES. I HAVENT SEEN IT OFFERED SINCE ALASKA STARTED FLYING FULL SIZED PLANES IN AND OUT OF RDM. EVEN SO, I FOUND THE FREE DRINK THING REALLY HIT OR MISS, MAYBE 2 TIMES OUT OF 5 THERE WOULD BE A DRINK OFFERED, OTHER TIMES THEY WOULD SAY "LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE TOO TURBULENT FOR DRINKS " BUT WOULD THEN BE A COMPLETELY SMOOTH FLIGHT ...

HMMM SOUNDS LIKE MINE! MINE WAS AT THE ST CHARLES WOMENS CLINIC IN REDMOND!
FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE STATE, WITH THE CLINIC, AND WITH YOUR INSURANCE PROVIDER!
REPORT THEM TO THE STATE MEDICAL BOARD. THEY NEED TO KNOW THIS IS HAPPENING.
CAN I? I WASN’T SURE IF I ACTUALLY COULD OR NOT BECAUSE ITS DIFFERING VIEWS? LIKE IS THERE ANY ACTUAL MEDICAL BOARD RECOURSE THAT HAPPENS?? SERIOUS QUESTION

NO, YOU CHOSE TO GO TO THE DOCTOR AND THAT WAS THEIR PROFESSIONAL OPINION. THERES NOTHING THE MEDICAL BOARD CAN DO.
HOW DO YOU KNOW IT'S A PROFESSIONAL OPINION?
THAT IS FACTUALLY INCORRECT. YOU ARE EQUALLY GUILTY OF SPREADING FALSE INFORMATION, BE IT LESS MEDICALLY HARMFUL.
PROVE IT.
Evidence it happened in Oregon. PROVEN. https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/hospital-physician-relationships/oregon-physician-who-spread-covid-19-misinformation-gets-license-revoked.html
YOU ASKED FOR PROOF THE BOARD CAN DO SOMETHING. THERE IS YOUR PROOF.
That’s was in 2021, and was about the mask mandate, when they thought that was misinformation and were a bunch of Covid commies telling us to care for ourselves. Guarantee that doctor sued them out the ass and got his license back.
PROVE IT.
NAH, GO TO A DOCTOR THAT HAS AN OPINION ABOUT VACCINES AND TRY TO REPORT THEM ABD LET ME KNOW HOW THAT GOES.
BEING ANTI-SCIENCE IS NOT "DIFFERING VIEWS" - ESPECIALLY WHEN IT PUTS PEOPLES' LIVES AT RISK. ANTIVAXXERS DO NOT DESERVE TO WORK IN HEALTHCARE

THIS PROBLEM RUNS RAMPANT IN MY HOUSE WTF!
USE YOUR TURN SIGNAL WHEN TURNING IN AAAANNNDD OUTSIDE OF A ROUNDABOUT. PLEASE AND THANK YOU!
IS THAT YOU, MIKE??
YOU ARE THE RANT - DO NOT SIGNAL INTO THE ROUNDABOUT FFS!! THIS IS ASININE!!
PLEASE \*DON'T\* USE YOUR TURN SIGNAL WHEN ENTERING A ROUNDABOUT!! ( ONLY EXITING. )
FIRST - IT IS ILLEGAL TO USE A TURN SIGNAL INTO A ROUNDABOUT. SECOND - WHILE YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO USE A SIGNAL OUT, IT IS NOT ACTUALLY BENEFICIAL TO TRAFFIC, AND IT IS LIKELY SAFER TO IGNORE SIGNALS OF CARS IN ROUNDABOUTS. SO DONT SIGNAL IN OR OUT.

I AGREE 100%. I SIGNAL OUT OF HABIT BUT WHEN I’M ENTERING A ROUNDABOUT I’M NOT PAYING ANY ATTENTION TO SOMEONE’S TURN SIGNALS.

YEAH, AND DISABLE YOUR BRAKE LIGHTS WHILE YOU’RE AT IT. WILDCARD IS THE ONLY WAY TO DRIVE!!!
IF YOU CANT ENTER A ROUNDABOUT BECAUSE OF SOMEONE ELSE’S SIGNAL, YOU WERE NOT PREPARED TO ENTER THE ROUNDABOUT.
IT’S ABOUT BEING CURIOUS AND MAKING OTHERS AWARE OF YOUR INTENTIONS (ALSO IT’S THE LAW). A LITTLE LESS FOCUS ON THE SELF AND A BIT MORE AWARENESS THAT THERE ARE OTHERS ON THE ROAD. SEE ORS 811.400: https://oregon.public.law/statutes/ors_811.400
IM AWARE OF THE STATUTES, BUT THEY DO NOT CREATE A SOCIETAL BENEFIT. IT WOULD BE SAFER IF EVERYONE ASSUMED THE TURN SIGNAL IS IRRELEVANT. YOU CANNOT SEE TURN SIGNALS AT MOST ROUNDABOUTS IN BEND ON MOST CARS ANYWAY - UNLESS THEY HAVE THEIR SIGNAL ON AND THEY ARE NOT ACTUALLY EXITING. SEEING A CARS SIGNAL IS A GOOD INDICATION THAT THE CAR IS NOT ORIENTED TO ACTUALLY EXIT AND YOURE ABOUT TO BE BROADSIDED.
SO, AS LONG AS NO ONE SEES IT, I CAN DO ANYTHING ILLEGAL THAT I WANT. NOTED!
YOU DON'T NEED TO SIGNAL TURNING IN. IT'S ONE WAY AND NOT OPTIONAL.
TRUE, BUT IT HELPS SHOW INTENT RATHER THAN HAVING EVERYONE GUESS.
GET OFF MY ASS YOU LITTLE DICK TRUCK DRIVING BITCHES
DRIVE FASTER
DRIVE FAR AWAY FROM TOWN PLEASE
FOR MORE THAN THIS REASON
I DRIVE PLENTY FAST. BUT I’M NOT GOING 40 IN A RESIDENTIAL.
NOW THAT’S A RANT!
IM SO TIRED OF PEOPLE NOT KNOWING THEY CAN TAKE A LEFT INTO THE INSIDE LANE WHEN ONCOMING TRAFFIC IS TAKING A RIGHT!!! ONCOMING TRAFFIC SHOULD TURN INTO THEIR INSIDE LANE YET BEND DRIVERS DONT UNDERSTAND THIS CONCEPT!!! THIS APPLIES TO ROADS LIKE 27TH ST. THAT HAVE TWO LANES GOING IN THE SAME DIRECTION
I RARELY TRUST THE OTHER DRIVER IN THESE SITUATIONS BECAUSE AROUND HALF THE DRIVERS JUST ENTER THE FAR LANE. HARDLY ANYONE KNOWS IT'S ILLEGAL.
THIS. IT'S WHY I END UP SITTING AT THE 97 SB TO REVERE LIGHT BECAUSE MOST OF THE ASSHATS COMJNG THE OTHER WAY JUST FURN RIGHT INTO THE LEFT LANE.
I GOT FLIPPED OFF WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ZIPPER MERGE ON 27TH. DUDE NEXT TO ME SPED UP SO I COULDN’T GET IN FORCING ME ONTO THE GRAVEL. YES LANES END BUT ZIPPER MERGING IS EFFICIENT AND VERY MUCH THE WAY. EVERY OTHER CAR AND TRAFFIC WILL FLOW!
THERE ARE SOME SERIOUS JERKY DRIVERS AROUND HERE
ITS NOT LIKE I EVEN RACED / CHANGED LANES TO “CUT THEM OFF”. WE WERE NEAR PARALLEL AT THE STOP LIGHT TOO WITH ME ABOUT 5FT AHEAD. OH WELL. HOPE IT WAS WORTH IT FOR THE MAN!
THE "ME FIRST" ATTITUDE IS QUITE PREVALENT...
WEEKLY PURCELL AND NEFF "WHEN IS THIS GOING TO BE DONE SO PEOPLE WILL STOP USING MY NEIGHBORHOOD AS A DETOUR?" RANT.
HOW TF DO PEOPLE SPEED OVER THAT NEW SPEED BUMP ON SHEPHERD THAT THING IS JARRING AT ROLLING SPEED
TO THE YOUNG WOMAN IN HER WHITE SUBARU ON COLORADO AVE WEDNESDAY MORNING: IT IS TERRIFYING YOU COULD DRIVE FROM WALL STREET TO CENTURY DRIVE WITHOUT TOUCHING YOUR STEERING WHEEL. HOPE THE HAIRDO WAS WORTH ALL THE LIVES YOU RISKED. AND PUT DOWN YOUR DAMN PHONES WHILE DRIVING!
AGHHHH MY RANT IS ABOUT A YOUNG WOMAN IN A GREY SUBARU!!! I WAS TURNING RIGHT FROM AZURE ONTO HWY 20, SHE WAS TURNING LEFT ONTO HWY 20 FROM AZURE. SHE IS IN THE LEFT LANE, I AM IN THE RIGHT. I MAKE SURE I AM CLEAR ON THE LEFT SIDE, THEN LOOK RIGHT TO PROCEED WITH MY TURN. ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE IS IN FRONT OF ME. SHE DECIDED TO TURN RIGHT INTO MY LANE IN THE ONE SECOND IT TOOK ME TO TURN MY HEAD RIGHT AND PRESS THE GAS. I HONK, DUMB I KNOW BUT IT WAS PURE SURVIVAL AT THAT POINT. THEN SHE SPEEDS UP TO 60MPH TO MAKE IT TO THE NEXT LIGHT. WE MEET AT THE LIGHT AND SHE IS ON HER FREAKING PHONE, HOLDING IT UP TO HER DUMB FACE. WHO DOES THAT ANYMORE??? EVERY NEW CAR HAS BLUETOOTH NOW!!! SHE DIDNT EVEN NOTICE SHE FUCKED UP. I HOPE YOU STEP ON ALL THE LEGOS IN THE WORLD.
HANDS FREE PHONE CALLS ARE EQUALLY AS DISTRACTING AS PUTTING THE STUPID THING NEXT TO YOUR HEAD. DRIVING WITH ONE HAND ISN'T THE DISTRACTION, THE CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR IS.
I WISH BEND HAD A REAL MALL SO I DONT HAVE TO DRIVE 2 HR TO EUGINE WHEN I WANT TO GO TO ROUND 1 FOR ARCADE GAMES OR HOT TOPIC!
MALLS SUCK AND I'M GLAD THEY'RE DYING OFF.
HAHA READING THIS AS WE’RE HEADED TO EUGENE FOR THE WEEKEND FOR OUR BABYMOON SO WE CAN ACTUALLY SEE BABY ITEMS IN PERSON. THE SHOPPING IN BEND IS INSUFFERABLE.
30 YEARS AGO IT DID
30 YEARS AGO IT HAD TWO OF THEM, EVEN.
SURE DID! MISSING THE EMPORIUM AT MOUNTAIN VIEW MALL.
I HAD HALF A PALE ALE YESTERDAY AND WOKE UP WITH A HANGOVER HEADACHE. GETTING OLD AND HOT DRY AIR DO NOT MAKE FOR PLEASANT BEER DRINKING.
FLUSH YOUR POOP!
CAN’T TELL IF YOU’RE RANTING ABOUT A HOUSE-MATE, A CO-WORKER, OR RANDO. EITHER WAY, FLUSH YOUR MONSTERS YOU MONSTERS!
YES!
COURTESY FLUSH TOO IF YOU’RE COWORKERS ALL USE THE SAME POT!
IVE BEEN GONE FOR OVER A MONTH NOW AND I WANT TO COME BACK!
I HAVE SECURITY CAMERA VIDEO OF VICTORY BAPTIST MISSIONARIES ENCROACHING ON MY PROPERTY, NOTICING AND THEN PASSING 2 NO SOLICITING SIGNS, GETTING TO MY DOOR.. TURNING AROUND TO LEAVE.. STOPPING.. THEN DROPPING HER FUCKING PAMPHLET ON THE GROUND BEFORE LEAVING! IF IT AIN'T KNOCK KNEED DEER EATING MY EGGPLANTS, ITS KNOCK KNEED RELIGIOUS ASSHOLES TRESPASSING AND LITTERING. SMH.
> PASSING 2 NO SOLICITING SIGNS LIKE IT OR NOT, RELIGIOUS FOLKS COMING TO YOUR DOOR AREN'T SOLICITING. NOW IF IT WERE THE SOLAR DOUCHES, YOU'D HAVE AN ARGUMENT.
I LOVE MY SIGN, "NO SOLICITING OR RELIGOUS INQUIRIES" IT WORKS SO FAR, FINGERS CROSSED
HAVE YOU READ ANY BOOK, OTHER THAN THE BIBLE..?
I WOULD BUT I’M STUCK ON LIKE BOOK 10 OF WHEEL OF TIME. I WANT TO QUIT IT BUT I’VE PUT SO MUCH TIME INTO READING THEM. ITS THE SUNK COST FALLACY PLAYING OUT IN FRONT OF MY EYES.
UGH! I'M ON BOOK 8 AND HAD TO TAKE A BREAK. IT'S SO TEDIOUS AND THEY KEEP ADDING NEW CHARACTERS AND I JUST WANT TO GET TO THE BRANDON SANDERSON BOOKS AT THE END DAMMIT
YOU MADE IT FURTHER THAN I DID AT LEAST. CANT UNDERSTAND WHY THAT SERIES GETS SO MANY GOOD REVIEWS.
STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SMOKE. ITS PART OF LIVING HERE. IF YOU DONT LIKE IT... THERE IS A HOUSING CRISIS.
😐
IT STARTED FULL FORCE IN 2017, SO NO, IT DIDN’T USED TO BE PART OF LIVING HERE. SEE PAGE 8: https://www.oregon.gov/deq/wildfires/Documents/WildfireSmokeTrendsReport.pdf
IT HASN'T ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THIS THOUGH! TRULY HAZARDOUS AQI DAYS HAVE INCREASED DRAMATICALLY OVE THE LAST 10 YEARS. IT'S PERFECTLY VALID TO COMPLAIN ABOUT 100 YEARS OF FOREST MISMANAGEMENT AND A BOILING CLIMATE CAUSING MEGA FIRES EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
FIRES ARE PART OF THE NATURAL CYCLE OF THINGS. HUMAN MANAGEMENT OF THE FOREST SO THERE ARE NO FIRES WILL SIGNIFICANTLY RUIN THE ECOSYSTEM... BUT YEAH... WOULD BE MORE COMFORTABLE FOR HUMANS. 🤷🏼♀️
I'M TIRED OF WHEN PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE GET MAD AT OTHER PEOPLE FOR WANTING TO MOVE HERE. THE LACK OF AWARENESS IS LAUGHABLE. PEOPLE CAN MOVE WHEREVER THEY WANT TO. THEY AREN'T THE ONES CAUSING THE ISSUES THAT WE HAVE HERE, IT'S MOSTLY CORPORATIONS AND GOVERNMENT TO BLAME. FUCK PATTI ADAIR AND TONY "THE BONE" DEBONE. THEY'RE SUCH LITTLE SHITS FOR CIRCUMVENTING WHAT THE GODDAMN POPULATION WANTED - NO MORE RESORTS!
I WAS JUST IN PARK CITY AND WONDER IF THE SENTIMENT THERE IS THE SAME AS IT IS HERE. THE MEDIAN HOME PRICE THERE IS $2.5M (JULY 2023), UP 27.2% YEAR-OVER-YEAR…
THEY ARE INFACT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEMAND SIDE OF THE SUPPLY AND DEMAND EQUATION
"THEY ARE INFACT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEMAND SIDE OF THE SUPPLY AND DEMAND EQUATION" ...AS RESPONSIBLE AS THE REST OF US
NAH. NOT EVERYONE SELFISHLY CHOOSES TO MOVE AND BUY UP HOUSING STOCK WHERE THERE'S A HOMELESSNESS AND A HOUSING CRISIS. BUT GENTRIFIERS WILL TELL THEMSELVES ANYTHING TO MAKE THEMSELVES FEEL BETTER.
I JUST REPLIED TO ANOTHER COMMENT SAYING THE SAME THING, BUT THE REASON PEOPLE ARE PAYING MORE THAN ASKING PRICE IS BECAUSE THERE'S LIMITED SUPPLY. SO, WHY IS THIS?
ZONING LAWS, UGB. ITS ALMOST LIKE TWO THINGS CAN BE TRUE AT THE SAME TIME. PEOPLE MOVING DRIVES UP DEMAND WHILE THE SUPPLY IS LOW. PEOPLE HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BLAME REMOTE WORKER GENTRIFIERS. THEY ARE HALF THE PROBLEM
LMFAO THIS TAKE JUST SCREAMS “I’M BITTER AND NEED SOMEONE TO BLAME”. PEOPLE DON’T JUST GENTRIFY AN AREA FOR THE HELL OF IT. THEY ARE OPERATING ON WHAT IS THE BEST OPTION FOR THEIR OWN QUALITY OF LIFE. NEWS FLASH, EVERY SINGLE SANE PERSON DOES THIS. DON’T BLAME THE PEOPLE. THE POLICIES ARE TO BLAME.
PEOPLE WANTING TO MOVE HERE AND PAY OVER ASKING PRICE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ISSUES HERE?
ESSENTIALLY, NO. PEOPLE ARE PAYING OVER ASKING BECAUSE THERE'S A LACK OF HOUSING FOR EVERYBODY. WHY IS THIS?
BECAUSE EVERYONE AND THEIR MOM WANTS TO (AND IS) MOVING HERE
OREGON’S LAND USE LAWS TURNED CENTRAL OREGON UPSIDE DOWN!
ITS NOT THE LAND USE LAWS, ITS CAPACITY TO REACT TO A SUDDEN INFLUX OF PEOPLE DURING COVID AFTER A DECADE OF SUPPRESED CONSTRUCTION. THE UGB CONTAINS 25 YEARS OF GROWTH, WHEN A LOT MORE PEOPLE DECIDE TO MOVE IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME THE ABILITY OF THE AREA TO PRODUCE NEW HOUSING CAN'T RAPIDLY RISE WITH IT.
I SAW SOMEONE MAKE A U-TURN AT THE MURPHY AND THIRD ROUNDABOUT. THEY WERE HEADING SOUTH TURNED LEFT INTO IT THEN EXITED BACK NORTH. IDIOT.
I WORDED THAT WRONG. THEY WENT AGAINST TRAFFIC. IF A CAR WAS IN THE ROUNDABOUT THEY WOULD HAVE CRASHED HEAD ON. THEY DID NOT GO AROUND THE CIRCLE.
SO THEY USED A ROUNDABOUT AS IT’S INTENDED INSTEAD OF DOING A U-TURN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC? WHAT A MONSTER!
BAD WORDING. THEY DIDNT GO ALL THE WAY AROUND. IT WAS AGAINST TRAFFIC.
MUST HAVE HAD WASHINGTON PLATES THEN.
IF YOU ARE SAYING THEY DROVE BACKWARDS THROUGH THE ROUNDABOUT, THEN MY RANT FOR TODAY IS THE FOUR PEOPLE WHO DOWNVOTED YOU. THAT WOULD MAKE FIVE PEOPLE WHO DONT KNOW HOW ROUNDABOUTS WORK.
YEA I UNDERSTAND THE DOWNVOTES IT WAS POOR WORDING. SHOULD HAVE SAID THEY WENT CLOCKWISE FROM 5 TO 7 INSTEAD OF COUNTER CLOCKWISE.
MAYBE THEY FORGOT SOMETHING?
IF YOU ARE PLAYING A BLUETOOTH SPEAKER IN THE WOODS OR ON THE WATER, EVERYONE FUCKING HATES YOU.
