Portland
Welcome to the lemmy.world community for Portland, Oregon!
This community has kind of been empty since it was created, I'm hoping to change that!
Unlike "other" Portland communities you may have seen "elsewhere", I believe in a "warts and all" approach. You are free to take off your Rose tinted glasses and talk about topics that are dragging our city down.
At the same time, sunset pics, snowmageddon, traffic monster, cones, that's all welcome as well. Let's collectively keep Portland weird!
2024 is going to be an interesting year politically with all the changes to city government, I will attempt to tag political threads with a [Politics] tag and encourage users to do so as well.
Other than the lemmy.world restrictions on spam, copyrighted material, and adult material (USE that NSFW tag!), there's only one real way to get in trouble here:
- Don't attack other users.
It's OK to go after Teargas Ted, it's OK to say Rene Gonzales is a fascist, ACAB, BLM, whatever floats your boat (WEFYB).
It's NOT OK to attack or diminish another user. Feel free to disagree, you can point out the many ways you think they're wrong, just don't start throwing perjoratives AT OTHER USERS.

Not always cool. Portland police used to turn a blind eye to it, then this happened:

Oh that's fucked. It's no good if they can't actually handle themselves decently.
It’s not cool at all. They need to spend the money to rent time on tracks. Make it a show and make money of people who go would actually wanna see that.
I don't agree with that. I don't think the rich people who own the track should get to decide everything.
Yeah, no. You don’t get to put others lives at risk without consent for a dumb little hobby.
Then whining about “being cancelled” because the public finally made the cops do something about this public nuisance…. lol.
To put the cherry on top, acting like you’re somehow the justified and non-entitled one for wanting to street race. LMAO.
That's not how quoting works. Don't put words in my mouth. I literally don't own a car. Go fuck yourself.
And so the poor people on the street need to pay the price by being inconvenienced at best and injured at worst? That’s a stretch if I ever heard one. The racers are not noble in any way.
Killed. Killed at worst.
You just gonna insert your own implications into my comments while ignoring half of them? Get fucked.
lol, which ones did I ignore? Your pseudo half assed tankie bullshit comment about the “owner class” not getting what they want? Take that back to .ml or better yet go join lemmygrad. And what I did is called making a counterpoint. It’s a part of discussion. But yeah just keep feeling everyone to f themselves when they disagree with you.
ROFL!
You don't disagree with me. You disagree with shit you make up about me. I don't even need to be here for you to have a whole argument against yourself.
PIR is owned by the city, genius.
And they host this stuff all the time. All these idiots had to do was pay the $40 car entry fee and they could party all night long.
Pretty sure PIR requires license, registration, and insurance. Based on the arrests being made, these idiots don't qualify for PIR.
Who is "the city"?
City of Portland. It's a public facility.
That's actually pretty nice.
