I enjoyed him in 1923 as well, but Shrinking was 👌

I think you just don’t know how to tell time?

If you had actually read the article you would know that they are not, in fact, blaming the troops. They are blaming the leadership and government for poor planning and strategy that has left them unprepared for the wars we now find ourselves in. Wars like in Iran where despite the bombing campaign, Iran is still in control of the Strait of Hormuz and still has drones they are using the kill and threaten US interests and allies.

In addition, the American government appears unwilling and/or unable to change course and prepare for the realities of war in the 21st century. It’s yet another example of our broken system not solving any problems for the country.

I’m just over here saving my wife’s life on the regular.

Don’t worry. The board gave their CEO a huge amount of money so he’s sure to turn it around!

You’re hired!

That’s a good point. I’m lucky enough that I don’t live within an HOA, but I’m sure many of my neighbors would raise a stink if someone tried to build a duplex on one of the lots.

The bigger issue around me is actually real estate investors buying the houses to use as rentals. It means people don’t stay at the house long term, and it can change the dynamics of the neighborhood. I don’t have a solution to this specific problem, but I’d love something that skewed outcomes to be more financially beneficial to people buying a house to live in.

Agreed. In many of the bluest places there seems to be a lot of NIMBY-ism. So, while it used to be an affordable place to live, the older folks that bought their homes decades ago don’t want their home prices to go down. This seems to make things like re-zoning for multi-family (or denser) housing, restricting car parking, etc. much harder than it should be.

It feels short-sighted because living in a dense, walkable city is a really great experience, and it’s the only thing I miss about the East Coast. Everything else there I’m glad to be away from.

I’ll admit to not having seen the lion’s share of Portland’s neighborhoods, but the most walkable ones seem to be closer to the river. However, there’s no reason this can’t spread from there if we actually allow it too. Neighborhood bars, walking distance to a grocery store, more parks, MORE SIDEWALKS, etc.

Also, Minnesota is amazing.

Agreed. Talk your neighbor like a normal person.

Passive aggressive bull shit alone won’t fix the issue.

Maybe he’s a dick and won’t care. Then you should take it up with management.

Looks like that’s on the back hidden behind the photo?

No issue!
