Reluctantly (hate is a strong word) on here and finding it a little interesting. I guess for a gay that likes to share his opinions and thoughts, this works.

This always happens to me. I just redid all my food maps by US region, and now I’m going to have to redo them by new, former-US country. At least Canada will see *us* as their friend and trading partner.

I always love a marching band, but a marching band plus purpose plus Portland and everything that makes the people of Portland amazing is perfection. Don’t let them take your joy, that’s how they win. #NoKings #nokingspdx

If the Affordable Care Act is so “affordable”… why is it that every time I turn around it needs to be bailed out?

[Ryan Alverdes @ralverde]

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, they hate our joy.

Portland is war ravaged!

SEND IN THE CALIFORNIA (???) NATIONAL GUARD!

@SimplySethh Nope. The rule is half the age plus 6. So, older than 25 1/2 dating 39 is supposedly fine. I think about it sometimes and think that wider age gaps can work, but then I think about the specifics and the rule actually works just about perfectly.

@fox12weather Haven’t we had three 80°+ days this year?

[Ryan Alverdes @ralverde]

@AirbnbHelp We did this once, nothing happened.

[Ryan Alverdes @ralverde]

This will come as a shock to no one, but I did as they instructed, and nothing ever happened. @airbnb @airbnbhelp customers are the *hosts* not the guests. They care about the hosts, not you.

[Ryan Alverdes @ralverde]

I had an experience with a dishonest host, and now @Airbnb has lied to me twice saying I’d have the refund, trying for a third time now. I doubt I’ll ever see the money, but really? Your response to me when I say you stole this money from me is “Yes, that is correct”?

@cosmofromca @SimplySethh If the rest of the country wants to send us on our way, I’m more than happy to be part of this new country. We would be far richer per capita than what is left of the US, and we could govern ourselves with logic. We get Alaska and Hawaii, though.

[Ryan Alverdes @ralverde]

@werewolfblake Okay, but if that redheaded guy is the same as our redheaded substitute, he’s also very hot.

[Ryan Alverdes @ralverde]

@mattxiv It’s like saying I can’t claim to be American, and hate the United States government. Yeah. I am proudly American, and proudly hate us.

[Ryan Alverdes @ralverde]

@SimplySethh I don’t know how you ever decide. All these hair colors look so beautiful on you.

[Ryan Alverdes @ralverde]

@SimplySethh Italy suits you.

@MarkNelsenKPTV The wording on the original post also shows how much difference there is between saying “Pacific Northwest,” and “Northwest Pacific.” I had to read that twice to understand where was meant.

[Ryan Alverdes @ralverde]

Hey, @fox12oregon, who is editing your site? This is a Portland, *Maine* picture from a Portland, Maine news site (you even credited it as such). Is anyone at all local working on the site anymore?

[Ryan Alverdes @ralverde]

@GoGeocaching Yes, but now I’m going to have nightmares for a week.

[Ryan Alverdes @ralverde]

@josueluciano91 Yes. The answer is yes I hate it the most. Which part? Yes.

[Ryan Alverdes @ralverde]

@MarkNelsenKPTV Fair, and I’m just frustrated all around. But as it relates to KPTV, I do feel that there was little to no information on your website (or other local sites) during the storm. Having to rescue someone from 26 would have been easier with information that wasn’t just snow pictures.
