  • Oh poppy cock. Oregon has some pretty diverse grocery options most of them cheaper than Kroger and Albertsons.

    For example, corvallis, has a winco, Walmart market, grocery outlet, and traders Joe’s, all of which I can easily spend less at than Safeway or Fred Meyer, which is the big Kroger brand in Oregon.

    Then there’s also, university market and natural grocers, 15 minutes down 22 there’s an iga, locally owned chains designed to be close to certain housing, smaller, a little more expensive.

    Then there’s the Asian (like HK) and Indian (like Desi) markets. There used to be a Mexican grocery they’re but it shut down. I’m certain you’ll have one in Portland though. These places have amazing specialty ingredients as well as some great deals on standard stuff.

    Finally there’s a market of choice which is traditionally expensive, but occasionally has some seriously good deals.










  • This is such a bad take.

    You’re not the arbitor of news. Being able to discredit her is important to a lot of people who have lost friends and family to get quackery.

    To some of us, any argument you can use to bring those you love, people who are once upon a time intelligent, rational creatures, back into reality is important.

    Her being disgraced may give her another 15 seconds of happiness, but it’s another point of argument. It won’t be a winning point for everyone, but it can be a tipping point for some.

    You much think it’s bad journalism, but you’re not the arbiter for everyone. So, since you like to put your head on the sand and be ignorant about the people who spread dangerous medical misinformation, the kind that lead to mobs in Spain trying to pull down cellular towers, scroll past and keep doing that while the rest of us talk about seagulls







  • You entirely missed the point of this picture.

    This picture isn’t about breaking Steve’s fingers so you can both play shitty guitar. It’s about making sure you can both access a guitar and lessons to learn.

    The equality picture would be shoving a guitar in each of your hands and a coupon for lessons, while failing to address that you live 2 hours away from the teacher while he lives next door.

    Eta: equity would be providing you with a free buss ride to the teachers house 2 hours away. This gives you all the tools to get guitar lessons, but, you might not be able to take advantage of this because a 5 hour commitment isn’t the same as a 1 hour 5 minute commitment and you lose out on opportunity cost. You get free guitar lessons and a ride, but the system is broken. Justice is fixing the system so that there’s enough guitar teachers within a reasonable distance. Like say, making sure that no one is more than 20 minutes from a guitar teacher.
