You are = you're. Dumbfuck.

you are all haters and exactly what is wrong with society. except for the last comment. it seems like this this is just about being thankful to live where you live...

First of all I am ashamed to be interacting with you people in this sort of interface, especially as someone who was born here.

secondly, why doesn't everyone in PDX just become an editor already? it's interesting that people with PhDs are bickering with people with heinous STDs. Know WHY?! 'cause you all can't get hired anywhere, aren't hip enough to work for Stumptown and are juuuust slightly overqualified to work at Walmart even though in all your self-righteousness have considered it in your coked out haze.

In conclusion, people seem to be so bored with themselves and the not-so-sudden self awareness bit thanks to Portlandia that nothing interesting is actually happening anymore. And when people (like the most recent I,A person) call people bitching out on their underwhelming feelings of nothingness...it just seems to hit closer to home for everyone who reads it.

People around here I swear do stupid and illegal things JUST to have something INTERESTING happen.

As I bring this whole point home I'll reference my initial statement which was I can't believe I've stooped to even wasting my time with this and all you people and spend 10 minutes on this issue.

My advice is to go to grad school and try to gain a valid sense of legitimacy and teach somewhere or something. Or get a real job.
Or become a graphic designer LOL.
Or start a Boutique LOL.

If not that, you can strip, become a bartender, or move back to California.

Anon number 4,
Your reply had literally nothing to do with this post. Nothing at all. I think we all agree with you that we don't know why you are wasting your time. You sound so pretentious and ridiculous that it borders on embarrassing. I think you are attempting to stick up for this person who called "people bitching out".. you did completely the opposite considering your entire post was bitching about people in Portland. You speak of the self-righteous when your post was exactly that. Don't complain about the city changing or go back to California? Did you not just complain about the stereotypical person in Portland? You must have been, because last I checked you don't know who the fuck has an std, who doesn't have a college education, and who is unemployed or not. Are you going to go back to California, which you seem to dislike so much as well? Oh, you're not from California? I wouldn't have known, because this is the internet.

Anywho, "hipsters" love to bitch about fellow "hipsters" so Ill bet five bucks you went to art school, have coool tattoos, a coool haircut, are unemployed, and hang out at those bars you tell people to bartend at with your nose up. Doesnt feel so awesome being pigeonholed just because you live in Portland, huh?

Stop being a fucking xenophobe and, like I,A stated, GET HAPPY.

People complain, and others complain about people complaining. We're all a bunch of whiny complainer babies, and that's ok with me. I want to complain about the "IF YOU DONT LIKE IT YOU CAN GITT OUUTT" mentality. People have their own opinion about where they'd like to see their city, state, or country go, in terms of progress. No, you dont have to get out, or migrate to California from the place you obviously care enough about to have specific hopes for. You should be productive towards the change you would like to see. Or dont be, its really your choice. All i know is 'I, anonymous' isnt going to make change or stop change, nor is telling people to get out if they dont like it. Its haughty and pointless. IF ROSA PARKS WENT BACK TO CALIFORNIA BECAUSE SHE DIDNT LIKE THE BACK OF THE BUS, WHERE WOULD WE BE? IF AL GORE WENT BACK TO CALIFORNIA INSTEAD OF INVENTING THE INTERNET, WE WOULDNT BE HERE RIGHT NOW.

I'd like to complain about people who complain about people who complain. Ah, not really, I have stuff to do
