PROTIP: THE PRETENTIOUSNESS OF MY DIET IS SHEER PROJECTION ON YOUR PART. I'M NOT WALKING AROUND BITCHING AT PEOPLE FOR EATING THINGS I DON'T. I JUST DON'T EAT CERTAIN THINGS.

ALSO, THIS SMACKS OF SOMEONE WHO MOVED HERE 5 YEARS AGO. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, GO BACK TO HOBOKEN.

LOL, IA calls PDX provincial and small-minded and he's correct!
4
Yeah, or bring new smack, no one likes used up heroine.

Boring is as boring does. There are no small parts, only small actors. One man's trash is another man's treasure. What? Oh, nevermind.
6
We are not tedious! In addition, the stereotypes you describe are a minority, albeit a vociferous one. Portland is so much more than that, explore it anon.

Only boring people get bored.

I don't see "hipsters" crying out for attention. I see people wanting to be "hipsters" (for some reason...be who you are!), not quite making it and taking it out on those they perceive to be "hip".

And "get the fuck over it" is what you say when you have no actual argument. It means you're an original enough thinker to write for The Oregonian.

IA is right about one thing: this down is dull, dull, dull.

Time for a new feather pillow!

Hey, I know an exciting town: Tacoma!
12
I like fun things that are fun.
13
Yeah, I kind of agree with you. I also wish there was more to do in this town that didn't completely revolve around bar culture. So tired of drunks.
14
Ok, seriously. I think it's hilarious when people complain about how the only thing to do around here is get drunk. If all you do around here is get drunk, you're doing it wrong.
15
or you are an alcoholic. Either/or

I've been vegan for 6 months now, and feeling great.... almost no signs of dickishness or judgmental attitude anywhere to be found. Same for the dozens of vegans I've met. Maybe we all find what we're looking for?

As for the issue on bar culture.... well, let's just say I heavily overindulged trying to meet friends and lovers, but to very little effect. If you're feeling the same but like going out to socialize, go check out Bula Kava House on 31st & SE Division. Mellow cafe / bar atmosphere and kava lends a chatty, giddy buzz. Have enjoyed hangin' there since I started sobering up.

you know whats not over? irony.

i do think its great you wrote a post about hipsters telling people they should ignore hipsters.

then you wrote an opinion about gentrification that started with the phrase 'no one really cares'.

sometimes i wonder if people listen to themselves when they speak.
18
@nah, they just post on here.
19
Then leave, A,I. Portland will be just fine without you.

Please wait...
